I'm really liking that strange face sculpt. Here's hoping they do a Thrust or Dirge as a more regular, reasonably priced release. I would love to diversify my Con ranks with at least one cone head. Just can't stomach the price they are asking for this guy.

And yet somehow, the "realistic" movie looks goofier than the dated cartoon.

Indeed, and we also know why the back of the cone is white instead of black. I like this. I might have to try to get one.... :-?

The MP Seekers are just ugly to me. The only thing that makes them cool is scale. The proportions are just not quite right. The deluxe coneheads have a better transformation than this. How the hell they get it right and MP just botches it up. After owning both MP seekers I have never, ever been impressed with the look or feel. The seekers need another overhaul.

This is the first conehead, right? I wonder if the transformation is any different...

What is it with being an MP-11NR though?

Exclusive MPs not sold at mass retail don't get new numbers, regardless of retooling and/or being a different character.

Meh......maybe i'll wait for a thrust. I wish this mold would fix those terrible feet. That's the worst part of this mold to me and has kept me from buying any incarnation of it. It needs to be addressed IMO.

Technically, they aren't, its been pointed out in depth how and why they don't match the cartoon appearances, as for everything else, both sides are equally subjective, so your point doesn't hold much >:oP

Im not expecting perfection, but something is a bit elongated on the chest. A lot stems from the jet mode being too perfect for the F-15s. Now the deluxe seekers aren't some awesome feat, but at least the proportions are much better except for the arm blasters. Because of the perfection of the alt-mode for the MP Seekers, the feet suffer. The chest transformation still doesn't quite lock into place. The head sits too far up on the canopy, giving them that strange neck.

Now after looking at the pictures for MP-11NR, I notice how the faux head fits better on the canopy sans transformation, and that helps a whole lot. Some how the proportions seem to look a bit better with that head. If Ramjet looks this good then imagine how Thrust is going to fare. Right now Ramjet is looking better than Starscream in those pics. The MP cars are pretty close to their animation counterparts, yet the Decepticons are still getting the short end from the MP line. The only one that is just awesome is MP Soundwave.

As it stands, this is the best Takara has done with the seeker mold since MP-11 and its prior subsequent repaints.

He certainly does wear that mold well

and I'll give you the chest not tabbing together, I seriously can't believe that hasn't been worked out yet #-o

There is something not quite right with this Ramjet but I cant put my finger on it. I'm tempted to collect the cone heads but Ramjet isn't a must have for me.

From what I've heard, the latest MP TRU exclusive Hasbro Starscream has a way better locking mechanism. Sounds like they tried to fix it. If I can find him at a ToysRUs soon, I'll probably get him to see if he is as bad as the previous ones, or if he has a fixed locking mechanism on the torso.

I had two Mp -7 starscreams and they both had great playability because of them fixing the chest. The red chest turbines are angled inward more to tightly snug around the cockpit.
I can tug on his arms and nothing comes apart.

Sounds like TMan978's copy. Sounds good. That's why I am wanting that one. I actually never got the MP Sunstorm version because I heard the locking mechanism was horrible on that, but now I want Starscream. =P~

I will second that the latest TRU Starscream is rock solid. I don't know if they changed something or if it was dumb luck, but he holds tight. And the only other MP-11 I have to compare him to is Hasbro Sunstorm, who is indeed a sloppy mess. Looks pretty cool though! ;)^

I compared him too my mp -11 starscream.
And the difference seems to be the metal frame holding everything together.
It angles the chest turbines inward more

Ramjet's cockpit torso transforms very differently from the MP-3 and MP-11 versions of this mold:

It sure does. The chest and torso are the same but it looks like all the improvement might be in the cockpit. Looks like there are some extra tabs worked in there. The way the head flips back kind of fixes the odd shoulder proportions too.
He is looking really good.
Why does he have to be such a high priced exclusive? :BANG_HEAD:

Thanks to YouTube Reviewer OptimusPrimeSG and ヲタファ/wotafa we get some early in-depth video reviews of the Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-11NR Ramjet in both English and Japanese! This retool of the Masterpiece 11 Starscream mold was just release overseas and should be coming to your favorite online retailer very soon! Excited for this release? Let us know in the Seibertron.com Forums here, and remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates!

I'll stick with my Classics versions. This mold looks great in Jet mode but isn't my jam in bot mode. So much that i dislike about it. What a shame they couldn't be sorted out with the coneheads.

Anyone else got this guy?

Mine arrived over the weekend and I'm struggling to get the shoulders tabbed in correctly in jet mode, which makes his Alt mode redundant.

I watched Optibotimus's review and he suggested that the shoulders were miss-assembled. However he was still able to get his shoulders tabbed in with a little force, I'm not even able to do that.

Anyone else having this issue, or is it just my figure?

Everyone has this issue, it is a production wide problem. Suppsoedly, Takara is working on getting replacement parts. BBTS is sending their Ramjets to customers this week so be ready to be far less alone. You should contact the company you purchased him from asap.

No, not at all, but at the fact that it doesnt come with a coin. I didnt realize that either and I am now surprised by this tidbit you shared

Yeah. I just assumed it had been discussed already.

But all the other TakaraTomyMall exclusives have had coins no? Skywarp, Thundercracker, Clampdown. Hell, even the UW TTM exclusives (Grande Convoy). Weird eh? :-?

Very. It is 20$ less than the other MP jets though, dont know if that is in any way related.

Opened mine up today, and the bottom vector thrusters (his feet) were missing... nothing but raw ball-sockets. E-Mailed BBTS asap... anyone else have any factory defects? I haven't noticed any issues with his shoulders per-see. The hinge on the front of the wings scare the bejubus out of me since it's on a fairly tight hinge connected to the un-modified wings (which would fold around for the regular seekers) making it really unstable. But he otherwise looks great!

There are QC issues with him, but THAT is a new one. The saving grace though is that you bought through BBTS. Best customer service I've ever encountered ;)^

Also, welcome BlueTigerSpike!

We've received an email from site sponsor TFSource about the troublesome Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-11NR Ramjet and its issues. It appears Takara is recalling the figure to fix the shoulders, meaning that the mint packaging will not be as minty. Read on below for more information, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

We’ve heard the rumblings and we want our customers to know that TFSource has been working around the clock, partnering with Takara so that we could provide our customers with the most accurate and up to date news of Masterpiece MP-11NR Ramjet. There was an unforeseen customs delay beyond our control with our shipment, that has now been resolved and a small amount of our stock was just delivered to our warehouse today. Yay!

Upon receiving the good news we were informed by Takara that there is a wide-spread product defect with the toys’ shoulder that many of you may be aware of, but this QC defect is quite severe, in that it prevents the figure from transforming and the majority of the product currently on the market has this issue. Since this issue is so widespread Takara is making the rare decision to issue a full recall on all product in order to fix the problem, which is great news as we know our customers would not like to receive a defective product, especially one as impressive as this. This recall means that our shipment that has not arrived has been sent back to Takara to make the repairs. As of now the anticipated arrival is 2-3 weeks, TFSource will keep everyone update to date with a notification once product arrives.The good news is that enough product has been sent back to Takara to fill all outstanding preorders when it arrives, meaning all of our customers will receive a non-defective piece.

Please note that in order to repair each figure, the boxes will have to be opened and inspected. While we understand that sealed packaging is preferred by some customers we are offering the choice to ship now from a non-repaired piece from our warehouse to customers. Please note that if you do choose this option, TFSource will not accept defective returns on pieces we ship from the warehouse now as the defect affects the majority of products and this is true for all product currently on the market. If you’d like to choose this option please email Customercare@tfsource.com with your order number or email address on your stack account and we’ll be happy to make the change. If you prefer to wait for the non-defective piece, no action is required on your part.

Keep in mind that we have a limited amount of the non-corrected/defective product available now in our warehouse and it will be allocated in a first come first serve basis to those that reply to this email.

Thank you for your understanding.

Your Friends at TFSource!

faulty 'Masterpiece' figures? Say it ain't so!

Can someone explain exactly what is wrong with the figure? I'm pretty adept at fixing Transformers toys and would be happy to fix mine if something is wrong with it. I'll have to take a look at it later today.
