    I think this figure is a great example of why I don't like the cartoon look they've moved to for masterpieces. The original Starscream looks so much better.

    @Rated X , like @Jarrod and @Liampope point out, your posts are largely incoherent but one thing that is plain as day is that you're salty af about MPs faithfully recreating G1 cartoon bot modes and the Netflix show faithfully recreating the Siege toys. I understand that's not what you want, but that's what we're getting and it's what a lot of fans want. Many fans, myself included, grew up on G1 always a bit confused by the disconnect between what I watched and loved every weekday on the TV and the toys I had who often looked very different, sometimes wildly so. A lot of us wished our toys looked just like the cartoon, and now after 30+ years we are finally getting that and we could not be happier. Regarding War for Cybertron, what struck me when I watched the Netflix show with my 7yo year old son was how excited he was that the TFs on screen looked exactly like his toys, gaps, peg holes and all! Made him love his figures even more, it really brought them to life, and I think it made him look at his toys and think that that's exactly the way they're supposed to look. I was happy for him but almost a bit jealous because that's the feeling I wanted as a kid! Thanks to figures like MP-52 we get that feeling at last! This is not just *a* Starscream we're getting, this is the Sunbow produced, Toei animated, Chris Latta voiced Starscream we grew up loving to hate every day after school!

    It's mainly the cartoon like colors for me, it's not awful here (though not great either) but Hound and Primes colors look terrible.

    Arcee was sold out 5 or 6 times on Amazon Japan weren't she?

    People still going on about whether they should look like the cartoon or not? It's been years. Like arguing about whether Dylan should have gone electric or not. Don't you ever get bored?

    Can't wait to find out which joints are ratcheted. Love that kind of stuff. Big part of the thrill of finally getting a figure in hand.

    Wondering if the horizontal stabilizers actually folds on a hinge in the middle or if they just swivel into the lower legs at an angle.

    Then it would probably look like what a lot of the early UK comics looked liked.
    This basically.
    I personally don't like the extreme G1 toon MPs, but I know if either Takara or a 3P made a extremely toon accurate Armada or Energon figures, I would eat that stuff up whether I bought it or not.
    So I'd say if you don't like how the MPs are now you could either wait till they change, get the old ones or look for 3rd party figures (that's what I'm doing for Ironhide/Ratchet), since there are many people who are just loving this stuff.

    That's one of the great things about this hobby, options.
