Listing for Transformers Movie Masterpiece MPM Starscream Among Latest Takara Listings

Hell fucking yes!

The rumor behind Starscream dates all the way back to October 2017 before barricade was even revealed.

YES!

MPM Starscream at last!
I expected him to be as pricey as Megatron because he'll surely be as big.
This MOFO will be sure to be preordered.

Awesome! I can’t wait to see what it looks like, and with a September release date we should be seeing it pretty soon!

What accessories do you all think it’ll include?

The launcher and the saw, presumably.

I wonder if they'll fix the numbering now that they have real MP versions of both Bumblebee and Starscream

Great news!

Exciting! I'm looking forward to seeing how this stacks up to the RotF leader. From everything I've heard, that figure was fantastic.

It is, even when headless

I don't see them changing the numbering, despite the 2010 Battle Ops and Leader having "replacements" now. They didn't for the G1 line, right?

The difference is, all the G1 MPs are molds actually made for the MP line.

This is immensely exciting news! Apart from MPM Ironhide, which was a mostly okay figure, and from everything I’ve heard about MPM Optimus, none of which was good, the MP movie line has been stellar so far. That might make it the very definition of “hit or miss,” but there’s been way more hits than misses. I do still need to pick up Megatron, but I haven’t heard anything remotely negative about his toy.

And considering what they’ve already done with Leader Starscream, nearly a decade ago, I’m pretty pumped to see what they’re able to do with his character now.

The sheer quality that they’ve put into each figure in the MPM line thus far is staggering. Especially when you consider that they haven’t done any reprints, to get more use out of each individual mold.

True, but that shouldn't matter in logistics, plus there's that both weren't released in Japan as is. Besides, it's a pretty bad idea to change ID tags that people rely on, especially past ones.

Looking forward to mpm screamer especially with how good jazz looks

I am ready for this, exciting news!

i'm hoping he has the saw, the minigun, and the missiles. I don't think he really needs anything more than that

Maybe a Sam minifig with the missile-stuck-in-eye alternate face?

Would only really work for a DOTM version of Screamer.

If memory serves, DOTM and ROTF Screamer have the same deco.
If MPM Starscream go for the 2007 clean look, I expect the camo repaint to be a given. Then, the "death" accessories could be included.

Apparently in DotM some of his tattoos are covered up.

Also, laughing at you referring to the brazenly-displayed Cybertronian tattoos as "camo"

Yes it is. 1. Dazzle camouflage has colorful aspects to it to enable the disruption; Starscream's tattoos do not, and cause no such disruption. 2. The tattoos aren't supposed to be camouflage at all; they're Starscream basically writing "I'm an alien warrior robot, you puny insects!" all over himself as part of the Decepticons' "We're not hiding ourselves any more" attitude during ROTF

The F-22's unadulterated livery, now, that's actually camouflage.

I was just messing dude

Ah, okay. My bad.

Thanks to Hasbro's official page on China's Weibo site, we have news that a new Movie Masterpiece figure is set to be announced June 1st at 8pm Chinese time, which is 5am Pacific Time on June 1st in the USA. While there's no clues given in the post as to who the figure might be, the Movie Masterpiece series seems to follow a pattern of releasing a Decepticon, then an Autobot, since 2018 (with MPM VW 'Bee shoehorned in near his eponymous movie). Since Starscream was revealed for a September release, who do you think this next figure will be?



Until June 1st, feel free to speculate away who this will be. We'll be sure to give you all the details as soon as we know them. You can click on the link above, or the Movie Masterpiece logo above to be taken to the post, though naturally, it's entirely in Chinese.

I call '07 Ratchet.

It's almost certainly Ratchet. He'll finish the first movie Autobot cast. Then I expect they'll either try to finish up the Cons, and maybe start throwing some ROTF Autobots to keep the Autobot-Decepticon pattern going

If it isn't rachet then i will be speechless

My vote also goes in for Ratchet, I can't wait to see how it turns out! It'll be especially interesting because Ratchet doesn't have a prior big, fairly complex figure.

The junkbot. Canopy.

Somebody would buy it.

DISPENSOR!
come on... no love for the dewbot?

I have been thinking for months this will be Ratchet. He has to be next, unless they do 2 cons this year, than I really think it would be Brawl or Bonecrusher based on the prior listing

This is something I never knew I wanted until now..

I'm almost certain it'll be Ratchet.

Meteor optimus:p

obviously this legend:

I'ts our man,Bonecrusher!

it will probably be wheelie or mudflap and skids

aaand it's Ratchet!

Cons:The robot parts in the underside of the vehicle.
Pros:They managed to integrate the waist spin he does during transformation!

Ratchet looks awesome! The two main things I was hoping to see were the moving lights on his chest and the parts from the front of the vehicle mode bridging between the chest and shoulders rather than just ending up on the arms, and it pulled them both off! The only downside for me really is that the shoulders are a little too bulky, but it’s nothing too glaring.

Also for anyone worrying about the color matching;


A lot of the official images are mistransformed as well; they have the light bar and some of the roof rack sticking straight off the back, but based on the video and other images, it can be folded down.

Folded down:
