When Takara Tomy got serious, they do a really amazing job
Wish they could be like this most of the time, but sadly the reality say no
@@randomuser-mv7bb why work any harder if fans will gobble up anything.
For takara, it’s usually either sturdiness, engineering, or items. It’s usually only 1
True
Everytime I think Masterpiece is downgrading they come back with a surprise
I agree but Takara needs to smarten up and stop giving us these 2.0 variants because these things cost a lot of money and when they're making multiples of what are supposed to be our definitive Transformers G1 cast, it's kind of shitty.
@@bahrahfahofficial1158 that would be applicable if the previous version was 'good enough'
Mp11 was NOT
@@bahrahfahofficial1158 I agree I want jazz but also I do understand that Jazz was based on a Porsche so yeah we’re not gonna get one any time soon if they go for an official Porsche license
"Perhaps he's taking down brawn and prowl." You didn't need to say that, now I hurt
Shockwave with 2 eyes makes me hurt
Rip prowl -_-
You can see that the floppy hinge at 19:20 was tight until you folded the wing at 8:51. Looks like you folded the wing before you folded the tip all the way flush, pushing it to the side, putting stress on the pin, thus rendering it floppy.
Ouch, I guess this is like hound.
Good looking out!
You can see how when the wing is folded, the tip bends pretty harshly against the plastic and made it super loose.
I cringed so hard seeing that and seeing him continue talking oblivious to it being stressed on
@@Freak80MC same! I literally cringed as it was forced haha
Plot twist: he's speaking in starscream's voice.
Honestly this looks like a return to form for masterpiece. I had given up on masterpiece, because what you were getting wasn't worth the price. I might pick this guy up, depending.
It’s is, it definitely is a return to form, moreover it’s an example of Takara making what should be the definitive version of a G1 toon figure. Honestly, I can’t imagine a better figure unless it was made of almost fully die cast. I’m looking very much forward to a complete definitive seeker set.
Lol! "Megatron pleasure face" Great vid, can't wait to get mine, looks so badass!
Look forward to your review Shart.
This guy really does look incredible. After watching the transformation, even more so.
If I was Takara Tomy, I'd sacrifice the stand for Starscream's crown and cape from the movie
Too bad you can only get those by buying all three seekers
I'd sacrifice all the unnecessary paint
*This is bad comedy*
He has a drill and a cosmic rust hand but not a crown, pauldrons and cape?? WHY
@@pugmasterben I'd love to know this as well
this is the best representation of g1 starscream
Howling meteor begs to differ.. look it up
@@matthewschroeder2634 lol that pin head hollow wing thing???
Literally any statue would beg to differ
@@matthewschroeder2634 Dude Takara version looks way better than maketoys. Maketoys isnt even accurate too. It looked good for its time but its been dethroned hard.
@@Cheese_Man1
statues arent transformers
A masterpiece Starscream that isn't a "bad comedy"lol.
Lemme guess, you watched JobbyTheHong’s MP Starscream review?
@@pramusetyakanca1552 Of course😁,but to be honest he will be mad once again,NO WAIST SWIVEL,even damn Bumblebee has it
@@deadaquarius488 well, realistically speaking Starscream can't have a waist swivel. His design just doesn't allow it, and all those figures that tried to put a swivel there ended up with a tiny piece of the cockpit (obviously a faux part) separeted from the rest of the cockpit, and it's very noticeable. The lack of a waist swivel is completely fine for a design like this.
@@Sbungo61 Yeah,i'm totally ok with that,cuz that guy is solid as rock and he has all kinds of articulation.But tbh i'm looking forward to see that Deformation Space one,cuz it looks like they sonehow made it possible.But without a doubt mp52 Starscream best Starscream of all time
@@deadaquarius488 oh sure, that's undeniable. Although i'm also curious about Deformation Space.
Can’t wait for JobbytheHong’s review
Same lol
“NO WAIST SWIVEL”
@@LateBlossoming but hey we got an abb joint
Same bro
@@LateBlossoming no waist swivel. 0/10.!! Worst toy ever !!!!
@@LateBlossoming seriously?? , then why they add the fake cest ?? I thought that was for articulation ??
This looks like a very solid figure compared to some of the previous MPs. Nice work on the engineering.
I wonder if a third party company will make a coronation set for this figure.
I mean, a coronation set is coming out
@@maskai3408 I see, thanks for the clarification.
“Oh how it pains me to do this!”
“Wait, I still function!”
@@sallltynacl “wanna bet?!”
*Explosion*
@@sallltynacl “STARSCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAM!!!!”
Megatron is that you?
Damn, this is really telling of how much Takara prioritizes Beast Wars and G1 over the movie figures.
It's especially apparent with the BB MPMs. Both Bee and Prime not quite hitting the mark when it comes to accuracy to the film, but pretty good toys. Though I'm not quite sure you'd want to play so much with something that's $100+.
ANYWAY, this Starscream is GODLY.
Edit: I commented too early and heard you make the same points. Lmao
It is a display piece. That's why he comes with stuff to recreate scenes from the cartoon.
Just having seekers with posable legs blows my damned mind.
Probably the best looking jet mode I've seen for him.
I don’t know if it’s the paint or the lighting, but every so often when you aren’t actively touching it I mistake the figure for a cgi model
Haha ikr!! It’s because it’s so good!
Dang it’s so smooth In robot mode I thought you replaced it with a r.e.d figure! Lol!
I’ve seen at least 5 reviews of this guy, good reviews, but yours made me look forward to transforming it. Good job.
Ah thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed :)
A masterpiece figure that actually deserves the title though what a beast of a price
He's so lovingly made. I just wish they had done the same for MPM-12 BMB Prime. =(
That isn’t takara strong suit
Thank you so much sir ,your instructions are very precise and clear....you make my weekend fun.
The Autobots would have lost eons ago if I’ve been calling the shots!
-Starscream
This thing is absolutely fantastic and it's what MP-11 should have been from the very start.
Too bad about the weak knees and the useless stand for the bot. But that's ain't a deal-breaker.
Agreed! :)
I have the Thundercracker on pre-order. Contemplating Skywarp depending on how TC feels in hand. My favourite characters and the only way I can justify that price point. The first mold is impossible to find at retail these days with KOs flooding the market. After seeing this I'm glad I never purchased those ones. I have the old MP Dirge, Ramjet and Thrust and they are super clunky, loose and fragile. I won't even transform them. This new Takara mold looks to be well done in comparison to older ones. The smoothness and G1 animation accuracy is on point.
This is cool
Way out of my price range
But still cool
Great vid as well from a fellow brit 👍🇬🇧
Ah thanks so much!
I will admit, the translucent cockpit having an almost solid gold look at some angles is very impressive. Reminds me of the F-22 Raptor.
I got this on Monday and I'm super impressed with this mold.
I already had MP-11 and I never really liked it. Probably just gonna sell it now. Hope a third party releases the coronation accessories for this one.
Takara already did
Now this is a figure that deserves the title "masterpiece"! 9.5/10
10/10
@@caydenrgarrett well no waist swivel, so that's why it wasn't quite a 10.
@@sandwichboi0342 😑
Great review thanks! Can't wait for this guy to come in.
DAMN WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT! This makes the previous MP Starscream look like a prototype lmao
Incorrect. This is Masterpiece G1 Starscream 3.0. The box lies. MP-3 Masterpiece G1 Starscream is version 1, MP-11 Masterpiece G1 Starscream is version 2 and MP-52 Masterpiece G1 Starscream is version 3.
I think they're trying to say that MP-11 was more of a "1.5". As I recall, he reused a lot of the original engineering. I only have MP-3, so I can't compare.
Great review as always! What do you use for lighting?
Takara obviously got a hard on for Decepticons, since almost all good masterpiece figures are decepticons. Autobots just get shafted like Bumblebee and Arcee
Hahaha loooool!
Personally I really like what they did with MP-39 Sunstreaker. My copy of MP Hound hasn’t broke in places like others have so I love him too lol
I remember when there was only like, 5 or 6 Decepticons in the line among dozens of Autobots. Maybe Takara got as sick of designing them as I got of buying them
I just got this too but I haven't gotten around to playing with it in depth yet aside from inspecting it out of the packaging. I wish that it could have retained the coronation crown tampo print that the MP-3 Takara US Edition had on the cockpit but I understand that this one is more toon accurate.
Great looking bot mode, if a bit small. I'm just sad that we no longer seem to get Hasbro versions of MPs anymore. There's just no way I can justify the price on these Takara figs.
That is especially annoying when there’s a voice gimmick
Peter barely gets called on let alone frank or David
I have Starscream, Thundercracker, Acid Rain, and Sunstorm already in the old mold, but not Skywarp. I might get a Skywarp version of this mold just so I can finish the classic trio of seekers without doubling up too much in the collection.
This starscream is very satisfying. This is probably the best masterpiece ive seen to date in my opinion. i love this starscream. just might pick him up.
I agree! It looks amazing!
22:22 "megatron pleasuring face" Why did that get me???? LOL
Pretty good alternative for those who couldn't get Maketoys Howling Meteor, I think some of the sculpt work on this it better, mainly with the head and shoulder intakes, but the transformation is way more intuitive on MT meteor, amd he has a waist swivel without sacrificing the abb crunch.
12:12 wait that's perfect, stop the transformation
Best Starscream from Takara by far
No waist swivel tho
@@justsomegilgameshsimp.6519 yeah, that’s the only major flaw
Great review on a nearly flawless MP figure!!
Thank you! :)
maybe with the drill piece you can recreate the scene from bumblebee where he gets his voicebox destroyed
Perhaps so!
This is definitley a Stunning Piece! Definitley Getting him^^
Nice Review!^^
Thanks so much :)
Great review!
I may get this when it’s retooled into Thundercracker
Can't wait to get this for my birthday 🎂
hahaha they heard people criticising the older Starscreams for not being able to look up so they gave his neck such a ridiculous hinge this time around it's comical
bravo to the engineers
I am digging the way they hide the tail fins. That's genius.
Awesome review man, though I felt your pain when you bent that 'floppy piece' at 08:51 (I'd say don't feel too bad it happens to everyone at some point, but I would be gutted if it was me!)! Have you managed to fix it?
Btw, whereabouts are you based? England?
Yes the best kind to add into my Starscream collection.
Thanks for the video & the very high quality. At 10:01 one can get a close look at the symbol upon the wing & note that it's paint rather than a decal & also that it's upside down. Thought I could remove it and replace it with a toyhax decal after purchase. But...no.
After all these years I've just found out yesterday that the MP 11 mould has heels I can't believe I never realised. I'm going to check MP3 to see if that does too
Now, that really IS a masterpiece!
a nice use of faux forming to make a better looking robot mode, I approve.
*Perspective End screaming in the distance*
Haha agreed!
awesome video! I love this
22:23 pogscream
a pog that let to a ultimate demise of Ironhide, Ratchet, Prowl, Brawn, Wheeljack, Windcharger
Mine also had a really lose flippy piece like yours did and it eventually came detached with no easy way to put it back on to have it stay so I just removed it. Kind of weird how "flimsy" that little connector is for those. Great figure and now I just have to hope for a re-issue of Megatron...
The small hinged part that is loose on his back is because you caught it while transforming and damaged where it is pinned. 8:54
Ohhh nooo! 😰😰
Im super impressed with this :,) might have to grab thundercracker
I love this figure! I got Starscream and Thundercracker. I agree that the display is too short for bot mode, but does anyone know the size of the pin to upgrade to a larger display?
Someone might’ve already pointed this out, but the nose contains the radar array that comes standard in real life f-15 fighter jets.
Prime vs prime can you do a thought's and analysis on the new upcoming mp 52+ figures
The figure looks amazing!
But...
Why can't the gosh darn cockpit be the same piece in both modes?!
Would love to see a review from you on the 6 TF live action movies
I’ve been waiting for this 😈
MPs, good and high quality they may be, are one line I won’t cross again because of the massive price. Especially when there’s the likes of WFC around as affordable good reps of G1 & BW.
In fact there’s only one MP I got ever, mostly because it’s a personal favorite character and one that yes yet to have a modern, affordable toy: Star Saber.
I’m getting the deformation space
It's a bit of a shame that he doesn't have a waist swivel but it's still an enormous step up from the previous Masterpiece Starscream.
Now this is what you call a masterpiece.
Reminds me of megatron 2.0, looks really accurate if you are far away and squint, but it you get close enough you see more panel lines than actual detail
So the massive robot that turns into a jet, instead of using its massive metal hands, it uses a metal claw?
Haha literally loool
I am a huge fan of this. I've always been a huge Starscream fan. When the MP-11 came out, I was not a huge fan of it. I know back in the days the Masterpiece figures are not very cartoon accurate but still, I like my figures to be accurate as what it supposes to be as possible. But it is still a good figure for it's time. Then the MakeToys Starscream came out. I was really happy. It was extremely accurate. I love it. But still not perfect. Especially the nose cone on the back. And now that we have this, my dream came true. Yes it's not perfect (like the MakeToys) but it's definetley 99% accurate. And I'm very happy with that. But that's just my opinion.;)
God that took a while..
That one piece you didnt quite lock in before folding the wing drives me nuts, lol.
Regarding the size, if looking at the sunbow size chart (which is not accurate but whatever) this size is perfect. But obviously many people remembered starscream a bigger character next to Megatron, soundwave, etc. and I get that
Jobby's gonna have a field day with this one...
cool review, but where is his trailer, parts forming reference, mini action figure-
Looks incredible
What is the TF fans wish list for the next masterpiece.
Mine is mp
Galvertron
Soundwave v2
Hotrod v2
Would be interesting to know
Ooo Galvatron would be very cool to see
It’s sad that we need an ass ton of Third party attempts for Takara to give us great figures like this.
I really wish the peg on the Megatron accessory was black instead of gray so it didn’t stand out as much
Hey PVP, what's your favourite optimus pime design? Mine is the Movies 1-3 design.
Yes mine too!
Should have mine in hand 2day or 2morrow he looks freakin AWESOME yeah the price is a little high but whatever so is Fanstoys, he's not in-stock yet @showZstore, still up 4 p.o. nice 📹👍🙏
Now that’s starscream
At least this actually looks like a masterpiece
Does anyone know if this differs in size to original G1 starscream toy? It looks a tad bigger, but maybe not. Just wondering for my diorama.
I kno its a mainly for display, but do u think it's a durable and solid figure to play with? Or display only
Did g1 starscream ever turned his waist in the g1 show
That’s a very good point!
I've always valued an Ab crunch more than a waist swivel
kinda wish you compared him to mp-11 and maketoys howling meteor
looks great but I honestly hope that the Thundercracker will look amazing
Collectors about the price: Your either lying or your stupid
Takara: I am stupid I am stupid
I bet 10 bucks they're going to make a repaint of this figure of skywarp and thundercracker
I notice the transformation section of your reviews are very entertaining to watch, but I almost never watch them when I'm trying to go through the steps with you with my copy in hand. You always tend to skip the more complicated parts of the transformation to make things seem more streamline than it actually is.
So they included the drill and the claw...but no crown and cape? :(
Holy moly that figure looks good in both forms. Plus the paint looks good too!? Did Takara hire a third party company to do Starscream for them?
Ikr! Major step up from Bumblebee & Hound
Calling bumblebee a masterpiece figure is being generous
The megatron pleasuring face! HAHAHA baw u crazy😂😂😂😂
AGreed, its a cool figure, but I jumped the MP ship when they went full animation. I prefer the toy looks.
Prime VS Prime’s favorite words “snap” and “shoot”
Seriously though, he says those a lot during transformations 😂
"Megatron Pleasuring face" I want you to Rust.
I don't know if i'm right, but the stand might be a purple version of Dinobot's.
