    It would have been cool if Starscream also came with a damaged Megatron chest piece where the asteroid chunk could be put in.

    Seeing he comes with a Megatron is making me way to excited to line up the Autobot shuttle crew when he gets here.

    I’d be very happy if he had it, but just like with MP-11 I wouldn’t get any mileage out of it without Galvatron, Astrotrain, & Ramjet v2.

    From Western retailers, yes. Should be around $200 PO’ed from Amazon Japan if you’re in the US.

    Because the MP-11 Jets were just retooled from MP-03, TT obviously considers them v1.5. MP-52 is a completely new and different figure from the ground up.

    It came with what I thought it would, except more faces than I predicted. The drill and claw are great, as is the chunk of Cosmic Rust. Seriously guys, I LOVE it when TT reveals a sets of obscure accessories and we have to scramble our brains to recall what the heck it is and which episode it came from. Living the fan’s dream. I was expecting a clear stand but he IS a Decepticon and purple is their color. I’m not missing the Coronation Set because I still have MP11. Besides, what everyone is saying about rarely using the Coronation set is true. I already own MP Starscream (TRU Hasbro version) sans Coronation gear and I bought MP11( TT version) solely for displaying him with the cape and crown on years ago but never put it on. Maybe someday when they make MP Galvatron.

    Hopefully this is like Arcee where we had a bunch of different stock photos and FK photos.


    I'd rather they save the coronation for its own release, so that way they can offer both Wired and molded plastic options, as well as his death face. Ghost or Sleep is fine with me

    Thanks, but it seems to me that if there was the Greenscream mold and then the more accurate Starscream then those are V1.0 and V2.0 so this should be 3.0 -but what do I know?

    I think most of us agrees with you but if TT is officially calling it V2.0, then for the sake of consistency that’s what it’s called.

    Or after MP-1 anything before MP-10 just doesnt get counted. MP36 and MP22 aren't 2.0s

    Each thread here should have the capability of having a FAQ tab so that answers to questions like this can be easily found for anyone joining the thread at any point. What I'm envisioning would be more visible than a sticky post in a particular topic, this would be specific to a thread.

    Hmm… I wonder if there's an add-on for the XenForo platform that would enable that… If not, I could make one. @Tony_Bacala any thoughts in this regard?

    Okay, enough techno-rambling from me. Back on topic…

    Um I love Starscream v2.0 and I hope Amazon JP puts up preorders soon! :D

    Would be even better if the members who make the thread keep it updated with relevant pics and info. Often they are created and never updated. Look at the first post of this thread compared to pics and info we have now. It's embarrassing.

    If you can't keep the thread updated, don't make it!

    Looks like no waist articulation, but that isn't a big deal to me.

    Individually articulated fingers, though? Finally! It only took the G1 MP line THIS LONG, but it happened!

    I imagine TT will plan out the conehead retools early on instead of letting the Seeker mold degrade into moldy cheese before finally giving them their day in the spotlight.

    Look at the waist, there is a waist swivel...
    I\'m hyped about this release. It appears that it comes with a flight stand with 2 interlocking base. Clips for bot mode on stand. Excited.

    On all the American retailers, yeah. Chinese retailers like show.z should update their prices next week though.

    Well, I’ll say this, as someone who’s been very vocal with how disappointing the MP line has been, he looks alright, and the extras seem purposeful. I still in no way will pay the ludicrous price he’ll have, but good job (so far) and good job for finally making fully articulated hands!

    now if anyone doesn’t want the blast effects, I’ll gladly buy em off someone.



    Until we see him actually move at the waist, it’s just seem lines.

    What makes you say that he has a waist swivel, from all the images I've collected regarding this figure there isnt any indication of a waist swivel at all, only an ab crunch
