Yikes, hard decision.

Both transformations are really fun and good to do, and are different enough it's not like it's the same figure.

Jet modes are both really solid. I would hand the RotF leader the slightly better jet mode overall, but it also depends on how you feel about tattoos vs. regular F22 paint work.

Robot modes both have strengths and weaknesses. RotF leader feels more solid, but is backheavy and needs ankle tilts and wrist swivels. MPM is much more detailed and accurate, and is more balanced, but lack of bicep swivels and the loose shoulder kinda negate that.

Overall, I can't really give a recommendation on one or the other. They are both pretty equal to one another in terms of good toys. MPM would win if you are more a stickler for movie accuracy as the 2, but that's about the only way the tie is broken

It's cool to know that they are equal. I love the HFTD Leader. Would you say either or is the best Starscream toy ever released (movie or otherwise) ?

I would have to say no, but both are close to being top of both piles. No other Starscream has really come close to them outside the movies for me, but in all cases, I think the SS figure is the better Starscream and best one made

Target obviously backed the wrong horse on this one. I have been seeing this MPM everywhere, while Scorponok is extremely hard to find. I myself have never personally seen it on a store shelf, though I have seen it's price marker and shelf space reserved for it at a few stores. (I fought with 2 levels of management to get the one I have out of the back room, and my daughter actually saw one on another occasion, no other sightings since).... Imagine if Scorponok was available only 25% as often as MPM Starscream, Target would be be making quite a bit of profit, and certainly no reason to go on clearance.
