That's the second time I've said OMG about Star Saber.
I was thinking he might be short so he can combine with Victory Leo, but that theory is shot. Still, even if he doesn't combine, this figure is going to be amazing.

I'm still holding onto my hope that it comes with holes and parts that allow the G1 V-Leo to be attached to him.

That still doesn't sound good to me since Star Saber was not an average-sized dude. He's huge.Seibertron wrote:I just got a message from Professor Smooth on Facebook. He was at the show earlier, saw Star Saber in person, and said that Star Saber and Ultra Magnus are "Very similar in size".
I'm not asking for a five-foot tall figure (that'd be ridiculous). But I was kinda hoping he'd be at least around Armada Unicron's height.

Wow that first pic was deceptive. I know angle, perspective and whatnot can be deceiving but after looking and looking it had me fooled! I really thought he was smaller

That looks...
I'd like to hear some details on him though, such as if he will have a fully-functional Brainmaster gimmick or saber that can be sheathed.

Courtesy of TAGHobby.com, we get a closer, clearer look at the prototype of Masterpiece Star Saber, from the Tokyo Toy Show. Check out the mirrored image below, and sound off your thoughts in the Energon Pub!

anyone else think he looks a little plain? grey proto's are usually the best to show off a figures sculpted details, and he's lookin kinda flat.

I'm actually surprised they already have a prototype to show! The announcement about Star Saber coming out as a Masterpiece was in November, and we saw the first designs later that month and then nothing until last April.
GAH I haven't been this stoked about a figure in a looooong time.

He's not "plain," he's "streamlined."

Can't wait to see some color on this bad boy. Will most likely add to collection. Head sculpt seems very gundam like. That is a plus.

I don't see a lot in the way of joints or seams that would give an idea as to how the figure comes together. I really feel keeping the Brainmaster gimmick intact is crucial.

Still, no interest in getting Star Saber.

Well I for one am really excited for this one. I can't tell if he's gonna have the old Brainmaster gimmick because they head doesn't look like it becomes the turret on the alt mode. Guess we gotta wait for more pictures to find out.

Seeing the head size, I'm not sure if the "Battle Up" helmet will be removable to then leave it only with the "normal" face.

Below you'll find another look at the Fans Choice Masterpiece winner Star Saber prototype that was revealed at the Tokyo Toy Show. Also feature on the page are MP-21 Bumblebee and MP-22 Ultra Magnus.

This is a really important point.
Star Saber's transformation is so simple, if the complexity is not in his "nesting doll" attributes, we're getting screwed over.

Absolutely. Is it too early to start wishing for a MP Victory Leo?
