Miniture MP Optimus Prime in near future?

That's MP Grimlock.

Lol, yeah I was mistaken. FIXED! Lol....I would buy one of these. I wonder if it is die-cast like the MP Prime?

Looks to be about Ultra sized. If I have the cash to spare, it'll be mine.

Let me guess, iGear is producing this. It would be fitting: then they'd be giving us an oversized MP trailer and an undersized MP Prime.

Still, very cool-would look great sitting next to City Commander too. Might be a must have.

It will probably cost just as much as a regular sized MP Optimus Prime!

I'm not sure where I stand on this. First instinct is this is just a possibly high-quality, undersized knockoff, and therefore a no-no.

However, isn't that exactly what the WST Dinobots are? I support those...but for some reason I feel worse about this.

I think I may be getting this..it is definitely cool..

Yes Yes YES!!! This is exactly what I've always wanted! I've never cared much for Classics Prime. Not G1-ish enough for me and a tad futuristic looking too. Just imagining this guy with FansProject's trailer . . . . it gives me goosebumps. Plus he'd look pleasantly different from Classics Ultra Magnus. For me the is beyond 'must-have'.

Mmm.. I'm not too keen personally on this miniature-type MP. I would rather have an MP that is quite bigger then the regular mold, that would rock for a Prime.

Don't much see the point... I suppose I'd probably pick it up if it were the price of a retail voyager just for the hell of it, but that won't be the case.

Now, this is an expensive KO, 'nuff said.

wow this would be neat to see hooked up with the G3 Trailer & Classic Accessory --at least i think so-- would for sure per order one if it came out- nice

I foresee this being exclusive to japan

The point is he fits in a lot better with the Classics IMHO than Voyager Prime. From what I see, he'll fit in perfectly with the City Commander as Ultra Magnus, MP Grimlock, etc.

Now the only problem is ALL of the Decepticons are one size class too small in Classics...

wat were they thinking? they should've made oversized MP Grimlock rather than this mini MP Prime!!!

I like it. But I probably won't like the cost.

Awesome! It even has the same misaligned chest problem as MP Prime.

Very true, but in light of that happening, I'd be all over this.

If they did a Megs in this scale (preferably better engineered that MP megs?) I'd be on that too.

Put me down for a Nemmy and Magnus version of this guy too.

personally, this looks nice...but i already have a masterpeice prime, one with the trailer also, and an ultra magnus mp.... i have a ths-02 and ths-02b.... so why would i want this ? if hasbro or takara would produce it i may consider it, cause frankly the price point would be better.... but unless they make some major imporvements to the mold, like making him super poseable or something, this is more $$$, less bang.... or if they include the trailer and price him like a regular masterpeice figure at about 100...well then im sold

That's exactly what I thought.

Damn that is nice! MINIPIECE PRIME!!!!

Definitely looking forward to it. LOL I wish I can get one before painted.

At least this mold would fit in better with the Alternators line, MP Prime standing next to most alternators is just too tall to look right.

Bring it on, I wish Takara would crank an MP Prime out in this size. I hope that this is not too hard to get and the plastic is okay.

I'd also like to see a shot at a smaller MP Megatron, though I'm not holding my breath for that. I like Henkei Megatron a fair amount, but I'd like something that looks a bit more G1-ish; the 'wings' throw his appearance off.

Does anyone foresee Hasbro-TakaraTommy going after them for this figure? It's a direct KO, even if it's a smaller size. Altho that doesn't mean that I won't get it if it ever gets released.

If I'm reading the ACToys posts correctly (which I may not be, Google Translate sucks) this is fan made, and the fan is waiting for input on what accessories the figure should come with to release this thing. Yes, they do appear to be planing on selling these. Let's hope they can make a few before Hasbro/Takara's lawyers can get them.

I love the MP Optimus Prime mold even at a smaller scale so if this is produced for sale, I'll pick one up.

I too would love to get my hands on this. Whether its released by Hasbro/TakTomy or is a fan project - I don't care, so long as the quality is there and the price is justifiable.

Oh please make it so, Pleeeeeeeeeease!

Agreed!, That's why I want this PRIME cause it's more G1ish than the Classics/Henkei

I kinda disagree. Considering that he's a big O truck I think he's the perfect scale.

My hope is for this mold to go along with the regular G1 or Classics scale.

so what does this do for classics prime or Henkei prime's figure?? Does this render his mold obsolete? I for one have now become accustomed to the Henkei Prime.. though I love the MP version..this mini MP could be the original prime in my collection and then in my own universe continuity, he upgrades into the henkei prime mold..

like as if the events of the 1986 movie didn't happen..Megatron could have upgraded to the Henkei gun style as well... and be a futuristic version..hmm this could work..

According to the creator in an interview, mini mp prime is in the midst of mold opening. The mold is ready in October 2009.

Currently the creator is also working on miniture MP Megatron with 1:1 scale real gun size.

Any info on price?

not yet. According to him price depends on demand, as long as he amortize the mold.

Seibertron.com member Real Devastator has found new info regarding the custom made miniature Master Piece Optimus Prime figure we reported earlier.

The information he found is that the mold is currently being created and should see completion in mid October, the price is not yet known as it depends on the demand of the figure.
He also found out what the next project is for the person behind this and the Classics miniature Classics Optimus Prime molds: Master Piece -05 Megatron! This is supposedly going to be in 1:1 scale with the actual Walter P.38!
No new pictures have been given out yet.

Stay tuned to seibertron.com for all your Transformers related news!

Screw Prime give me Megatron

Looks like I'm gonna be one of those guys that spends a ridonkulous amount of money on these as I can't get enough of my Prime and don't have Megs yet.

But to put these too at the forfront of my Classic line will ROCK!!!!

Customs will just love this! NOT! Love that last pic of MP-01 (mini-me) with MP-08 Grimmie.

O_o... oooh. Uh. That's probably not a great idea. It was bad enough getting Masterpiece Megatron, for some folks, and his excessive size was one of the things that helped keep him from crossing the line.

A 1:1 Megatron with the real deal? Eh...heh.

Great for those collectors wanting an easier to handle Megatron, figure variances, etc, though.

There are some new images of mini prime added in: http://www.actoys.net/bbs/read.php?tid-380335.html

I want this! And Megatron!!!

Must have- the only reason I don't buy masterpeice is the price and size of the figures. Definately getting Prime and Megatron, if they make seekers, probably not, I don't like the way the MP seekers look. Takara needs to make Masterpeice Soundwave so these guys can tinyfy it. And the fact Megatron being real gun size....freakin mazing, but is no doubt all hell will break loose shipping this guy.

I'm not going to replace the classics prime in my neo G1 (I really like how that sounds) collection. But if this is affordable I will probably pick it up.

I wonder if the fans project G3 trailer is in scale with this mini MP-1?

If they are trying to asses demand, put me down for 3, a red (Optimus) a white (Magnus) and a black (Nemesis).

Put 3 more down for me, hehe.

I'd love a well done Black Convoy/Scourge in RiD colours: Black, silver/chrome, teal, and red for transparent plastic(glass) parts.

This is going to be an unpopular sentiment, but I hope it's all plastic. The paint-on-metal on my MP Prime is pealing something awful.

Yeah I agree I hope its plastic because of the paint.

Really really hope this thing is released goes great with the classics line and MP Grimlock

I would prefer plastic too, specifically high quality plastic.
