Almost every 30 year old fans out there will be as estatic as we are for this very next posts. It's the Transformers - Generation 1 Masterpiece. Now im all for some good Transformer's movie (Michael Bay's version) but nothing and i mean nothing can even come close to the Original Generations 1 version of the transformer series.Storyline was good, A lot of crafty characthers, they dont die easily and Megatron was still a gun.
Now let's get to it, Optimus Prime.......What was your favorite forms of Optimus Prime? Was it the Armada series Priime? Animated Series Prime? Cybertronian Prime? Primal Prime? Beast Prime? Alternate Prime? Mac Truck Prime? Or just simply the original Optimus Prime? Being said that, we at the House of El love this first generation of Optimus Prime particularly and plus voiced originally by Peter Cullen.
The Latest Masterpiece class from Takara of the original form of the ever courages braveheart leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime now comes in a newer mold. This brand new version of Optimus Prime is sculpted to more closely resemble the animated G1 character, and also includes both his trailer with repair bay and Roller. In addition, this set features a Spike figure, Optimus' orange Energy Ax, the Autobot Matrix of Leadship and his blaster rifle that can fold in half and store in his back. This version of Prime is sized to go with the Rodimus and Grimlock Masterpiece figures, so be sure to get this figure to fit in with the rest of the newer Masterpiece figures. Older fans who didnt manage to buy them when they were kids can now get this...(Im one of them).
Now following in Optimus Prime's footstep, the second 1st generation autobots to be only be worthy of the Matrix of leadership is Hot Rod...Or when the music by Stan Bush kicks in, he grew taller and transformed to a new autobot leader, Rodimus Prime aka the chosen one. Hot Rod appeared in Transformers: The Movie, initially serving as a companion to the young Daniel. Kup served as Hot Rod’s built-in fencing device, the former frequently coaching the latter on his impetuous ways and mild disregard for rules and regulations. Using his retractable visor, Hot Rod was the first of the Autobots (those stationed at Autobot City) to detect the presence of the Decepticons aboard the incoming Autobot shuttle. Later, on Quintessa, Hot Rod deployed his buzzsaw to escape the misguided affections of a mechanical squid, and used his welding torch to repair the battered and dismembered Kup. Ultimately, within the labyrinthine bowels of Unicron, Hot Rod retrieved the misappropriated Matrix of Leadership from the crazed Galvatron, and was imbued with a transcendent glow as the Matrix transformed the outmatched Hot Rod into the dauntless Rodimus Prime. Rodimus’ heightened strength was such that he easily defeated Galvatron, which left the new Autobot leader with the final task of unleashing the remaining power of the Matrix to destroy Unicron. 
Takara's Masterpiece has released a second one, this time around is to have corrected the flaws of the original version. The MP-09 Masterpiece Rodimus Prime is accompanied by Trailer/Mobile Defense Bay, Photon Eliminator, buzzsaw, welding torch, and Matrix of Leadership accessory. MP-09 Rodimus Prime is designed to enact the physical metamorphosis of the smaller Hot Rod into the noticeably larger Rodimus Prime; a switch-out feature swaps the younger Hot Rod likeness for the sterner Rodimus Prime likeness; Hot Rod’s twin Photon Lasers can be joined to create Rodimus’ Photon Eliminator. The metamorphosis is similarly reflected in vehicle modes, enabling Hot Rod’s sleek car mode to covert into a modified carrier for the trailer component; the Mobile Defense Bay, contained within the trailer, is equipped with a double-barreled cannon. All Takara as yet to do is create a mold for Galvatron!
