    haha , spot on man. I wish AND OF COURSE Takara will release an update version of Starscream. Im fine with thundercracker and skywarp as MP-11 molds but Starscream ? please , update it please. Those feets and waist gave me cancer.
    That said , I ordered Yesmodel Thundercracker . THF Soundwave is coming too. Hopefully will have full Decep crew.

    I like Prime (MP10) still, aesthetically, but he was so articulate in the show and 90 degree elbows limit recreating that unlike Megatron here. Same goes for Tracks and Ironhide, and I believe Tracks was totally capable of it with a slight variation on the forearms. Even as recent as Shockwave giving his salute when turned a little from the side really needed extra forearm range.

    Ironhide though, and even my favorite, Magnus could have really come to life more with an extra elbow range. I get limits in design to achieve the end results though. None of this is really a complaint, just an observation, I love MP10, 22 and the rest.

    I've been waiting on a complete new Masterpiece Starscream. Back in the 80's, the only Transformers I remember having were Starscream, Bumblebee, and some of the tapes. The rest I had to play with what other kids brought with them. This one kid had what seemed like almost all of them.

    I hated the first Masterpiece Starscream. Stupid colors and stupid hip pieces, etc. It got better with their 2nd or 3rd version with the G1 colors and fixing things like the large hip pieces. But I still never really liked it.

    Just got Megatron from HLJ. Orange plug in the muzzle wasn't glued at all; in fell half way out in the packaging. The silencer though...that was a pain. Finally got it back using the only decent pliers I had, getting as firm a grip as possible, and slowly twisting it. Not much residue inside, all concentrated in two spots...can't get it all out, but I'm not worried about it. I haven't really done anything except look at him...just so impressed with the figure right out of the box.

    Also: I will say that I want a new seeker mold badly...they need to address the crappy feet, floppy mess of a torso, and get some more articulation in there all-around. But I want other Decepticons first. Blitzwing, Insecticons, Reflector, Constructicons...need more villains on my shelf.

    All this talk about a new Optimus Prime is making me anxious. I just bought my first Masterpiece Prime :'D. If they announce it in the next 2 to 3 years fine. If they announce it this year for next year, not so fine haha! I totally get that the update is needed for the seeker mold as well. Wow. Look what you have done Megatron. Look what you have done.

    They just re-released MP-10 again, so it will probably be a while, I would think.

    As a happy Apollyon I didn't think I needed this.

    At any rate, who currently has the best price for this to California?

    I noticed on one of Megatron's face plates has a paint chip on it.

    Can anyone recommend a paint code or color I can use to touch this up?

    Just my luck. Shipped my pile of loot from tfs last week with megatron. Box arrived today and everything except my megatron was inside eventhough he was marked on my packing list. Ughh. Hopefully they can get this fixed quick and ship it out fast.

    Adult acne is a bitch.

    On a serious note, @Phamduc had something similar happen to his and posted a mix that matched really well.

    Really? Jesus... Maybe they will release him soon then... Maybe they're re-releasing as a last minute cash grab before the new version drops.

    My MP-36 from Toy Dojo said it was delivered today... No packages on my doorstep... I really hope it's just a mistake and it gets here tomorrow... I'm gonna freak out!

    I hope it works out for you. I know the feeling of delivery day and what that does to a person. When my mp 36 was coming I was really nervous all day.
