Posted by LOST Cybertronian Apr 20, 2015 at 6:59pm CDT 30,079 views
Our Seibertron.com gallery entry for today is none other than MP-24 Star Saber. Star Saber hails from the Victory portion of the Transformers Universe. Masterpiece Star Saber was the winner of the Takara Tomy Masterpiece Fans Choice poll back in 2013. Star Saber is a Brainmaster whose smallest robot form is the Brain of Courage who links with a Transtector to become Saber. Saber then combines with the V-Star to become Star Saber.

I just got my own SS last week. My advice to anyone even slightly interested: buy two.

Did you break something? I have discovered an issue with the panel on his back and posted a warning in the MP-24 thread.

No! I just meant its awesome. So buy two. Or six ;)

Though now that you mentioned it, I missed that warning and discovered it for myself. Luckily all it caused was a stress mark, no breaks! #-o

I'm not sure if this was already thought of and I really didn't bother to check. :P

So with some of the flaws present with this Star Saber is it highly likely we will see a second run of this MP? With that possibly addressing some of it's current flaws. :-? :VEHI:

A second run of Star Saber, even though he still appears to be in stock at most places. But flaw fixing? Doubt that'll happen.

Other than him not being one of my favorite masterpieces surpisingly, what are some of the flaws with the figure? I guess I'm out of the loop.

Other than the one backpack issue (which is pretty minor IMO) I have no issues. It's a damn solid figure and I haven't heard many complaints. Even the best figures out there have some kind of flaw.

I thank Takara for putting this large, expensive Masterpiece out. I have absolutely no clue interest in the character but for the 'Saber' middle bot and its potential repaint possibilities?

Does anyone think Takara could, or would even dare to repaint just Saber, the Voyager sized jet..? :-?

Loved seeing pics of him with Wheeljack as a nice nod to the episodes Wheeljack appeared in.

Though, I'm a little saddened to see no pics of him in his super mode without the Star Saber helmet on, as he would occasionally walk around in the show in his super mode with his Saber head exposed like so:

It looks ridiculous because the head is so tiny on Saber.

Being a stupid human who just can't get no satisfaction, wish Tomy will also release a Jean/Daigoro figure or Illumina2 or Jean and Illumina. This figure is so near anime accurate that it screams for a "Cub" to complement "Lonewolf".

The battle up feature looks better in the original version

Not a flaw but more on how to transform him properly. Trouble with not knowing Japanese I guess.Btw, among the many online reviewers, I found out that the "mini" sword hilt can be stored in the V-star (in the panel from which I mentioned the tendency to create a stress mark in not transformed carefully). I re-read the instruction manual and that feature was was never mentioned at all.

I heard the old Victory Leo works with MP Star Saber. I wonder if that's true

Nope. The clearance between the original Victory Leo parts are not compatible with the MP Star Saber

Yeah. I hear he can settle around and look combined, but nothing actually fits together.

Love this figure! Exactly why I love repaints like this :)

Suddenly, a new gallery update appears! Today's Masterpiece subject hails from the first series after Generation One, Generation 2: Bumblebee! While not as shiny and blinded out as his precursor was, this figure fits right in for the G2 enthusiast along with Masterpiece G2 Sideswipe. In place of a Witwicky in an Exosuit, he instead comes with a jet pack accessory. If you're still in the fence on this guy, why not take the opportunity to take a look through our gallery?

Looks great. It'd be cool if HLJ would ship mine.

I had two packages from them ... one shipped out by Monday last week. The other shipped out yesterday. Hopefully this is just a little blip. I liked it a lot better when something would arrive at HLJ Thursday, ship Friday and arrive at my house on Monday.
