Nice, but they need to bring on Thundercracker.

Aww what the packaging is the same too!? Wow that is such a let down for me, I wanted to order it so it'll look good with my other Masterpieces too. Aye oh well.

I'll stick with the Hasbro.

After all the hubub about Takara's version being free of 'battle damage', this is gonna be a disappointment to anyone who pre-ordered it thinking it'll look cleaner than Hasbro's version.

Guess this also officially kills the rumor we heard months ago that MP-07 would be a re-release of Starscream with the G1 repaint (the rumor that circulated before the MP Grimlock rumor, that is). If that ever was an idea actually being considered, it looks to be squashed in place of just using the Hasbro version instead. Can't say I blame them either.

Well damn, I was holding back for the Takara version, as I was hoping it wouldn't have the battle damage. Looks like I'll get the US version after all.

That blows. I wanted MP packaging. Glad I didn't pre-order, though.

Ha Ha they just took the exact same thing they are selling in Walmart and released it for twice the cost.

Pretty sure the only noticable difference is Takara SS has a Decepticon logo on the nose cone and the US one does not.

Well, IMO it wouldn't be a true 'US Version' if it was noticeably different than the actual US Version...
