Toy News Rumors Sightings

Rumors have been brewing for a couple weeks regarding pictures of an anime repainted MP Starscream. A few days ago we posted pictures of the repaint here. Information has been speculating that the repaint may be the Masterpiece Starscream that Hasbro has mentioned a while back.

An auction of the alleged prototype has now surfaced on eBay. eBay seller, minmeiiloveyou, claims that it is not a repaint but an official test shot. The figure features red plastic and white plastic. Some places are still not fully painted; and some places exhibited painted weathering. A picture of the copyright stamp says Takara.

Click here to see the auction.

I could be wrong, but It does bear more classic hallmarks of hasbro's work- overdone batlle damage and the like. Just thinking fan work wouldn't go so crazy, and I may be picky, but if fans would go to this much trouble, would they not use a lighter-more-anime like blue?
Either way, looks very nice!!

You know, I just wish that Hasbro would go ahead and announce or denounce a repainted MP Starscream so I won't hurt my head thinking if this real or fake!

If this is legit, I wonder if Hasbro will wait until the movie has been released before announcing this.

At first I liked the original. After these pics I like the repaint.

You'll forgive me if I curb my enthusiasm for the time being... I would REALLY like to see something official stating that this is more than just an elaborate custom.

This has "Big Botcon Announcement" written all over it. I love the crown decal. Glad I waited!

I'm not digging the Decepticon symbols being placed upside down in robot mode. They have two sets of symbols in both modes. Hopefully they'll fix that before it's released!

I love inversed insignias in robotmode on Seekers. I put them that way so I hope they stay that way.

Um, it'd be hard to achive an anime accurate scheme without having them upsidedown...

Anyway, yeah, if it wasnt for the god aweful 'battle damage/dirt/god knows what that would be one badass paint job.

Well if this is an updated version for release in the Takara Masterpiece line, then great!! finally!!!

if this is a Hasbro release, lets hope they decide to release it with a special DVD of Starscream's finest moments..and coronation gear!!!

Im glad its got some dirt ( although it looks a bit overdone ). If it was clean solid paint it would lose some realism and that used look. Makes it look less of a cartoon.

Looks great but why are the Decepticon logo's upside down in botmode, it looks stupid.

This is one of those strange issues with the cartoon. Didnt they appear both right side up and upside down in the cartoon?

Not entirly sure, but on the toy, and I think in alt mode on the cartoon, they were always that way up.

That is unfortunately how he appeared in the cartoon and has always been a bugbear of mine
