Nissan Sentai Datsunger!

Also, bit of trivia about the character this toy represents. He's a different person from G1 Bluestreak, suspected of having come from the Diaclone universe.

I didn't realize until I transformed MP-18S Bluestreak that he has Prowl's robot mode parts to make him look more like the G1 toy.

I'm a fan. I'd rather have a Prowl redeco than a 3rd version of Bluestreak.

I have him on order, and he looks great. My only issue is the Autobot symbol isn't a sticker, so It'll be slightly awkward to display him with Tigertrack or any other future Diaclone MPs.

I knew the head was Prowl's, but what else? The pelvis? Any others? I don't have Prowl.

The pelvis and the head are Prowl's, the car roof is Bluestreak.

I updated the gallery to include several pictures of Bluestreak's coin.

The latest offering from the Seibertron.com gallery machine that is site owner Seibertron is also the latest offering from Hasbro in their Transformers Masterpiece line: MP-07 Starscream!

The figure is a redeco of the original Takara Tomy MP-11 release, and features a couple of tweaks, such as blue nosecone in jet mode, lighter shades of grey, slightly different Decepticon symbols and a stand that can be used for both the jet and robot mode. Click on any of the images below to compare the two toys, and take your time to admire the devious Decepticon lieutenant by following through to the galleries.

Thanks Cobotron! I think I prefer the Hasbro version, surprisingly. The lighter face paint, the blue nosecone, the lighter cockpit, and a few other things make it a winner to me. I like having the crown and other "King Starscream" accessories so I won't be parting with that version either. There are enough differences between the two to warrant an extra one, especially since it's much cheaper than the $200 I paid for the Takara Tomy version a few years ago.

Good to know. I never could bring myself to shell out that kinda loot for the Takara version.
I'm super pleased with this Starscream over previous Hasbro Seeker releases, that's for sure.

Congrats.

Super stoked for mine to arrive. It will be my first hands on with this mold.

Another awesome gallery Seibertron! They're my second favorite thing about this site (the first being all the news & updates). :APPLAUSE:

So, the differences between the two Starscreams that I can see are: the jet nosecone color, the slight difference in shades of gray & red plastics (Hasbro's red looks paler & the jet canopy is a deeper yellow on Takara's), and the Takara head looks painted gloss-black while Hasbro's is molded in semi-matte/satin dark charcoal.

I just got the TRU Starscream and he's great; the joints are tighter than my TRU MP Thundercracker's as well. I wonder if MP Skywarp will get yet another Hasbro release in this mold, but I think I'm done collecting the Seeker mold.

I'm really looking forward to MP Shockwave, Hot Rod, and I still hold out hope for Galvatron, Megatron v2, and now Arcee too.

Keep it up with the great galleries, and thanks for making this a fun place!

The new Bluestreak looks great. I lalready have all 3 Datsun characters in Masterpiece form but this figure is making me want to buy Bluestreak again

Much Decepticon.

So Transformer.

Glad I held back on the Takara Starscream now. The Hasbro one looks better

Does anyone know if there are differences between Hasbro's Bluestreak and MP-18?

I don't know first hand, but have read many reports in here, that they are the same.

Here is a report from Seibertron's very own, ScottyP!

Powered Convoy (aka Randy) is really good at noting all the little detail differences between Hasbro and Takara MPs, so he might know.

Taking a break from all of the Starscream updates, we return to first new Masterpiece from Takara Tomy - the Optimus Prime that redefined the line, MP-10 - and the exclusive crossover deco that tried merging robotic sentient beings with... whatever the actual heck EVA Units are. The Seibertron.com gallery-maker is proud to present Transformers X Evangelion Masterpiece MP-10 Convoy Mode "EVA"!

By clicking on any of the images below, you can access the full gallery, featuring side-by-side comparisons with the original deco of both Convoy/Optimus and Spike/the NERV technician, as the new figures take on the purple, green, orange and red colouring of Unit 01 from (Rebuild of) Neon Genesis Evangelion 3.0 - You Can (Not) Redo. The set also includes a redecoed trailer and Roller, featuring the NERV symbol alongside the Autobot one, and all the accessories of the original!

This version of Convoy has been out almost a year. No one seems to have noticed Red Bumblebee in the little comic...

Break out the BAPE Prime and have an ugly contest ! Who would win the epic battle for the coveted title of "The Ugliest Prime" ???

Bumblebee isn't red in the image. It's just the lighting. Compared to the very red Optimus, Bee's colors are much brighter.

I don't have the figure, so I'll defer, but he lookS as red as Sideswipe...then again, maybe that's Tigertrack. :-D
