Next Takara Masterpiece MP-11 Revealed As Starscream

cool,sign me up,i'll pre-order on from BBTS.com when pre-orders open.

I'm impressed with Takara,it looks like the trend of getting 2 new mold MP TF toys per year is in full swing.

Sounds like a win, cartoon coloring with Takara's attention to detail.
Hopefully it's got some new molds, or at the least fixed hip kibble.

Lame...maybe. Will have to see how they have this one turn out. But I swear if MP-12 is a retool of Grimlock with Cartoon Accurate Height...

I got the Hasbro version and I honestly dont see anything Takara can do to improve it paint wise. Maybe thats why they are throwing in the coronation set as a bonus.

The real question is will Takara fire back at I-gear and use the fuselage/leg modification ???

Or will they stay with the crappy hip kibble ???

I'd throw Grimlock version 2.0 in there to, but I feel like Takara did an unofficial reboot of the MP line with the last Grimlock.

Agreed. Although I'd like to see new characters I think there is potential here. Make Starscream, Skywarp and Thundercracker as well as a 2.0 Megatron and Ultra Magnus and I'll be happy.

Grimlock is perfect as far as I'm concerned.

Now bring on some new characters! Soundwave, Shockwave, Galvatron on the 'cons side would be nice. Most of the 'bots have been covered in the Binaltech/alt line. A new Ironhide would be cool.

I've already got the Hasbro Starscream and 3rd party coronation set. The deciders on this version will be the kibble and whether we're getting the rest of the Seekers with matching decos and no assembly errors. At this stage though it looks as though the igear option is winning out, which is kind of a shame, but they're putting out what I want at what will certainly prove to be a better price point. I will wait for pictures before making a final decision but Takara really need to impress me to get my money on this one.

Haha, this will be fun with the F-15 and all.

If we could get the fandom to unite and not buy an MP of a figure that we already have a MP of, we might get different characters.

After this, my vote goes for MP Erector.

I can honestly say im not surprised. sad and a bit dissapointed yes, but surprised no. dont get me wrong, I love me some screamer. and would totaly love a better mp screamer, even though I love the current one. but he is the seond most over used mold right after the origional mp prime.

I was hopeing mostly for a galvatron to face off against my roddy.

I'm a #1 Starscream fan. I have both the Hasbro version and the Ghost version. I wonder what more can they add? The vehicle mode is just PERFECT and the robot mode is too. Well, beside fixing the obvious hip kibbles (which I did enyway by just popping them out of the ball joint and attaching them to the lower-legs). I could just pick him up if it don't come out with a rape price.

I can't wait to see the actual pictures.

Wow, disappointing. The only thing I can think of that would be on the plus side of this is if Takara uses this new mold to make all 6 Seekers, plus Sunstorm. I'd buy a MP Sunstorm in a heartbeat.
