20th Anniversary DVD Optimus Prime vs. Takara Masterpiece

Quick look at the differences between the 20th Anniversary DVD Optimus Prime and Takara Masterpiece Prime.

extra info: the white/silver stripe that runs from the shoulders down across the front chest and up to the other shoulder are different colours. It is pearly white on DVD prime and metallic silver on masterpiece. Also the indentation on Prime's legs next to the movable air vents (3:14) is painted silver while the DVD version is not painted.

Both versions appear to have die cast upper body and die cast legs.

actuallyt not a silly uqestion. they are both very good and the DVD version is great value for money. the takara version costs so much more but is more collectible .

You should really do some more comparison video's of other transformers. This one was great !

As much as I love Optimus Prime, I come back to this video just for the soothing voice that mellows me out. Now I'm ready to go to bed.

Thanks for this video! I had to settle for the Hasbro DVD version, which I'm not thrilled about, but I know third party companies make replacement heads and smoke stacks that I may look into. I think the talking stand is just a joke, that doesn't even sound like Prime, it sounds like an un-mechanized version of Iron Hide. I also wish the Hasbro version came with the cardboard trailer. I know there are actual trailers you can buy, but they're as expensive as Prime himself, which is lame.

takara is the best

@chuculba There was a pepsi version, the trailer is a giant pepsi bottle on wheels that still turns into a battle station. Optimu himself is red and white with blue stripes.

I suppose the Hasbro one is great for several reasons; first being if you can't get your hands on the Takara one then the Hasbro version is a good option. If you are feeling brave you can redeco the toy (Hasbro) yourself or hand it over to someone with some skill, to either customise it or update it's colour scheme. Let's not forget that with the Hasbro one you can play with it and not worry about breaking it as much, considering the Takara one costs way more.

well theres still only 3...the prime figure with the trailer is exactly the same as the masterpiece one. it just comes with a trailer. hes only talking about the prime figure itself, which there are only 3 of, not counting trailers, or gun colours.
