Wow, how many things can this toy do? It's brilliant in terms of engineering. I have agree somewhat with the color scheme. Disco colors are a bit of a turn off.
Anyone else thinking robot sex when looking at battle station mode? lol

It's no better looking or worse looking than PMOP's "battle station" mode.

I will probably pass due to me not really having any sort of emotional attachment to the character and money is tight but I must say they really outdid themselves on this one. I just hope they did as well with the masterpiece Ultra Magnus I pre-ordered (except for that stupid red bumper in truck mode. I know it was part of the cartoon but I still don't like it).

Has it been mentioned how Star Saber's design drew heavily from Gundam due to the popularity of that series?

Fear not! Thanks to Hisashi Yuki via Twitter, he shows off how this can be done. Masterpiece Star Saber's V-Star can transforms into a Battle Station Mode for Saber to command just like the original G1 toy! Due to be released on March 15th 2015, why not take a moment and check out Seibertron.com's gallery of G1 Star Saber to wet your appetite. Also check out Hisashi Yuki's images we've mirrored below.

Its very interesting battle station, but also kind of strange at the same time. I am having a hard time connecting with this character, even though I like some of the alternate modes.

I can definitely see the influence. I wasn't sure if it was intentional or officially the case or not. Thanks for the confirmation.

I think it was mentioned in passing a few pages back, by someone. He'd look somewhat out of place amongst my MPs if not for MP10's anime aesthetics.

Just look at the RX-78 and G-booster or , well the GS Strike in the red, white and blue colors.

Yeah, it's weird. I have a preorder in at BBTS but I know that I'm going to cancel it. Not might, going to. I want one, if I got it as a gift I'd be happy with it, but it just doesn't click with me. It looks like a third party attempt at a MP Star Saber.
It's very impressive and I'm sure it'll be a great figure but I wish Optimus Primal or Star Convoy had won the poll. I'd love to have seen how they'd done them!

What gets me about all the complaints about this guy's deco is how Starscream, Skyfire, Fireflight, Sky Lynx, all have the same colors as Star Saber (gray/white and red, with some blue and some yellow), yet no know ever makes a fuss over their decos.

It's that they criticize this character's color scheme in general, yet say nothing of the same colors on Starcream, Skyfire, Fireflight, and Sky Lynx.shajaki wrote:what i dont get, is people complaining about an accurate color scheme period. now if he were supposed to be purple, magenta, feusha, and neon pink... but we got red/white/blue/gold... then you got something to complain about.Sabrblade wrote:What gets me about all the complaints about this guy's deco is how Starscream, Skyfire, Fireflight, Sky Lynx, all have the same colors as Star Saber (gray/white and red, with some blue and some yellow), yet no know ever makes a fuss over their decos.

MP03 is a work of genius. I'm actually liking it more than the original colors because of how evil Starscream looks with those colors.
