Awesome..... I think I have to resist this fellow in hopes that we'll see anime Screamer

I love the spelling of colour with a u. I think we should spell it that way in the U.S. .... it just sounds cooler. Aside from that I keep looking at my masterpiece megatron and starscream and I keep thinking, skywarp. How's this for insane, I almost bought that kit-bash on ebay for like well over $600.00. Then I almost was going to start looking for a masterpiece starscream to paint myself. I'm glad I didn't do either. I can't wait to see best story of skywarp! I wonder what they think his best episodes are? What do you guys think they should be? I think that one where chip chase puts that circle controller thing on his leg and makes him shoot megatron at rumble. Hilarious! I wonder what he might come with... energon cubes? What other things could he have? Who will be able to ride inside? I must know!

Swerve wrote:I can't say this is much of a surprise. I think everyone was expecting a repaint and Skywarp is pretty popular. I'm surprised no one is complaining about it really. It appears that Skywarp will have many of the same issues people complained about with Starscream. If you look closesly at the feet in the picture, they look exactly he same as Starscream's. I don't think Takara can mess with Skywap's color scheme much to make it more realistic, Skywarp has a fairly realistic paint app already.

All this talk reminds me of the customs I have seen and that book you can find on ebay to repaint your Starscream into Thundercracker/Skywarp.

Is it me or do these repaints look a hell of a lot better then thew original Starscream released? I hated the realistic low visibility coloring, some like it, some don't.. I fall into the Don't category.. It was fine in the original show, these are Transformers.. not and I repeat not MAcross!!! If they have unrealisitc coloring then so be it.. as long as the robots and alt modes are realistic.. it works.. I mean look at that Thundercracker in Light Blue, he's freaking Awesome!! and Skywarp is off the heesy... I especially love the clear coat painting of the cockpit sheild to yellow, so vintage and so swett...they should do that for the others coming out..

Takara really needs a redecoed starscream to follow up on their repaint of this Skywarp.. but I'm okay with themn holding off until after Thundercracker is released.. then a redone and accurate Starscream, with coronation garb.. now that would sell out!!

Oh and a special Starscream Ghost would be badass too, i mean imagine him clear with a light hazing of white.. and his eye piping with red..now that would be special..

I own my own company, you gotta think big!!!

I love it when i play City of Heroes during the work day, and some people who took the day off work are there and they ask me stuff, and I tell them I'm at work, they flip out, until I tell them i own my own company and that's why I can play around..Sometimes...lately I've been busting my arse... and speaking of which I have to now go shower and go to work..after lunch ofcourse...

Speaking of Wish list lets just do it: WISH LIST

Mp-07 Thundercracker
MP-08 Starscream Complete (repaint/Coronation gear)
MP-09 Rodimus Prime
MP-10 Ultra Magnus Complete

MPM-03 Megatron
MPM-04 Starscream
MPM-05 Blackout
MPM-06 Bonecrusher
MPM-07 Barricade

That's pretty much it for my wish list..

I must admit my MP wish list is pretty big too. Like every character in G1 lol.

Mine is like.....

MP-07 Thundercracker
MP-08 Grimlock
MP-09 Dirge
MP-10 Soundwave
MP-11 Thrust
MP-12 Reflector
MP-13 Ramjet
MP-14 Inferno
MP-15 Soundblaster
MP-16 Grapple
MP-17 Devastator lol.

My wishlist consists of *Starscream*... already there are more coming out than I can handle I think.

My MP wishlist...

No chance in Hades, but Doublecross. He'd be a giant two-headed die-cast and plastic dragon of awesomeness that'd rock my socks clear off. MP Dinobots would also do much sock-rocking, as would a combiner team like the Predacons or Terrorcons. Dude, that'd be one ginormous Gestalt...

Also, part of me wouldn't mind the MP line extending to other continuities...

Masterpiece Huffer or bust!

See now my girl is going to get mad when I buy a repaint for 100 bucks...Thanks Takara, thanks. He better have some kick ass accesories! And this paint job better make me want to wet myself.

BTW: MP-05 freaking amazing!

Yippee... Just as pointless as Magnus.

Hi, Rainbow! Long time, no chat.

the seekers are great but this is just an easy way out for takara in my opinion. it really isn't mp-6 but more like mp-03a, especially if the same mold is being used which i think is way too small to begin with.

Yes, wth is up with that. They were MAJOR characters till the movie. OK, so Ironhide was a minivan. Is this just minivan bias?

My MP Prime needs an Ironhide Alt. to call old friend!

Dodge Ram Prime was perfect for Ironhide, I thought. It really was a missed opportunity.

From what I heard, the Alternators Prime was supposed to be Ironhide, but because pickup trucks aren't as common and recognizable in Japan, they made its robot mode into a more well known character, namely, Optimus Prime.

This is awesome! I'm glad we're getting this. We all knew they would capitalize on a pre-existing molds from the MP Starscream.

Now are they going to get the colours right? I dunno. He may have small hints of the G1 colors on his body the same way as Screamer has his now. I wish they could correct this.

I just got my MP Megatron and love it! Meggy could really use a MP Skywarp henchman by his side.

I dunno...I might just pass on this, I mean, setting the colors aside, is Starscream worth the money? If he is, I might get Skywarp and wait later to see if they color correct Starscream later on.

All Good, but how about an accurate Starscream repaint first. Also the size of this mold doesn't go well with Megatron and Prime. I say they start over or just resize it. Also there must at least be a different face sculpt for each seeker, and of course the other seekers should be different all together.

Glad to hear it! There't two things that I hope happen:

1) Skywarp is in 'classic' colors.
2) They give us another new mold for MP-07, before they issue a Thundercrack or another seeker repaint.

Dont we Already have a skywarp? I mean That Starscream is Skywarp. The next mp Should Be thundercrakcer though.

BBTS has Skywarp up for pre-order now.

yeah, I'm stoked!Thundercraker will not be far off.

If you haven't gotten an MP starscream yet, then don't! I am almost certin they will release a correct color one. especially if Skywarp sells well. I agree, they should up size them to like 115% and let us who bought a screamer turn ours in for a G1 accurate colored one. I was kinda disapointed when I got mine and he wasn't colored. the toy itself is awsome, but the coloring sux. I want my real Starscream!

At least they kept his colour scheme predominatley black.
Worst thing they couls have done was make him mainly purple like his Cybertron counterpart.

Good to see Skywarp coming back into the limelight after he was looked over in Galaxy Force/Cybertron and Titaniums in favour for his blue based "brother"

*sarcasm* Well, I never saw this coming. *sarcasm* Really, I think the Starscream/Thundercracker/Skywarp thing is getting too old. At least they don't take as long as creatng one from scratch though, all it takes is a new paint job, then Thundercracker, & then we have MP-08, who I still hope is Soundwave or Shockwave.............
