Hasbro has just revealed Transformers Movie Masterpiece MPM-10 Starsream on their Transformers Facebook page.

Here is what they posted:

JUST REVEALED: #Transformers Movie Masterpiece Series MPM-10 Starscream! 50 points of articulation , die cast parts , highly posable hands and moveable mouth, missile and buzz saw arm attachments, and Gatling blaster accessory. Available September 2020.

Now here's the big question, from the image we see, do you feel he is that big an improvement over the HFTD Leader Class Starscream, who many find to be one of the best movie toys of all time.

Check out an extensive preview via a very impressive stop-motion video here:

I just want to see how they handle the undercarriage, that's always been the main (only?) issue with this design on toy form.

Posted: **Mon Apr 13, 2020 7:43 am**

I'm pretty excited for this.
I hope the raised wings so high are only the usual misstransformation silyness.

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

Hot on the heels of their Facebook reveal of Masterpiece Movie 10, Starscream, comes a new stop motion video showing this forthcoming toy off. The video was uploaded to YouTube by YouTuber Kai Lin Check the video out for yourself.

In the video you can Starscream flexing all his joints and moveable parts and a glimpse of his transformation, and the two weapons he comes with.

What do you think of this Starscream? Will he be pride of place in your display?

Oh momma, that’s nice...

Interesting how they went for the middleground between the flat gray of the MV1 model and toys and the more tan-ish color (and tatts) of the ROTF model/toys. Either way, he looks amazing!

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

Figured it will be close to MPM Megs price wise.
As for the size, maybe it would be the same size as the old ROTF leader or slightly bigger. If it's the same size as the old leader, the comparison between the two will be VERY interesting.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm not impressed--and I so far really enjoy the MPM line. For a second, I thought it was an old leader class promo--so many similarities. As with all jet modes, the alt mode underside is what makes or breaks a fig for me. Though the leader class looked like a pregnant YF-22, at least it was relatively streamlined. The quick view of the underside of the MPM just showed a mess of kibble a-la movie Jetfire (original or SS). Going to save my money on this one.

Posted: **Mon Apr 13, 2020 10:05 am**

He looks pretty solid, but unlike MPM Megatron who was an enormous improvement over existing figures, I'm not super compelled to get this guy since I have the studio series version.

I do think because of that this guy will get some unfair bashing. But overall he looks like a pretty solid effort to me. I think the jet underbelly can only get so good and personally I don't really care.

Posted: **Mon Apr 13, 2020 10:28 am**

The vehicle mode is fairly kibbly on the underside, but the robot mode looks so perfect it doesn't bother me that much. That robot mode articulation is insane, particularly with the torso sides and the wings! They included all the weapons, finally got all the proportions right, it's incredible. I just hope the QC is ok, Megatron and Jazz hopefully show that they've recovered from Ironhide.

Posted: **Mon Apr 13, 2020 10:52 am**

The robot mode is super awesome. It looks waaaaaaaay more accurate than the leader class one. Just as quick examples,it's the first movie Starscream toy with an accurate back ever, and the first one since the 2007 line to have an accurate chest. The jet mode, however, looks like it will be quite bad, with the whole lower body just stuck there hoping nobody will notice.

They still can't clean up the underside on a masterpiece? They managed to do it on the ROTF voyager class figure. It's like they just don't care anymore. Sad when official toy manufacturers can barely keep pace with knockoff manufacturers.

The ROTF toy had obvious hands sticking out of the jet mode. Plus that bot look like complete garbage.

The MPM (and the leader) may have compromised underbelly, but they don't stick out too much and the bots are pure perfection.

Last time they went for a perfect jet in the Masterpiece line was for MP-03 Starscream and his bot mode was heavily sacrificed in doing so.

MPM-10 has obvious everything sticking out of the jet mode.

If you like this MPM nonsense, hey, good for you. If I want a halfassed toy, I will stick with the Black Mamba at a third of the price.

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.

Posted: **Mon Apr 13, 2020 12:20 pm**

He looks amazing.

I do this display often but obviously, the underside face the wall.

Also, I can forgive a jetformer to be a total mess under. As long that it's not sticking out too much from the side and nothing is visible above.

Those who want perfect jets better stick with bots that have the vehicle mode as top priority like the classic Gobots from the 1980's.

Posted: **Mon Apr 13, 2020 1:17 pm**

I was being extreme when I said that Krana :lol:

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.

Posted: **Mon Apr 13, 2020 1:27 pm**

I like how MPM-1 and MPM-10 are both Starscreams, comparable to MP-1 and MP-10 both being Optimus Primes (aka Convoys).

Posted: **Mon Apr 13, 2020 2:44 pm**

That robot mode looks great, but the jet mode deco is a fail with those blue spots on there. I love the HFTD leader, and if I get this figure, it'll strictly be in robot mode, with that one in jet mode.

Posted: **Mon Apr 13, 2020 2:51 pm**

I was going to ask what you meant by blue on the wings as the pictures I'd seen didn't have any blue till I saw that one of them did. How curious that the others didn't.
