First impression: he looks great in both modes as expected. But the transformation is... yeah;.. as expected.
Hopefully transforming him back and forth will get easier. Coronation scene or not, maybe I should try to sell MP-11 so I'll have incentive to transform MP-52.
He looks spot on, it's the first ever Starscream to get the head/face right. And the swapable expressions make him so dynamic. The "fake" part is much better here than on MP-45 Bee because it hides the "real" piece -- there's no duplicity.
Y'all are right about the flight stand. It's useless in robot-mode, did T get lazy?
The knees on mine are fine, but the ankles are rather weak, did I miss a step? Landing gear, too.
Lower legs are perfectly flush on my Starscream. That part of the transformation was actually pretty cool. Oh, and it's the first MP in years that I transformed on my own without a video.
For now, this is my last MP, couldn't skip it after all the time that I had wished for a proper looking MP Starscream.
I'm not sure, I think I did whatever I was supposed to. It's only in some poses though.Immortal Starscream wrote:if your having problems with the ankles, it might be that your not snapping the feet into the heels. They do snap in, and on mine it was a case of "excessive force may be necessary"
one of a couple points of dread I had in transformation. the other being the nosecone twist. that feels like its trying to break every time.

According to TakaraTomy Mall's order page for MP-52+ Thundercracker, anyone who buys MP-52 Starscream, MP-52+ Thundercracker, and the forthcoming MP-52+ Skywarp, and then fills out and mails in the product questionnaire included in the flap part of all three figure's boxes, will receive the "New Emperor of Destruction Parts" for MP-52 Starscream.
These are the same cape and shoulder pieces that came with MP-11 Starscream (meaning that the MP-52 mold is backwards-compatible with these parts), but also a new crown, two new blast effects pieces, and another new piece of some kind.

HOW?
Because I tried to fit things and I don't see how it could work.
No, I don't count just letting the accessories rest in place without anything pegging in securely as "compatible".

Two, the instructions really should've been a booklet like they used to be, the fold-out sheet is just too much.

Did you try the coronation gear from MP-11 on 52 yet? I know the cape and pauldrons are the same, but I wonder if the crown will also fit.
MP-11's coronation gear are 100% incompatible with MP-52. Nothing connect and the heads are not the same shape.
So if you want a Coronation Gear for MP-52, better hunt the official, severely mod the previous one, or wait for an unofficial set.

Nemesis Maximo wrote:Yeah I learned that this afternoon when I finally opened mine. Am I the only one who didn’t know that the image Takara used along with info of getting it with purchase of the other two was a placeholder, or is there some fishiness going on? Coz even going back to the news post about it, that picture definitely very clearly shows the MP-11 cape.
Is it just me?
Immortal Starscream wrote:Welp mine broke. It was one of the points of concern I had in the transformation, however I think the break in this case came from the screw being in too far. Fortunately the way it is built, I should be able to super glue the panels together without any fear of gluing joints together. Untill I do though, can't transform him any more. See the pics below.
This is the screw that the knee transformation joint is connected too. The panels here had a bit of a gap in vehicle mode, and was very dangerous feeling from the get go when transforming the legs, but I figured if anything was going to break, it was going to be the big locking tab inside the knee joint, since it takes a bit of force to get moving And not the screw hole breaking off from the panel

If you look at the picture above, you see that the "mystery clear plastic bit" is the adapter for the MP-11 cape. It most likely plug in the stand holes on Starscream's back, the panel that cover the fake chest-cockpit in jet mode.Immortal Starscream wrote:Welp mine broke.

Yeesh.... Well at least this can be an easy fix that will not appear too much. A longer screw and a washer should do the trick. Plus it should not prevent the legs to tab together by that much I think.
This could have been worse like a wing hinge, something that was common with the MP-03 mold.
