Should I get some chemo and Preparation H for your ass cancer?

Seriously, there has been an almost consistent whine over this toy from all sorts of sites and forums that it makes me wonder if the entire fandom has to deal with the tantrum throwing manchildren of said fandom.

Sorry, but take a step back and read both these posts...then tell me which sounds like a manchild throwing a tantrum.

Yeah. No. The fact that there are still people complaining about MP Star Saber is a testament to the entitlement complex of this fandom. My bets are still on those man children.

Whatevs. I've bought and paid for this figure already, but I laughed at the first comment. Yours seemed a bit over the top, though...and for what? Because he seemingly doesn't like the figure? So what? Is it entitled thinking that everyone like what you like or only comment if it's to praise and compliment?

Try dealing with idiots in forums everywhere complaining nonstop on why Star Saber is a new Masterpiece. From people saying it isn't G1 to thise who just wished it never existed there has been a sizeable outcry about this figure just about for every bit of praise and excitement this figure gets. It gets grating over time.

The first comment is just the tip of the iceberg when compared to some of the most petty whining I have seen in a fandom. Threads have had at least that "one guy" wherever this piece is mentioned and it isn't cute or clever, it is annoying.

the more i see, the more i hate this guy.


i think hes an MP filler figure, why did he come out, instead of a jazz or retooled megatron.....or some new freaking dinobots!...........
i dont get this guys popularity at all. the color scheme is disgusting! and he looks cheap.

an easy pass for me...........id rather spend my money on some badass 3rd party figures! which i will since i cancelled my pre-order for this dissapointment of a figure.........the test shots i liked i wont lie. expect the forearms sucked! and still do, they look worse now in that paint job



ok so bring on the fanboy hate.........

Mr_Autobot411 wrote:i think hes an MP filler figure, why did he come out, instead of a jazz or retooled megatron.....or some new freaking dinobots!...........

Because he won the 30th Anniversary Fans Choice poll that had 20 leaders to choose from. And of those 20, Japan chose Star Saber.

I suggest you try sueing Takara for them daring to make a poll for their dedicated Japanese fans who helped create the market for Masterpiece figures.
Maybe that will show em.

so u can think on that while u insert some prep H for ur ass cancer.....

Contrary to popular belief, the World of Transformers doesn't revolve around your sphere of influence. Japanese fandom have as much as a voice (and vote with their wallets) hence the Supreme Commander poll which brought about his creation.

Nope. Not even hating you are all free to buy 3rd party stuff instead of the official product.

I will give you one point. I would love an MP Jazz and Megs 2.0.

But considering that nowadays, Takara is pumping out them Masterpieces, they may not be too far behind.

yea i know that, and thats lame...........

if that poll was done other then baised japan, im sure we woulda got something WAY cooler then star saber.........

im not wasting money on him when 3rd party companies are killing hasbro and takara.......

Japan made Transformers happen. Hasbro just bought the rights to sell them in the US and EU whilst making a series. Japan is where Transformers has started.

Also, 3rd Party killing the main industry?

Do you know how ridiculously priced those figures can be and how much it takes for these 3rd party companies to keep producing them?

i dunno man, now that the have scaled down mp since mp10 i will never get the 10-12 inch figure i wanted.........they may not be far behind but alas we wont be getting the size i would have liked to get......they havent even bothered with doing anymore dinobots, u start with grimlock then NOTHING! so i wont be holding my breathe or a jazz or re-tooled megatron.......but it would be nice

i meant kill it, as in they are kicking their asses when it comes to producing bots these days. U put words into my mouth, didnt say industry dude

I collect i am aware of the prices, and they arent as ridiculous as u make it seem dude! i got hegemon for 100, how much is an mp05? mp05 was a frickin joke!!!!!!

hasbro aoe line WAS the biggest joke ive ever seen, well they have been a joke since the 07 movie garbage came along. Takara scaled down their figures to literally deluxe size and charge 80-100

they wont kill the industry the 3rd parties, but hasbro not longer gets my money, so yea they are killing it themselves

Never said it did dude, stated an opinon! u know that thing ppl do when they like or dont like something, u ever have an opinion? that obviously hurt your lil feelings.......

if that fan vote was worldwide, 100 bucks said it woulda been another mp, other then this pile of dung.

peace out

Funny thing about opinions is that they can be easily dismissed since they aren't facts. Sort of like how you think that Star Saber is s***, I can easily dismiss your opinion as wanton nerd rage.

funny thing is i gave an opinion and ur assuming its a fact lol

the fact is, in my opinion hes CRAP!

and its not nerd rage dude, it would be rage if i actually spent money on him!

and if also find it funny that im not allowed to think hes crap on these forms, i wanted to like him........
seems like u fanboys have some wanton rage when ppl dont fall under the spell of a new mp...........
and that too me kinda laughable.........

peace.

So how do the mods of this site manage to have the patience to wade through all this TF drama?

I would like to know Sabrblade.

Go ballistic then shift gears back to peace.....okay. Typical PC style these days. Got it. But if you seriously are nauseated at Star Saber and you know the thread is composed of zombie fanboys and you are the minority............don't you just turn out to be a heckler who wants some loving attention?

As I posted against another Star Saber heckler, follow what Thumper's mom advised him concerning speaking.

Criticizing a product that hasn't been released yet is like premature heckling.

Whoah, hold on. Biased Japan? I'm not gonna hold it against ya for not liking the figure, that's on you, but Takara IS Japan. hasbro has offices in every other continent, but Japan is Takara's territory, and this is being produced primarily, if not exclusively, for their market. Their Japanese market. Rag on Hasbro for figures like Windblade, who was also a poll character, but Star Saber is not our ,arket. Heck, if it weren't for the internet, we wouldn't even know he existed, let alone have the opportunity to import him.

Personally, I'm more excited for Saber than I was Mp10 and I have no idea who he is. (But TFWiki is a wonderful thing) This is the only masterpiece I plan on getting from the recent runs. (Although if I bad seen any of the Prime, Roddy, or Grimlock Tru releases, i woulda nabbed them). This isn't lame to me, this is a cool, realistically styled although not a true jet mode, and a funky but functional armor, which looks cumbersome in alt mode but holds up for accuracy. A shield basestand? That's to me an incredible bit of thought the engineers coulda ignored and didn't. But that's me

y'all are just feeding the fire. s'ok though, i get sucked in once and a while. just treat Mr_Autobot411 like this



all im thinking about now, is how great this figure is. every new picture revealed of SS makes me honestly think this is the most effort they have put into a transformer ever.

They're like hookers. They can only see you through motion. In other words, don't move.

America is just as biased as Japan is about Transformers characters. Only thing is is that our biases are different, NOT "better", than theirs.

Had the same poll with the same choices been conducted over here, the winner would have likely been yet another variation of Optimus Prime for the billionth time. How creative.

Heckler or troll..........really now so sad. So misplaced the pent up frustrations. 1st it was the choice of MP, then the size now the price then 3rd party manufacturers etc...............on and on

If the powers that be consider this as they did for the Robot Masters line I would so get it first....c'mon Takara!

Thanks to Hobbybase on Facebook, we get another look at the upcoming MP-24 Masterpiece Star Saber. The magazine scans show off many of the features contained within the Masterpiece figure of the Supreme Commander as well as the many accessories the figure comes with. The Magazine scans also show off MP-23 Exhaust.

This figure is loaded with gimmicks. I just hope it doesn't end up like MP Rodimus and have tolerance issues.

He makes me want to puke ..................because he is so AWESOME!

THEY ACTUALLY MADE THE BRAINMASTER FACE GIMMICK WORK LIKE THE G1 TOY AND STILL ALLOWED FOR HEAD ARTICULATION!!!! WHAT MAD SORCERY GENIUSNESS IS THIS?!!!!!!!

fenrir72 wrote:He makes me want to puke ..................because he is so AWESOME!

I'm not entirely on board with the Star Saber hype but there is absolutely no denying that this is a spectacular MP release and to be honest, is worth buying even if i'm not all that familiar with the canon around him.
It's an impressive figure no doubt and arguably the best MP to date in terms of playability and gimmicks.

His "Courage" Brainmaster....he's like a mini me version of the jet.So that's what he actually looks like. The original Brainmaster wasn't painted in detail and based on its pics I find, not a whole lot to see.

I think when this guy is released right after the MP Magnus, we'll be s***ing out rainbows for weeks.

Reminiscing and taking a closer look at his transform sequence, Star saber represents the apex of power mushroom armor upgrades. If Tomy attempts a God Ginrai, Star's supermode and articulation should be a good template to build on.

so those who dont like this guy because what... looks like crap?
then how is it supposed to look... HOW IS IT SUPPPOSED TO LOOK!!!!!

That's how you separate the ignorant trolls from the critics with actual valid criticism. You get a lot of those whenever there is a hype train to be ridden.

It looks like the face is stored in the saber head and the raising of the chest plate brings it into the helmet. I don't think the brain is needed at all.

Fans of die-cast should be happy to note that MP-24 Star Saber will have more than a few die-cast parts. TF Yuki tweeted a picture of the parts that will be die-cast on Star Saber. The parts include feet, engine parts and more. After the last several releases of all plastic Masterpiece figures, what do you think about the inclusion of die-cast on Star Saber? Sound off in the Masterpiece Star Saber discussion thread.

Are those his joints? I'd like to correct the misconception but owning Tomy MP Convoy and Soundwave, both have die-cast parts. Of course not like the G1 versions but the do have. Iirc Convoy 's feet are die-cast. SW's, the joints and spine.

Seems to be just his feet and all the jets' thrusters & V-Star Cannons, which are for figure posing stability.

Huh, good to see some metal again. I honestly think that all joints on MP figures (especially thin ones) should be metal. The difference it makes is astonishing.

As long as they don't oxidize, I'm cool with it.
