Courtesy of the good people at Toys Alliance and TFNation, we have got an exclusive in-hand look at the upcoming Toys Alliance Master Action Optimus Prime.
The test shot we handled was still an early release, but this one is already feeling like it will be something amazing. It’s very solid with firm ratchets helping Optimus hold lots of poses, including punching the ground, opening his Matrix chamber, or holding his rifle in two hands. Both the eyes and the Matrix light up – the eyes have a wonderful glow that really gives him a sense of vibrancy and life. Please note that the final one will have darker red paint than the sample seen here.
Check out our pics of this release attached to this post, and a big thanks again to Toys Alliance and TFNation for the opportunity.

I looked around on youtube, but couldn't find anything about taking it apart. Tons of reviews but nobody has taken it apart that I've seen.

I think there was a video of it, somewhere.

Just got this guy in the mail, and he's quite impressive. However when I went to put batteries in the head, the nut that hold the access panel on fell into the head. I was able to get the nut out by prying the top open a bit, but I don't want to force it open and break something. I don't suppose anyone has opened the head on this one before?
I'm attaching a picture of the head for better illustration.

I think it's the metallic component of the paint that lightens the red in direct light. I agree that I have to play with the colour settings to get Prime to be as red as he is in MP-10.

I think everyone would like their primes to be as red as it is in those pictures, I always fiddle with the colours when I take pics of it.
Can't remember if the prototype they showed at TF Nation was as 'pink'

I would prefer it too in a brighter and lighter red version.
The MAS line is good, it'a a sin that my 2 Primes have some minor paint defects

Cool thanks. Your pictures made me realize how nice this guy actually is. I'm so tempted to paint it now.
TheLordoftheRobots
It's a Gimp trick. I push up the colors in post production. Mine is not bright like you can see in the pictures.
idcrisis
LordoftheRobots, did you paint yours or was it a camera trick? It's so…red. Mine is almost pink.
TheLordoftheRobots
Me too

Ugh. Wish their megatron would hurry up and get here

I hope Mas series go on with the G1 character.

Mine is inbound!

I like this OP so much that I bought the black version too. I am waiting for the parcel.

As it should

Great, thanks guys. I think my collection is going to take a slight departure to acquire this fine fellow.

I missed the sheen question. It’s satin. It’s definitely not gloss or flat. I like it quite a bit, since gloss makes figures look like plastic toys.
