Jet modes a lil chunky, but that robot mode blows the old leader starscream out of the water! I’d buy this and an rotf repaint!

 

I am whelmed.

 

11 inch, so about 28 cm? Quite suitable for mpm-4 and mpm-8

 

Just got this email:

That last paragraph lmao

 

The same sources that said MPM Starscream was coming 2020 said Ratchet was coming in 2020 as well. But the most recent leak only said MPM Starscream is releasing September 2020, no info about ratchet   But keep your chin up, he should be very close by, either late this year or early next year

 

With that price, should I wait till it goes on sale?

 

Target? Thats new i still hope online stores has them too

 

Still better than the actual movie

 

Jesus Christ 63 steps, now we're really gettin that premium shit aren't we. And $10 more expensive than mpm 4 when it first came out with this amazing articulation and sculpt, Damn we are blessed. Now I really wanna see a new mpm optimus from them, cause this just keeps getting better and better.

 

is it just me or does every attempt at movie Starscream by hasbro/takara in the past few years look the same

 

Haha and some of were worried he'd be $200

This is a side topic, but the new MP Bumblebee is like $120 and it's the size of a deluxe, while this guy is bigger than a leader and is $150, why are the mainline MP's so expensive?

They're all trying to replicate the look of the same character so they're bound to have really similar proportions and detailing. The MPM can only be so much better than already great looking figures

 

Says $149.99 in the post of mine you quoted.

 

Meaning if I should wait for that price (149.990 to go lower. Also I'm from Canada, so it will be more than 149.99 in Canadian.

 

Takara price gouging, they know people will pay out of their asses even for a sub par product, aka mp bumblebee 2.0. TBH I don't even think they were trying with that figure, but that's neither here nor there

 

Robot is pretty Damn good, and given that’s how I’ll be displaying him, that’s what matters most.
However, a lot of people straight after the reveal said this was amazing, let’s be real here people, alt mode is a standard ‘robot-under-a-jet’ that looks horrid.
Best overall representation we’re going to get? Yeah, probably, doesn’t mean it isn’t disappointing.

 

All things considered, I think it's amazing! I've been without a Starscream for 2 years now, so im salavating for this haha

 

I am hoping for an improved version from 3P latter. A blend of the best features of this figure and the leader class is my ideal MPM Starscream.

 

Thanks but no thanks - I\'m good with my Studio Series Starscream.

 

As a Redcard holder I’m very excited about this guy being at Target! He looks great, I’m still feeling really good about my decision to go all-in on MPM.
