    I actually don't have any dioramas! No layout either. However, I think I will see if UW Devvy can hold an HO scale car now. Bumble was the one I was referring too on the feet.

    Back on topic... I have a few more MP-11s to repaint... I'll try to remember to get a parts count so I can do something other than stir the pot:D

    Too bad. Dev doing the hurtin' on train cabs would be awesome and a perfect prologue to the rumored Raiden release.

    I do hope Ss Next can fix or improve on all the previous negatives. One pet peeve for me is how the shoulders are so far from his head. At least Ss Earthrise Dx has it parallel to the head. Hopefully, it won't hurt the wallet toooooooooooooo much too!:lolol

    My estimate as well.

    MP-11 Starscream didn't really cost that much when he was released (I paid 120 euro, so that's about $ 130) and TC and SW were only as expensive as they were because they were Hasbro Asia (not TT). This new one will be more complex but likely not at the same level as Megatron or OP3

    But honestly, I think seekers are always too expensive. Granted, not everybody buys all three (or six), but TC and SW have no development or mould costs and therefor should not cost the same as Starscream: the moulds already exist for Starscream and no design costs because you know what colours they should be. So all there is is material costs and factory time. No development costs, they already did that with Starscream. Make Starscream what he should costs and expensive to pay for all made costs, and release TC and SW as cheap as possible to lure people in getting all three.

    Was hoping for a grey testshot at least. This probably isnt coming for another year if Prime is anything to go by :(

    Eh, Prime was just his chest at first. This is half a robot, they may not have wanted what's just happened, getting leaked before they wanted. I do hope he gets released the first quarter though.

    Some very obvious improvements to the body proportions and cartoon accuracy details!

    That drawing definitely shows the new head sculpt when compared against the MP-44 accessory!

    Hopefully it's an easily swappable head sculpt, cos I'll definitely use the smirk of the MP-44 sculpt!

    I like the fact that they're admitting that this is the proper 2.0 since MP-11 could've, and should've been, classified as a renewal. Hope we see a prototype soon.

    Hold on tight and be patient guys. That looks like just the cover.

    Surely there’ll be more goodies inside the magazine.

    Agreed. The text alludes to there being more inside. It says:
    MP Starscream
    Ver. 2.0 document reveal
    Exclusive reveal!!

    I bet this is just the teaser.
    Also, we already have a blacked out version of the actual figure, so this definitely won't be the same slow-drip development as MP-44.
