The Henkei version definitely makes up for the Classic one's flaws. It's spot-on, aside from the grey nosecone.

May I ask why? The only significant flaws are the hole in the belly in jet mode, and the oversized guns, IMHO. Other than that, they blow the RM Seekers out of the water.

The present state of Classics and MP design of Starscream suggests only one thing.

There will yet be another Starscream in the future.

i cant see a new g1 starscream being made anytime soon,
mayby a leader class or even ultamte movie starscream
but unless he actualy flies, it would be hard to top g1 mp

It would have been nice, and almost perfect, if MP had picked up from the Classics design. Especially the way the nose cone transforms and retains the solid back side of the robot. Then improve of the hollow jet belly and arms design. Such as those implemented on the current MP. But retain the overall transformation style of Classics legs and thighs, with some added tiny details and minor modifications.

That would have made my Starscream day!

Anyone up for a custom job?

OK
so i'm not going to get other mp seekers for sure but i will get henkei seekers, hopefully takara will release the rest of the set.
i'm finally starting to really like the classics/henkei line.
but i won't be buying anything till i get my first henkei figure astrotrain which i ordered over 2 weeks ago.

MP line is kinda lonely. Only 3 unique molds so far. I hope they come out with more characters to make it jolly.

hopefuly grimlock will be out soon, no idea who will be after that people have been saying bumblebee but i would prefer Galvatron

Just ordered Henkei Starscream yesterday... can't wait to get my hands on this guy.

p.s.
I got Henkei Astrotrain a couple of days ago and he kicks ass, so i highly recommend getting him

Masterpiece Bumblebee??? Wow. That will be something. But how will they make it? As big as MP Prime? Or as small as Alternators? And if he'd be small enough to match the scale of MP Prime, then wouldn't we have called him Binaltech?

It's ok. No need to find it. We think in similar lines.

Sure is hard to choose who will be next.

by **The Chronic** » Fri May 16, 2008 7:17 am

who needs a mp size/class most? out of the most popular characters none of these have a decent recent toy
Galvatron
Shockwave
Astrotrain
or Rodimus Prime

by **Auto Bot** » Fri May 16, 2008 8:01 am

I'll take Astrotrain. It will be fun to mix him up with the Classics. Shuttles are supposed to be large.

i like the mp's myself but i actulay drilled a hole in their cannons so it looks better like a laser realy could come out of there ss and sw look better that way

I couldn't agree more, they certinly deserve to get the mp treatment.
