    He looks nice but I wish they would put the silver paint on instead of the molded grey plastic.

    YEa, I'm going back and forth on whether it's worth it to do the comparison video or not. There are definitely differences, but I dunno' if there are enough to justify the time to do it.

    And, thank you man.

    Sweet pics.

    At first I didn't get why you let the null be shot out of position. Yeah, that took me a minute to figure out.

    Please do, man. I can't even find a good picture of the two molds together, and it would be nice to get a detailed comparison. Especially showing off the color differences, as pictures don't tell the full story (lighting differences, different equipment etc)
    anyway, keep up the good work!

    great vid review and pics! makes me want this more!

    tip with the feet you can actually get them to sit flush with the surface that the figure is standing on without it looking odd just moving each foot a milometer or 2 outwards one side a tiny bit more than the other theres a tiny bit of swivel on the foot :wink:  , it looks good thats how i have my mp11 starscream standing

    Nice review man. Compared to the iGear's, which one do you prefer?

    One more thing, a comparison video would make it much easier for me to decide if I should get igear's Skywarp, since Takara supposedly isn't doing him. Would like to see comparisons with all the igear seekers, tbh :thumb 
    Okay, I'll shut up now.

    Very cool. I'll have to try that, and thanks!

    That's a good question... overall, I like IGear's better, but the bot mode of the MP-11 mold just kills it. The ONLY things I really don't like about the bot mode on this mold are the kibble at the bottom of the wings, and the lack of ability to swing the feet inwards and outwards. Other than that, man-oh-man is this robot mold great.

    Would a picture comparison suffice then?

    Just... comparisons :thumb 
    robot mode, that is. I'm not too bugged about any differences the alt modes would have. Differences/similarities in color, paint apps, articulation, general appearance, heads. etc.
    and a group shot with igear skywarp and screamer would be cool.

    Nice review and great pics as always.

    The figure itself is worth having, but I'm a little dissapointed that when they reworked his legs they didn't add any ankle articulation like pretty much every other MP. Even Grimlock has a little toe wiggle to make him look more dynamic, but Grimmy gets cut a little slack because he's just designed to have hulking feet. Anyways, there are a couple other quirks with the mold I would have liked to seen worked out, like his breast/chest raising when you raise his arm, and how the wings barely peg in so they end up just wiggling around in bot mode.

    The one thing I don't agree with you on the review is the points on the wings. Yes, they are kinda ugly, but nowhwere near as bad as the hip kibble from the previous mold in my opinion. That kibble really hindered the leg movement unless you popped it off.

    Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. And, thank you s well, Sai.

    As for the part I bolded: I believe you actually agreed with me, because I simply said that I don't like the way it looks. I didn't compare it to the hip kibble on the MP-3 mold, because to me, that mold is outdated and null-and-void (Once again, that is my PERSONAL opinion.).

    You definitely don't have to trade off the wing kibble for the old hip kibble, because with a simple mod., the IGear Seeker mold doesn't have either.

    Maybe I have to listen again but I thought you said you prefer the hip kibble from the MP-3 mold. Sorry about that.
