Rumors have been brewing for a couple weeks regarding pictures of an anime repainted MP Starscream. A few days ago we posted pictures of the repaint here. Information has been speculating that the repaint may be the Masterpiece Starscream that Hasbro has mentioned a while back.
An auction of the alleged prototype has now surfaced on eBay. eBay seller, minmeiiloveyou, claims that it is not a repaint but an official test shot. The figure features red plastic and white plastic. Some places are still not fully painted; and some places exhibited painted weathering. A picture of the copyright stamp says Takara.

Um, it'd be hard to achive an anime accurate scheme without having them upsidedown...
Anyway, yeah, if it wasnt for the god aweful 'battle damage/dirt/god knows what that would be one badass paint job.

Im glad its got some dirt ( although it looks a bit overdone ). If it was clean solid paint it would lose some realism and that used look. Makes it look less of a cartoon.

This is one of those strange issues with the cartoon. Didnt they appear both right side up and upside down in the cartoon?

Not entirly sure, but on the toy, and I think in alt mode on the cartoon, they were always that way up.

That is unfortunately how he appeared in the cartoon and has always been a bugbear of mineDMSL wrote:Looks great but why are the Decepticon logo's upside down in botmode, it looks stupid.

The Allspark site mentioned that Hasbro may be bringing this out in the fall. I have a suspicion they will either announce this at BotCon or we will see them start to advertise it in a month, just to build anticipation before it comes out.Ericus Prime wrote:You know, I just wish that Hasbro would go ahead and announce or denounce a repainted MP Starscream so I won't hurt my head thinking if this real or fake!

I agree with half that, and I like the crown decal, I would love to see a cape and crown here.
But lose Dr. Archevil!?!?!?!

Still it is very nice, and I sure hope that it makes its way across the Pacific Ocean, to the fun side of the equator!

The extra battle damage you mentioned does sound like a good idea. It would make it top notch.Duo Prime wrote:This looks cool, but i just hate the over done battle damage. If they do battle damage, they should go all the way, and cast cracks and laser holes in the body, and not just a bunch of black paint. I wonder if i could get rid of it with some sort of paint thinner?
I wish they would get rid of the Dr. Archeville figure. I left mine in the box.
