So beast! He has ankle rockers and toe articulation too? Masterpiece is the most befitting title! The only thing I'm not into is the old-school robot look. I prefer the IDW version of Starsaber. But who cares? This is perfection!

I don't want to sound rude, but could you use less emoticons, please? Every post I've seen of yours has a ton of them, and it's getting a bit annoying. Especially when the comment itself is just "THIS IS AWESOME!!!1!" or some variant of that phrase.

Then I guess just about every single Optimus Prime makes ya wanna puke too since they've also got red, white, blue, and yellow all over.

And I guess the American Flag makes ya wanna puke too.

wtf does prime have to do with this figure, im talking about star saber, and u take it to another figure completely
and wft does the american flag have to do with anything, i didnt even look at it that way, but instead u make it some like its some anti american thing, cuz i dont like the colors......wow!

they could have chosen sharper reds and yellows, but they chose crappy flat colors instead.

so im sorry my personal opinion on a figure doesnt meet your criteria, and i love how u took what i said and turned into some i hate american flag bs.........jeez, now u make me wanna puke :HEADHURTS:

i just made a personal opinon on the figure, and he took it to a whole other level.

what ive found on this threads, is u shouldnt give any opinions it seems, cuz if u do, some crazy over the top fan boy will rip on u for destorying his universe or dreams . I means seriously come on! if u cant state your opinions then wtf is the point. I stated why i didnt like the figure, cuz of the forarms and the color scheme. The all of a sudden he takes it some whole over level.
btw i live in canada or flag is red and white, i dont have a problem with that or the american flag.
what a joke!!!
were taking about star saber, keep ur mind on the topic next time and dont take it to childish levels.

Stating opinion is fine, but being precise is important.

Saying "this makes me want to puke" or "this is gross" makes you sound like a troll.

Why'd you just not say that to Sabr face straight on that he is over the top? Btw, those colors are the same as the original G1 figure. In fact, the original is more disproportional than the MP. The arms are indeed atrocious and he looked stumpy (wish I own that stumpy figure though)

Also, as an analogy, this isn't an anti-American thing as Star Saber's colors, red, whit and blue denotes the good guy theme as is the red white and blue of the USA. No one seems to barf at those colors. >:oP Would you have wanted him to have the chrome colors like that of 30th Jetfire's colors or the "metal finish" similar to MG Gundams? That would make him prone to chipping.

Well like with Anita Sarkeesian's opinion on video games, nobody friggin cares. Especially this late in the game after the figure is about ready to ship out very soon.

Constantly whining about it isn't going to change that so why don't you take your soapbox and leave for the love of Primus.

You keep being "that guy" in these forums and people will naturally chew you out for it cause you come off as a whiny entitled little snot that people outside and inside the fandom are disgusted by.

if ppl think im a whiny snot etc, then well they need to check themselves, cuz there is something to be said on those ppl too.

im done with stating personal opinions, cuz ppl here think they are entilted to rip u for them, and thats something im disgusted by as a person.

Not that soon, he's still five months away in March. It's a little strange that he's been getting so many shots, but they could be doing all of these with Ultra Magnus which comes out next month. I know what I want to see is how Ultra Magnus and Star Saber compare, they should be pretty close in size.

Well considering the clusterf**k of releases coming left and right for me, it sure will pass by rather quick right after I am done with a convention my friend and I are attending.

nobody likes complainers. but worse than that, people complaining and giving no insight as to why theyre complaining. its easy to argue against something thats as juvenile as "that sucks barf lol" because we can easily list the myriad of positives. you want to be taken seriously? be constructive and respectful. i say i dislike things all the time, but i do it without insulting the product or those who enjoy it.

but i dont take it to extremes like most of you, and to call me an easy target cuz i dont like this mp, hahahah that proves to me that u guys are way to sensitive over other ppl opinons. and thats the sad part.

yea right dude, u can say whatever u want. " i made sarcastic marks etc" bs, u really felt like that otherwise u would have not went outta ur way to make those comments.

whatever, i guess u think u are some kinda god of transfomers cuz u make a billion posts.

fact is i pissed u off cuz i dont agree with your godly opinion on this guy. and instead of saying, hey man why dont u like that, which i was hoping ppl would get into after my comments, boy was i wrong, and i was wrong cuz i came off like a troll, but that wasnt my intent, i just made a fast comment and moved on.

and yea maybe i should have not made the puke comment only, i should have included the reason, like i did after. but u still took it to another level of nonsense.

Oh brother.

FWIW, I didn't choose this title. It's the forum's ranking system for users with post counts over 10000. I started as a Mini-Con and worked my way up just like everyone else.

Psycho Warrior, The Happy Locust, Shadowman, Tammuz, Predaprince, Tigertrack, Auto Bot, Rodimus Prime, Darth Bombshell, Mkall, JelZe GoldRabbit, Dead Metal, Casual Matt, Arc the ZAKO, 1337W422102, Blurrz, Raymond T., Redimus GTS, i_amtrunks, steve2275, Maximus Prime, Abrogate, and Chosen all hold this same title as myself, and many of them have far more posts than I could ever hope to have.

This is how the post count ranking system works for us ordinary users:
Mini-Con 0
Micromaster 50
Minibot 100
Fuzor 200
Vehicon 300
Combiner 400
Headmaster Junior 500
Targetmaster 600
Pretender 700
Transmetal Warrior 800
Gestalt Team Leader 900
Headmaster 1000
Brainmaster 1250
Godmaster 1500
Gestalt 2000
City Commander 3000
Faction Commander 4000
Guardian Of Seibertron 5000
Matrix Keeper 7500
God Of Transformers 10000

I couldn't change it even if I wanted to, and frankly, sometimes I wish I could. Who am I to be called a god?

aight, i got you man.

listen, let me be the first to say, sorry for busting balls. I still do not like this guy, but that may change, but right not.

my problem isnt really with you, my problem is that it seems that ppl cant handle personal opinons at times.
Its hard to tell cuz its on the internet, but i wasnt dissing anyone that liked this guy, i just threw in my 2 cents and that was it. Now i can understand that ppl took that as me being a troll, but trust me ive been collecting for 20 damn years, im not troll, i just know what i like and what i dont! simple as that.

i think in the near future ill def state a more relaxed opinion, cuz its really true, Tf fans are a lil combative when it comes to ppl dissing or not liking something, esp in regards to me not like the bay movies at all lol, but thats a different story.

so Sabrblade, i have no real beef with u, other then the fact i dont like what im seeing with this guy, but in the future maybe we both should be a lil more cool headed?

anyways if u want to see a change in the way ppl treat u, then u have to be the change lol. thats what ill keep in mind the next time i make a post lol

until then, till all are one......... :BOT: :CON:

I don't like Star Saber. I hate the look of the toy. In fact, I've disliked nearly every exclusive g1 Japanese only toy that was produced. I get why people don't like this. He looks a little bit like a gundam. Not really, but enough of one.

I know the takara-fans are really pleased with this, but to me this is another misuse of resources. That's just my opinion though. To me it is annoying that time and energy is being devoted to video console transformers, ho-hum masterpieces, and other wastes of time instead of true and unique development of the brand.

They are good at painting the figures and the masterpieces are really wonderful, but I just feel that the efforts get misdirected.

I mean, this guy should see a masterpiece figure...but should it have been right now when I would have liked to have seen another character?

That's my two cents.

To be fair, although I kind of hate to admit it after reading through your tirade, I agree with you on the Popeye forearms and the deco could be a shade or two brighter in spots. However, what Sabreblade said in comment to your post was pretty darn close to what popped into my head after reading what little you had to say, without further explaining yourself and stance more clearly.
One neat benefit of the internet, and computers in general, is you can type something and save it, sit and think, and even reread and analyze what you have to say before deciding you just gotta post that on the webs forever for all to see and tear apart as they see fit.

Well, it's only happening now because of a poll. Had he not won, any other winner would have still been someone who came years after all the early G1 dudes who are currently getting MPs. Regardless of this MP being Star Saber, it was gonna be a special case figure outside of the norm no matter who would have won.

He got green lighted because of a Japanese Tomy fan poll he won hands down. And the Japanese fans vote not only with their cursors but also with their wallets unlike the noisy Western fans.

The Japanese fans get first dibs. So the product is targeted for them. I rarely hear Japanes fans bellyache at the cost of their products sold for them. Western fans are the most noisy in their opinions when it comes to price.

To the other poster, about Star Saber's "Pope-Eye" arms, he's V-Star component is designed that way. As an armchair engineer/designer, "How" would you implement a more proportional arm then without affecting the entire leg "booster" part of the set?

This is speculation on my part but, well Satr Saber more or less is a fan wank of the original designer to the RX-78 GUNDAM"s G-booster.........only this one is waaaaaay cooler.

I know, I remember reading about it. That's the problem. It was going to be special case figure outside of the norm". I mean, that's cool...but I still think it is a strange jump to do. Especially when I'd like to see some other thing first. Got no problem with a post season 3 character, there are just some I'd like to see first, and it seems like there is a very eclectic plan. I mean, maybe after we get the transforming famicon and the bears that turn into bears (robot bears) we'll get some more focus on MPs.

I know people have their own projects and stuff... but I'd prefer a focus on mainline toys and masterpieces. I could do without all the weird stuff like transforming ballcaps.

Well...at least for a while ;)
