I like how the canopy is "complete" in robot-mode. The cleaner legs and flatter back. The articulation looks awesome.

A little surprising that they didn't make the air intakes bend forward in robot-mode like MP-11 and the cartoon.

Anyone else think that the screaming face looks better than the neutral face?

I think today's Takara could do better than HM & MP-11 but I'm happy enough with the recent reissue.

This dude looks amazing, and an infinite improvement over the Takara version.

I'm seeing a couple things I don't like....

His crotch looks like he's on automatic thrust forward. I know its a style these days, but that ain't how he looked in the G1 toon. I hope he can stand.... y'know, normally.

His jet mode doesn't look all that sleek. I wanna see some undercarraige shots.

And seriously? Butt flap? :???:

I need to see prices.... but I might be getting these. They won't be replacing my MP's in any way, but I don't think my love of Seekers will let me ignore these 8-}

I can't enable. I'm too wishy washy lately. I mean, I went from wanting to buy that Chaos on Velocitron set to wanting to pick up MPM3 Bumblebert. I have no clue what I'll end up with.

It's mpm-3 bumblebee. Youll have more fun with Bee. At least I would, judging from yje reviews. If mpm-4 is anything to go off he will be good.

While I can appreciate the tail fin kibble improvments, that painted cockpit with the ugly lines is a total fail. Also the head looks kinda small in some of the pics.

God help, I'm totally on board for this now #-o

Im out

$120

News Credits: 25 · by **Ironhidensh** » Sat Aug 19, 2017 9:37 am

You weren't really expecting a lower price, were you?

News Credits: 191 · by **Kurona** » Sat Aug 19, 2017 9:38 am

Still surprisingly turns out cheaper than the official MP.

News Credits: 25 · by **Ironhidensh** » Sat Aug 19, 2017 9:43 am

Well, the official seekers have a ridiculous price. It's the only reason I haven't got more than Starscream. Every time I go to hit "complete order" on any of them, I find myself unable to justify the price, and back out.

Nyet Einstein!

MP Starscream re-issue with the coronation gear cost me Y 9770. Around US$ 90.00. Including shipping it cost me Y 12230 around US$ 118.00.So Just as cheap if not cheaper than the 3rd party.

So is the price you are quoting for Meteo the unit or does that include shipping? Iirc some OCD staff/poster ( I can't tell the difference anymore) gave me flack of spreading false information when I just mentioned that Takara Dinoser was hopefully cheaper compared to their advertisements.

Is the price accurate or false advertisement as in being priced lower because it does not include sales tax and all that jazz? :roll:

Inaccurate.The official was cheaper. I have the PDF receipts from amiami. Official still cheaper.

It should be cheaper becuase of the holllw wings.

With the wings like that its not worth 120 and they've never comfirmed thundercracker and the coneheads coming either.

Ill wait for kfc/xtb or fanstoys to do it
