    Something about the face just looks off...
    And holy hell that's an overwhelming amount of flat, boring surfaces in bot mode... looks dull. Only cool part is the glossy orange cockpit chest in robot mode. The rest is meh.

    Small reminder concerning the coronation gear and version disbelief. MP-03 was named Starscream, while MP-11 was the New Emperor of Destruction Starscream (Destron New Leader Starscream as the English label).
    Not surprised that if they call this one just Starscream that it will not have the coronation gear.
    Takara is very specific with their naming.

    Will a second New Emperor of Destruction be released? No idea.
    Some kind of upgrade set? When has Takara ever released an upgrade set for the Masterpiece line? Very unlikely.

    Just my thoughts on the subject. No one should be surprised that besides a likely +toy version we may get one later with a coronation set under a new designation.

    Well, it certainly looks better than the original. I\'m. Not sure it looks appreciably better than Meteor does.

    That paint job is...quite gaudy, isn't it? Looks pretty excellent despite that.

    And I literally don't want a cartoon figure since that's boring as hell. The cartoon animation blows to be honest.

    Now that I've seen the full bot, I can say that this is overall what I pictured this thing looking like. It isn't frumpy like the cartoon model (which may be why I actually am unsure as to if I prefer the NA seekers, or the MS seekers).

    This is more lively and expressive than MP-03/11. Itching to see more.

    I find it interesting that they seem to have gone with the lighter blue of the movie, rather than the darker blue of his standard animation model. Kind of the opposite to how they did shockwave, where the movie purple was the exclusive version.

    I waited too long on Maketoys, and this makes me glad I did. Looks outstanding in my opinion, and gives me plenty of reason to sell off my 2.0 figures. Luckily I only had 4 of them (3 of them being U.S. releases; only my Starscream was Takara)...looking forward to whole set of v3, if the figure is as solid as these photos.

    Because my opinion can be stated on a forum I am a member of where I can critique anything that is shared, to put it very basically.
    You're question suggests you are very sensitive to criticism of something you enjoy, making you seem immature to me, and making me wonder why you are on a forum where you could be subjected to this.
    Anyway. Carry on. I usually say my piece and leave. Come after me and I will respond in kind. Everyone should be allowed to provide their opinion here. Oppose that and you are the enemy.
