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.

I would rather have an MP of a character they haven't done one of yet. Kind of getting the feeling that they're just going to keep doing minor tweaks to the same 5 characters and just run in circles with the MPs.

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.

Really disappointed in this news...was really hoping for something we haven't seen yet..like Soundwave, Shockwave, Galvatron or Ultra Magnus with his trailer...this will probably be the first MP that I won't pre-order...ah well there is always hope for MP-12...

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... :BOOM:

Anybody else find the "Engrish" in this article really difficult to read? Either way, seems like a definite upgrade to the original MP Starscream.

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 ???

What a surprise, now we just need the inevitable MP-11 repaints out of the way, Megatron version 2.0, and maybe we can start getting some new characters. 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.

HHHMMM... maybe, the first masterpiece starscream I had broke due to a molding issue, before I was good at shaving excess plastic. IF it is UNDER $150 an has less kibble I might pick this up

Posted by waaaaghlord on October 20th, 2011 @ 1:15am CDT

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.

Stop it, Starscream's nipples are sore from all the milking!

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.

@Rated X - What I meant was, according to the rumours I've read they have indeed corrected the hip kibble. If they do for Starscream what they did for Optimus, it will be worth it.

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.

Posted by Screamfleet on October 20th, 2011 @ 2:38am CDT

Well...good get it out of the way I guess. If they feel they need to redo it, might as well get to it and move on. I hope they get to new characters and such next time.

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.

Re: Next Takara Masterpiece MP-11 Revealed As Starscream (1302956)
Posted by Mykltron on October 20th, 2011 @ 5:24am CDT

Why aren't they listening to the fans? These are so expensive they're clearly aimed at adults and we want new characters. We also want to be able to understand the text about the figure.

Posted by Rodimus Prime on October 20th, 2011 @ 5:24am CDT

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.

Posted by TCWJoe on October 20th, 2011 @ 5:43am CDT

HASTAK,

Deco the hologram/pilot as Cobra Commander or his "old Snake" alias if you don't want to contaminate the toy lines. That might make it somewhat interesting rather than a generic dude in there.

Posted by Megazarak on October 20th, 2011 @ 5:53am CDT

If they really wanted to redo a character, why not redo Megatron? He's the most in need of a remake, what with him being gigantic and lanky and all. Even make him G2 if they want (that may actually be preferable, because that way Hasbro would probably be able to bring it over). Or even Ultra Magnus with his correct trailer. But Starscream? Probably around the same size as the one currently available? That's quite the odd choice even when considering remaking one of the original MP figures and not just in general where there are a lot of characters deserving of the MP treatment other than the few already made.

Ah, so it's going to be a triple-changer. Robot, to aeroplane, to bird of prey.

Me senses a case of mis-translation.

I do find this news a little disappointing. Hope it's not long before Takara get back to original characters.

Kapow toys have some pictures HERE

If it had been something totally new then maybe. I have too many seekers as it is.

Re: Next Takara Masterpiece MP-11 Revealed As Starscream (1302972)
Posted by WolfDawg on October 20th, 2011 @ 7:30am CDT

I can't help be see this a Takara taking note of all the 3rd party seekers and accessories. I mean, they've given him the cape and crown, AND will most likely have fixed the kibble problem. There's little reason to get the 3rd party figures unless you just want the repaints (which Takara will inevitably make themselves).

Re: Next Takara Masterpiece MP-11 Revealed As Starscream (1302973)
Posted by SJ21 on October 20th, 2011 @ 7:32am CDT

Pass. I already have a MP Starscream. I don't need a more expensive, smaller version of him.

Give me something new.

Re: Next Takara Masterpiece MP-11 Revealed As Starscream (1302974)
Posted by autobotOG on October 20th, 2011 @ 7:40am CDT

Def a pass for me. I was ok with mp10, only cause im a prime freak, but really?? More masterpiece seekers?? (Cause you know mp thundercracker and skywarp will undoubtedly be 12 and 13). Something new takara! Mp IRONHIDE, SOUNDWAVE, GALVATRON, ULTRA MAGNUS...I would bounce at the oppurtunity to get any of those!!

I am personally happy with this I. I do not have the MP Starscream on G1 color scheme yet. I'm glad there are bonus accessories as well.

Site sponsor Kapow Toys has listed a pre-order with images of the recently discovered MP-11 Starscream set. Unlike MP-10 Convoy Version 2.0 this does not appear to be a new figure, rather a reuse of the previous Masterpiece Starscream mold with possible remolding, new coronation accessories, and a holographic pilot. The figure is priced a £139.99 and scheduled to release in 2012.

Click here for the pre-order, image mirrored below.

PRE-ORDER MP-11A Masterpiece Starscream - Due 2012 - Masterpiece Starscream comes with added corontation kit which includes a crown, cape and shoulder pads, he also includes a new hologram pilot - ages 16+ please refer to our terms and conditions for more information on pre-orders- Price maybe subject to change.

I'm not too sure about this. If the picture on Kapow is accurate (which I question), then the cape looks strange to me and it doesn't look like the feet have ankle joints.

And then there's cost-it's 139 euros, that's going to be about 200 dollars. And that, unless this turns out to be an amazing new figure, means a big pass by me.

Legs/feet are different. Looks like he may have supports behind the thruster parts of his feet.

The Kapow listing is £139.99 (UK Pounds, we dont do Euros). According to xe.com that is $220.

Lol that looks like they re-molded the figure to resemble the original prototype.
I knew waiting would pay off.
But I already have a full set of classics Seekers, do I really want to go throught he same crap again for MP scale figures?

Ah, good catch-I missed that. And if that's the case, even worse for a potential remold.

The more I think about it the angrier I get, thats nearly twice the price it should be. Im sure the old seekers were about £80 to the UK. Its a rip off.

Totally and utterly pointless. We get few enough of these things and to blow a slot on this is pretty unforgivable. I already have all the MP Starscream I'm ever going to need. And Skywarp, and Thundercracker and I never cared enough about the coneheads to want to spend MP money on them so enough is definitely enough.

Somewhere Waylon Smithers is shouting and pointing "but he has a new hat.....!!!"

New characters only Hastak or you don't get my money from now on.

absolute waste of time. why not release something people actually WANT like a masterpiece Galvatron?

For that price you can buy 2 of the iGear reworked seekers.

Re: Next Takara Masterpiece MP-11 Revealed As Starscream (1303027)
Posted by alternator77 on October 20th, 2011 @ 9:26am CDT

a few thoughts on this
the bad
1)im really dissapointed with this personally
2)for 200 bucks i expect more sorry takara
3)its looking more and more like a magnus will be at least 3-400 dollars the way these are priced.
the good
1)if it is a remold then it gives those who dont have tc a chance to get an official trio of seekers albeit for nosebleed prices
2)if they rethink the pricing this would possibly shut igear out of the picture(not completely)
3)a slight bit of hope that theyll do the coneheads because thats all i want.
>:oP

the really bad another 30-40 threads about this mp :BANG_HEAD:

all in all takara has saved me a buttload of money >:oP

What I'm gathering from this is that MPs are gonna cost $200 from now on.

I have to admit, both SS and OP are impressive, but $200 isn't chump change. What's justifying this? A gigantic plastic cape?

Posted by Prime Evil on October 20th, 2011 @ 9:33am CDT

*sigh*
This should have been done the FIRST TIME. I would have bought this back in the day, even at $200, but I really cannot justify the cost for this. IDK, I love Screamer, but in this day and age of financial hardship, it's pick and choose and I don't think I can choose this as much as I want to, especially for a figure I basically have already.

Looks like more of my money is going to 3rd parties (again) for 2012.
