could be wrong but, i think they're that way on the original G1 toy as well...though you're right, most of the other toys and even the cartoons/movie have them right side up

Colour-wise, oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about!

Also, everyone who is all "OMGZ!!!! $1500!!!" ...you gotta admit, you're all idiots for not reading the listing.

On mine they are right side up like I was saying--the opposite of this MP Screamer. It has been ages, but I think I applied them that way. The MP just looks odd to me. Hopefully, they aren't molded into the wings that way...

It just looks dumb to me for the symbols to be facing the way they are...no offense to anyone who likes it that way...

I want it so bad when it hits Wal-Wart...

when is this supposed to be released in stores?

Starscream and the other seekers have always had their symbols upside down in the TV show. I will prove this with this picture from the TransFormers Movie



BAM! I have given people the truth. You will now purchase this awesome item because it is correct as it is.

The only drawback I have on it is the package, it seems a bit plain for the figure, but I don't care, since I will most likely open it.

THIS HAS TO COME DOWN UNDER, SHEAR SEXYNESS INCARNATE.

What does it mean by double-sided tape? As far as I can tell the guy circled nothing that implied double-sided tape.

"Not intended for children under 3 years of age." No f'ing duh, because a three-year-old would break the living slag out of it in about two seconds. Anyone who buys a $60, extremely breakable collector's item for their toddler to play with is just an idiot. If the child didn't choke on a small part, the parent would probably end up killing it some other way anyway. Natural selection would take its course.

While I am glad this figure is available I do not like the packaging. Compared to the Takara boxes it looks cheap for the Masterpiece Range.

Also, does it show if he comes with the stand etc? The pictures kept failing to load completely.

The packaging is pretty......plain. But it's nice to see the toy from all angles in the package. And as nice as the japanese mp boxes are, they would just drive the price up here. When is this thing supposed to hit shelves here in the US? And as for megs, They'd never release megs here. They would orange tip the whole barrel or something. I ripped that plastic plug from his barrel as soon as i could!

Has anyone heard any speculation on the release date yet?

That WOULD be nice, wouldn't it? Never got Masterpiece Prime because of the price but if Starscream's a relatively good price and readily available here (which I doubt for some reason) I'll get him for sure. And yes the colors are like a hundred thousand times better than the TakaraTomy release.

Wow. Looks good. The packaging is...different. But I like it.

I hope Walmart won't price it too high

Good point but even $400 US is a joke.

TransX wrote:plastic??? what's the point if it isn't die cast?

The japanese one is plastic as well, with only a bit of die-cast just for some of the hinges.

In all honesty, die-cast is overrated. Hell, even in G1 toys, they barely had any die-cast to them. Look at soundwave. The only die-cast he had on him was his toes. Prime-chestplate & toes. Megs-arm supports & toes. Sideswipe & Red alert-their legs. But the rest of those figures was purely plastic.

Hope my local Wal-Mart (or the ones in driving distance) manages to get this in. I don't care for the packaging, was hoping it would look a lot more like the 20th Prime. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers.

Beautiful

I'm getting one, I passed on MP03 because I knew this was coming, I didn't know Hasbro'd be doing it, but I knew it was coming... now that it's almost here, nothing will stop me.

Oh yeah, I hear that. Besides with an MSRP at $60 bucks, we can afford let screamer breathe a little!

i honstly prefer my japanese mp starscream

yeah thats sweet! I will be getting one for sure. Who cares about the box? buy it take it out and play with it! I will just pretend my takara mp screamer is thundercracker now.

cant wait for seibertron to get this figure to do a side by side comparison of the this figure and the japanese figure i judge better with images.

for some having trouble loading images this one alos includes two differnt version heads intchangeable, and a display stand from ive seen on the box i dont see where or how they could fit the stand in that box but thats what it says but thats what i got from looking at the images ill be getting this one but for some reasone the japanese version looks like it has more dteail than this version.

I honestly was going to try to save up and get takaras masterpeice even though it had a very wierd color scheme but i think that hasbro has proved thier worth wiht this repaint so ill be getting G1 style when it winally comes out Go me.
