Exciting news, but I prefer the Takara version.

Sweet mother of Zohar.

I never would have imagined I would have to get another MP6.

This is fantastic news, and the purple is so much nicer than the original!

And that bio! That is THE perfect Skywarp bio!

A good year for being a Skywarp collector isn't it?

Last year was pretty good too, but this takes the cake. This is super exciting for me.

I am in love with that bio, it is without a doubt the perfect Skywarp bio. That one should be used on everything from now on.

Sweet looking figure...however, apparently his conversion difficulty level is on par with a deluxe movie figure?

OK-I may have to pick up the US version too.

Now, I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that next year will being us US MP Thundercracker-with chest thrusters pointing in the right direction.

Well spotted!

I must admit that might be a little annoying but I still think I'll wait for this instead of buying the Takara version.

Holy shit your right!!! checked mine right after i read your post, never noticed that. thats kinda shitty. do you know of any possible fixes for that? youd think that after greenscream, U.S. screamer and skywarp that they woulda had the assembly down by now....especially being a takara release.

well to be honest with you when i transformed skids from the ROTF I thought he was just as hard if not harder to transform than the masterpeice seekers or prime for that matter...

Hasbros releasing another MP? Sweet maybe now ill actually be able to get it. This better not be a store exclusive. And i hope they ship as many of these out as they did the last G1 Prime reissue.

It is a store exclusive, I think Walmart.

It is a Wlmart exclusive, just like Starscream. And yes, I bought both the deluxe class twins and indeed, the transformation was as engaging as MP Prime. I know that seems unbelievable, but when you consider how lacking the Hasbro instructions are in detail how to convert the figure you'll realize that you just spent the same amount of time on Skids & Mudflap as you did on MP Rime or your first Alternator.

The issue with deluxes like the twins is the same issue as with most Alternators; chunky robot parts made from hard plastic inside thin plastic car shells, with a demanding transformation that requires pieces to knock or scrape past one another if you are not extremely careful, which you aren't when you first open that toy you wanted so badly.

when's this one coming out? and will it hit canada at the same time? because if i'm correct, Starscream came out here a few months after the american date.

wasn't planning on buying many MP figures but the idea of having all three seekers next to each other on a shelf brings a smile to my face. so here's hoping it comes out soon and that Thundercracker is next.

i do have a question though, does anybody know why the Takara versions dont have cartoon acurate colors? like do they have a specific reason for this? my guess is they want them to look somewhat more realistic but yeah.

It does seem a bit wrong to display the word "Cheap" so prominantley on what is inevitably going to be one of the most expensive figures in the store at the time.

Re: Pic of Hasbro MP Skywarp box back (948695)
Posted by rpetras on July 5th, 2009 @ 12:32pm CDT

I'm ALL over this.

I don't like this one quite as much as the Takara version, (it's darn cool, don't get me wrong) but it's still SW and he's still my fav seeker.

Re: Pic of Hasbro MP Skywarp box back (948710)
Posted by dabattousai on July 5th, 2009 @ 1:27pm CDT

I already own all three seekers, but I wouldn't mind picking this guy up and keeping him MISB with my other two Screamers that came out 2 years back.

this is really neat. IMHO Skywarp is the coolest of the tree seakers

Sweet. Hope it is not a Walmart exclusive like SS was.

Ok but just don't hold your breath - they didn't correct the mistakes on universe superion.

It is...what you should hope for is that it gets even distribution unlike Starscream where some stores (and states) got none while others were flooded with the damn things leading to their going on clearence and the scalpers able to buy them for $35 or less and turn around and sell them on eBay at a $50 markup.

A-freaking-men.

I'm still bitter about that.

Your right, Now he won't match the previously released Starscream.

Oh well. His bio makes up for it :grin:

Crazy! I thought they were doing Thundercracker instead. Weird. Strangely this doesn't look quite as good as the Takara version, but I may end up buying this one if I can get it for the right price.

1 year later....I just picked up for $30 at the Walmart in Tanten, Mass. They had 4 of'm and they were half price.

Great find! Very good price for a fantastic figure.

True but I wish I'd waited a couple more weeks to get mine half price! Oh well... he was still cheapish.

I picked this guy up too..I had been holding off waiting for the price to go down but alas i caved in..Dear god I wish I hadn't. I ened up having to take the 1st back to walmart since the nose cone snapped right off and one of the chest thrusters fell off whoile removing some of the twist ties ( total about 15) The second one had similar nose cone issues and the base had chips all over it..All in the figure is awesome but he QC on thois figure is atrocious..buyers remorse has set in..Ah well i figured since I have 3 of them now I might as well repaint em!

Yeah, i'm not gonna open mine. I was tempted, but naaaah...If i break him, then its a pain to fix'm. I have a broken transmetal BW megatron that i'm still pretty distraught over.

I could'nt afford him at $60, so when i saw the discount lastnight, i was pretty thrilled over it.
