New Images of Million Publishing Exclusive Infiltrator Starscream

I like my Starscream armed to the teeth!

Honestly, the only thing that kills me about this mold is the side profile... when he's in his infiltrator/ghost deco, I guess that's less an issue and more a defining feature.

All your guns are belong to Starscream.

This is bad ass. Im in love with those guns

Wow, that looks really cool. I was never a huge fan of that mold for Starscream but with those killer guns and the clear plastic, I might just have to get my hands on this.

Wow, until these images I had no idea that you could pull the top triangle fin thing off Starscream and put his guns there... I was like "Wait, is that a thing? (Grabs Starscream, pulls fin off, places guns there) well, I'll be damned."

Looks nice, but I learned my lesson with Millions publishing figures. Wait until they go on clearance. Stepper and Artfire were must haves that I didnt want to risk missing out. Both times I got screwed when they ended up on clearance prices. A ghost WFC Starscream is not a must have. I got the regular version. This would be just a novelty.

Technically, he's not a ghost. He's using his cloaking ability to turn invisible.

What are the two really big guns from or based on?

Titan class Metroplex.

Yuck. It looks like some kind of plastic dog grunted out a big ol' pile of multicolored doo-doo and stuck a sign in it that says 'Starscream'.

I hope the leftists are thrown out of office soon, so the recession can really end, and Hasbro can go back to making REAL transformers instead of the ones they've been farting out of the 'El-Cheapo-Mc-Suck-Suck' factories in Chumbawumba.

But this isn't made by Hasbro.

The mold was made/used by Hasbro - that was the point. Before this was an 'infiltrator exclusive', it was WFC Starscream - which suffers from all the gripes I listed above.

Probably best not to make political statements on these forums. Some of us are die-hard partisan warriors (like our Transformer friends), and you wouldn't want an otherwise friendly discussion to get ugly.

Million Publishing has updated their website with the box image of their upcoming exclusive Infiltrator Starscream. Like usual the box is black and white and it also features artwork by none other than Guido Guidi. In Japan the figure is a mail away with Million Publishing's Transformers Generations 2013 Volume 01. It will also be carried by various site sponsors. Check out the box art below.

I'm liking it.

So what's different about this one?

It's translucent, representing his cloaking ability in the game.

welcometothedarksyde wrote:So what's different about this one?

Translucent plastic all around, and he includes additional repainted FOC weaponry: Shockwave's cannon and Sideswipe's big blaster in additon to his own. See the first page.

Sabrblade - Starscream did not have cloaking ability in the game. He had hover and shockwave.
Starscream Soldier Null Ray Scatter Blaster Shockwave Hover
Skywarp Scout Scatter Blaster In Game Pick Up Whirlwind Cloaking
Thundercracker Scientist Neutron Assault Rifle Energon Repair Ray Spawn Sentry Dash

The same characteristic all repaints like this share.

An inflated price equal to highway robbery.

Skywarp and Thindercracker were not in Fall of Cybertron. Starscream had the cloaking ability in THAT game.

PWND.

Yeah, Strascream can cloak and WILL cloak in the FALL OF CYBERTRON game.
What you are referencing is the first game, War For Cybertron.(I prefer the first game, honestly)

Now that it's hammerred so hard that you are now crying out for mercy, I just wanna tell that 100$ for this deluxe is WAY too expansive. That 100$ for a repaint will be better used for the G1 colored Supreme Starscream that is about to come out.

Oh look you're back, either time passes super fast or you can't count to six, because correct me if I'm wrong, but you claimed you wouldn't return for another six months because we all suck and you're so super strong willed and amazing?
And lookid here, the post is again directed at Sabre and aims at sticking it to him while again being super wrong.

You trully are super amazing and fantastic at life priorities, please teach me.

Great news for those of you who have been patiently awaiting the release of the Million Publishing Exclusive Infiltrator Starscream, the figure has started hitting mailboxes! The figure is a translucent redeco of the Transformers Generations Fall of Cybertron Deluxe mold with Neutron Assault Rifle, plus Sideswipe's Pathblaster and Shockwave's Photon Burst Rifle. Images below courtesy of the Autobase Aichi Facebook page:

an exclusive thats expensive? shocking!

anyways... back to the TOY... i like him but wish his head wasnt blue. ill probably buy one if its on sale.

The Hobby Ark Toy Store Facebook page has shared a couple of images of the recently released Million Publishing mail-away exclusive Infiltrator Starscream. The figure is a translucent redeco of the Transformers Generations Fall of Cybertron Deluxe mold with Neutron Assault Rifle, plus Sideswipe's Pathblaster and Shockwave's Photon Burst Rifle. We've mirrored their images below:

This thing look GLORIOUS!

But not 151$ glorious.
(110$ for the toy + 14$ shipping + 27$ custom fees for sure because order worth more than 100$ from the USA)

So, I'll wait for it to be on clearance in a year.
And it will.

First time ill be passing on a seeker. 2nd if you count cloud starscream.

Love the mold, but definitely not at this price. I will wait and see if I can get it cheaper later on!!!

Another ugly Starscream. Have I seen this before?

I actually sort of wanted this because the color scheme struck me as making for a decent FOC Thrust, but I must've only seen him in jet mode before, because one look at the way the light shines though that blue noggin just says "no".

This mold always looks more fun from afar than it actually is once I get it in-hand anyway. Getting Generations Skywarp a few weeks ago killed my usual desire to army-build, and there's BotCon exclusives I actually feel like saving up for this year.

Maybe I'd feel different if I'd played the game, but I'll go back and catch up on MP Seekers before I get what's essentially another ghost-Starscream homage (in that he's getting this sort of toy before other characters with cloaking abilities in the games whose G1 counterparts didn't have a history of noncorporeal resurrection), awesome though those extra weapons look.

If they'd done the whole thing in translucent plastic I'd say yes. Keeping the opaque plastic in bits just doesn't work.

it's either that, or risk breaking joints every time you transform him. Take your pick.

Ah, yes. I'd almost forgotten how goddamn fragile clear plastic can be (which I really shouldn't given how careful I have to be with my Tamashii Stages). It just looks rather unsightly... Maybe there's a slightly less clear but still mostly translucent plastic that isn't as fragile?

What is really ugly looking and even fear inducing is the goddamn pricetag that is slapped onto it.
