TFW2005.com seems to have an image of a possible genuine MP Starscream in anime colours:

Could be a fake but it looks well done.

So we did! Do you think it's a fan job? Some of it looks a bit...rough.

Maybe it's a US ver

Not sure why you guys think this is a US release, you can see the regular MP Starscream in the background so it's probably going to be a Japanese release just in G1 colors.

the red has that sort of plasticy transparent look, know what I mean? look at Starscream's love handles.

Yes, I just read US on the TFW2005 boards. I've changed the title of the post to reflect that it may not be a US issue.

Why did they take off the tailfins?

News Credits: 1 · by **Switchpoint** » Thu May 31, 2007 8:39 am

If it is by Hasbro they sure went overboard with the "battle damaged" look.

if thats a real release ill have one! ive already got mp starscream but oh yes ill have one of those!

by **WhiteNoise** » Thu May 31, 2007 8:42 am

Looks like a fan-piece to me. That paint app is way to nice for anything that Hasbro would do themselves. I never thought Hasbro would produce one but I hope I'm wrong.

i want it i want it i want it

I like the look as a whole but I don't like the upside down insignia in robot mode.

by **TallTiki** » Thu May 31, 2007 8:44 am

Thats awesome. Why didn't they paint it that color to start with cause real jets and not even that dark color. So who wants my Dark Grey Starscream.

by **Saya** » Thu May 31, 2007 8:44 am

The more I think about it, the more I doubt this is official. I mean, unless I missed something, Skywarp was meant to be the next MP, and I can't see them announcing another before he's even been released. It's also pretty unlikely it's a Hasbro release... I guess time will tell though.

I must admit, he looks kinda funky in his anime colours.
Then again, I didn't think there was really anything wrong with the first MP SS...

I do see what you mean Sunstar, it kinda reminds me of playdoh red. Maybe it is a Hasbro reissue? It definetly looks to me like it's made of plastic.

SCHWEEEEEET

by **Vile MK III** » Thu May 31, 2007 8:46 am

If this is for real, I hope he comes with a crown and cape. :grin:

I think this is going to be MP-08. With Skywarp already confirmed as MP-06, I don't think Takara is going to release two seekers in a row.

by **Koloth** » Thu May 31, 2007 8:50 am

I still doubt this is a Hasbro release. Not because of the paint scheme or anything but because of the overall fragility of MPSS. To get past the toy laws they would have to toughen it up a fair bit.

On the other hand I don't think it is a custom either. Most of the custom I have seen look much rougher. Lots of thick globbed on paint to cover the darker color. This one doesn't have that. Unless they managed to do a really good dye job.
