I might be alone in this but it sucks that there's no indication that you can swap the head and nosecone out for a G1 toy accurate (e.g. non-conehead) head. I loved the packaging art for Dirge et al back in G1 and I hated that that ridiculous-looking mis-transformation became so widespread.

I have the iGear cone heads but I admit, I'd be tempted by this if it were a widespread release.

Hmm, those pics use Hasbro's Starscream, which is a bit odd considering he wasnt a Hasbro Asia release but whatevs.

One thing does suck though and I only realized it now, Ramjet is not show accurate from the back in the least. For one, his conehead is only black on one side, which means that when you pose him, whenever you walk into a room to look at him, unless you are dead on his eyes, his bullet head will appear to be black and white. Thats because the back of his head is all white.

And thats obviously not show accurate at all, as this amazing gif shows:

You're not alone in this. I always displayed all my Decepticon jets with the proper transformation. What worked in the cartoon - does not work on the toy.

i always liked the conehead look it differentiated them from the standard seekers like they were a new version better than the old version and it gave them a more villainous look

I can't wait to get this! I still love the seeker mold, and this latest update looks great. There are enough changes that I feel like this is a must have for my masterpiece collection.

I agree, definitely! Although it's fairly minor, the conehead nonetheless makes a big difference to the robot mode. And since we've now got Acid Storm, Sunstorm, etc., it'd really be lazy to just do another bunch of identical-apart-from-the-painjob Seekers. Though that Dr. Arkeville/Hologram Pilot sure is turning into a robot equivalent of the village bicycle lol.

Fellow Seibertronians, thanks to a multitude of users and various sources, we now have even more images of the limited edition MP-11NR Ramjet! These new images show off Ramjet in both his modes as well as some comparisons to other masterpiece figures. The previous news can be found Here. . Ramjet is a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive in Japan, and is expected to be released to Japan today, with the Hasbro Asia release coming on March 31. Take another look at this guy, and let us know what you think of this guy in the comments section. And as always, stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your latest Transformers news and galleries!

I'm really liking that strange face sculpt. Here's hoping they do a Thrust or Dirge as a more regular, reasonably priced release. I would love to diversify my Con ranks with at least one cone head. Just can't stomach the price they are asking for this guy.

Indeed, and we also know why the back of the cone is white instead of black. I like this. I might have to try to get one.... :-?

The MP Seekers are just ugly to me. The only thing that makes them cool is scale. The proportions are just not quite right. The deluxe coneheads have a better transformation than this. How the hell they get it right and MP just botches it up. After owning both MP seekers I have never, ever been impressed with the look or feel. The seekers need another overhaul.

This is the first conehead, right? I wonder if the transformation is any different...

What is it with being an MP-11NR though?

Exclusive MPs not sold at mass retail don't get new numbers, regardless of retooling and/or being a different character.

Meh......maybe i'll wait for a thrust. I wish this mold would fix those terrible feet. That's the worst part of this mold to me and has kept me from buying any incarnation of it. It needs to be addressed IMO.

Technically, they aren't, its been pointed out in depth how and why they don't match the cartoon appearances, as for everything else, both sides are equally subjective, so your point doesn't hold much >:oP

Clash of opinions. Personally I think it looks pretty close, and am happy with how it looks. The feet change however I could side with.

Personally, I'm on your side, I think they did a great job, and getting any further into the nitty-gritty is overkill - but there are incongruities, so it is a fair point, and, yeah, the feet could be a lot more solid

Im not expecting perfection, but something is a bit elongated on the chest. A lot stems from the jet mode being too perfect for the F-15s. Now the deluxe seekers aren't some awesome feat, but at least the proportions are much better except for the arm blasters. Because of the perfection of the alt-mode for the MP Seekers, the feet suffer. The chest transformation still doesn't quite lock into place. The head sits too far up on the canopy, giving them that strange neck.

Now after looking at the pictures for MP-11NR, I notice how the faux head fits better on the canopy sans transformation, and that helps a whole lot. Some how the proportions seem to look a bit better with that head. If Ramjet looks this good then imagine how Thrust is going to fare. Right now Ramjet is looking better than Starscream in those pics. The MP cars are pretty close to their animation counterparts, yet the Decepticons are still getting the short end from the MP line. The only one that is just awesome is MP Soundwave.

As it stands, this is the best Takara has done with the seeker mold since MP-11 and its prior subsequent repaints.

There is something not quite right with this Ramjet but I cant put my finger on it. I'm tempted to collect the cone heads but Ramjet isn't a must have for me.

From what I've heard, the latest MP TRU exclusive Hasbro Starscream has a way better locking mechanism. Sounds like they tried to fix it. If I can find him at a ToysRUs soon, I'll probably get him to see if he is as bad as the previous ones, or if he has a fixed locking mechanism on the torso.

I had two Mp -7 starscreams and they both had great playability because of them fixing the chest. The red chest turbines are angled inward more to tightly snug around the cockpit.
I can tug on his arms and nothing comes apart.

Sounds like TMan978's copy. Sounds good. That's why I am wanting that one. I actually never got the MP Sunstorm version because I heard the locking mechanism was horrible on that, but now I want Starscream. =P~

I will second that the latest TRU Starscream is rock solid. I don't know if they changed something or if it was dumb luck, but he holds tight. And the only other MP-11 I have to compare him to is Hasbro Sunstorm, who is indeed a sloppy mess. Looks pretty cool though! ;)^

I will second that the latest TRU Starscream is rock solid. I don't know if they changed something or if it was dumb luck, but he holds tight. And the only other MP-11 I have to compare him to is Hasbro Sunstorm, who is indeed a sloppy mess. Looks pretty cool though!

I compared him too my mp -11 starscream.
And the difference seems to be the metal frame holding everything together.
It angles the chest turbines inward more

Ramjet's cockpit torso transforms very differently from the MP-3 and MP-11 versions of this mold:

I need to watch more Japanese reviews! That guy got me so excited! :lol:

It sure does. The chest and torso are the same but it looks like all the improvement might be in the cockpit. Looks like there are some extra tabs worked in there. The way the head flips back kind of fixes the odd shoulder proportions too.
He is looking really good.
Why does he have to be such a high priced exclusive? :BANG_HEAD:

Given Hasbro gave us Sunstorm, even after him being an exclusive - maybe we'll get lucky and Hasbro will give us their flavor of Ramjet?

This is my desperate hope.

I'm just not feeling this guy, don't know why. Compared to the cars the jets have always felt off, weird.

I'll stick with my Classics versions. This mold looks great in Jet mode but isn't my jam in bot mode. So much that i dislike about it. What a shame they couldn't be sorted out with the coneheads.

Anyone else got this guy?

Mine arrived over the weekend and I'm struggling to get the shoulders tabbed in correctly in jet mode, which makes his Alt mode redundant.

I watched Optibotimus's review and he suggested that the shoulders were miss-assembled. However he was still able to get his shoulders tabbed in with a little force, I'm not even able to do that.

Anyone else having this issue, or is it just my figure?

Everyone has this issue, it is a production wide problem. Suppsoedly, Takara is working on getting replacement parts. BBTS is sending their Ramjets to customers this week so be ready to be far less alone. You should contact the company you purchased him from asap.

These shoulders you all speak of is disconcerting....

It's probably been discussed already, but anyone else surprised about the lack of a collector coin? :-?
