At the end of 2021, Transform Element had a clearance sale for TE-01, which made it the most budget option for a masterpiece scale Optimus, even 30% cheaper than MP44 KO.
It’s a very great cartoon accurate representation, and it still holds very well today.
So, let’s take a look at this most recent reissue in this video, and something you might need to tweak by yourself to make the figure work better.

This Optimus is not for everyone.
It emphasizes cartoon accuracy, which I could say it’s on the same level with MP 44, or even better in some aspects, like the cleanest back.
It also offers a very enjoyable transformation experience, the plastic is very smooth, and everything tabs almost seamlessly, I like that very much.
But if you enjoy posing your figures, TE 01 will let you down, the missing ab crunch, thigh rotation, ankle rockers give you very limited leeway for some natural or dynamic poses.
But for me personally, this figure makes me feel that attachment to the cartoon Optimus more than MP 44.
And for that reason, it totally worth it.
