A little Dilemma... or rather a trilemma...

[Nocturn]

I have been contemplating this for a while and so far I've not reached a conclusion: Should I get anime colours MP-03, MP-05, or MP-06? Keep in mind they're all the same price.

[soundwaveCA]

Skywarp hands down.

[Dark Rage]

Are you getting the Wal-Mart version of Starscream? It's cheaper.

Skywarp has a sick paint scheme though.

If you ever decide to get the military green MP-03 later on though, you might regret it, since it might go up in price, but the Anime version seems to be more in demand now.

[GMfan]

I actually like the military green more then the anime colours...more realistic jet mode and darker robot mode = cooler Starscream...to me at least. I just got the Wal-mart version. Word of advice, if you have trouble transforming the wing into jet mode look if the black connector is facing the right way, who ever built mine put it on the wrong way and I nearly snapped the bracket. But given the choices you have in your poll I'd say tie between Skywarp and Megatron, Skywarp for the sick mold and colour and Megatron just because its friggan Megatron (be prepared to keep him in robot mode though).

[Nightscrabbler]

I have to disagree with GMfan here. Realism is all well and good, but the grey isn't that unrealistic a colour to begin with and the robot mode for the green Starscream is unpleasant, in my opinion. But you should put less stock into what I say as I don't own any of the figures. I'd choose between grey Starscream and Skywarp.Just by looking at pictures though I would say that Skywarp would be the one I'd have the most satisfaction in displaying.

[cannabisprime]

Skywarp hands-down. I own the other two and between the two moulds, MP03 is better; however Skywarp has the best colours overall. Takara's attempt at a "realistic" colour scheme for Starscream was a big fail; green =/=grey..

[Incepticon]

If you already have MP-01/04, then I'd have to say you should get MP-05. Few things look cooler than Masterpiece versions of Prime & Megatron standing side by side. Plus MP-05 is substantially bigger than MP-03/06... aka more bang for the buck imo.

[brr-icy]

i say mp05 just because its a sweet mold, looks great, and if you have patience and can follow instructions he's not too hard to transform, a little the first time maybe, but really nice figs, kinda hard to choose between them though lol

[jourdo]

Skywarp would be my choice. Definitely looks the best of the bunch. You really cannot go wrong with any of these though.

[CobraCommander]

MP06, It just all around looks right!

[Nocturn]

DAMN you guys.

I'll get Mp-05 and Mp-06, it's not like I don't have the money.

[soundwaveCA]

DAMN you guys.

I'll get Mp-05 and Mp-06, it's not like I don't have the money.

Even better.

[Pascal]

MP-06 looks good but Megatron is far more important character. MP-05 all the way.

[niteowl]

mp06 is no longer in production,
there are no signs of a possible restock.
if you are planning to get two or all three,
mp06 will be the more difficult to get.

mp05 just completed a second run,
with plenty warehouse stock available.
mp03 g1 colors is widely available in north america,
and was just released in japan.

[cannabisprime]

MP06 is an online shelfwarmer (especially on eBay stores).
MP03 (anime) is NOT widely available in North America.

[Protoman]

Depends what you want, but within time, you will be able to get the better colored ANIME Starscream (walmart) cheaper down the line

Did I just coax a lurker? My oh my!

[niteowl]

thought i'd offer you some information,
but by the looks of it,
i should have remained a lurker.

[Nocturn]

No need to get snippy.

[jourdo]

DAMN you guys.

I'll get Mp-05 and Mp-06, it's not like I don't have the money.

Was "all of the above" a choice? If so... do that!

[Nocturn]

Was "all of the above" a choice? If so... do that!

Yeah, but, I don't like having multiple decos of the same toy, because... it's the same toy. The only one I think I can ever buy is Revoltech Magnus to go with convoy, but that's it.

[niteowl]

lol...
definitely not snippy.
but it looks like my info is different from everyone elses.

I think now is a good time to get all 3,
all three are priced very reasonably.
megatron had hit a high market value last year,
when first run stocks ran low,
the second run has brought it down quite a bit.
starscream is dirt cheap from american sellers.
usually 80$ or less with shipping.
skywarp's market value is still floating around original retail,
but this will change if there is no restock.

if you are gonna buy all three,
great!
if you had to pick an order of priority,
i'd grab skywarp now,
before the price jumps.
then starscream while he's cheap,
then megs who seems to be market saturated.

quality wise skywarp wins hands down,

for importance.
i would go with megatron,
for all those mp01/mp05 diorama possibilities.

Masterpiece Megatron. So you can enjoy the cosmic rust along with the rest of us. :p

Don't forget the not transforming him because he may snap like a twig thing.

[niteowl]

hahaha..... yes! .... to both

[noodle]

I have never once transformed my masterpiece megatron due to that fact.

[blitz]

I have never once transformed my masterpiece megatron due to that fact.
Only if I had the money then I would get 2 and have one in each mode for display.

[Autovolt 127]

Starscream Hasbro Version.

[Pascal]

I have never once transformed my masterpiece megatron due to that fact.

I transformed it several times with no problem.

[Aernaroth]

I say go with the skywarp first. If only they hadnt gone with such a vibrant purple...

Also, niteowl, the way you write your posts is like reading prose. Its really interesting, please don't go back to lurking.

[brr-icy]

i've also transformed my megatron many, many times with no problems, and no rust lol.

[niteowl]

i write in prose?
how do you suppose.
i guess its just how i write,
on this forum at night,
imparting insight,
even when i'm not right.
i'll reconsider not just lurking,
when i have time between working,
i do enjoy cybertron.ca,
but it could use more t and a.
