The Energon Pub

Wow! This version blows MP Starscream out of the water. All of the problems with Starscream have been resolved with MP Skywarp. This masterpiece will not disappoint you.

Quick highlights:
- Beautiful paintjob (no globs of paint)
- Highgloss finish
- Metallic purple & three tones of silver
- Joints move seamlessly (no sticky or overtightened joints).
- The joints "click" into place.
- His first transformation took just 10 minutes.
- No stress marks (I could be mistaken but it feels like a better grade of plastic)
- Wing rudders stay on better
- Fingers assembled properly

Disappointment:
Dr. Archeville is still unpainted

updated photos: (The photos still don't do the colors justice)

CONGRAGULATIONS!!!!!

And damn you. Where the hell is mine????

Wow, sounds fantastic. What paperwork came with this one? How is the sticker sheet? Will you be putting on the purple wing tips? If so, pics plz.

Pics of the box and paperwork would be great!

Cool!
Feel the jealousy

Can't wait 'til mine arrives...

Gaaar,
Doug

COngrats. I can't wait until mine arrives...the pics look fantastic, but I want the real thing in hand.

Lucky! Hey when is Screamer supposed to show up here in the US? He's a wallmart exclusive right?

The sticker sheet is similar to MP Starscream. There are several seeker logos to choose from. Adding the purple decals to the wings are a must. The paint job really makes this a winner. The metallic colors are awesome! I'll try taking photos tomorrow.

Seeing MP Skywarp has given me hope that Thundercracker could be sweet.

Where did you order it from-or do you have some top secret, news team supplier?

EDIT: Oh, wait, you're in Japan. I'm assuming you might have just gone out and bought it. Please reveal your source. Thanks.

Stormrider is in Japan, so i believe he is closer to the source, i would imagine it'd be a little while before they start to ship here...

sorry if i am behind the times but wat problems existed?

True-after I read his location, I realized that he's got the inside track. Heck, me might have just purchased it in a store if they've already got it stocked at TRU or similar.

I had a feeling that they would resolve all the issues from the MP-03 release. Hopefully this mould will be used for the upcoming Walmart Exclusive Starscream MP release.

I hope this is true. It took me about 45 minutes to transform my MP-03 simply because I felt like one wrong move and he'd be broken. Every transformation felt like surgery.

Excellent news, thanks for the update Stormrider. I can't wait to see your pics!

Now Just to wait another two weeks for mine

QFT! It took me about 1 hour to put him in robot mode and there he has stayed on display.

Sorry, I should have clarified from the beginning. Yup, I picked him up at today at BIC Camera, in Nagoya Japan. They seem to get their supplies a day or two before TRU.

Cool, you can't beat that. Can't wait to get mine soon over here.

Wow, I hope I haven't missed the boat for this guy.

Was put off after buying the origonal MP Starscream.
I am tempted now, always had a soft spot for Skywarp.

Screw tomorrow, I want pictures yesterday dammit! Get to it son.

Good news. I had terrible problems with the joints actually tearing where the wings fold upwards because of too much stress on the joints. I'd be interested if you could tell me how they overcame this problem.

pics or it didn't happen!

Pics have been added to the first post.

Very nice. :3

Ahhh, the toothy grin is killer. Tell me there is another face like on Starscream...please.

Yep, mine too. I'm waiting to get Skywarp to see one in jet mode again.

It's probably a good thing that the Walmart SS will have directions from Robot to Jet in English for us Yankees around here.
