Has a petition worked for anything ever? Just curious.

No, not when others have tried... but I could be the first. :grin:

and still wind up with a non-show accurate figure that actually has more QC issues than the takara version...

Hasbro would have to modify MP Starscream a lot more then they did MP Prime.

wait what? so MP Prime wasn't modified enough? I think he's the perfect figure... and to transform a jet into a robot and back again in toy form is no small feat.

Actually Star Trek Fans got NASA to name the shuttle Enterprise with a massive write in campaign. They also managed to get the original series to run a third season with a similar tactic. But your talking about a million fans all organizing and writing letters to one company. This is massively more powerful than a petition. Even one with millions of signatures.

Still, I'll sign it.

Signed and would love to see a show accurate repaint of MP Starscream by Hasbro.

No, you couldn't.

Poo-poo. I want the prototype design that didn't have the silly hip-sheaths hanging off Starscream's sides, and with a much more G1 accurate color scheme. I don't care if Takara or Hasbro are the ones to make such a thing. Unfortunately, I doubt it will happen.

I'd be shocked if Takara didn't release Starscream in toon accurate colours quite frankly. As for the 'sheaths' you can easily attach them to his legs anyway. So, let the good times roll I guess!

I would sign it, but until it's released in show accurate colors with a remolded head for Skywarp and Thundercracker, I'll just make do with my Yamato 1/48 VF-1S Valkyrie

Agreed on all points.

I've got MP Starscream and was pretty unimpressed by him.

Hopefully Megatron will be a much better figure.
