This is the Asian market release of this product

I definitely worship at that alter. Though I have the Hasbro release from a few years back, this latest Takara release is the DEFINITIVE version in my eyes, even if still not entirely perfect. Why the black nose cone, for example? I find it interesting that each one of the MP-11 classic Seeker trio has something that makes it not quite "cartoon accurate," but among the three, it's a DIFFERENT set of things for each one. MP-11TC has the black nose cone, as already said. MP-11SW has some embellishments in the form of pin striping on his "pectorals" as well as his wrists and shoulders. MP-11 has those black tabs on the top of the fuselage in alt mode. Weird.

By the way, I've got a question for anyone who's got expert knowledge of the various releases of MP-11 Starscream. What color plastic is the nose cone cast in? The TFwiki page claims that the original Japanese and Asian releases had a blue plastic nose cone painted over in gray to match the rest of fuselage and primary wings. Then, a 2013 Chinese release came along with a nose cone cast in the same or a similar gray plastic to the fuselage, etc. It also featured gray (either painted or cast in gray plastic) tabs to replace the black ones on the top of the jet mode for the original release. My MP-11, however, has the black tabs on the top of the jet AND a gray plastic nose cone. I'm certain it's not painted gray, as you can see light through the plastic from inside to out. So, is something off with the wiki description of these variations? Which release do I likely have?
