I hope the raised wings so high are only the usual misstransformation silyness.

I wonder how big it will be and it's price.

I would be very surprised if it's less than 200 CAD

ZeroWolf wrote:How many people look at the jet toys from underneath? Even if you display in alt mode. You'll be looking at above. No one is going to be displaying this by balancing the jet on his rear end.

Rodimus Prime wrote:I'm thinking that as well, because blue just wouldn't make sense. In none of the movies Starscream was in was he any type of blue. Or white, either. The more I look at these shots, the more I'm convinced I should just stick with the HFTD figure.

Ironhidensh wrote:Articulation looks amazing, but something about this just leaves me disappointed. it just seems like it should be so much more than the original leader class and Studio Series than it is.

I dunno.

ZeroWolf wrote:I was being extreme when I said that Krana I didn't realise anyone actually did it! No offence but yeah expecting a perfectly clean jet mode is unnecessary. The robot is the main attraction. The vehicle here looks fine as is, and clearly you don't need to display with the hand weapons attached, thats just a place to store them for vehicle mode if you so wish.

MadProject wrote:really cool figure, I wonder how it will scale with the other ones, especially in vehicle mode.

DeathReviews wrote:Not a fan of Bayverse figures, so this one's a pass. Seriously - how can anyone look at this and say, 'Yeah, that's Starscream'? Obviously a lot of thought and engineering was put into it, I'll give them that. But this just isn't Starscream.

I can!

It’s just a matter of what we grew up with and what we enjoy.

It’s just a matter of what we grew up with and what we enjoy. When I think “Starscream”, I think of this design before the blue and red F-15, but I know that most people are probably more familiar with the G1-style appearance.

That’s a huge part of what I like so much about the Bay movies - They went all out in creating awesome, super detailed reimaginings of characters that - while retaining some hints of the originals - really let the designers get creative and do something new (and IMO way cooler).

I feel like I'm in an interesting spot because, I really do not like most of the movie designs in the actual movies (I feel like they're overdesigned), but put them in toy form, even Masterpiece toy form, and (by necessity of making the design into a toy) they're simplified juuuuuuuuuuust enough that they become much more interesting to look at, the "broad strokes" of the design start to stand out more against the smaller more granular details. This MPM Starscream is way more enjoyable for me to look at than how the design is in the actual movie itself. Still not what would come to mind immediately as a "good Starscream", but I kind of think of/appreciate the movie designs in their own little bubble.

In what sense?
