Obviously you can't see the stabilizers in robot mode but it's not impossible to pose ER Starscream in such a way that would minimize them in a silhouette like this. There are differences in the null-rays, certainly, but it's hard to say for sure.

In your terms, I guess I'm a "fool" then? Don't pity me/us, because I work very hard and budget things in such a way that I can afford them, and I greatly value every Transformer in my collection.
The one's I feel bad for are those who want them, but can't afford them
Don't want + can't afford = No problem
Want + can afford = No problem
Want + can't afford = Problem

Speaking of completitionist, there was that user who had in mind to get EVERY single releases of ALL Masterpiece figures. Meaning not only the repaints and ultra limited variants, but even various international editions of the same thing whenever there was a just a slight change on the box even.
But then I guess that user gave up on the idea when the MP releases were basically monthly and the prices began to skyrocket.

Ran through Google translate, Apparently the text on the photo they posted translates to "Beyond 15 years Masterpiece series Starscream revival".

I have every MP, with the exception of the BAPE versions, because they didn't interest me much. I even purchased the BW II figures, even though I wasn't a fan of the show, because the figures are excellent!

What do you think this new Starscream is going to cost?
& what accessories do you think this release will include?
I feel you on the space issue.. they take up room fast, especially when in their boxes.-Kanrabat- wrote:Because of space and budget limitations (and I collect way too much various things) I only buy the MPs that truly interest me. Even though I have MP-01 and MP-10, I just couldn't bring myself to pay they price of MP-44 so I skipped.
I have a strong attraction to Starscream and I ADORED the MP-03 mold despite it's glaring flaws. I bought the "Walmart G1" at the time but I stupidly sold it to buy MP-11. The MP-11 that I grossly overpaid for a quality inferior to a cheap K.O.
I still have the MP-03 Ghost whom I put in a special LED display to make him shine. Just some years back, I bought the original MP-03 "Greenscream" because it's charged with history and he look pretty much bad-ass in that army camo color.
So I'm sincerely hoping that new Starscream will not be like MP-44. Over-engineered and one zillion accessories for a 400$+ pricetag.

I call 400$US like BW Megatron. Including the cape (an improved version of the excelent MP-11 accessory) the crown, and a mini Megs in gun mode. Then, add at least 4 or 5 accessories that appeared in the cartoon for just a few seconds. Oh, and at least 3 extra faces and maybe some optional swappable "damaged" panels like with MP-36 for when Megs beat the sh!t out of Screamers.

Oh hell yeah! That lighting display was expensive as fok to make, but well worth it. Ghost Screamer is in perma jet mode because it's scary to transform and it look the best this way.
Have a very old picture:
(I still regret selling that MP-03 G1 colors)

That isn't me. And I assume, Isn't a lot of others as well.
