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.

the stand is right under its feet....its easier to see in the pics where its an angle looking down. you can see the grey piece and see the beginning where his name is written....i couldnt see it at first either, had to look a few times..lol

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.

lol..nice

but i'm pretty sure its been right side up on the series. though considering how many animation mistakes that thing had, it could easily have just been mistakes everytime lol

I hope those annoying twisty-ties don't scuff up the paint job

these must piss off the fans who paid updwards of 200$ for theirs

If Hasbro does release Megs, I hope they do something like I did in this picture( I came across an extra set of MP Megs gun sword and KREEMZEK) instead of adding a plain orange safety cap.

Be creative with your restrictions!

you are correct they symbols are right side up sometimes and sometimes there upside down. I think its cool to have them upside down, but thats just my opinion, they should have made them decals like MP03, so you could decide for your self. still this figure is way cooler being g1 accurate. Bring on SkyWarp! and Thundercracker!

Nope, they where upside down. I't something that always bothered me. I put my stickers on inverted from the show, cause who cares how you see the logo in alt mode as it looks good either way. But Robot mode, I want it right side up.

It's 79.99 at Wal-Mart, who the F*&*(*(&! would be dumb enough to pay that! for THAT.

The same 10,000 people who paid that amount for 20th Prime.

I like my MP Screamers colours, but the anime correct would be a nice bot mode display.

I would, are you calling me dumb?

by **NightFall** » Sat Jul 14, 2007 2:48 pm

79.99 is reasonable. Can't wait!

by **manas** » Sat Jul 14, 2007 4:02 pm

But the price is $60? That's what the tag at Botcon said.

I just hope it comes with the sticker sheet the Japanese one came with.

$200? for MP SS? You are kidding, right?

Try $84.95...Robot Kingdom, baby.

Unmodified MP Megatron...$89.95.

No pissed off fan here...

Call me stupid then because $60-80 is not a bad price for that release. Most others would and have agreed.

I really want this. I thought it was 60, not 90. :???:

by **Dclone Soundwave** » Sat Jul 14, 2007 5:38 pm

Interesting enough that they call him 'Masterpiece Starscream' instead of just Starscream. I guess they want to make a nod to Takara & the MP line. Eh. Gotta get him even though I re-painted mine in silver...............grrrrr. Oh well.

by **ButtZilla** » Sat Jul 14, 2007 5:46 pm

finally the right starscream with the correct colours... but expensive, time to wait and save up

by **YouFearGalvatron** » Sat Jul 14, 2007 7:11 pm

I remember reading somewhere that he would retail for aroung $50 US...guess I was mistaken, or the person claiming that MSRP was, rather.

I might have to rethink this one then...

by **Bouncy X** » Sat Jul 14, 2007 8:03 pm

so they have prime. megatron and starscream..and they're probably gonna use the starscream mold to make thundercracker and skywarp.....but i wonder if soundwave will be coming as an MP anytime soon? cuz it seems these are the 4 main transformers most people remember, so they're like the core gang if you will...lol

by **Justinplace** » Sat Jul 14, 2007 10:21 pm

Definitely gonna cop this when it comes out.

Any Idea how much it will cost?

looks nice. wait tho! when does this one drop, or is it out? if it is im hunting starscream tomorrow!!! where do they sell this SS masterpiece. i seen him on ebay,the japanese one,and im tempted on buying it. actually after i saw the movie my boy and i were walkin in the village in NYC, and i saw a store with the jap SS masterpiece in the window but the store was closed. wonder if it sells the same amount as on ebay?? but if anyone has any info on where to get this SS please let me know i want it. i also want other masterpieces as well,besides megatron i dont like how he looks. so theres prime,megatron,ultra magnus,statscream and skywarp. are there any other ones? and where do they sell them? thanks,sorry for all the questions. :grin:
