Any idea on who Saturn is? Was apparently going to have deluxe figure in one of the waves too. My guess is the obvious choice would be a Starscream in terms of popularity. Is his jet mode licensed in the first movie?

Also, I see Takara and Hasbro logos on the box. Can we expect a regular Hasbro release of these Movie Masterpiece figures? Or are they just Takara and HasbroAsia.

Also, are these movie masterpiece figures going to be exclusive to any retailer if released domestically by Hasbro?

 

Starscream was an officially licensed F22 Raptor. They are going to be Toys R Us exclusives.

 

Cool, thanks. Wonder if they will be just as hard to find as some of the other TRU exclusive MP figures and if I should just go the Takara route to avoid a headache

 

You're welcome.

 

Linkin Park's "What I've Done" started running through my head as I looked through these photos, haha. Depending on the price, I'd love to get this figure!

In the first three films, Optimus transformed into a modified Peterbilt 379 that I believe wasn't officially licensed.
In AoE and TLK he transforms into a Western Star "5700 OP" concept truck that is officially licensed.

 

So I wonder how many different versions of Masterpiece Bumblebee we will be getting. It might be a different version for each movie

 

Maybe eventually...What other cool licensed vehicles did original movie characters have? IIRC, no one really played a prominent role other than Bee, Prime, Starscream, Barricade, and Megatron in the original movie
