In 2004, one of the best versions of Optimus Prime hit the store shelves in the United States and in Japan. That figure was Masterpiece Optimus Prime. The figure was designed to look like his animated counterpart and transform into a vehicle that looked also like its animated version. The robot mode was highly articulated (right down to the fingers), and it was made almost entirely of dye cast metal. There were plastic parts such as Prime's hydraulics and the rubber tires however. The figure also featured the Autobot Matrix of Leadership which could glow when opened. It sat inside of Optimus Prime's chest behind the wind sheild and in a hidden compartment (like in the 1986 film). I could spend a lot of time talking about this figure, but I won't. If you have the $80.00 to pick him up on eBay, I would highly recommend it. Outside of the original figure and the Powermaster Optimus Prime, this is the version of the figure to get.
