Still waiting for the announcement of all the useless junk this Starscream will come with and how insane tyhe price will be.

It will come together with an Optimus Prime body, for simmetry. And to double its price.

Is it me or do the wings on the robot mode seem to sit just a tad bit lower than they ought to?

Perspective and the wings are most likely to be adjustable.

Now that it's in colour, I feel torn.
It looks a little too... Cartoony.
I know, I know, That's the whole point, But it feels a bit excessive.
Hrm.

TFsource just put up a $275 pre-order, make of that what you will

Don't get me wrong it's a beautiful figure, and if it's under 200 dollars, I'd be sorely tempted. However, I'd like to remind everyone that Takara is STILL giving us a figure that has been done to death by not only them but third party companies as well.

Where is Mirage? Jazz? Insecticons? Reflector? Any of the minibots besides Bumblebee?

Or how about any of these amazing candidates that don't need licenses: Blaster, Perceptor, Scourge, Cyclonus, Kup, Blurr, Galvatron, Springer or any of the other season 3 guys? Heck, I'd take a Masterpiece Sharkticon at this point over another Transformer that's already gotten the Masterpiece treatment already. We've been collecting this line for 16 years! I'd really like to have the season 1 cast completed finally or the season 2 cast before redoing these other guys for a 2nd or 3rd time.

TFSource.com has the preorder up:

My Kingdom for MP headmasters. Especially Apeface and Snapdragon.

He looks pretty cool but I can't justify that price. I just hope MP-11 goes for a bit cheaper so I can upgrade from the MP3 mold haha

Keep in mind this is a fans rendering. In hand it could look much different.

Damn... I was really thinking we would maybe get him for $200-$220...
$275 is freaking steep!
That really is pretty tough to justify.
I'm definitely holding off for now... Sure, I can save up for a couple months, I'm just not sure I even want to. Geesh.

I wouldn't worry just yet, let's see what Amazon JP puts the figure up for.

The new photo isn't a fan rendering/coloring, he's in poses we haven't seen before so it would be strange for it to be digitally painted.

I'll brag about being correct about the price once Japanese pre-orders go up.

What was the price you said again?

I'll wait to hear from ID Toys or Kapow also. TFSource, in my experience, are one of the more expensive online outlets.

Around $200 on Amazon Japan, but more precisely I said his price would mirror Black Convoy's price, and so far the pre-orders are right in line with that (MP-49 is $270 on TFSource compared to Starscream's $275). It's a far cry from the $400 a lot of people were expecting.

Emerje

Right well Chosen Prime is backing that up as they're mirroring TFSource price

Good guess for mirroring black convoy, makes the most sense. I didn't think it would go up to 400 but I definitely saw the SRP as reaching the 300$ mark. If it is indeed 25$ cheaper, than I am happy for everyone.

Now, that's pretty impressive! Plus the ammount ofr extra parts don't look exagerated like for MP-44. Just the essencials.

When the preorder go live, it will be a struggle not to strike.
Because lately, live have not been kind...

Yeah, glad this doesn't come with "coronation" gear.

Hey, it's a good reason to keep MP-11, too. And the art style of the scene did make him look a little different.





But what the hey, this doesn't come with TFTM battle damage?!?



Kidding!
