Well surprisingly the Takara version looks better IMO. I think it's the plastic color, if he was shifted to a creamsicle orange color he would look way better. This is in no way a "Masterpiece". Hope they do better with Skywarp

I'm not typically too hard on TFs, but that paint job is absolutely terrible. It's cheap and pathetic. I was looking forward to this. Not anymore.
I didn't mind paying $75 for Thundercracker and Acid Storm. If this is an accurate picture, I will pass this up. Sad. Just sad.

I'm surprised by the negative reactions... but maybe I shouldn't be, lol. I don't even like Sunstorm and I don't think it looks that bad. I like it a lot more than Acid Storm.

I know its just me, But due to the poor quality of the photo, the deco looks like dragstrip, yellow body, red details, blue face, purple head

Between Masterpiece and Platinum someone in Hasbro's repaint department has lost their mind lately. Easy pass in those ugly colors.

Away from the negative reactions, this toy could be an excellent collection of true Starscream collectors.

Why did it take you so long to make a news post about this? TFW2005 have made quite a few new posts since yesterday, yet you've not done any until now.

The guys who post the news aren't always aware of everything, so if you see news that has yet to be reported, then report it. It takes more than merely posting news on here to get it noticed by the News staff. It needs to be submitted in order for the staff to catch wind of it the best way possible.KirbyForce1 wrote:Why did it take you so long to make a news post about this?

Plus, we have these things called "lives". I was out the entire day, but I made it a point that the first thing I did when I got home was to get this bit of news up before settling down.
If you're going to criticize us, please see from our perspective before doing so. >:oP

As a true Starscream fan, I bought MP-03 ages ago and my MP-11 is on it's way. Why settle for a bizaroid repaint when you can get THE MAN himself?
Also, ugly yellow MP is ugly. I wouldnt buy it even if it came out locally.

surprisingly? ok... dunno if you know or not, but typically takara is superior at paint apps. and have you ever looked at takaras MP sunstorm? its stunning (i own one, couldnt be happier).welcometothedarksyde wrote:Well surprisingly the Takara version looks better IMO.

- Generations Whirl and Roadbuster based more on their G1 toys and not as updated as other "Classics-style" toys
- G2/IDW-esque Generations Jhiaxus colored like the RiD toy.
- AOE Evolution 2-Packs using Energon Grimlock and the DOTM dino Mini-Cons
- G1 Strafe box art on the AOE Strafe Evolution 2-Pack to represent the G1 Swoop-esque toy
- Hero Mashers Heatwave based on the Shattered Glass Timelines toy instead of Rescue Bots Heatwave
- Walmart getting exclusive AOE redecos of Beast Wars molds from over a decade ago
- MP Sunstorm not colored like G1 Sunstorm

Did someone urinate all over Starscream? OOhhh it's supposed to be Sunstorm in those hideous colors. Have at it scalpers, have at it, I care not.

I didn't like Takara's Sunstorm deco, so I'm saying that I surprisingly like Hasbro's even less. I don't think I'm alone on that either. Takara's Sunstorm was controversially colored when it came out.

to be fair.. it was a member of TFW2005 who took this photo while he was at work (he works at TRU).. so, that would explain why.
plus, i think in the long run the news between seibertron and TFW even's themselves out.. sometimes one will get a story first, sometimes the other will.

either that picture is just a really bad representation or the crap coloring of AoE has made its way to the MPs

Well I like the ugly repaint. Starscream fans don't have to collect Starscream only, I like collecting his repainted brothers and such.
