One for each year of the Movieverse's decade strong tenure. Here's to a few more explosive years!

I can!
It’s just a matter of what we grew up with and what we enjoy. When I think “Starscream”, I think of this design before the blue and red F-15, but I know that most people are probably more familiar with the G1-style appearance.
That’s a huge part of what I like so much about the Bay movies - They went all out in creating awesome, super detailed reimaginings of characters that - while retaining some hints of the originals - really let the designers get creative and do something new (and IMO way cooler).

I feel like I'm in an interesting spot because, I really do not like most of the movie designs in the actual movies (I feel like they're overdesigned), but put them in toy form, even Masterpiece toy form, and (by necessity of making the design into a toy) they're simplified juuuuuuuuuuust enough that they become much more interesting to look at, the "broad strokes" of the design start to stand out more against the smaller more granular details. This MPM Starscream is way more enjoyable for me to look at than how the design is in the actual movie itself. Still not what would come to mind immediately as a "good Starscream", but I kind of think of/appreciate the movie designs in their own little bubble.

In what sense?

Same parts, same detail, same transformation lines/breaks. I don't believe this is 100% a new mold at all.
Scheduled to ship in September

The robot is the main attraction. The vehicle here looks fine as is, and clearly you don't need to display with the hand weapons attached, thats just a place to store them for vehicle mode if you so wish.
No offence at all.
It's a valid way to display the jets. They usually stand up pretty well! However, the Movie jet cannot stand up like this because of the way it's made. It dosent have a "tripod".

ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:So I see I'm not the only one who stands jets like that. I find it works really well with the SIEGE Tetrajets, lets me pack them in tight together on their storage shelf.
But yeah, movie Starscream being an F-22 means he can't do that. I imagine the same goes for Energon Starscream and G2 Smokescreen.

"Exclusive" or not, all MPM found their way to Amazon or Mandarake sooner or later. And like all MPM figures, they inevitably come on sale at some point.
I know my Toys R Us won't deliver because of their Quebec prejudice. So I'll bid my time.
