This new version of Starscream still retains a splendid alt. mode, yet since I'm displaying figures in their robot modes, I couldn't be happier with my old MP-11; unless a never-made-before Seeker get released, I don't think I'll ever bother with this specific mold.
I miss the times when the line tried to merge the looks of classical toys and their animated counterparts, cramming them with extra detail; I also feel disappointed with this specific release since it'll probably mean we won't get another new Decepticon in a while, as Seekers always come in (at least) three - and I can't help but fear that even Soundwave will eventually get remade.

It will come together with an Optimus Prime body, for simmetry. And to double its price.

It looks a little too... Cartoony.
I know, I know, That's the whole point, But it feels a bit excessive.
Hrm.

Where is Mirage? Jazz? Insecticons? Reflector? Any of the minibots besides Bumblebee?

Or how about any of these amazing candidates that don't need licenses: Blaster, Perceptor, Scourge, Cyclonus, Kup, Blurr, Galvatron, Springer or any of the other season 3 guys? Heck, I'd take a Masterpiece Sharkticon at this point over another Transformer that's already gotten the Masterpiece treatment already. We've been collecting this line for 16 years! I'd really like to have the season 1 cast completed finally or the season 2 cast before redoing these other guys for a 2nd or 3rd time.

My Kingdom for MP headmasters. Especially Apeface and Snapdragon.

Keep in mind this is a fans rendering. In hand it could look much different.

$275 is freaking steep!
That really is pretty tough to justify.
I'm definitely holding off for now... Sure, I can save up for a couple months, I'm just not sure I even want to. Geesh.

I wouldn't worry just yet, let's see what Amazon JP puts the figure up for.

The new photo isn't a fan rendering/coloring, he's in poses we haven't seen before so it would be strange for it to be digitally painted.
I'll brag about being correct about the price once Japanese pre-orders go up.

Around $200 on Amazon Japan, but more precisely I said his price would mirror Black Convoy's price, and so far the pre-orders are right in line with that (MP-49 is $270 on TFSource compared to Starscream's $275). It's a far cry from the $400 a lot of people were expecting.

Good guess for mirroring black convoy, makes the most sense. I didn't think it would go up to 400 but I definitely saw the SRP as reaching the 300$ mark. If it is indeed 25$ cheaper, than I am happy for everyone.

When the preorder go live, it will be a struggle not to strike.
Because lately, live have not been kind...

Hey, it's a good reason to keep MP-11, too. And the art style of the scene did make him look a little different.
⠀
It would be a very nice touch is MP-11's Coronation gear is compatible with this newer Screamers.

I like that comparison. Showing the mechanical seams. One of those rare instances when they remind you these are alien robots and not people in robot suits. Before modern iterations gave them "blood" and such..
Posted by Cyberpath on October 8th, 2020 @ 9:44am CDT
Whenever they show a robot's "insides" it's generally detailed.

All those talking about necessary accessories for Starscream. Just be thankful we haven't had HasTak or a 3P offer up the Zone attachments to the combiners (and Trypticon).

THAT Amazon dosen't count. It's a 3P seller using the Amazon.JP site.
I'm waiting for the REAL listing, meaning from Amazon.JP themselves. The price will be the right one, and they ship internationally.

Yep, same here. If AmiAmi is asking roughly $203 US, I suspect Amazon will be around $195 and cheaper/faster shipping.

This is going to be really tough to pass up... And I've waited for a long time to have MP SS next to my Megatron and Soundwave.
Sidenote, I personally think MP-44 looks a ton better than MP-10.
