A member from Actoys got his hand and posted some new out of the package images of the Walmart Exclusive Hasbro Version Masterpiece Skywarp.
The package is similar to Hasbro Version G1 deco Starscream.
There are also slight differences in this Hasbro Version MP Skywarp compare to Takara version in terms of deco to match closer to Skywarp G1 cartoon incarnation.

Looks good. Do we have a release date yet?

I really have no idea if I like this better than the Takara MP Skywarp.

I think Takara's version looks nicer so far.

Yellow eyes? Non-upside-down insignias? Toy-accurate stripes instead of show-accurate ones?

I may sound nitpicky, but why couldn't they just do what they did with Screamer and go for the full show look?

I don't think these pics do him justice.. too much flash blotching out the detail and how the paint apps are applied...

But I have to say, it looks like the G-1 scheme..

I just need to see some good "glamour shots" showcasing him.. much in the same way they have done with the Buster Prime..

I already have the takara version and his quality is top notch! its gona be hard for hasbro to come close. I want this version just to display in jet mode though im sure he'll be just as impossible to find as the walmart screamer was. :-x

Not pro photography but I'm liking it. I can't dislike a Skywarp. I'll have to look through our gallery here and see the points of differences.

Hasbro should also have colored the feet and tips of the afterburners purple to complete the toy look. I'll still pick this up, however.


I'm with you, though. I would have preferred a show accurate version. That can only mean a "Takara USA edition Skywarp" will be in the works ;)

This.

Don't like this version enough over my Takara one to own two.

I agree, this doesn't have much difference between the Takara version to warrant a second purchase. At least the first Walmart exclusive Starscream had a different paint job. :-?

There's no question I think the Takara version owns this one...the only question is do I pick this one up anyhow IF I actually see it on a Walmart shelf?

Looks great, aside from the yellow eyes (even if they are accurate). Whether I get this or the Takara one will come down to price, mostl likely.

I already own 2 Takara ones, both loose and boxed AFA graded. I'd probably pick this one up at retail just to get it graded.

hmm.... this MIGHT be a pass

It is unfortunate that it does not have the teeth grinding expression of the Takara version. That smirk alternate face only looks good on screamer.

Nice. I like the smirk better.

And also, yay for painted stripes.

It looks nice but I like my MP-6 better

Too bad this version doesn't have the super gloss paint

Takara is better... this one is still nice though

The first "they" (Hasbro) and the second "they" (people who managed to sneak out the toys) are different people.... Haha....

So can't blame "them"

Probably you can blame the third "they" (i.e. us here) that telling/showing u this. :grin:

wow. A lot of negative comments. I'm definitely getting this since it looks more g1 than paying $100 for a nearly all black Skywarp. Still can't wait till he comes out. A must get -as MP SS was the must get of last year.
Thought he had red eyes though? What color are the Takara SW's eyes?
Re: New Images of Walmart Exclusive Masterpiece Skywarp (987494)
Posted by Tekka on September 1st, 2009 @ 5:42am CDT
MP6 has red eyes. But the G1 toy had a yellow eyes sticker, so this fits in with that.

I hope this actually shows up in my area - SS never did.... :sad:
