I still don't know how I feel about this figure. I'd rather have a Hasbro Thundercracker.

I think this is a pass for me. That clear plastic is too brittle to be used for some rather important parts of this mould. And even if it was kept for display, it seems to be missing a few 'paint' apps that should be translucent blue, his hands and shin guard things. The clear hands just look odd.

I also hope that those hands are fixed, how brittle will it be, henkei GHOST SS is fine.

What do some of you guys do with your tranformers? Everyone always talks about how brittle this mold is. I've transformed all of my MP Seekers several times and not had a problem. They mainly stay on the shelf a day or two after I buy them. I don't think brittleness is something to worry about unless you're reenacting Galvatron turning Starscream into a ghost.

Nice, but predictable.

I don't know why, but this figure does nothing for me. Agree with comment above-let's have a Hasbro Thundercracker release.

Well, 2 things. You'll have to wait until after MP Grimlock. And Takara releasing this has no bearing on Hasbro releasing Thundercracker. That being said, I'd like a hasbro release of thundercracker too. They need to fix his chest.

I have never had a problem with my Takara MP Skywarp, but the US edition MP Starscream? The wings snapped off the first time I transformed it. The black double hinge was far far too tight, and the white plastic that it attached to far too brittle. I removed the black piece and loosened it, and fabricated a replacement end for the white parts that had snapped from aluminium. Fixed, but what a lot of work.

Sounds more like a QC issue. My SS is fine...

I, for one, am excited about this figure. I don't quite get how Henkei Ghost Starscream caused stiffies galore, yet there's an utter lack of excitement for this... For the price (and the superior mold to boot) this is WAAAAAY more exciting to me.

Dealers will be selling EVERYTHING at Botcon.

I figured that before people are let into the dealer room, that one of every TF figure could be found in that room.

Cool, I hope to snag this guy...even better if somebody is selling one out the box for a little cheaper.

I bought a US version of MP Skywarp, and it's a lot tougher than I thought it would be. I agree about Starscream being kinda fragile, because my friend (GEEWUN, who also posted here) has one, and he seems a less durable. He seemed somewhat... floppy compared to Skywarp. That is a pretty cool ghost Starscream figure by the way.

I wasn't insulting him, I was merely stating that Skywarp seems more durable.
