Nice review, peaugh! I bought this for my sister since she is a big Starscream fan and she really likes this. She has the first one and loves it but the new changes that Takara-Tomy made to this version of Starscream is really nice. I am glad that the coronation set is included this time instead of having to purchase the set for the first Masterpiece Starscream.
I missed out on MP 3 so I got this guy to go with my MP Skywarp and I even managed to get MP Thundercracker without selling an organ. The three of them look GREAT together, and the new Screamer really looks the part. Looking forward to your review of MP Soundwave.
Thundercracker, Skywarp, Thrust, Starscream, and random green seeker who you can sometimes see in the background from time to time (for the complete set).
No he does not. The new mold is that this figure and Thundercracker both utilize is the one with the heels. The MP Skywarp doesn't have them, he does however, have the panels that the fold out of, but it is more for decoration. I have one myself and looked at him when I saw your question. Hope this helped out :)
i wish they made mp-grimlock a head bigger than mp-10, i never liked the old mp-seeker mold so i refused to collect them but i am all over this version, i will be picking him up at auto-assembly in a few weeks
I'm hoping we get the Starscream and not just the Thundercracker from this mold. I missed out on the walmart SS but got the SW. I don't want to pay the price that the 2 SSs are going for, I'm not made of money. Great review as always Peaugh.
i seen how close to g1 this was and decided i would buy this without a second thought this will be my first masterpiece figure and i love starscream he is soo treacherous and to me has alot more of a presence in the g1 show that many of the other decepticons despite his backstabbing ways i fucking love him
The F-15c doesn't have the round "extra wide" smooth pieces on the side it's more squared off land flat along the sides but the back of the plain is still tucked up neatly more like mp03 mold unlike the legs of mp11
You'd be surprised. I haven't heard or read anything through the tfsource facebook page, which is where I normally get my TF toy news, and I've not come across a Thundercracker or Skywarp in the Coronation mold. But, like I said, I like the setup I have now. It took me two years to get ahold of Thundercracker. Now I'm trying to save up to buy the Coneheads from iGear.
Peaugh, have you heard anything about Thundercracker and Skywarp being released in this mold? Not that I'm overly fussed; have them both in the old mold and I prefer them that way; I like how my Starscream is that little bit more advanced.
Peaugh my friend, when do you plan on reviewing the Maketoys Devestator now that the set is complete? I got mine in and am eager to hear what you have to say.
Well, it seems like the Coneheads aren't coming anytime soon so I can guarantee that US versions of Skywarp and Starscream using this mold will be forthcoming. I'll just wait for those versions. I will be giving my TRU Thundercracker's head to my WM Starscream, however, that head looks great.
Hey Peaugh, I'm not sure if you've got an MP-3 hanging around, but can the head of MP-11 be taken off and fit on mp-3? My plan is to grab the TRU thundercracker and swap heads with starscream and be content with the end result. So I'm curious if it'd work out.
The only thing I wish they had added... and this is a picky as you can POSSIBLY get...is a way to rotate the Decepticon symbols on the wings to be upright instead of upside down.
My brother got Skywarp when he was like 4 and he like destroyed it. it is kinda really sad. He is missing a waist part, weapons, his face doesn't work, and his cockpit part doesn't click in right.
Ahh, okay. I'm British, so that might explain a few things. I wonder why Takara haven't (yet) bothered to do the Coneheads. In any case, I hope they come out with a new Megatron in a more manageable scale.
thundercracker is going to be this mold :D but i already have the hasbro masterpiece starscream and dont need a second masterpiece version and since the new thundercracker is going to cost about 1/2 the price off this starscream, im getting thundercracker. cool to have 2 seekers, but slightly different :D
The curved pieces that you are talking about are CFT's (conformal fuel tanks) on what you referred to as the real jet (and being a part of the MP 03 Starscream). There are two types of F-15's. One is the F-15 E and the other is the F-15 C. The F-15 E has the conformal fuel tanks (what the MP 03 Starscream was based on) whereas the F-15 C does not have conformal fuel tanks (what the MP 11 was based on). Therefore, the MP 11 design is based on a real-life F-15 just as the first MP release was. In other words, there is a real-life version of F-15 jet for both of the MP molds (being that there are two types of F-15's). Again, the MP 03 Starscream was based on the F-15 E and the second MP Starscream (the MP 11) was based on the F-15 C.
+TFIta369 Actually, the Vulcan cannons are situated in the wing roots (the pointy part of the wing that sits above the curved parts) not the curved parts (conformal fuel tanks) themselves. Where the toy and it's original mold is concerned, they made the wing roots and the conformal fuel tanks (curved parts) one piece. So, technically, you're correct where the figure is concerned. However, even though they made them one piece, the wing roots are still simulated and that's where the cannons are situated.
+TFIta369 No, I've never seen one in real life. I've just done a lot of research on them (thanks to Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp). Doctor who? Just kidding :)
Is there any plans for Hasbro to release a US version of MP11 masterpiece Starscream? I've already gotten Hasbro's Thundercracker ver.2, and Optimus is on pre-order. I've only started collecting figures since last year (mainly Yamato & Bandai Macross VF-1). Thundercracker was my first masterpiece figure and now I'm hooked. I just wish I got Grimlock when he was sold by Hasbro :(
I hope they bring this to the states, and I mean the actual Starscream, with or without coronation set, not really interested in Thundercracker. I also hope they bring over Soundwave.
So the wing joints (around the old black, now grey, hinge parts) aren't as scary to fold up in robot mode? That's good. My WalMart Starscream eventually broke at that point :( I think I like this mold better, but I like the color on the WM one better :( I think I'd rather just plug and unplug the null rays. This seems a bit over complicated for a less secure solution.
Does he have the missile nipples? I will say that he looks good, but seems to be missing quite a few picked out details, he seems almost bland on camera. I do like all the changes made, might have to pick him up.
i rememebr i got one similiar to this but he was black with purple and it was a walmart exclusive. i cant belive i returned it.im ashamed. does anybody know what the name of the one i got couldve been?
This toy is amazing and I will pick it up because they fixed these issues. Worth it for me now. Thanks for reviewing it.
Nice review, peaugh! I bought this for my sister since she is a big Starscream fan and she really likes this. She has the first one and loves it but the new changes that Takara-Tomy made to this version of Starscream is really nice.

Coronation Gear really brings extra touch to this version.
I missed out on MP 3 so I got this guy to go with my MP Skywarp and I even managed to get MP Thundercracker without selling an organ. The three of them look GREAT together, and the new Screamer really looks the part.
Looking forward to your review of MP Soundwave.
That cape for his coronation gear is epic.
finally snagged this from bbts, they recently got restocked. well worth the price. one of my favorite masterpieces.

North America came out with a Thundercracker in the MP-11 mold, although I agree Skywarp would be awesome as well if it came out
Totally picking up that new Thundercracker comming out later on.
Great review! It's interesting to see the differences between this and MP-3
i wish they made mp-grimlock a head bigger than mp-10, i never liked the old mp-seeker mold so i refused to collect them but i am all over this version, i will be picking him up at auto-assembly in a few weeks
This looks great but i still love the weathered white paint on the mp-03.
i love this figure
Yes. Not that it was ever that secure, but the hands are the same.
is it possible to mod the smirkyface onto this bigger head? If so, I'm sold.
I'm hoping we get the Starscream and not just the Thundercracker from this mold. I missed out on the walmart SS but got the SW. I don't want to pay the price that the 2 SSs are going for, I'm not made of money. Great review as always Peaugh.
Awesome figure! I hope to someday get all of the MP seekers, official or otherwise. great review! :D
Cool review I just preorder mine from tfsource can't wait.
i seen how close to g1 this was and decided i would buy this without a second thought this will be my first masterpiece figure and i love starscream he is soo treacherous and to me has alot more of a presence in the g1 show that many of the other decepticons despite his backstabbing ways i fucking love him
Gonna get v2/3 next summer?
The F-15c doesn't have the round "extra wide" smooth pieces on the side it's more squared off land flat along the sides but the back of the plain is still tucked up neatly more like mp03 mold unlike the legs of mp11
The original MP-3 starscream was an F-15E and this mold is an F-15C but he looks cool
You'd be surprised.
I haven't heard or read anything through the tfsource facebook page, which is where I normally get my TF toy news, and I've not come across a Thundercracker or Skywarp in the Coronation mold.
But, like I said, I like the setup I have now. It took me two years to get ahold of Thundercracker.
Now I'm trying to save up to buy the Coneheads from iGear.
I wish I hadn't bought MP-3...
Back in those days it looked great but this updated version is so much better :/
NIce review. I have MP1 SS and I am still mad that the wings broke on mine. Where can I pick this guy up at ?
Best MP ever!
@darthalucard I got the mp3 mold of skywarp for $20 at walmart. Was like 2 years ago thou but there was one released
I've not tried it myself, but I can't see there being a problem.
You'd think they took it into consideration when they designed the cape.
skywarp did come out as a masterpiece a couple years ago as a walmart exclusive
Peaugh, have you heard anything about Thundercracker and Skywarp being released in this mold?
Not that I'm overly fussed; have them both in the old mold and I prefer them that way; I like how my Starscream is that little bit more advanced.
where have you been for the past six months?
Yup, I got him at Wal Mart after Christmas a year or two ago (or so?) for $20.
Peaugh my friend, when do you plan on reviewing the Maketoys Devestator now that the set is complete? I got mine in and am eager to hear what you have to say.
Well, it seems like the Coneheads aren't coming anytime soon so I can guarantee that US versions of Skywarp and Starscream using this mold will be forthcoming. I'll just wait for those versions. I will be giving my TRU Thundercracker's head to my WM Starscream, however, that head looks great.
The coronation gear he wore for about twenty seconds.
Hey Peaugh, I'm not sure if you've got an MP-3 hanging around, but can the head of MP-11 be taken off and fit on mp-3? My plan is to grab the TRU thundercracker and swap heads with starscream and be content with the end result. So I'm curious if it'd work out.
Hey peaugh i really like your videos. Im new to youtube. I wanted to know how do you do the music like that.
The only thing I wish they had added... and this is a picky as you can POSSIBLY get...is a way to rotate the Decepticon symbols on the wings to be upright instead of upside down.
If, and WHEN, this guy is released in the US, I am SO getting him. I don't have a Starscream.
just another reason we need a masterpiece galvatron.
love it
Not sure if I prefer the old version which I have, or am just bitter and jealous that this new one is better.
My brother got Skywarp when he was like 4 and he like destroyed it. it is kinda really sad. He is missing a waist part, weapons, his face doesn't work, and his cockpit part doesn't click in right.
True, but for every three Starscreams, and every two Thundercrackers, you're lucky to get one Skywarp, it seems, sometimes.
Peaugh you were sayin the thundercracker will be a ToysRUs exclusive, does that apply to the Uk as well or just America?
Yes! I got my channel back!!!!!
awesome review. Whens the us versions coming?
I'll wait for MP-12 the grey ash version of Starscream that can crumble to pieces like Waspinator
Does the movement on the airbreak part allow the cape to tilt back? As though he's facing into the wind.
peaugh are you coming to the tfcon this month
that..is an awesome figure.do want.
do you know whwn the habro mp 10 will come out and will u review the tru thundercracker when it released
the cape make me want him in black and a mp galvaton, to re create his death scene
Your AWESOME
Peaugh, they have already relesed mp skywarp
Ahh, okay.
I'm British, so that might explain a few things.
I wonder why Takara haven't (yet) bothered to do the Coneheads.
In any case, I hope they come out with a new Megatron in a more manageable scale.
Quick (and likely dumb) question: Do you have plans to get a version of the upcoming MP-12?
Thanks for the look at this very cool figure.
thundercracker is going to be this mold :D but i already have the hasbro masterpiece starscream and dont need a second masterpiece version and since the new thundercracker is going to cost about 1/2 the price off this starscream, im getting thundercracker. cool to have 2 seekers, but slightly different :D
Anyone know when the American version will come out? Thanx!
Starscream final moments
"Megatron? Is that you?"
Peaugh: Is the Coronation gear compatible with MP-03? And can this version hold the mini Legend-class Megatron and/or the megatron from MP-01?
Can he still hold Legends RTS Megatron?
King Starscream
If its in good scale with MP10 then spike should fit in the cockpit. Does he?
The curved pieces that you are talking about are CFT's (conformal fuel tanks) on what you referred to as the real jet (and being a part of the MP 03 Starscream). There are two types of F-15's.

The vulcan guns were also in the curved white pieces next to the red shoulder pieces. :)

metalgear1534 Oh, ok, thanks. Hey, have you seen an F-15 in real life? You know a lot about them. Are you Doctor Arkeville? :P
+TFIta369 No, I've never seen one in real life. I've just done a lot of research on them (thanks to Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp). Doctor who? Just kidding :)
metalgear1534 Lol. :)
ok thats so wierd... a tractor trailer is larger than a jet, and a boombox is larger than both of them?!
Is there any plans for Hasbro to release a US version of MP11 masterpiece Starscream?
I've already gotten Hasbro's Thundercracker ver.2, and Optimus is on pre-order.
I've only started collecting figures since last year (mainly Yamato & Bandai Macross VF-1). Thundercracker was my first masterpiece figure and now I'm hooked. I just wish I got Grimlock when he was sold by Hasbro :(
I hope they bring this to the states, and I mean the actual Starscream, with or without coronation set, not really interested in Thundercracker. I also hope they bring over Soundwave.
I want to see a Masterpiece Punch/Counterpunch. I love double-spies!
When are they going to make new seekers?
Can you do the Japanese TF Prime Arcee Arms Micron reveiw?
Do u have a date that MP thundecracker is coming out ?
when and where is the next botcon plz answer
this is better than the earlier starscream. he has a bigger head and no annoying ines!
will he be coming to America???
If only there was a chance that someone would do a reissue of any of the combiner teams from G1, preferably with mostly die-cast pieces...
"Megatron is that you?"
I have one question: How long is the jet mode?
Mp-11 thundercracker date??
Good vids keep it up
Why didn't you show off the cape and helmet?
So the wing joints (around the old black, now grey, hinge parts) aren't as scary to fold up in robot mode? That's good. My WalMart Starscream eventually broke at that point :(
I think I like this mold better, but I like the color on the WM one better :(
I think I'd rather just plug and unplug the null rays. This seems a bit over complicated for a less secure solution.
It's basically Malibu Stacey with a new hat.
Ah, ok then. Much more in my price range. Thanks!
Got so lucky this morning. Toysrus.com had MP Thundercracker in stock for shipping, $56. WIN
Hope they redo Megatron!!
how big is the lil plastic dude compared to spike?
is this the Takara Tomy Masterpiece MP-11 or the Takara Tomy US version Masterpiece Starscream?
"Here's a hint!!"
Does he have the missile nipples? I will say that he looks good, but seems to be missing quite a few picked out details, he seems almost bland on camera. I do like all the changes made, might have to pick him up.
"Here's a hint!"
I would still like us to get this starscream anyways even if we got the other one
6:36 "King pop-off" strikes again! lol!
what did he say his name was?
Takara is rereleaseing!
"OOOHHHH MY FOOT"!!!!!
10:45 bottom right corner, i see leo peeking through
i rememebr i got one similiar to this but he was black with purple and it was a walmart exclusive. i cant belive i returned it.im ashamed. does anybody know what the name of the one i got couldve been?
Paulo Skywarp. You probably figured that out already lol
Megatron? Is that You?
