Whats the difference between the US MP Screamer and Takaras release of the US Screamer (not the original one)? I know its just paint apps, but in what aspect? also, on the takara version, does it lack the "for safety reasons" changes?

 

there are no paint app differences between those two. Only thing is the pointed part of the rear vertical tailfins is a little bit longer on the Tommy one, and I was thinking there was one other difference that was just as meaningless really.

 

This has been asked a zillion times (give or take a few). In fact YOU already started a thread that has your questions answered: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/228956-mp-starscream.html

What the heck?

Here is an older thread about it: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans...een-mp-walmart-starscream-vs-jap-version.html

 

are there any pictures of them both side by side? i wanna see the difference in the alledged "weathering effect".

and are the missle pods under his chest side pieces painted in the takara version?

 

The weathering effect difference is BS! They are the same minus the pointy tailfins.
