    I’ve had a few spring loaded missiles go missing in a long-term basis as well...I’m sort of glad they’re uncommon these days!

    Don't get me started on G1 Encore20A! His fist just launched and it took me almost a year to find it. So its a mix bag with spring launchers.

    I don't know why they persist with that nosecone radar gimmick. When it was MP 1.0 aesthetics, I guess, but why still in the 3.0 era?

    Might as well have it if it doesn't interfere with anything. The nosecone opening is actually used in the transformation this time. There isn't space for it to stay in the same place it's in in jet mode, plus now it doesn't stick out on the robot mode back.

    I would've preferred they ditched the radar gimmick and made the nosecones swappable so we could get the AKOM/toy-accurate look too.

    Nope, 3.0.

    1.0: realistic one-offs (1 to 9)
    2.0: rescaled Hasui hybrids (10 to ~31)
    3.0: double priced heavily painted toon stuff (~32 to present)

    I'm just waiting for the day when we can get panel parts to replicate as many animation errors to our hearts content.
    2.0

    1.0: realistic one-offs
    1.5: retooled Hasui hybrid
    2.0: double priced heavily painted toon stuff

    Takara bases their version numberings on whether or not it's a new mold. So since MP-11 was a retool it's called 1.5. Same on if MP-10 was a retool of MP-1 MP-44 would be called 2.0.
    May be 3rd version of Starscream, but it's his 2nd original mold.

    You and @franpincho missed where I said era and not mold. This is Starscream 2.0 in Masterpiece era 3.0. The realistic radar doesn't really fit with blue windshields, missing mirrors/lights, painted over automaker badges, etc and they never really used it in the cartoon either. It's not really that interesting a gimmick, let alone interesting enough to carry over to a completely new tooling. Somebody on the design team must like it or something.

    Words mean things. And the meaning of "everybody wants" certainly isn't "I, franpincho, want." Try to remember that, especially when condescending, Sport.

    No reasonable shipping to Russia from Japan, so where is the cheapest place I can get this release (shipping out from China, probably)?

    Best month ever! (my Bday).

    Getting to be 40 with one of the most significant characters in TF history is going to be amazing!
