    Moe: "Hello, Moe's Tavern, where the elite meet to drink."

    Bart: "Yeah. I'm trying to find out if my pal Mr. Sass is there? He goes by 'The Dragon.'"

    Moe: "Dragon Sass? Dragon Sass? Hey, has anyone seen 'The Dragon' Sass?"

    Barney: "Hey, my butt isn't that big! *BELCH*"

    [laughter]

    Moe: "Listen to me, you lousy bum! One of these days I'm gonna take all your 'converting' toys and convert 'em into a pile of plastic bits!"

    [slams phone down]

    Barney: "What kind of strange threat was that, Moe?"

    Moe: "I dunno. Something just came over me."

    More terrible detailing on a Hasbro Masterpiece. Call-outs to Hasbro colorists is not what I'm looking for on my "masterpiece" collector figure. They just don't get it, and in this case that has a double-meaning.

    I hope I can find him. My Skywarp is in great need of a fellow seeker.

    Ill wait for the Takara version. Anyway great find and review. Gotta agree with somebody's assessment that the random decal overkill- however awesome their references does somewhat make the toy seem 'weak'. pass.

    Yeah the 'detailing' is way overdone, but that won't make me pass it up.

    Looks like TC went to a Cybertronian tattoo joint on a night out drunk on Energon. :lol 

    TC: 'hey....when did I get THIS on my arm?!'' :lolol :

    One of my biggest gripes WRT to MP Seekers is that despite multiple toys, neither company has been consistent about using matching molds and decos from one toy to the next.

    Aside from that, this thing is pushing on too busy. although said detailing wouldn't be hard to remove.

    Unless the trend where Takara goes first on new molds/redecos is being broken, i don't think they're going to bother.

    There is the USA edition Starscream, but that had fairly minor alterations.

    I wonder if I'll ever see that at retail (bought MP Prime online, missed MP Grimlock due to being broke the only time I saw him, never saw any other MP's in stores)

    Might get him.
