New Photos of MP Skywarp and U.S. MP Starscream

Why doesn't Skywarp have a platform? He is displayed using the one with Starscreams name on it?

I think that Skywarp is just a fan-made repaint. That's why it's on a Starscream base.

Explain his purple lower arms. it would be neigh impossible to give his arms and hands that plastic look with a proper color and still be able to pose it.

Lookin good.
Makes the original SS colour scheme look really bad.

Awesome, as long as the base actually says Skywarp and not Starscream I will be very happy.

A couple of people on the TFW2005 boards made it sound like this particular G1 colored MP Starscream is actually a Takara release - not the Hasbro version. Something about Takara's version not having battle damage paint whereas the Hasbro one does.

So... does anyone know if Takara is indeed also (re)releasing MP SS in G1 colors?

no, these will not be released outside the US, so pre-order it through BBTS or something. I did it or, if you're lucky, get one of your friends to buy it for you and save $40.

So many unanswered questions....!

Can anyone confirm that Hasbro is putting out yet another 'battle damaged' masterpiece? (i.e. this beat up starscream. )

If so, can anyone also explain what their malfunction is with doing so? And what the heck is the US retail for this thing supposed to be?

What happened to Takara's refusal to do the MP Starscream mold in anime correct colors? They were adamant in that position at one point.... ?

Ohhh can not wait... I have Skywarp on Pre order...when US Starscream comes out I will be getting 2....

Who cares wether the guy made an MP skywarp or he got a preproduction model off ebay.. it shows us how cool they are gonna look on my shelf!! I especially love that MP US starscream.. I think that skywarp and the MP Japanese starscream are cool.. but I'm gonna label my MP-03 Starscream as a Drone..which means I need 1 more...so

From left to right on my shelf.. it will be..

MP-03 SS (Drone), MP-05 Skywarp, US Wal-Mart Exclusive Starscream, A blank Space for Thundercracker.., MP-03 SS (Drone)...

In the Center with his fist held high will be MP-04 Megatron!!! I may even place the Reissue Soundwave's laser Beak on his arm for effect.. hmm... with a little bit of clear tape..

I might consider letting my MP-03 SS go if there's a Thundercracker release.
