I go to a japanese forums every once in a while to look at customs, new figures and such and noticed they have a picture up of a supposed US Masterpiece Starscream. I can't read Kanji, so...
Sorry if this is B.S.

I get the forbidden thing too.
But just for confirmation's sake there is a Hasbro US release of Masterpiece Starscream. It's a Walmart Exclusive, in Anime accurate colors.

Yeah, all I got was a mistranslated page with a cartoon dog, and something that looked like boiled chestnuts(I hope).
Go back to the page, save the images yourself then link them here, it's the only way to tell.

Sorry. Just click on the first link that appears. I know there's a MP Starscream coming out stateside, but I don't recall seeing pictures posted of the box, close ups of the figure as well as the doc.
Hope that link helps.

The MP Starscream in that pic is the US version. It has the battle damage.

The main question is when will we see it on the shelf? I have been going to Wal-Mart three to five times a week hoping to walk in and find it laying there. Hasbro said September and now we are half way into October.

1.) BotCon (November)
2.) TransFormers.com/ (Official Hasbro site, September)
3.) Action-H-Q (October)
4.) eBay auction preorders (December07/January08)
However, I myself and another board member, both emailed Hasbro. They told the both of us that Starscream is shipping to Wal-Mart now. However, due to the store's setup and duedate...it could be days, weeks, or even months before it hits shelves.
People also believe it could be a Black Friday special. I think we'll see him in November.

He seems to be standing OK with his hip panels attached to his lower legs (bottom left picture). I'd been told that this was not possible, that the only way to display him with his hip panels on his lower legs is to mount him on his base. Can anyone enlighten me?

I actually talked with one of the Walmart managers at my local store the other day (very nice and knowledgeable by the way) and he said that he had a couple of Transformers things to put out on Tuesday. Wouldn't tell me all of them but the one that he did was a two pack Optimus Prime (one of them a movie version, which I assume will be the voyager and the other a G1 styled version)
It's not likely that we'll see MP Starscream but it's possible.

Actually I think that should be the Evolution of a Hero pack. With a FAB Prime (not voyager) and the deluxe Spinning Action G1 like Prime from the Classics vs two Pack with Green tank Megs.
In any case, yeah the MP thing is legit. the packaging we had seen a while back. Classics like packaging.
We are just waiting for the actual release.
I hope they release it towards Christmas. That way, I can have a shot at getting one when I'm in the US.
