I swear, this is how kids saw the G1 toys back in the 80's

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. :)

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!

Emgo:screamer is plotting something Me: its star scream he's always plotting something lol.

There’s something about the G1 design that I love. Keep these reviews coming

You are SO good at showing transformations! Never an errant shadow, never a detail missed! You are a master of your craft, sir.

The fact that Starscream can do POG face is enough for me to buy this figure XD

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 :)

That transformation is beyond insane! So slick! very well thought out. Great work as always Emgo.

The ingenuity that goes into making these figures is insane!

I’m still waiting for the moment that we get his coronation garb.

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!

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

11:00 You should've left it as is. This is perfect! Others may not like it, but its the peak male physique!

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!

SHOW THE GERWALK MODE! YES! I love Macross so much :)

Question: did G1 Starscream ever turned his waist in the G1 cartoon show?

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 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.

WOW! It's Starscream in a red diaper. Makes sense after Megatron's done kicking his ass.

Another great review ! You must have been on fire after that Nero transformation, making this one look so easy lol

2:16 I just had some pretty messed up flashbacks. Thanks Emgo xD

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

Megatron has overslept! I declare myself NEW LEADER of the Destrons!

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.

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!

Been waiting all day for this. Thank you

" multiple shades of gray, but not fifty" 😆

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!

1/6/22- Just transformed my MP Starscream: oh the joy! The cartoon accuracy is truly spot-on.

The gasp and slide back with the face change in the skit is perfect

I missed that line the "because it's perious oh so precious."

Dude! You are really, really, reaaaaaally helping me, so much, soooooo much with these reviews! Every time I want to buy a new figure I check first to your channel if you have the figure i want and yo do man! Thank you very freaking much! aaaaaaaaaa lot! keep on the good work man! :D

I scream, you scream, we all scream for Starscream

Love this Starscream version. Hope to have it soon.

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!

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

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.

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.

Seeing how good this is makes me excited for Thundercracker and Skywarp!

Finally, a Screamer worthy of the name: Masterpiece!

Lol. Love the skit at the end. Bravo!

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.

Before the review , i told myself no way am I going to plough down my hard earn dough for a mere toy. After the review, i realise my will is weak lol.

Looks great. Would be cool if they added a crown and cape as accessories too.

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.

I went and looked up the animation model and that is pretty cool how close it is

shame that he didn't come with his coronation crown

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...

"I''m a smooth screaminal" I honestly died at that part and this is why ur my favorite transformers reveiwer

I usually always check out your reviews first Emgo but I ran across 2 other reviews lastnight on this starscreem and in both the guys are have the same issues... loose feet and losse wing tips the long one right behind the legs that fold up and loose display stand ... anyways another great review from yea 👌👍 figure does look good though 👌

Hey Emgo,great Starscream voice impression.

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.

Looks so much better. Now we wait for the flood of Screamer clones they'll be introducing next 😄

33:24 “You can’t keep me in here, Megatron!! AAAAAAHHHH!!!!”

Megatron might hated Starscream worse than Prime...

Fun fact - I was using CW Starscreams crown on my old MP mold, but it is too small for this figure.... Smaller figure but bigger head.

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.

IT LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE FIRST ONE. This is the masterpiece update figure that we needed the MOST

OMG 'Screamer's facial expressions!!!!!!! Great job Emgo!!!!!

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

Looks great and can't wait for the almost guaranteed upgraded and polished KO

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.

I like the hand held null ray. It was shown in the first episode when they attacked jack and bee.

27:28 Made my day Lmao😂 Thanks emgo!

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.

Definitely a better masterpiece than the last one, especially in the robot mode. Great use of the different faces in the skit btw. ;)

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.

I just got Skywarp yesterday and he's perfect, imo :D I'm so happy with this figure! Im looking to get Thundercracker next :)

If someone could upscale Newage Lucifer, this would have some heavy competition

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.

Definitely an upgarde. They did not include Starscream's face from MP-44 though.

Glad to see them come bk out with the newer mp starscream. Some people get so upset about these third party non licensed stuff but honestly some of them are better then the licensed products. Think if wasn’t for those third parties pushing the quality we would may never seen this Star scream like this

I have the original Masterpiece Starscream still in the box (very carefully opened) and wrapper (all drool marks carefully removed) and the Walmart recolour, but heck... I want this one, now!

I hope we can see masterpiece versions of the Unicron trilogy figures eventually

I’m sad I had to cancel mine but seeing him makes me excited for Thundercracker and Skywarp

i really like how hasbro/takara capture those different facial smug face of starscream they nailed it lol

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!

It should be noted that the faux cockpit is kind of an engineering flex considering the real cockpit ends up directly behind/beneath the faux one.

Emgo can really do a live action starscream voice,its really good!

I love how Starscream and the other jets have seats in the cockpits despite being Decepticons, who all despise humans. Just a bit of irony

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.

Best one yet. Can’t wait to get this figure. Always love your content man. Keep up the great work

Just picked up Skywarp. Black and purple us definitely the superior color scheme.

Man, I remember when that Maketoys screamer came out, I didn't think it could be topped. I was wrong.

This video just made my decision for buying this Screamer!!!

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.

Best use of alternative faces

He looks awesome

Awesome mate

Two questions. Does the effects parts work for the megs gun that comes with Soundwave? Also does the coronation set work on him?

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

The last face is the face he made when he fired Megatron at Brawn

What a great figure!

Ohhh! One of this days Megatron! Starscream quotes from Transformers Devastation

It won't be long before we get some 2.0 coneheads

Now I'm coming back here to see how to Transform Thundercracker

If I want this, I need to buy 2 of them for jet and robot mode. The transformation was a lot of work. 😧

Bravo! I need him.

Thundercracker and skywarp would be missing, complementing the seekers
