@@OmarGaming-ft5nj MP-01 released in 03 and you say that like it was centuries ago lol. 2009 was only 13 years ago and G1 is goin on 40 real soon so if anything, that is waaaaaaaaay back.
33:34 Takara employee: we need to include that face that appeared for half a second in the 1986 movie when he fires Megatron in gun mode! Takara executive: that’s Genius! You get a promotion!
Considering Masterpiece Megatron has the broken face and chestpiece, I was expecting the product shot at the end was Starscream kicking Megatron like in the movie. :)
Bless you, man. I had such a difficult time parsing the visual instructions because I could only understand like 20% of the Japanese and managed to get just a little farther than the legs before giving up in a fuss and leaving poor Thundercracker like that for several days, lol 😭 You were thorough and entertaining to listen to!
You just answered your own question. He's a G1 "cartoon" But as a masterpiece I'm bit disappointed with this toy. And the size too. He's too short. He always a bit shorter than megatron in the G1 cartoon but not that short.
old masterpiece starscream aims for attention to alt mode realism and extreme mechanical pane lines and details while the newer masterpiece aims for TV animation accuracy in the end i like them both master piece thats why i didnt decide to sell my old masterpiece starscream after the new mp starscream was announced :)
Now buy the DS-01 crimson wings for the accurate back, then all us collectors have to do is manage to merge all 3 into the PERFECT Starscream! We're sooooo close. 😂
The faux chest I guess to keep it looking toon with the opaque window? Who knows. I just know I hate the null ray integrated modes that break the sculpt up with those seam lines.
Another review showed that the two cockpits were actually slightly different shapes, so the one could be accurate to the F-15 airplane model and the other would be accurate to the “look” of the robot modes in the animation.
I've actually seen a few times where he did turn his waist lol, but the animation is full of errors and things that make no sense. But regardless, it's always nice to have articulation than not. The MP-11 mold had no waist swivel and the few figures I have currently based on that I absolutely hate because I just need them to turn their bodies like, 5 degrees to either side and I'd be able to squeeze them into the collection without getting jammed up between figures.
Emgo the one transformers review that stands clearly above the rest. Plenty of good reviewers but Emgo has the passion, the knowledge and skill. Some guys i love but they either don't know how to use their figures or they are purposely trying to make a product look less functional than it really is. Not Emgo. Just straight fun reviews!
Because of emgo's review im starting to consider whether to get this screamer or not. Before this this review it was an easy pass for me. Why im watching this why emgo? I need to sell my kidneys in order to get this
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! I could see $200, since he's already imported it an all, but really, try to talk him down some, although this figure IS expensive, it is by no means particularly "rare," just something to think about. Good luck.
This mold is incredible. Just wish we get a masterpiece galvatron too. Seems like takara is trying to redeem many wrongs from the earlier releases and I'm all down for it
Seriously though how have they not done Galvatron yet, seems like a no brainer with this year being the movie's 35th anniversary and because they did Hot Rod/Rodimus years ago
@@LeopoldLitchenstein Takara keeps their eyes on the third party stuff and prioritizes new figures where they're needed. FansToys' Sovereign is a fantastic figure, nearly perfect, so it's hard to imagine people rushing out to spend über bucks on something that wouldn't be much of an upgrade. Starscream and MP-44 Optimus are phenomenal upgrades that vastly surpassed their predecessors and are worthy of the extra money spent.
You've helped me with my new figures more times than I can count. Bless you. I have 6 Starscreams of various sizes already and will get this one too. A fetish? Perhaps!
Jeeeeez, that's an... INVOLVED transformation! I got Maketoys Meteor maybe a year (or maybe two, time is soup) ago, and it really felt like they were trying to improve upon the Takara design. And it felt like they did in a lot of ways. But this feels like Takara saw that, cracked their knuckles, rolled up their sleeves, and said, "Okay... let's do this!" and just went NUTS. Can't say I don't like, it!
I’m surprised they didn’t do like the Inferno MP figure and include a clear plastic attachment so Starscream could carry Megatron and recreate the “I still function” scene from the ‘86 movie.
God I still remember watching your vids over a decade ago, I don’t watch u much now a days considering I’m much older and don’t really play with toys anymore but it’s good to see that u haven’t changed
Exactly! Just take a look at this quote from Combiner Wars: *Megatron* - "Prime, I hate you with all my heart. But if there's something I hate more....... is that idiot, Starscream". Priceless😂
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.
Yeah, I can't stand this cartoon aesthetic. MP-36 toed the line perfectly, but everything after is too far gone from what I believe was the original intent of the MP line--to give us TF that looked more like what they did on the show, but not right off the screen. I miss the panel lines and stoic faces. I agree with you, MT has the superior updated mold, and MP-11 still looks like he could kick MP-52's ass.
@@MrJahbeez imo mp 11 looks dated and honestly terrible next to the new one. But for those who don't like the toon style there's no reason to complain. Just keep the old mp11 and save money...
@@andreyofdoom Absolutely. To each their own. I went from being a MP snob to really enjoying collecting the WFC line. First time I've been interested in mainline in Y E A R S. All because I couldn't stand that straight-off-the-cartoon look. 😄
Technically, it's two molds, however. MP-11 was based on the MP-3 Starscream mold, but heavily retooled to better match the cartoon and add compatibility to the newly added coronation gear, while this one is a brand new mold.
@@DavidHutchinson0713 Yeah I wondered about that, why this one wasn't 3.0. I guess MP-11 counts as 1.5 and not 2.0? I have both MP-03 and MP-11 and like them both, but I think MP-03's jet mode, while nowhere near toon accurate, looks incredible.
@@shirokuro73 MP-03s jet mode is the absolute best of them all, too bad the wings relies on a small plastic hinge, brittle to too many transformations until it breaks clean off.
He is so expensive tho lol. Really want him. Just will have to wait a while until he is cheaper on eBay so my mom will let me get him. Glad to see you emgo hi.
Apparently in Japan, if you buy the three seekers and submit proof of purchase, you'll get his coronation gear. I am curious if the old versions stuff will work on him though...
GERWalk Mode. Everytime I think about it. I think of it as "Grrrrrrrrrrwalk Mode" where Star Scream just chases you in that mode, somehow foam is coming out of the cockpit to kinda convey him foaming in the mouth like a rabid animal.
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.
They bothered including a gearwalk mode no one cared about, but they could not make the figure stand correctly cause they messed up the feet, good job Takara
This actually lives up to the Masterpiece name. Looks incredible, very clean, and looks like it's fun to transform. I may have to get one. Which also means having to get Skywarp and Thundercracker and probably Ramjet and Thrust. But probably not Dirge, cuz he's a dork.
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.
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.
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.
Takara: includes 'too many' accessories with MP 44 Fans: complain Takara: includes a few less Fans: WhY nO cOrOnAtIoN sEt!? Btw I have this guy I love it and I do think the coronation set should have been included and not an order all 3 seekers bonus I'm just poking fun at one of the most common comments I see. This isn't meant to be taken seriously
I mean, the difference is really in how iconic said accessories are. Starscream's coronation garb? One of his best scenes ever. Many people would display him with it. Optimus Prime with Starscream's head and intakes? Nobody will ever display him like that, for most it would be a complete waste of money. Same thing with the trailer, most people will never use even half the functionality of the thing, but said functionality boosted the price massively. Same reason I personally dislike lights and sounds. Boosts the price for something I will never use and could care less about.
Hello, Emgo. I hope you are doing great. I am on the verge of purchasing this guy but the apparent shade of grey doesn't please me. The problem is some pictures make it seem brighter and others darker, so it seems it might have a "reflective" property that really makes the color pop depending on the way the light hits it. Having it in hand, is the color much darker than MP-36's shade of grey? Thank you for the support. :)
they need to make a starscream that is scaled for holding MP megs just because that would be 1000% insanity and would be an easy way to hype up a "largest transformer" record :D
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...
Well, the real cockpit does end up right where the faux one is, so it doesn't really bothered. It would have been so cool if they went with the Earthrise solution, though.
MP-52 Starscream Version 2.0 is definitely an upgrade, but you're right, it sucks that they didn't include Starscream's face from MP-44 Optimus Prime Version 3.0, it really gave us a nice sneak peek!
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.
There are a few nitpicks I have with certain parts of MP-52, but it's a well designed figure. It only needed to be 10% scaled up. Wish the KO corrected this as well as the dodgy ankles.
He reminded me of Loki too, that or Loki reminded me of Starscream, I think that was when I was trying to think which Marvel Characters would be which Transformers, or the other way around XD

Question: did G1 Starscream ever turned his waist in the G1 cartoon show?
Nope, I actually don’t think he has
Yes but not much. Maybe a 20 degree turn. Just check out the Brigade episode. Lots of ab crunches but little in the way of swivel at the hip
Yeah, I don't recall him ever turning his waist in The Transformers cartoon, actually
You just answered your own question. He's a G1 "cartoon"
But as a masterpiece I'm bit disappointed with this toy.
And the size too. He's too short. He always a bit shorter than megatron in the G1 cartoon but not that short.
@@bphater31 true, he's really, really short...I wish he would be the same height as Soundwave, would have been more appropriate

This is easily the best looking MP seeker we've gotten to date. Having said that, why do they insist on faux chests? This one wasn't even necessary!

The ingenuity that goes into making these figures is insane!
11:00 You should've left it as is. This is perfect!
Others may not like it, but its the peak male physique!
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.
Even though there’s no waist swivel but again I don’t think he did turn his waist in the show but still this truly is worth of the masterpiece logo
I've actually seen a few times where he did turn his waist lol, but the animation is full of errors and things that make no sense. But regardless, it's always nice to have articulation than not.

The opened mouth face sculpt his from the movie when the Decepticons bust into the Autobot shuttle and Starscream fires Megatron at Brawn.

Same thing with the trailer, most people will never use even half the functionality of the thing, but said functionality boosted the price massively. Same reason I personally dislike lights and sounds. Boosts the price for something I will never use and could care less about.
@@griffinkimball2454 you realise that I'm not being serious right? I mean I explained it in the comment that this was a joke and not seriousm
Hello, Emgo. I hope you are doing great.
I am on the verge of purchasing this guy but the apparent shade of grey doesn't please me. The problem is some pictures make it seem brighter and others darker, so it seems it might have a "reflective" property that really makes the color pop depending on the way the light hits it. Having it in hand, is the color much darker than MP-36's shade of grey?
Thank you for the support. :)
they need to make a starscream that is scaled for holding MP megs just because that would be 1000% insanity and would be an easy way to hype up a "largest transformer" record :D
Seeing how good this is makes me excited for Thundercracker and Skywarp!
I wonder if the old version coronation gear works on him... he seems to have the shoulder ports at least...
Yeah the shoulder might fit but the not the cape as the cape need the back piece to hold and nor the crown, his head is too big for it
Is that paint chip in the air intake? Man I am getting worried about QC issues on this guy. That and all the other reviews.
My air intake has an awful smudge. I'm probably going to return it.
Seems like an awful lot of tight movements during transformation.
Makes me nervous
It's on the flat part right on top. Easy to see in jet mode.
Been waiting all day for this.
Thank you

Definitely a better masterpiece than the last one, especially in the robot mode. Great use of the different faces in the skit btw. ;)
The last face is the face he made when he fired Megatron at Brawn
Man, I remember when that Maketoys screamer came out, I didn't think it could be topped. I was wrong.
You scream, I scream, we all scream for starscream!
Ever wonder how many thrown boxes are in the corner of emgo’s room?
If someone could upscale Newage Lucifer, this would have some heavy competition
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...
OMG 'Screamer's facial expressions!!!!!!! Great job Emgo!!!!!
Emgo: I don't want to do the grr walk mode.
Grr walk fans: DO IT!
Looks so much better. Now we wait for the flood of Screamer clones they'll be introducing next 😄
Well, the real cockpit does end up right where the faux one is, so it doesn't really bothered. It would have been so cool if they went with the Earthrise solution, though.
Definitely an upgarde. They did not include Starscream's face from MP-44 though.
MP-52 Starscream Version 2.0 is definitely an upgrade, but you're right, it sucks that they didn't include Starscream's face from MP-44 Optimus Prime Version 3.0, it really gave us a nice sneak peek!
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.
It seems like a third solution to the foot issue is to use the stand.
That too, but not everyone has the space for the stand. I know I don’t lol
its worthy though the faux cockpit peice is supposed to have more of a v shape than straight down
yes i know its a small thing but still
Finally got my hands on this guy. It's my first MP and I'm not sure where to put the extra faces. Is there a storage compartment anywhere?
Just picked up Skywarp. Black and purple us definitely the superior color scheme.
7:24 “Mayday, mayday Starscreams in flat spin descending out to sea!”
I hope we can see masterpiece versions of the Unicron trilogy figures eventually
Agree about the stand you would think they'd know fans would want to pose characters known for flying in flying poses with the effects parts attached!
i really like how hasbro/takara capture those different facial smug face of starscream they nailed it lol
I went and looked up the animation model and that is pretty cool how close it is
I like the hand held null ray. It was shown in the first episode when they attacked jack and bee.
There are a few nitpicks I have with certain parts of MP-52, but it's a well designed figure. It only needed to be 10% scaled up. Wish the KO corrected this as well as the dodgy ankles.
0:59 my heart stopped for a sec😅
Hi the k.o of this one is out now, kosts about s300 less than the orginal and has improvements like metal landing gear etc.
once i got the nose cone loose I worked it back N fouth a little to loosen it a bit.
Emgo can really do a live action starscream voice,its really good!
If I want this, I need to buy 2 of them for jet and robot mode. The transformation was a lot of work. 😧
Starscream's is the Loki of transformers. He looks perfect so series accurate from the cartoon.
He reminded me of Loki too, that or Loki reminded me of Starscream, I think that was when I was trying to think which Marvel Characters would be which Transformers, or the other way around XD
@@optiblue16stopmotion45 yea I totally get that vibe from him, hmmm I could see thundercracker being thor for Loki.
Did you see the newage transformers optimus prime..he's a miniature mp44
Are you ok, Annie? You've been hit by, you've been struck by A smooth criminal
He is the best so far..i wonder if fantoys will do one..will you collect all the seekers?
