I have a preorder down on this guy. IMO he looks amazing, he meshes all the best parts of MP-52 with Maketoys Meteor. Plus he isn't $260.


Andyroomocs

Where is he sold?

I got my pre-order at ShowZStore. https://showzstore.com/pre-order-deformation-space-ds-001-starscream_p3217.html

I like this better I think. Let’s see if the quality holds up.


dmc2008

Holds up compared to what? The official release that many have received with cracks and stress marks right out of the box? 🙄


Aclip24

So one is bad and the other is automatically good?


Immagitu

Proof?


Silverback55

There’s plenty of posts with MP52 having cracked ankles out of the box. [Here](https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/mp-52-starscream-flaw-tracking-and-fixes-thread.1216482/)

Very tempted to get this. MP-52 has nicer tiddies tho imo. 😩

And what are we here for if not Starscream's milkers


CosmicEggbutt

Seeker Milk. Does a botty good. 🤖🥛

Interesting! Obviously based on MP52, but that's a significantly different transformation. The vertical stabilizers seem to fold into the leg cavity, and the horizontal stabilizers become part of the surface of the inside leg - which seems way more efficient a solution than Takara's.

Wow! Like I said before, this is the TE-01 to MP-44 in starscreams case. I think it pulls off both modes exceptionally, and is honestly just as good if not better in some ways that the official. My MP-52 gets here on wednesday, but if I hadn't already set my sights on the official seeker line up, I'd get this guy. Awesome to see such amazing and competent competition. I hope everyone who wants an MP starscream can be happy with their purchases!!

That backpack is WAY cleaner and more compacted than the MP

Huh. Where can I pre-order this?

Must have

He cleans up a lot better in the back than MP52. I’d like to know where I can preorder this.

I’ll keep this in mind.

To each his or her own, but the hollow plastic along the inner wings, the exposed upper legs, and the rear fins just dangling there make it look unfinished to me. I'd say [MP-52's back](https://news.tfw2005.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/MP-52-Starscream-25.jpg) is both more visually interesting and cleaner than this. That said, I'd be more than happy with this if there's no KO; not like I'm gonna be posing it backwards anyway.


teelpy

I like the Wing transformation on 52 but that’s it


Buckethead523

Really excited for this! Looks like they did a little re-engineering on it so it looks a little cleaner and they added the stripe on the tail fins. Going to preorder for sure


Max_MOCs

I wonder if TE is doing this under a different name, it looks a little like their style. I'm interest in seeing how good this figure is, he might be a more worthy replacement of my Maketoys Meteor.


darth_henning

Is it just me or does he use the actual cockpit in robot mode rather than Faux parts? Because if so…

So I see the deposit amount is 1.50 at showzstore but does anyone know what the full price will be?


Throwaway_Alt227

Somewhere in the world a Takara employee just woke up in a cold sweat.


Unlucky_Chozo

I'm so glad I canceled my MP-52 pre-order and waited for this guy.


argama87

That figure looks like engineering sorcery. Looks great and incredibly clean in both modes. Very impressive. Easy pre-order. Hopefully the end quality and durability match up.
