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.

I hope the raised wings so high are only the usual misstransformation silyness.
I wonder how big it will be and it's price.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Well look, with Optimus Prime, it turned out that the ROTF Leader was the better toy than the MPM. For this, I think both will be as good in their own way. I might still preffer the HFTD for how elegant the undercarriage is handled. it was there, but it was smoothe enough.
As for the gray vs blue discussion, it's a problem with the lighting. Grey (just like black) is always a mixture of a darker tint of either blue, green or purple, because there is no such thing as actual black in pigmentation. So in this case, the grey comes from a blue pigment and can reflect differently given the lightsource and accompanying manipulation of the photo.

"MPM-X"?
Anyway, something tells me the "blue" is more of a trick of the lighting or hue settings. You know, "what color is the dress?"

I dunno.
I want it, but I thought there would be more sheen or shine to it if I'm being clear enough. I think I just expected more of a shiny metal look in anticipation of the reveal. I kept thinking of all of the sunshine that Michael Bay incorporated in those films and how the light was constantly playing off the Bots and Cons.

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.
No offence at all.
It's a valid way to display the jets. They usually stand up pretty well! However, the Movie jet cannot stand up like this because of the way it's made. It dosent have a "tripod".

$150 is actually better than I was expecting, but still a lot more than I've ever spent on a Transformer before. We'll have to see, I'm excited to see more pictures/videos in the meantime!

a bit (the multi-jointed neck works miracles) and for me is a big plus, guess we'll see come sept, least I have some time to mull it over

It was exactly me at first.
Then way back then, on Boxing Day sale in December 2010 or 2011, HFTD Leader Starscream was on sale at Toys R Us for 45$CAN instead of the normal 70$CAN. I HATED that Starscream. But at that price, I was curious.
Then when fiddling with him, my hate turned into love and I finally saw how brilliant the design was.
Dunno if the old HFTD Leader will drop in price because the MPM is coming out, but if you can find it for a reasonable price, you'll have a taste of what MPM-10 will bring. After all, HFTD Leader Starscream is MPM-01.

The jet mode looks solid,just wondering about the colors.
It seems he will have the booster on the back!
Overall,I'm very excited for this toy!

One thing for sure. The vehicle mode will NEVER be in scale. Except maybe with Megatron because Megatron is some random thing. In order for Starscream in Jet mode to be in scale with the land vehicles, we should have Star Trek magic tech to mass-shift this toy.
Oh well, as long that the robot match, that's all that matter, really.

I was in that exact same mindset way back in 2010/2011.
Then I tasted the HFTD Leader...
Maybe you could think outside your box for once and try something you never dared before. Maybe not this 150$ MP, obviously, but maybe just the standard Studio Series figure. Movie Starscream is ugly, yes, but he's a pleasure to handle. Especially the Studio Series version or the HFTD Leader. Give it a chance and you'll see.
And if you just can't accept him as "Starscream", just name him Larry and problem solved!

I can!
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).

This won't make me any younger but I find this absolutely amazing that for a whole generation, the "true" Transformers dear from childhood and full of nostalgia are the Bayverse ones!
And honestly, I'm thankful because thanks to the Bayverse, Transformers entered a second renaissance like it did when Beast Wars came along. In both instances, Transformers were revived, fuels by the Geewun Purists tears. Ironically, it's thanks to the Bayverse that we got those recent lines of "Budget G1 Masterpieces" that was the last Generations trilogy and the current one.

Very easily, that's how Starscream looked like in the movies they watched.
My kids are 2 and 4 and they are able to understand that Starscream looks a particular way in the movies and a different way in the cartoons. Same with Bumblebee, Ironhide, Ratchet and everyone else except for Megatron
MadProject wrote:really cool figure, I wonder how it will scale with the other ones, especially in vehicle mode.
Terribly, we already know that from the dimensions given. Not that anyone expected otherwise.
