Video Review of ToysRus Exclusive: Hasbro Transformers Masterpiece Bluestreak

So I was at TRU yesterday, looking for some CW limbs, when I spotted a MP Sunstorm. I thought about getting it, but for $80 it was a hard sell. I like the character from the DW comics, but the MP figure has some red parts that aren't accurate to the character. Is the figure good to own by itself, or is it just a cheap repaint?

You found one and DIDN'T buy it?! Dang, that's good self control if you like the character. I kinda wish I picked him up and Acid Storm, can never have too many MP's

At 80$ and with a weak-ass chest which doesnt lock, I dont think every seeker is necessary.

It's both. The MP-11 mold is extremely worth having at least one incarnation of, even if you also have one of the old MP-3 mold seekers. It's great. Hasbro Sunstorm is also a lazy repaint. Personally, I'd say if you're not super attached to Sunstorm, I'd wait for Starscream to come out in a couple months.

Gotta have a few in the air..

Man, you guys are convincing me to go back and get the figure now. I don't own any Decepticon MPs.

You need skin number all you do is hit preorder button on website seibertron takes you to page directly

I'd still like to know when he'll be available to order in the U.S. again.

Why are his symbols on his wings upside down?

Because they're supposed to be, I believe, to be accurate to either the toy or the show.

I know and I did that. I was just confirming that it was. That's why I wrote: "it has the right skn number". Which is excellent news since Downshift had said that it had not worked with Devastator.

Huh, I guess I always assumed they were NOT upside down when I watched the show, so I never looked close enough.

They're upside down, partly because that's how they should look with the wings transformed as they are between jet and bot modes. The better question should then be, why are they oriented as they are for jet mode? The reason, as I've been told, is because that is the proper way for markings to be oriented on a fighter jet, such that, if you were another jet in formation, and slightly above the plane ahead of you, you can easily read the markings (they won't look upside down to you). Same goes for markings below. You wouldn't be able to see a jet behind you, so no consideration is given to markings for that position. Same goes for two jets passing in opposite directions. You wouldn't be able to see the markings in ANY orientation moving that fast.

Continuing the tradition of great stock photography, we have the F-15 flaps and ailerons positioned incorrectly in robot mode. Seriously, it must be deliberate by this point lol

Yes, it is just a thing Hasbro apparently wants to be known for.

I was unable to pre-order because they won't ship outside of Canada. Anyone else have this problem?

News article has error in title: This is MP11 mold not MP07.
