Listing for Transformers Movie Masterpiece MPM Starscream Among Latest Takara Listings

Posted by william-james88 Mar 20, 2020 at 8:13am CDT 35,123 views
While we have had a rumour of Transformers MPM 10 Starsrcream for almost TWO years now, we now have an actual listing and release date.

The listing, among many others, was posted on Loopaza Mega Store's Facebook page. It will be coming out in September 2020 and the price is 20000 Yen (so around $180 USD) but remember that retail prices in Japan are usually at 20-30% less than the SRP, reflecting the usual US price.

The other listings are for upcoming Studio Series figures and all the Walmart Netflix series exclusives. So Japan will be getting these too, and they do not seem to be exclusives there so international fans who do not have Walmarts could possibly order from Amazon Japan or other Japanese outlets to get these.

The rumor behind Starscream dates all the way back to October 2017 before barricade was even revealed.

YES!

MPM Starscream at last!
I expected him to be as pricey as Megatron because he'll surely be as big.
This MOFO will be sure to be preordered.

Awesome! I can’t wait to see what it looks like, and with a September release date we should be seeing it pretty soon!

What accessories do you all think it’ll include?

The launcher and the saw, presumably.

I wonder if they'll fix the numbering now that they have real MP versions of both Bumblebee and Starscream

Exciting! I'm looking forward to seeing how this stacks up to the RotF leader. From everything I've heard, that figure was fantastic.

It is, even when headless

I don't see them changing the numbering, despite the 2010 Battle Ops and Leader having "replacements" now. They didn't for the G1 line, right?

The difference is, all the G1 MPs are molds actually made for the MP line.

This is immensely exciting news! Apart from MPM Ironhide, which was a mostly okay figure, and from everything I’ve heard about MPM Optimus, none of which was good, the MP movie line has been stellar so far. That might make it the very definition of “hit or miss,” but there’s been way more hits than misses. I do still need to pick up Megatron, but I haven’t heard anything remotely negative about his toy.

And considering what they’ve already done with Leader Starscream, nearly a decade ago, I’m pretty pumped to see what they’re able to do with his character now.

The sheer quality that they’ve put into each figure in the MPM line thus far is staggering. Especially when you consider that they haven’t done any reprints, to get more use out of each individual mold.

True, but that shouldn't matter in logistics, plus there's that both weren't released in Japan as is. Besides, it's a pretty bad idea to change ID tags that people rely on, especially past ones.

I am ready for this, exciting news!

i'm hoping he has the saw, the minigun, and the missiles. I don't think he really needs anything more than that

Maybe a Sam minifig with the missile-stuck-in-eye alternate face?

Would only really work for a DOTM version of Screamer.

If memory serves, DOTM and ROTF Screamer have the same deco.
If MPM Starscream go for the 2007 clean look, I expect the camo repaint to be a given. Then, the "death" accessories could be included.

Apparently in DotM some of his tattoos are covered up.

Also, laughing at you referring to the brazenly-displayed Cybertronian tattoos as "camo" :lol:

Yes it is. 1. Dazzle camouflage has colorful aspects to it to enable the disruption; Starscream's tattoos do not, and cause no such disruption. 2. The tattoos aren't supposed to be camouflage at all; they're Starscream basically writing "I'm an alien warrior robot, you puny insects!" all over himself as part of the Decepticons' "We're not hiding ourselves any more" attitude during ROTF :P

The F-22's unadulterated livery, now, that's actually camouflage.
