I have to say that this is probably the most fun I've had with transforming an MP in a while. MP Starscream is slwoly becoming one of my favorites.

I like it too. Its a bit fiddly with the wings but I do like a nice complex transformation and it is satisfying. The waist on your starscream is tighter than the one on your Thundercracker right?

I was actually silly wondering about this, I have noticed that Thundercrackers torso section doesn't like to lock down into his waist. It very easily slides upward. Is that what you're referring to?

Yes. That has been a problem with all the releases with the Hasbro Starscream being the first that fixed it.

That's really frustrating. Has there been any kind of solution for it?

None that I know. And even if there was, I dont like messing with my MPs that way in case I mess up.

Also, the 300$ Takara MP-11 Starscream have the problem too.

I got Titans Return Highbrow, but his neck connection is up too high, I think. When you turn the head, you can see the face of the Headmaster figure. I don't know if this is a common thing, or it's supposed to be like that, or if mine has a problem.

Mine is the same way.

Yeah, they are all like that, sorry Dagons. I hope you can still enjoy him though.

Oh yeah, the Insections were also marked down to $60 AUS.

we all know my opinion on that

Got my kit way back at 55$CAN. Pretty worth it, but some stickers are hard to apply. Even at 60$AUS, I think they are worth it. Dunno what your deluxes normally go for, but 20$ each G1 figure is a pretty good deal.

Deluxes go for $25 or $30 here. I didn't know they actually came with the stickers, I thought they didn't or already had them applied. It said nothing about them being included in the small print.

Every single G1 re-releases come with the sticker sheet. Sometime, the or is tampographed, along some new "SE" thing, but the original sticker sheet still come with it. And the eye sticker for the coneheads is still useless as ever. Still, having entire G1 squads for a decent price is awesome.

Almost picked her up the other day, but I decided to save my money for Mindwipe and Brainstorm.

[william-james88]

Nice! Let us know how you like her!

I like her quite a bit. The more I get of it, the more I'm really liking the new RiD line.
I also find this Windblade far superior to her Generations figure.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Windblade was $10 and the cassettes $7.50 per. Great day today

I'm digging the Frenzy figure

So this beauty came in today,



Truly amazing. So where is Sunstreaker at?! You can't have just one of the brothers. Just out of curiosity, what mold do people like more, Sideswipe or Prowl?

b..b...b.....but neither of them are Rumble/Frenzy

Nice Sideswipe by the way. Once they do him in Shattered glass colors, I'll grab him maybe

[william-james88]

Sideswipe all the way. I am not a fan of the prowl feet even if they are show accurate, and I the transformation back to vehicle isn't as fun. Plus sideswipe deals with the backpack better, if you would even call it that.

And D-max, I think it's safe to say that your deals ate as good as the Canadian ones. Was that at toysrus? It might be worth newsing if its widespread, leaving it up to you.

And ironhidensh, which warriors from RID don't you have yet? I too am really fond of the line. Solid designs and fun transformations are all I need to keep me happy and it delivers on that front while being quite original.

You put Bluestreak at #1 in the MP list though...

WJ. You. Are. Insane.
With all due respect

Prowls feet are my favorite part! They look like the cartoon AND he is hella posable!

I'm so surprised by his car feet that with them he still has ankle tilt!

That's a tough call because both are great, but in slightly different ways. I have the G2 Rambro Sideswipe, but I'm gonna have to give it to Prowl. Like Shaj and MRM said, them feet really are amazing and I feel Prowl's back bits tuck away a little tidier. Don't get me started on Prowl's door wings, arm articulation and that racked up hood chest. I feel that Prowl is just a little bit better in bot mode, but damn nothing is sexier than a bright red Countach!

As usual the correct answer is both. I normally wouldn't double dip on MP molds, but I'd grab a G1 SS in a heartbeat of the price was right. The KOs are real tempting for doubledipping.
