I hope they just plan on releasing Starscream again, it would suck BIG TIME if they plan on releasing Thundercracker and Skywarp and even the Coneheads. Buying the first version and the iGear ones means I'm probably not gonna get them if they do come out which is good cause it saves me $$$ but it also means that at least for 1+ years there will be MP's that I won't be getting.
Also maybe it's just my monitor at work but those pics looked photoshopped to me. I could be wrong but looking at things like the red near the edges has that typical photoshop look.

Mp-11 is starscream? Can't help but feel a little disappointed - would have loved a different character getting the masterpiece treatment ie galvatron/soundwave.

... it would suck BIG TIME if they plan on releasing Thundercracker and Skywarp and even the Coneheads.. If yes, it sucks a lot. But I gear allready spred the coneheads first. Only completlists will buy it. But Takara marketing forces could still make it happen... This choice as Starscream for MP-11 could be an hard strike for Igear... As I said before, glad Igear choose anime colors (very cello style) to maintain their releases as unique and truly G1 stylized... -> tribute toys for fans. MP-11 colors looks pearl and/or glossy finished...

Dang! Yeah I'm gonna get it, the price isn't too bad since you are getting more than your standard Seeker (if they give you a stand as well) and if BBTS has it for $160 then places like Amiami will have it even cheaper. I've already got ideas for what I'm gonna do with my MP-03 Starscream and 3rd party coronation set, keep the crown as is and paint the shoulder pads black and gold and find a nice black clothe for the cape, kinda make him the dark/mirror version of this.

The wings have always been part of the design but the tailfins have not. Plus they limit movement a lot. Oh, you mean on the sides. I'd be happier if they put them on their own pivot to imitate the look of the G1 figure rather than fold up. Emerje

I agree. Why didn't they release this in the first place? G1 cartoon colors and some extras rather than that bland color for MP-03? Takara executive overlords want your money!

I think it was the allure of having Shōji Kawamori change the design was too much for Takara. He's a legend so to have him associated with your product is a big plus, besides who does transforming planes better not to mention he helped design the Diaclone toys that would become G1 was another feather in their cap plus he was insistent on the grey/green colour. When I look at the MP's compared to this new Starscream I noticed a lot of similarities to past Macross designs and how fighter mode takes precedence to robot mode. There still amazing designs but I think this new one is closer to the spirit of "Transformers", there not slick fighters but bulky slightly square warriors.

Wow, the thread sure is blowing up. Although I don't believe much in buying recolors this is one that I may buy to replace the MP03.

I can't say I disagree with some of the sentiment here, but I am looking forward to MP-11. This is what Starscream should of been in the begining. I love Shoji Kawamori's Macross designs but his design for MP-03 was not Starscream as I remembered. I prefer this design to his. G-1 colour alone is enough for me, but add in the removal of the hip kibble and the null rays being attached to the arms and I am sold.
I just think it is sad that this is not what we got to begin with and that it took Takara this long to come around.

maybe this is the very cartoon accurate color of all MP SS:he is not white really like our MP hasbro SS. He is somewhat grayish/dirty white like the henkei SS w/c is the toon accurate color.

cant wait for rodimus v2 and prime v3 lol Eh eh eh... can't wait ! Hope Takara will enter new designs like Galvatron, it will be a good follower to the MP-09. Igear first striked with the coronation set... then Takara... So, who's gonna first do a Masterpiece Blitzwing ? ! Besides, did you check this auction :Terrific !................... and crazy price...

So basically what I've learned is that Masterpiece means various versions of convoy, seekers, Rodimus and reissues of Megatron & Grimlock. Hopefully by MP20, we have a fresh new character.

I'd like to know the size of the new seekers. What I'll probably do is transform the earlier Masterpiece seekers into vehicle mode and once Takara re-issue the Masterpiece seekers v2, I'll display them in robot mode together. EDIT: RRP for MP-11 is 13,000 Y Hobby link is selling for 11,050 Y - 15% discount HLJ will probably sell for 10,400 Y - 20% discount amiami will probably sell for 9,750 Y - 25% discount
