This is a disappointing announcement for the masterpiece line in my opinion. From the sounds of things, it's a premium version of movie leader starscream... why not just call it that?

[Me.Grimlock.King]

This is Funny! :D A movie figure is not an MP. Nice packaging though!

That's what they did by calling it MP-M01 and not MP-09.

The amount of complaining on TFW2005 is retardedly hilarious, as usual.

The funny thing with that masterpiece version of Movie Starscream is that it will be LESS accurate despite the increased number of paint apps. Otherwise, the engineering of that mold is certainly worthy of the masterpiece designation, just like ROTF Optimus Prime. And even maybe Movie 1 Brawl.

It would be cool if they could integrate a few die-cast parts, but that's probably not happening.

[QuadESL63]

Disappointing...

[Sureshot22]

LAME

glad its not taking away from the REAL masterpiece line though. thank god

[GMfan]

A movie figure is not an MP.

Some are closer to a Masterpiece than custom G1 toys with added new hands, joints, and panel lining/dry brushing.

[Sureshot22]

lol too true Chris.

alot of people throwing around the masterpiece title lately :p

[Cheers Ian]

Whatever.

They just threw a premium movie toy in a Masterpiece box.

I'm not upset by it.

I might even buy it.

Cheers!

:D

Wait 'til you see my Masterpiece Legends Ratchet with his awesome silver painted nose! It won't transform anymore, but I will add an extra Legends Ratchet already transformed as a bonus! On Ebay tomorrow with a starting bid price of 599.99.

[TheLogicalProwl]

FAIL. I fart in its general direction.

[onecoin]

Happy Canada Day!

[Darth Wave]

Why... Why... Why... I'm soooo sick of Starscream! Please do a different toy for crying out loud.

What about finishing off the rest of the Dinobots or better yet do an MP Soundwave with his tapes!

[Prowl_2009]

Nice packaging, but disappointing overall. :rolleyes:

[Dragon Knight]

In before Master Piece Movie Bumblebee

[Nocturn]

Not April 1st. Not cool taktomy.

[Benzo]

Whatever.

This!^^

[pulsedragon20]

a Movie based MP...not very cool

[Mighty_Galvatron]

Interesting how this happened to Starscream, but not to leader Prime.

[Pascal]

Buster Prime was almost the same price. Maybe he will get repackaged as MP-M02 later with minor differences.

[Metrotitan]

WHERE IS OUR MP RODIMUS!? F@#K "Apescream"! I never had ANY love for this toy in any of it's 5 million molds!

So much fail Japan...I expected better of you! :)

[Pascal]

That toy is not even out in Hasbro form here, calm down! :p

[protoform_ironhide]

Why make this into a masterpiece while they don't make movie Buster Prime into masterpiece instead? I think Buster Prime deserves a nice packaging than movie starscream??

[osotech]

I've heard rumors about 4 MP this year...
starscream, bumblebee, OP (all leader from hasbro) from movie/hftd line all MP-M0X
and MP Rodimus MP-09

Just rumors...

[Dragon Knight]

So, if Starscream is getting a release, I guess we can be expecting the inevitable Seekers repaints huh?

[Mumps]

If the paintjob is significantly better than the Hasbro Leader release, then... sure, I'll get this one instead.

:p

Possible but I'd bet no

My reaction to Masterpiece Movie Starscream...

this concludes my reaction to Masterpiece Movie Starscream

[Maloknazh]

Not upset. Really, im quite interested. If the ammount of positive reception ive been hearing is true, then why not release it under the Masterpiece line? And if it has much better paint apps then I think it would be a much better fit, eh?

[Robimus]

Am I interested - Not in the least

But I'm guessing that Takara is marketing towards it Japanese fans(GASP! There are fans in Japan?)

Since they would be unlikely to get the Leader Starscream from Hasbro it seems to make sense.

[jourdo]

Big ol' "meh" for me. I don't see this as a true "Masterpiece"... just a way to get the figure over there. More money for my wallet to keep warm... temporarily anyways.

The amount of complaining on TFW2005 is retardedly hilarious, as usual.

Are there any news threads that do not go down that road?

Some are closer to a Masterpiece than custom G1 toys with added new hands, joints, and panel lining/dry brushing.

LMAO... You are a Masterpiece!

[Mighty_Galvatron]

I was thinking that this move dilutes the whole idea of "Masterpiece," but then I read:

and I saw that it was good.
