Just wondering how many of us are actually going to "clean the weathering effects" off of our US MP SSs?? I think I may stay dirty with this one.. whaddya think!

I'll have to see it in person, but I think yes, I probably will. Gotta have those G1-derful colors come thru! (That was terrible, sorry.)

I'm leaving mine as it is.

I'm going to at least clean off the nosecone. I'm not sure about the rest yet.

nah im not gonna clean it - hes gonna look so much more convincing begging for mercy infront of mp megatron if hes got the scars to prove it

The original colors look more realistic. I'll leave it as it is.

How would you clean it?

i would like to find one first, before i decide to clean him

Considering that I can barely see any weathering on mine the way I have him displayed, It's staying as is.

i definately don't like the weathering but i'm just afraid i'd mess up the fig or something. that's if we around the philly area ever get the damn thing in our wal-marts.

I plan on buying 4 so that I can make Thundercracker,Skywarp and Sunstorm so I'll be leaving Starscream as is.

So all of them will have the same kind of smirk?

I didnt know that they put a smirk on MP Screamer's face but I could modify that real eazy.

Clean this toy and you will be rewarded.

I got mine last and i really like the weathering. and i love the changable face.

Maybe it's just because I've got Return Of The Jedi on in the background, but it looks like you're trying the Jedi mind trick.

Use the Force.

Same, in bot mode, the weathering is barely noticeable.

The weathering on mine was very heavy, so I cleaned the whole thing and boy was it worth it. He looks a hundred times better without all of that weathering. And it's very easy to do to boot.

just clean the weathering using ordinary rubbing alcohol (70% isopropyl works wonders, and it's pretty common here in our country, just make sure you use pure 70% solution, not the ones with added fragrances, etc.) and cotton balls and buds (or q-tips, as it is prolly more commonly known there). it may take time, depending on the amount of weathering, but it works on the scorch marks.

Clean this toy, you must!

Wow. Squeaky clean.

On a side note, US MP Starscream, makes perfect Starscream for Classics series. Right color, right scale.
