Doritos are known for their crunch, but not the abdominal kind.
The fact that it's easier for HasTak to seek and destroy the KO producers than making these little improvements themselves says A LOT.
Not advocating the mold theft, but these premium KOs wouldn't exist if original product was collector's grade instead of abosulute shit grade.
Don't forget hyper overpriced.
Easier for them? No.
Profitable for them? Yes.
HasTak shuts down KO company: HasTak loses less profit while not having to change a thing.
HasTak lets KO company go and makes higher quality figures: HasTak loses money making higher quality figures and runs the risk of there still being KO's even though the market would be smaller and they lose *more* money.
P.S. I'm not picking a side, just facts
@@JM64 Yessir, quite a logical conclusion in contrast to biased op
I just don't understand why Hasbro can't do the paint apps like this? They charge so much for masterpiece and yet.. Sigh.. Just a bit more of effort thats all..so lazy.... A joke to takara masterpiece.
so much for a "masterpiece" eh? 😂
to be honest i think all the charge are from the engineering idea of mpm starscream, while ko just stole it and give it a better paint apps.
@@isaacsurya4962 yeah, it is easier to just steal something and paint it better than engineering it and painting it good, and it does cost a lot to engineer it
Bro they engineered it....
You’re right; Starscream transforms into a Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor.
Wow, that is really a major upgrade with the paint. I had cancelled my pre order for the official due to its lack of paint. I think I will have to pick this one up.
Great choice 👍
Very smart choice because i found that the original hasbro version is way more expensive than the mpm 10 earthquake one.
Doritoscream is a Lockheed Martin F-22A Raptor. I do like the paint scheme over the toy like MPM-10 official colours, and I am likely to be getting this one, so I can kinda retire my TF Dream factory GOD-08S to display only
We've been calling this style of Starscream "dorito" for nearly 14 years yet we never got a cheesey orange one.
Starscream's Dorito body is to ensure that he scales moderately well with the rest of the cast. If his body were more humanoid, he'd be even taller than Megatron (due to mass shifting not existing in the bayverse)
Still a pretty stupid design, a better solution would have been to use a smaller jet
Yes we all heard bay's mass shifting arguements. Bumblebee movie proved him short sighted.
Read this comment out, Megatron wasn't even an earth vehicle in the first and second Transformers movie so Megatron could still be bigger than Starscream. But, not everyone is fond on using their brains these days. Also, why are people so fond of mass shifting?
The allspark mass shifts on screen tho
@@atlas6538 thats sounds stupid
He's going to look good with Zeta Movie Blitzwing and Cyber Factory Star Storm.
I'm still waiting mine to be shipped. Thanks for the review ben 🙏
For how long
@@kejexy7018 i got mine december ago, i pre ordered it since november.
Looks incredible and the changes are nice, but the crucial one is still missing: no bicep swivels
Kinda puts the lacklustre "Masterpiece" in perspective.
At least the official one's ankles don't break easily.
@@UnChannelDuVulpineX this one has ankle issues?
Benny Bruschinsky Yes. If you transform the robot into alt mode, there's a high chance the ankles will break.
@@UnChannelDuVulpineX one of the reasons I dont like this kos
They did everythinh right except for the plastic quality
Lt02 and Ls03 primes has the same problems, on the feet they break easily
@@renzoalagon I have LT02, LT02W and LS-03F, have transformed each several times and not had any issues at all.
The issue with the first version of this figure is that the maker 'upgraded' a couple of parts to die-cast metal, without knowing that plastic was needed there due to a tiny amount of compression was needed. As the metal couldn't compress at all, plus die-cast metal isn't as strong as people think it is, it snapped sometimes. I say sometimes because only one of mine broke.
I looked on the TFW2005 forum and found a simple fix, by shaving off a small amount of metal, applied it to the unbroken and replacement parts and not had an issue since.
A good thing with the KOs is that you can *get* replacement parts. Takara Tomy only provide that service to the Japanese, so your masterpiece Hound, Prime version 3 or Bumblebee version 2 are going to statues, unable to be transformed, if you can't fix them *when* they break.
This is the most gorgeous iteration of a Dorito ever produced.
Just see the 3A Starscream
The paint scheme looks a lot like the first version of movie masterpiece Starscream, MPM-01.
Picked this up, and it is gorgeous. The paint is amazing, and the joints are really strong, allowing for the poses you would like, taking in mind the limited articulation in the original design's shoulders. I picked up the official Ratchet, and that is the last official MPM I will pay for. The green unpainted plastic that makes up most of the figure makes it looks like a cheap knock-off, whereas the KO, as with this one, is amazing. It looks like an actual Masterpiece. Thanks-you Ben. You helped move me towards the MPM KO's, and my shelf is so much better for it.
F-12 would work better for jetfire.
apparently the F-12 was a fighter variant of the SR-71 blackbird that they never put into service.
That's not even close to being true. A fighter warplane and the duties of the Blackbird aren't comparable.
YF-12A prototypes were produced, with a missile bay under the long forward fuselage, and a long folding ventral fin under the rear fuselage. The nose had a peculiarly different shape compared to the SR-71, as well.
@@Marvin_R as a fighter?
The YF-12 did exist as an interceptor, the missiles it would have carried evolved over time into the main long range armament of the F-14 Tomcat, the AIM-54 Phoenix
Originally, it was A-12 (single-seater), then YF-12, then SR-71.
Definitely the Black mamba model from Starscream is and will continue to be the best so far. A simple transformation is preferable to a very complex and stressful one like this one with very small parts and with a high possibility of fractures. And the most incredible also Starscream Ls-04 and Ls-04 s is superior in its F-22 mode.
Great review! glad I found your channel. starscream is on the way
I misread the title as "MP-10," and I was like "Are they *still* doing MP-10?"
I wish they would give him his alien 👽 tattoos like in the second movie but he's still pretty cool.
Probably will in a repaint release in a year or so
Just buy some paint? It's way cheaper than the figure.
I agree, if you can paint him then do that.
Just amazing in everything!
Had it for about a week now from ShowZ and love it!
Still find the stark, shiny head odd though with the matte body.
Still gotta give the OS SS the win for vehicle mode for better undercarriage.
Are colors on this KO version more movie accurate than the original MPM10?
The colours and insignia on the KO look to be more USAF official accurate to a real F-22 Raptor, the colours and insignia on the official MPM-10 are "Toylike"
You've gotta understand that all these names and decals are skewed on purpose for legal reasons. They obviously know what jet it is.
I just got my copy of this KO. Having handled the original and this KO, I feel the KO has a lot of quality issues.
Yes, the paint is better, but my copy had two left hips and a lot of flash from where the plastic was cut. Most tabs required filing because they wouldn’t go into their slots and the thing wouldn’t transform to alt mode. I took me 6 hours to fix all of this.
Finally, the upper fuselage on the KO is wrong: The real F-22 has asymmetrical panels on the sides of the fuselage near the wings because it has a Gatling gun on the right side only and an Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) on the left side. So the “bumps” and divots and hexagons are different on each side.
Both the old leader class Starscream AND the original MPM-10 have the correct asymmetrical panel detail, but the KO is symmetrical and the panel lines are made up.
Finally, although the paint job and plastic colors on the KO are a better match to the correct camo of the screen appearance (Hasbro’s original MPM-10 has the colors almost inverted), several details are STILL painted wrong.
Hasbro/Takara: You're just a cheap fucking knockoff
Random Chinese: Oh, no,no,no. I'm the upgrade.
There's still no Starscream that could actually transform into proper F-22 so far despite more than 10 years after the movie.
How is it not a proper F-22?..
@@Draconicus702 look at actual F-22 in reality and in the movie itself. You don't see those uneven boxy bottom on the fuselage. Takara Tomy G1 Starscream is good transformation that it looks exactly like the F-15F that didn't enter service. This starscream doesn't look like F-22 except the top.
@@jayjay53313 well you're comparing a simpler G1 design to the complex design of a Bayverse character.
It is literally impossible to get have screen accurate Starscream to transform into a kibble free F-22.
Besides, I don't know what G1 Starscream figure your referring to?
But both the Masterpiece G1 Starscream figures have kibble, or just obvious sacrifices in their jet modes. Made for the sake of Transformation, in one way or another.
Not as much as this figure, but kibble is kibble.
@@Draconicus702 the G1 masterpiece mp6/7, the bottom isn't perfect but it is still within the F-15 fuselage frame. The movie starscream and few more fight jets decepticon can't transform into proper jet mode due to unrealistic Illogical bayformers design. Rather than design the jet first then the robot, MB told designers to design the robot first then struggled to fit the jet mode. Blitzwing doesn't have this problem
@@jayjay53313 "Unrealistic, illogical bayformers design"
Maybe it's just me, but that's a stupid argument.
As far as I'm concerned bayformers is 10× more realistic than G1, people say the bayformers look like heaps of scrap metal and I'm like... yeah? It's a living borderline organic robot that can change form into a FIGHTER JET! (or some other vehicle) I'd expect it to have sharp pointy bits all over instead of being a box with arms and legs like the G1 formers are (that shape may work for an F-15 but try that with virtually any other fighter jet in history and see what happens)
Starscreams form *is* realistic for a semi-organic robot that can change form to a fighter jet... that doesn't mean it's feasible to do it with the comparatively limited engineering of a plastic toy that relies on hinges and tabs
Huh, now you have one for each movie.
Definitely looking into getting this; the MPM is fine, but a bit plain.
The painting is amazing on this guy
That's nice and tasty. I've gone oversize with my mpm's, so I'll have to pass, and hope we get a big one of these.
Screamer is an F22. They probably couldn't use the name for copywrite reasons
Because it takes so much work for hasbro takara to give us a figure like this I say since in my country an mp comes out very expensive
Excellent review
Be very careful with the ankles when going into alt mode. At 13:06 one of the die-cast ankles crumbled on my copy. One tabbed in fine, I did the same with the other and it snapped with little force.
Mine too😢 maybe using some oil would help
@@robbievanleeuwen355 Sorry to hear that happened to you.
I got a replacement part from the seller. When it arrived I shaved a bit of metal off, as described on the TFW2005 thread for this figure. I went from looking at the figure with mild anger to loving it again. I'm even thinking of buying the tattoo variant that's just been released.
@@UnChannelDuVulpineX Thanks for the tip! I'll look into that. Yeah great figure. When the oversized version of the ko starscream is available i'm gonna buy it
@@UnChannelDuVulpineX Do you know any other figures to be carefull with?
@@robbievanleeuwen355 I believe that Takara's MP-47 Hound is one to be gentle with.
I'm always very careful whenever I have to bend plastic, if there isn't enough clearance. Or course any figure that uses clear plastic in a joint is just asking for trouble.
I saw a pre-order for the oversized version recently. It was either on Show.Zstore or TF Safari.
I love transformers
you forgot to compare him to honeybadger megs. i'm.waiting for it.
You're not wrong, he's an F-22 Raptor
That’s a lot of work for that transformation. Pretty good figure though
Dont think there's any way around it, if you want so many details and "realism" it will necessarily be a pain to transform, as it's also correct, or "realistic", from an engineering perspective.
Now all we need is a bootleg version with the cybteronian tattoos...
Awesome
The paint scheme is totally wrong. He wasn’t that dark in the original 2007 movie. The original looks more screen accurate then this. The BMB is more accurate then this in terms of paint. This is an easy pass for me. Hopefully BMB or AOYI Mech will release their versions me hopefully have the screen accurate paint scheme
Ben. I understand that you didn't receive instructions for this figure. Can't you just watch another review of the official MPM-10?
The arms going into alt mode are a pain. I'm sorry to say I had to go to EmGo's JTI as sometimes the relevant moving part was sometimes off camera or obscured. Would the camera being mounted over your shoulder be a help? Then you would not have to bend forward and reach around your camera. Plus, we'd almost have a Ben's eye view. Just an idea.
I wonder if they'll ever release like a tattooed ROTF version of this.
F22 bro! You are good!🤟
Like mine, your retail packaging took a good kicking! 😡 The only consolation the box artwork was nothing special, but the figure more than makes up for this. 👍
...that transformation is still way too much work that looks more annoying than MP44, MP36, & MP47 combined. Bloody hell, I can only imagine how much of a massive nightmare a MPM Blackout would be...especially since the Studio Series one was a pain in the nuts. I think that I'll stick to the OSKO of SS06 Starscream.
As for the ankle breakage issue...wtf??? That sounds an awful lot like the Legendary Toys LT02. I wonder if those folks (under a new name, perhaps) did this behemoth? 🤔🤔🤔
its an f 22
Takara ROTF Starscream coming. Out may 2023 .. TF you mean!!!🔥🔥
This might go well with Wasp Warrior & other oversized toys, (compared to the regular Mpm-10 size), will be hard to resist getting him...
Edit: I did, although I could only find the tattoo version. I love this matte paint military look, though.
Is there a video somewhere that shows the steps to transform it to jet and back to robot?
Bmb jetfire or studio series jetfire?
What a disappointment I thought it would be an oversized XD XD
I will expect another KO of Black Mamba in scale with the LS-12 and if a DOTM repaint comes out :v
How does it look with the other oversized decepticons?
Am I the only one who thinks the head is too bright?
Yeah, the head is too silverish compared to the rest of the body. That's my only nitpick aside from the camo paint on the alt mode seems a bit too dark but not sure if that's accurate for the actual jet.
@@bulls90s yea same
Got the mpm for cheap at target but honestly what are hasbro doing? In comparison they look like the KO now
How does this compare to the Earthquake Sky Star Wings T-10? Anybody know?
T-10 is larger (35cm in bot mode to the F-12’s 28, if I’m remembering correctly). Other than that I’m not aware of any differences, although I’ve heard Ben say, in his T-10 review that he thought the F-12 was a bit more streamlined. But he didn’t elaborate, so not sure what he meant
I never wanted to buy a bootleg mpm figure but idk I may have to poet this guy.
Except for barricade and optimus, all mpm figure is better on ko's (unless u manage to laid on wei jiang optimus, that was the best optimus)
yeah he is a F22, probably to avoid copyright
Anyone know if there’s going to be a KO MPM Ratchet???
Yup. Jh 01
This one looks way better than the official one.
Doritoscream: Frito Lay needs to make a chip named that.
Does his mouth still open? I was eating to wait for something like this but I couldn’t help myself when the MPM came out.
I was wondering the same thing....and, are the fingers fully articulated as in the original?
@@gcsda1 I looked it up and yes it’s basically the same as the original, not counting the paint and butt flap
Its a great ko, but I gotta admit the transformation sequence was super crappy, you could have shown the arm transformation as you should have, try again and do it right
During the arm transformation you were too far off camera for me to tell what was going on. :(
Why have you replaced all Ts with Ds mate...? x
4:57 oh if Mpm ko Starscream had the color of the BMB figure...
it does have a led light eyes?
Am I the only one who actually really digs the bayverse starscream design?
yes u are the only one in the entire world that likes starscreams design in the movies.
@@akallluy3593 you're such a wisecrack your mom must be proud😊
That was fast
Will you do a review of ko mpm-ratchet?
What do you think the price will be?
Just wish they upscaled it slightly he's a bit too short when you put him next to the likes of Black mamba ROTF Megatron
your wish is granted
movie starscream is a f22 the only one who was a f12 was movie jetfire
how tall is this?
I am waiting for the oversized so I can dump the official turd. I am glad to see the KO is packaged in bot mode, so we can pretend that laughable alt mode doesn’t exist,
God-tier painting, but i still dont like mpm version of Starscream :(
Doritoscream =)
Gorgeous finish. But I just can't get with Bayformers.
It's an F-22
lol many skip
