Greetings Seibertronians! From the intrepid sleuthing of fellow Seibertron user, Cyberpath, we've learned that the Facebook account, Bots and Bits has posted up images purporting to show grey prototype images of Masterpiece Starscream Version 2.0! According to the Facebook post, these images were found on Baidu.

As you can see from these images, there isn't much detail on the pieces being only a prototype, poor old screamer doesn't even have a face yet!

Again, it must be pointed out that while this is the third Starscream Masterpiece toy, Takara Tomy are treating it as Version 2.0, owning to the fact that MP 03 and MP 11 both come from the same source figure.

What do you think of this prototype? Are you itching to see the finished product or just dreading the price? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

Extra wings on the back look like possible tetra jet mode? The back of the wings has a second smaller set of wings on a hinge that is out of place.

the shapes on these parts line up with the hinges on the folded wing flaps. more then likely these are part of the wings that pull out and are used to cover/hide/hold other back kibble in place.

Comment by Nemesis Maximo Aug 24, 2020

I for one am super stoked about this. I’ve been ready for a new MP Starscream ever since I got MP-11.

Yeah that’s right, I never really even liked either of the first MP Screamers.

Well there goes like $300+ x 3 or however many times they want to release this mold in different colors.

I think those might be the tail fins from Jet mode.

Looks like 2.0 is going more for the animated look this time around.

Hell, I want the prototype just for starscreams death scene in the movie.

So apparently there are people that think Starscream v2 is just fine despite his terrible potbelly cockpit. Why do are more people not talking about that? The damn things upside down.

Comment by Immortal Starscream Aug 24, 2020

thing to keep in mind on this one is that this is very early prototype to show how things should roughly work. so proportions are off, parts and details are missing. (not that there will be much more in the way of detail since this is going for a toon look) so this proto isn't a good indication of the final product, more of an indication of where joints should be, and how it should articulate/transform. Kind of like the old G1 prototypes are were made of wooden blocks pegged together.

His null Ray's aren't screen accurate. C'mon, takara, this isn't earthrise, either all of it is animation accurate as possible or none of it is.

Apparently, the underside of the jet wings opens up to allow the back ends of the jet to fold up into them in robot mode, meaning those smaller wings on the back of the main wings in robot mode are the jet's rear stabilizers.

Would have been nice if they could have kept the back of the wings with out the folded up parts but the legs are looking really clean. the chest/cockpit looks better for no visible opening hinge (fingers crossed the canopy can still open) and looks better for being smaller.

Null rays just look odd here so not sure why even a prototype would have been tooled that way or if some other character would use the ones pictured.

Picked up my crappy ko off the shelve to have a play with and compare differences, that was a mistake. even if the new one was a piece of garbage or has self exploding crotch issues it is still going to win over my KO any day of the week. Looking forward to replacing it but not so sure I'd go for all the other seekers in the new version.

I think his cannons are folded in this prototype.

Comment by Mindmaster Aug 24, 2020

I’ll be honest, I’m taken aback at how much I like this. Like I like my MP-11 crew enough that I don’t necessarily need this but even then I might go for a version of this.

I’m..... just not looking forward to the price...

The front looks really good! I'm not looking forward to that mess of panels on the back. Hopefully the accessories don't bump up the price to an obscene amount.

That's my concern as well. This figure has no electronics so it wont be in the upper price range. MP-49 Black Convoy was 28,000JPY, but can be had for under 20,000JPY in places. Considering his size and complexity I think he's the closest to what we can expect from Starscream. The problem is the accessories like full coronation gear and most likely a new flight stand, that could really drive up the price. We've seen what that sort of thing can do to prices with the MP Beast Wars figures so it's a pretty realistic fear.

Not that it will happen but imagine if Takara put screamer in a boxset with Thundercracker and Skywarp from the get go :-?

:-?

Double post.

Might as well point the obvious by saying I wonder what will be the ammount of useless crap included in the box and how much will the thing cost?

Shudder. Just thinking of the price of that would give me nightmares.

I do hope that when we do get the Thundercracker and Skywarp reprints, they'll at least come with their own flight stands so you can at least pose all of them together without needing to buy additional stands like some of the MP Beast Wars figures.
