Posted: Sun Jul 05, 2009 6:53 amExciting news, but I prefer the Takara version.

I never would have imagined I would have to get another MP6.
This is fantastic news, and the purple is so much nicer than the original!
And that bio! That is THE perfect Skywarp bio!

A good year for being a Skywarp collector isn't it?
Re: Pic of Hasbro MP Skywarp box back
Posted: Sun Jul 05, 2009 7:02 amLast year was pretty good too, but this takes the cake. This is super exciting for me.
I am in love with that bio, it is without a doubt the perfect Skywarp bio. That one should be used on everything from now on.

Well spotted!
I must admit that might be a little annoying but I still think I'll wait for this instead of buying the Takara version.
Re: Pic of Hasbro MP Skywarp box back
Posted: Sun Jul 05, 2009 9:57 amHas Skywarp's release date been announced yet??

Holy **** your right!!! checked mine right after i read your post, never noticed that. thats kinda poopy. do you know of any possible fixes for that? youd think that after greenscream, U.S. screamer and skywarp that they woulda had the assembly down by now....especially being a takara release.
Re: Pic of Hasbro MP Skywarp box back

well to be honest with you when i transformed skids from the ROTF I thought he was just as hard if not harder to transform than the masterpeice seekers or prime for that matter...

Re: Pic of Hasbro MP Skywarp box back
Posted: Sun Jul 05, 2009 11:57 amHasbros releasing another MP? Sweet maybe now ill actually be able to get it. This better not be a store exclusive. And i hope they ship as many of these out as they did the last G1 Prime reissue.

It is a store exclusive, I think Walmart.
Re: Pic of Hasbro MP Skywarp box back
Posted: Sun Jul 05, 2009 12:06 pmIt is a Wlmart exclusive, just like Starscream. And yes, I bought both the deluxe class twins and indeed, the transformation was as engaging as MP Prime. I know that seems unbelievable, but when you consider how lacking the Hasbro instructions are in detail how to convert the figure you'll realize that you just spent the same amount of time on Skids & Mudflap as you did on MP Rime or your first Alternator.
The issue with deluxes like the twins is the same issue as with most Alternators; chunky robot parts made from hard plastic inside thin plastic car shells, with a demanding transformation that requires pieces to knock or scrape past one another if you are not extremely careful, which you aren't when you first open that toy you wanted so badly.

Re: Pic of Hasbro MP Skywarp box back
Posted: Sun Jul 05, 2009 12:13 pmwhen's this one coming out? and will it hit canada at the same time? because if i'm correct, Starscream came out here a few months after the american date.
wasn't planning on buying many MP figures but the idea of having all three seekers next to each other on a shelf brings a smile to my face. so here's hoping it comes out soon and that Thundercracker is next.
i do have a question though, does anybody know why the Takara versions dont have cartoon acurate colors? like do they have a specific reason for this? my guess is they want them to look somewhat more realistic but yeah.

Re: Pic of Hasbro MP Skywarp box back
Posted: Sun Jul 05, 2009 12:24 pmIt does seem a bit wrong to display the word "Cheap" so prominantley on what is inevitably going to be one of the most expensive figures in the store at the time.
Re: Pic of Hasbro MP Skywarp box back
Posted: Sun Jul 05, 2009 12:32 pmI'm ALL over this.
I don't like this one quite as much as the Takara version, (it's darn cool, don't get me wrong) but it's still SW and he's still my fav seeker.

Re: Pic of Hasbro MP Skywarp box back
Posted: Sun Jul 05, 2009 1:27 pmI already own all three seekers, but I wouldn't mind picking this guy up and keeping him MISB with my other two Screamers that came out 2 years back.
