Hey and Acidstorm can be smoking buddies!

That smoke effect and back drop made me envision him as a Con assassin from Sin City.
I imagined Exhuast's first person narrative in Marv's voice about tracking a mark through a dirty, filthy cybertronian slum filled with scum and whore bots. Then he turns on the Immobilizer and everything becomes black and white Sin City style and proceeds to splatter some bot heads. After all is said and done, he disappears into the smoke with an evil laugh. Then Nightbeat shows up on the murder scene in a fedora and trench coat... a deadly game of cat and mouse begins

Did he get blasted, or is he just blazed?

Cool pictures. The immobolizer is a cool accessory too. I'm also glad I was able to get in on this figure. It was a fun day getting Exhaust and Star Saber in the mail...
Lovin' masterpieces. Now I still have to put together my classics version of Exhaust (with Auto Assembly exclusive add-ons and stickers from a few years back).
Nice effects Ryan.

They are "unlicensed" sticker sets from China that are extremely official looking stickers, complete with Hasbro packaging and all. If they are official Hasbro Asia stickers, please let me know ... but last I was told they are not official.

This figure has quite the sorted history, what with legal issues and rumors galore of cancellations.
I think you mean "sordid history", not sorted. No biggie, just now you know.
Hopefully whoever wants Exhaust is able to get one, best of luck to everyone, and a big f you to Phillip Morris.

Pretty sure if I was smoking out like that, I too would be immobile

Also, does anyone know how to fix the spring that pushes the tab up to fill the slot for his weapon in alt mode? Mine kind of sinks down when I position his hood to slot in and doesnt come back up.
I'd like to know how to fix this as well. Mine has the same problem, though it looks like it's all there so I'm not sure why it works on Wheeljack but not on Exhaust.

It's a shame Hasbro Asia cancelled the MP-23 Exhaust coin because I was really looking forward to adding that to the collection!

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!

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.

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 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.Seibertron wrote:Other than him not being one of my favorite masterpieces surpisingly, what are some of the flaws with the figure?

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..?

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.

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.fenrir72 wrote:Nope.

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.

I like seeing him next to the OG G2, G-wiz!
Tracking shows he has cleared customs in NY. Hoping he's here by the end of the week, 'cause I'm jonesing for some new bot action.
