In my head,the only thing that makes HasTak question if they wanna commit to new Starscream,is the prospect of the repaints.
Day 188 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

That means instead of you getting some armada MPs, you get a 3rd seeker mold.
You sound like you're a very angry, little person hahahaZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Deluge them with messages pointing out that this is an unforgivably unnecessary waste of plastic, metal, and man-hours.

Well, I think everyone knew this was coming eventually anyway.
While the MP-11 mold certainly has some flaws, (floppiness being the biggest one in my experience, Though I've heard this can vary from figure to figure) Also, Not fitting in with the new "Ultra cartoon accurate" MPs (IMO I can't really fault the figure personally for that), I'm not sure I want to go down this particular (And expensive) rabbit hole again. If it's a big enough improvement over MP11, I may bite, But price will also be a factor of course. I wonder if there'll eventually be some sort of coronation gear rerelease, Or if it'll be included the first time. Speaking of which, I wonder how many uses they'll try to get from the mold.
The seekers are a given. The coneheads I'd say are eventually quite likely. Maybe, Though I'd say somewhat unlikely, The Rainmakers also. And last, **Maybe** a ghost starscream.
So. That's ten. Ten uses. Hm.
I can't help but feel this takes away from other possible MPs who haven't been done to death already.
Jazz. Mirage. Trailbreaker. Hoist. Jetfire. Maybe even some of the minibots. The Insecticons. Reflector. Maybe combiners too. And that's just G1!
Could still do more Beast Wars.
Still waiting for that Armada Prime too.
*Sigh* More seekers.
Hrm.

Just means I won't have to sit in the corner and sulk because I can no longer afford MP's and I have to miss out. So ... yay?

I agree. I really don't know why I'm complaining, The last MP I bought was MP36. With the price increases (And IMO some iffy design choices) That seemed to me to be a good jumping off point.
