This will be a fun figure. I am still on the fence with the head size. It seems 10-15% larger than his body proportion wise. Its kind of the opposite effect from Make Toys Scarecrow. I dont care that it's screen accurate. He just looks like a big head. I am hoping its not so obvious in hand.

 

Awww, go easy on ol' MP03. The little guy did pay his dues...

...1st indication of MP as a line and not just a Prime figure...
...1st MP of the current scale (OG Op and Meg too big, Grimlock is too small, OG Rodimus/Hot Rod fits both scales)...
...Only MP seeker model that attempts the realistic jet mode in both form and paint schemes...
...Only MP seeker mold to host Ghost SC...
...Only seeker mold with changeable faces (up til now)...
...Last MP model with mechanical pistons in the knees and elbows (later transferred to MP11)...
...most copied MP mold to date (when including iGear "modded" seekers and the MP11 4th party)...
...highest price hike of all MP, at least percentage wise (I think at least  , not as good at math as I use to be)...

With that being said, this dated f**k is getting replaced immediately. I gotta give the "OG Bobbie Johnson" his props, though.

 

Whoever does a good one and a wire cape combo gets my money. Hanging on to my MP-11 until there is a 3rd party coronation kit as I doubt I'll be able to secure the TT one in the states.

 

MP-11 was never called V2 by TakaraTomy anywhere, so I have no qualms calling this new guy V2.0.

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what it says on the box. We're getting an awesome new toy!

Just hoping that the chest color looks better in hand. I'm betting it's similar to the Arcee situation.

 

"Hey Starscream, show me your t--missiles!"

 

Thank you for sharing. I have never of heard of this site but I’m willing to give it a shot, especially at that price.

 

They are local to where I am located in Washington and I've had good experiences before, I'm giving it a shot, we'll see what happens ☺️

 

I think that MP-03 had a more interesting aesthetic direction, and certainly a unique one, but this looks to be a decent recreation of the cartoon design.

Starscream looks great. Full of character. Still at his price I am skipping... but I will be getting Skywarp.

 

1. Paraphrasing ".....the operation is unfortunately successful...."

2. Can't recall the scene

3. Megatron: "Die Autobots!" Instruments of Destruction plays mayhem and termination...........

 

2. Is from the core, where Starscream was explaining to Megatron that putting a giant drill through the earth may destroy the planet. (I don't recall him being nearly as happy explaining it either  ).

 

Thanks! 

 

Which is funny because Starscream had no issues with wanting to blow up the Earth and everything on it to collect the energy it would release in “Countdown to Extinction”.  

 

No problems my dude!  

*Rule number 2 of being Starscream* It's never a problem UNLESS Megatron does it.  

 

Doesn't look like he's going to be easy to chip the paint, altho I might have to wait until reviews pop up and stuff to be the judge of that.

 

That off orangey grey cockpit is becoming very consistent with these PR photos... a little concerning. I would wish they would at least change the lighting to convince me otherwise  

 

I would like to get one.

 

The cranium itself looks fine to me.

It’s the JAW that gets me.

Starscream never had that big of a broad, chiseled jaw & chin in the show. He was ALWAYS kind of… Honestly downright sexless looking in the cartoon. Certainly no huge, masculine jaw.

Putting that on Starscream feels as weird as putting that on Arcee. Not “bad”, but definitely out of place.

 

Funny I always assumed the smirk face was for “how it pains me to do this” From the movie. It’s like 1:1
