Megatron has overslept! I declare myself NEW LEADER of the Destrons!

I am very new to all of this and I just want to say your reviews are top-notch. It’s clear you really care about the characters, how they translate into toys, and what they represent. The way you played with him as you did the transformation and showed off the accessories was a genuine delight. It was like the toy himself was talking and interjecting and it made the video so much more enjoyable. Despite only now “getting into it,” Starscream has been my favorite Transformer for years. Imagine my abject delight and subsequent fear when I walked into the local collecting toy store to buy my first ever figure and seeing this absolute gem of a Screamer in the shop owner’s possession, up on a high shelf towards the back away from prying eyes. I wish I hadn’t seen it. I wish the owner hadn’t seen me see it. I wish he weren’t selling it for $300. This is my roundabout way of saying I am now determined to not only save up the money for this handsome chap, but to save up enough to buy the one from my local store to support the owner. My only fear is by the time I return with the necessary funds that his spot on the shelf will be filled with something else (there’s just something about buying a collection item in person, and I’d rather do that than purchase online, if I can). I DID walk out with some tiny now-retro seeker action figures from 2001. Had to get all three of the lads, of course.

As much as I hope you get this figure, as he is pretty nice, that "shop owner" is scalping you, BAD!

The engineering on this figure is insanely impressive. I was hoping to see a skit with Megatron strangling Starscream given the wide range of neck articulation on this MP.

The gerwalk mode did happen in the cartoon. I think it was the Dinobot Island episode. The only character to be seen in that mode was Skywarp.

Lol i love this guy,but modern MPs have loose joints,paint chipping and slim shorter look . To my eyes MP-11 still seems to be a good ver of Starscream.All i see are positive about both figures,but no waist swivel is pain and when you pay too much money and get loose figure,it's really a pain!,i'm just hoping they'll fix the mold on next repaints.

Hey Emgo, another great video. After watching you transform Starscream it seems like the more Takara makes Masterpiece figures more complex to transform the more likely something could break. And for that I will unfortunately be passing on this. I like this figure but I don't want to spend over $200 on this and have it break on me.

Finally, a Screamer worthy of the name: Masterpiece!

I like the gerwalk mode, the sticker album has a transforming Starscream on the left side, one of the steps is him in "gerwalk mode". This cover is very iconic to me, Transformers was on TV once a week and I spent a lot of time flipping the album's pages when I was a kid, had lots of missing stickers and that was the only sticker album I ever cared about. And I'm also a big Macross fan...

I can't believe they made this figure even shorter than the last MP release, that's insane, especially at the $275 price point they have him at... The fact that you can buy the Make Toys Premium version for just $150.00 is such a great deal in comparison. My Premium Meteor arrived the other day and didn't have one single loose joint. I was really impressed with the QC on mine, plus it was covered in paint. So for my collection I'll be going with Make Toys, but if you look the overly toon look then this guy makes sense. But for me, I prefer the older MP aesthetic with more real world detailing in both alt and bot mode.

Having it in hand, is the color much darker than MP-36's shade of grey? Thank you for the support. :)

Believe it or not Starscream did do a Robotech Varitech guardian mode in the G1 cartoon, like he got shot by an Autobot which causes his legs to fly out as he struggles to maintain his jet mode before folding them back.

Man, I remember when that Maketoys screamer came out, I didn't think it could be topped. I was wrong.

Just so you know Emgo if you buy the Thundercracker and Skywarp repaints of this mold Takara will throw in a set of coronation gear specifically designed for this mold.
