Wei Jiang MPP10 (Optimus Prime): EmGo's Transformers Reviews N' Stuff

[@shockwave2008]

Damn you know the KO is very good when their details are next level. Hats off to the hard work..

[@nlpurepizza1818]

Got my MPP10 about 1,5 yrs ago... haven't got any issues with the gun in the "backpack"... Now you mention it.. haven't got any issues with the figure at all💪 Used a "constructbots" autobot shield to make him "original"... size of the shield is a perfect fit... Just grind/cut of the pin on the back of it.

[@HPTBANDIT]

Amazing you can buy a KO that’s twice the size, half the cost and looks better than the original.

[@nostalgicdouchebag1912]

These companies don't really have to pay or invest in the engineering and public reception so it makes sense

[@huatlahlah]

I bought one years ago, very well make.

[@morrislee8512]

​​@@huatlahlahdoes it still hold up? I'm planning to buy one for my b'day

[@joemamarama335]

In regards to weapon storage: The weapon does fit flush in the back, you just have to push it a little bit. It essentially “pegs” into the back. I’ve had the figure for a while and it hasn’t broken at all doing that

[@emgo316]

I've pushed it plenty, it just doesn't work.

[@domedgmng977]

I have this guy. Had him for a bit over a year. So good. Looks great, transforms well. Only issues I have had is that the legs don't want to stay together with the "gas tanks" tabbed in. Never had the problem with the blaster fitting it, the back always closes for me, and the matrix has always been a bit loose on mine. Great review though, definitely shows there is a bit of variance in the manufacturing.

[@DeVstatrOmga]

The Optimus Prime knockoffs are always way better than the official Hasbro version designs to me. Frustrating to say the least. Glad China gets it.

[@kaigar_]

Not in this case

[@justaghostinthesea]

Maybe that's why Age of Extinction pandered so hard to China

[@LetsGetitBoah]

@@kaigar_ Uh yeah in this case. There's simply no debating it. The MPP10 is a superior version of the MP10. The only issue is it doesn't match up with normal MP size standards.

Now all you need is lewin resources giant mp-10 to collect the whole set.

[@kalobhunt9001]

This was one of my first third party figures and I love him and I got his trailer. They are huge and very nice for the price. Sucks yours has those issues man mine never ran into them luckily. Yes I agree the matrix is a pain in the ass to get out.

[@thedave6153]

I never had an issue with the matrix and yes the trailer is frickin gorgeous. I'm tempted to custom paint all the details inside.,

With his trailer he is a very nice sized rendition of the alt mode. I am so glad they reissued the trailer. First and last trailer I'll be buying. Don't see me ever replacing it for another alt mode figure.

[@pantalonemarco]

I just wish they reissued the upgraded hands, I missed out on those

[@Dreadhawk]

@@pantalonemarco I wanted the gun upgrade for a long time. Thought about buying the magnus one and painting it.

[@pantalonemarco]

@@Dreadhawk it's insane how much they want for the original version now, I'd be better offer either painting one of the other kits like you said, or buying MPP10z and selling the original

[@7472wayne]

I’ve the MPP10. You’re right about the quality of the plastic. Aesthetically it’s pleasing though

[@LetsGetitBoah]

You must have gotten a KO of the KO or something, because bad plastic quality is not how I'd describe mine. As a matter of fact, mine even has die cast front windows.

[@Oglush1]

I love the upperbody/waist transformation, because it hides the wheels 100%. Also i like that you tell people about "flaws" of a figure, it really helps me out when im planning to get a new one.

[@tonyc.0451]

Despite that I watched Emgo's reviews for years, I never knew that this was his first time with this oversized Masterpiece Generation One Optimus. I remember wanting one of these in the late 2010's but limited cash made me settle with just having Beast Hunters Ultimate Optimus instead. If quality control issues are common with this figure, however, perhaps not buying MPP10 was a blessing in disguise after all.

[@tonyc.0451]

@@ChromeFace52 $80 for this Prime and he's still in good condition? Lucky you. I'm fine with Beast Hunters Ultimate Optimus on my end. Emgo, or Mascot, reviewed him, too.

I never ever picked up MP10 however I bought Megamaster a while back and I picked this guy up this past Spring to go with Megatron. I don't have any of the issues you mention but it is the luck of the draw sometimes. He looks good next to Megamaster. I also recently picked up the trailer and it is amazing. Also and I apologize if I missed you mentioning this in the video but his chest is all diecast with paint which is why it is so glossy compared to the rest of him same goes for his feet which is also why they are so much more glossy then the rest of him.

[@thedave6153]

Yeah I also have none of the issues as Emgo does. I love my MPP10. No issues whatsoever.

[@kuyavheytv4841]

I'm a little green on third party optimus, etc. Do you know where is the reliable place to get one here in North America . Thinking of getting one from Wish. But still doing my research, thanks buddy.

[@LetsGetitBoah]

@@thedave6153 Same, I'm wondering if he got a KO of the MPP10. They do in fact exist and when he said the plastic felt low quality, something was up. The plastic quality does not feel at all low quality on mine. It's actually much better feeling than the MegaMaster.

My son got this when he was five years old. To his credit, he took really good care of it. The arms seemed to be a reoccurring problem.

[@banditcrow]

The gun and matrix fit in mine very well. Perhaps I was lucky? Maybe you were unlucky? It might be a your mileage may vary kind of situation. It's a shame the one you got has issues but maybe it's good too so people can be aware. Thank you for the reviews, they're entertaining and informative. Keep up the great work.

[@carlojohnbuena5522]

I have an mpp10 as well. Gun and matrix storage are fine with me, though once the matrix is stored, it's quite hard to get mine back out (I rarely take it out anyway, so it's fine). Main issue on mine is paint chipping in various spots, mostly on the chest when opening and closing the windshield.

[@Razielchan666]

The toy that made me feel like a kid again, playing with my G2 release of the G1 OP mold. It's a pity you've lost the QC lottery, the only problem on my version was the pin holding one of the windows sticking out, I managed to push it flush with some effort. The trailer and upgrade kit (head with light up eyes, bigger, light up gun, fully articulated hands, etc) really complete this figure. Cya Raziel-chan

[@josehlr26]

I have the Battle Damaged version, MPP10Z. I love it!

[@creepermav03]

My MPP10 is able to store his gun in his back and the Matrix is pretty easy to get out. I think it's product may vary. Sorry that yours is not too well, but it's a very good figure.

It’s been a while since you’ve used “Mind… BLOWN!” And I loved every second of its four seconds.

Sad to hear you got these super unlucky issues, Emgo! I got mine two years ago and I didn't have any issues, and it's by far my favourite transforming figure (I know it's a knock-off but I'm pretty basic I guess haha) I just ordered Megamaster tho so I'm excited to see if it will become my new favourite!

Hello ,This was my first Transformer as an Adult and it is still my only Optimus Prime in my little collection, the next one will be the Mp44 to use it in robot mode and this in vehicle mode as I have it now. The only thing I do not agree with you is that the plastic is of low quality.

[@batsardcat3285]

I have the MPP10 EVA UNIT! Amazing toy

[@dillonhazel7793]

I think the problem with the storage for Prime's blaster is that the cut out that you can see when you open up that little compartment on his back isn't quite wide enough, because the barrel needs to be able to fit inside that for the compartment to close completely

[@autobothypershift8171]

Mine doesn't have any of those issues, in fact, he's beside me every time I watch your videos.

[@chrisbailey555]

Regarding the weapon storage ( not being flush when closed ),when you open the back. Could you fit the weapon directly into the back first and then close to cover over the weapon?

[@joemamarama335]

I usually put the weapon inside the fold out part and the back actually is carved out so the weapon pops into the back

Pity about the problems with the gun and matrix, i don't know if it's your copy or the "original" MPP10 mold in general. I can only vouch for the White version of MPP10 that doesn't have these problems.

[@nassahdeys92]

I had issues with the gun storage too at first but you need to wiggle the thing and apply some pressure when you close the hatch and now it stays inside flush

[@marcusoliger3639]

I have the battle damaged version amd have had zero issues. That version was also their first one I believe so that may be why there's issues with the hands. But they do have an upgrade kit for full articulated hands.

[@MrAikavari]

I have the exact figure, I dont have any issue with the gun storage on mine. Must be a QC issue. In any case, you're right, there's a lot of newer better primes (original or third party)

[@josisjacqueline9540]

That a little bit strange. I have a copy of mpp10 but i dont have the same issue with the weapon storage. And the plastic feel premium to me, not the cheap one.

[@itz_alfred0288]

the matrix, at first i thought it was too big, but i managed to get it in there securely, i just try not to take it out to much, mine didn't have any issues, but to be fair i was just very careful with this thing when i first got it and still do, i just resist playing with it to much. Don't have any version of mp10, so this was my first time messing with this mold, but i do recommend this figure, if you don't have a version already and don't mind it being an oversized KO. Got a reprolabel for his left shoulder, it really completes the look of the figure. Great review as always :) EDIT: for the gun maybe try to close it up and push it and see if it closes, the gun is pretty much pushed in as far as it goes, i tried looking at mine and i looked how the gun is positioned and it's the same as how yours looked and it closed with no problem

[@Iron_Horse_883_]

I was surprised to see the issues you had on this. I bought mine about 2 years ago now and I never had the storage issues you did. Maybe just bad QC issues, or I got lucky.

I got mine through Aliexpress. Looks the same save a couple things. 1. Smoke stacks do not extend or contract. 2. No wheel covers on the legs and 3. The legs do not have a flippable cover to hide the silver "vents" on the front of his legs above the feet in truck mode. Also did not come with energon axe or the Spike & Daniel figures. Still happy with it overall.

Could it be that the quality of the materials they use to produce MPP-10 deteriorates over the years? They are being sold on Taobao at a much cheaper price than it used to be. When it first came out in 2015, literally everybody said it was the best KO ever made, the quality was said to be even on par with the original.

Well the gun holding is a flaw brought from the original, but I also think it varies by copy as my mp10 hold his gun kinda solid if you don't push on his fingers to dislodge the gun tab but both my mp10b and mp10sg have a real hard time holding their guns if you try to wrap the fingers around the handle, they pop loose if you look at them wrong.

[@eliasrebelo8828]

I have this guy for some time. I didn't have any issues with tolerances. I also think his plastic is better because my Megatron/Megamaster fade out in some parts and this one no.

[@davidcauley9400]

Most of your complaints i don't really get, or dont have on mine...and the real FATAL FLAW that nobody ever mentions is that the knee joint is too high on the leg, after WJ extended the Shins. As long as you don't bend the knees too much then it doesn't look too weird, but don't try for anything too bent or it looks like his legs bend on the lower thigh. I'm glad they extended the lower legs, it looks better proportionately UNTIL you bend the knees, but I would have liked the knee joint to be dropped to about level with the top of the blue shin. For some reason Fanstoys Phoenix has too high knee joints too, but that doesn't have an excuse of being a KO upscale. Also: My gun goes in fine and the backpack closes fine, no issue with the matrix, holds his gun great..... No issue with the plastic, its more glossy but there zero difference other than that with Megs. Honestly mine fees solid as a rock. Frankly more solid than the engineering on Megs too, which has wobbly legs, and I had to physically repair and plastic-weld the arm ratchet mechanism on Megs. MPP10 is literally the figure that got me collecting oversized Transformers, has never broken, and despite my annoyance at the knee engineering it's till one of the best Primes IMHO

[@Skauber]

I have 3 versions of this one, the white one (ultra magnus), black (nemesis prime) and the standard red. None of them has the fitment issues with storage or anything. Perhaps it's mold degradation?

[@87DrAndrew]

That's odd, i have 2 mpp10s in the regular colors, and another one in the nemesis prime version, and neither of them have an issue, i bought them in 2017, maybe their quality control is not the same as it used to be.

[@the-aspiring-creator4249]
