Man, the jet mode and robot mode on this are both screen-perfect and gorgeous. Kind of a shame that you have to trudge through nine circles of hell to get from one to the other.
Emgo I just wanted to say you are one of the best tf UA-camrs ever, you always put so much effort into the videos and I just want you to know we all appreciate you! Keep being awesome
@@thelastknull510 true. I also like the enthusiasm that he put in his reviews. He genuinely shows if he likes a figure or not. Plus his JTI's are just awesome. So Emgo, keep being you and do what you do best!
Megatron: goes from tyrant to villainy 101 instructor. Starscream: Chokes while Megatron does an instruction. Someone better animate this, it's hilarious!
Hey emgo! Just wanna say that you've come so far since I've started watching you 7 years ago. From the old T-shirt setup to the old table, its really cool seeing your channel evolve over the years. Good luck man, hope that you grow even bigger!
I love how there is ZERO kibble in robot mode and really enjoy how they handled the rear wings. Though the transformation is most certainly tedious, the amount of possibility is well worth it. On the waist swivel, I prefer a waist swivel over no waist swivel, regardless of any illusion breaks. Amazing review Emgo as I've watched your content for 8 years, and here's to 8 more! Edit: That ending skit was NICE
This is why I've started collecting again. I bought brainstorm last November and I think I've started at an awesome time as the kingdom line is amazing and am waiting on the final beasts in wave 4 to be released in UK stores then I'll try and get the u.s releases like grimlock and skywarp. It is shocking how they are only released in target and the likes in the u.s
Emgo I have been waiting for this review once I saw the short that you made about it. You make even the most frustrating figure fun to watch you review and also fun to transform.
I could just see the caption for that featured shot of "Starscream" @ the start of the video..., ("Vote Starscream for President, He'll get the job done!!!! Even if it's at Your expense!!!!") 🤭 Sound familiar?!?!?
Love the cut away gag mate, it's been a while since there's a longer cut away gag as they're a lot more shorter than those back in around tfp series. Definitely in love with this one and hopefully you can continue making those, they're low-key my favourite part of this channel other than mascot reviews.
The most eligent way to transform this is emgos way, you know why because we a Ll come to emgo to figure out how to transform our figures thank you emgo for using your transformation skills with finesse (whatever that means lol)
That to me is one of the best looking Starscream’s I’ve seen. As much as I like to try and support Masterpiece, safe to say I’ll be picking this up over ‘Screamer 2.0.
I love the skits at the end of these videos. Damn....this thing looks involved, and i struggled with ROTF leader prime when i first got it (TF instructions have ALWAYS been sucky, even the official ones from Hasbro, in my experience)
@@geagenesismaria7379 Its not. The official has its flaws but its still fun to transform him between the modes and easy to learn too, fits better with other Decepticons better and doesnt look like an exclusive shampoo bottle
I hope this company continue with this mould, I really like what they have done with the leg transformation. I would like to see them do the coneheads.
Thanks so much for reviewing this. I have it on the way and I depend on your videos to help me transform my TFs (The Kingdom Rodimus JTI is a money saver!). Now I can rest assured that I can transform this with confidence.
As much as I love my Eagle ko Starscream, I was still disappointed with how gray it was, which is the color of the genuine MP-52, I guess. This one definitely looks whiter, and that, to me, is probably enough of a reason for a purchase, plus it's nice to have 2 Starscreams to display in both modes.
I loved his leg transformations, really really impressive and as per your vids are amazing. It's the only place I can enjoy these ko versions as I can only afford those released in shops and siege jetfire is the most expensive one I've been able to afford and the only masterpiece I own is soundwave and I was amazed at how cheap he was considering the price on some other masterpieces. But at least I can come and view them on your vids. Great work emgo thanks for keeping me entertained. I appreciate all you do for your fans
Oof... well at least he doesn't have bits of rear wings in his regular wings? To me this seems less like an upgrade from the MP and more like "Hey, did those teeny issues bug you? Well at the expense of a headache and a half, we've dealt with them!".
@@leetri To me that's a double-edged sword because on the one hand, it is a figure that looks really good and is more affordable than MP-52 and for some, that's gonna be the deal-breaker but honestly? I feel this is less say looking at paying for Transform Element's OP Leader or MP-44 and more like deciding do you want a headache every time you want to mess with him and really care about the presence of a waist joint and some rear bits in the wings or do you want a figure that works, looks cool and is fine to mess with in both modes.
@@Warthundermobilesucker To a degree, yes but if I'm being honest? MP-52 still is really solid and you get that look without a transformation that's a massive headache.
isnt starscream ALWAYS out of order? i mean starscream never follows orders to a Transformation cog. this is on par with how starscream is. as always love that short you made,
i think those extra hinges on the thighs are actually to accommodate more movement on the legs, i think it allows the legs move forward alot more. some figures have that kind of join but im still not sure
Just got this last week and I say it's worth the money. The transformation isn't so bad after your first time back and forth if you're careful. The articulation of the bot mode is amazing and sturdy.
@@xKslice928x Yeah, I can understand why people are intimidated by the transformation. Because no matter how good you get at this transformation, it’s going to be a chore every single time that you do it. That being said, both moods are amazing, and I think it is the best looking Starscream by far. As far as robot goes I mean. I would almost argue that the meteor version is the better alt-mode.
@@LetsGetitBoah Yes that's something that i guess this figure really has over MP-52, the plastic and the build feels mucho more solid and sturdier than MP-52 which had common issues of stress marks in the tail fins and ankles making them floppy. But the Takara figure has better paint quality tho
While I do say this is a great alternative if you don't want MP Starscream 2.0, I still prefer the official Takara MP in regards to the looks and transformation engineering. Still a good figure overall. And Megs giving us some wise words from a Leader is always a good welcome.
Just got this guy in today. Having owned every other MP Seeker mold (MP-3, MP-11, Maketoys, and MP-52), first impressions are that this thing's transformation is a freakin' NIGHTMARE by comparison. Going from robot to jet mode the first time might have been the most frustrating conversion of a Transformers figure I've ever done. Hopefully it'll get easier with repetition because right now, I'm wishing I had kept MP-52. No contest. He looks great in both modes though.
I mostly agree with you, except on the "most frustration Transformers Figure I've ever done".... as much of a nightmare as DS-01 is, his transformation is still easier than Xtransbots Fuzz.
@@tekcomputers Yeah, I retract my previous assessment about the transformation. After going back to bot mode and then to jet mode again, knowing the steps and how things are meant to move/fold helped significantly. It wasn't really that bad at all the second time around. The way everything explodes and flips reminds me a lot of MP-44. Honestly I feel like MP-44 is more of a pain than this and I got used to it fairly quickly too.
This morning I saw theUA-cam short of the Starscream so I immediately jump to see if you make a video about him but you don’t so I went see an other reviews but if I’d know earlier I would have surly wait till you upload the video. 😅
To be fair I can’t really think of a way they could’ve added a waist swivel without breaking the sculpt. That’s probably the reason why the official masterpiece starscream doesn’t have one.
"I know how opinions work, I hope you do too." Well said. Unfortunately, not many people understand how opinions work nowadays. I look forward to more people learning how they work. :)
My favorite part is that it's designed to look like MP-52. They're that smug and that certain that this is superior to MP-52 that they're basically rubbing it in at this point.
If you take a look at his animation model. That bit of the cockpit that is below the waist line should be white. It helped with how he looked like in robot mode when he was moving his hip around.
Im honestly so excited to add the seekers to my collection, ill be getting masterpiece starscream but the DS thundercracker and skywarp just because in my head its more financially justifiable if theyre different molds xD
just ordered this guy, I like how he looks better than mp52, especially the proportions, I slightly like mp52's backpack better but everything else looks better on this guy
the face starscream has is funny as you transform him , its like he knows how hard he is to transform and is laughing at you
He has no sympathy for what he's doin
Man, the jet mode and robot mode on this are both screen-perfect and gorgeous. Kind of a shame that you have to trudge through nine circles of hell to get from one to the other.
Nailed it

Agreed! They are all amazing and fun!!!!
You can make a review for a frustrating figure fun. I'm not the whole way through yet but you've already made me smile. You rock Emgo!

Imo I miss the mp13 type look of the master piece figures, but I’m glad we are getting cartoon figures, anyways

I love the leg transformation on this figure, great job hiding the jet mode wings and makig the legs look mostly nice and smooth.

The leg transformation, I really love that!

Nice job re-enacting Starscream’s quotes from the 1986 movie there, Mascot.
I agree. Had me giggling.
You made the transformation look easy compared to other videos! 👏👏
I didn't even make it the first 16 seconds, before I laughed my butt off. "Ow my foot!!!!" 🤣
24:14 the best use for the strange joint in his thigh that I've seen is to help get a leg directly behind the other for a walking pose.
That to me is one of the best looking Starscream’s I’ve seen. As much as I like to try and support Masterpiece, safe to say I’ll be picking this up over ‘Screamer 2.0.

Does look better than the official one. Nice review as always emgo
Yea i agree
Look better not. It's completely better than the official figure MP
@@geagenesismaria7379 Its not. The official has its flaws but its still fun to transform him between the modes and easy to learn too, fits better with other Decepticons better and doesnt look like an exclusive shampoo bottle

@@zilvertron What do you mean by "exclusive shampoo bottle"?
This looks smooth as heck and I love it
Damn that was tough, but holly shit! does it look awesome! A Screamer with actually good looking back!
I finally picked up this figure and I knew exactly which channel to go to for my transformation instructions! Thanks, Emgo!
emgo’s videos never get old. been watching since i was like 10
I hope this company continue with this mould, I really like what they have done with the leg transformation. I would like to see them do the coneheads.
Starscream is the kind of character to have an awesome figure and to have a chaotic transformation.
You've managed through a video, to trigger my personal space flags. Bravo.
At least his chest is not fake.
The transformation on this thing is super clean

The end skits made me laugh. :D
This was the best so far, even my wife liked it.
There’s a reason why it’s mistransformed on the box (and in the box, for that matter)… It’s to do the bare minimum to elude copyright infringement
Yeah I think he wasn't saying yes to your questions, Megatron.
Megatron: yes he was, he was just too choked up that he was on TV to say words properly.
i think those extra hinges on the thighs are actually to accommodate more movement on the legs, i think it allows the legs move forward alot more. some figures have that kind of join but im still not sure
The best little stop motion ever
As i ask myself is this the ULTIMATE starscream MP, my wallet shakes in fear lol. Great vid as usual emgo
It is in my opinion, it’s much sturdier and stronger feeling than MP-52. The look and feel in both modes is amazing.

Always love your end skits, thanks again for another awesome review.
thank you for your Just transform it, series.
It's so simple, but the Null Rays actually transforming, even ever so slightly, makes me very very happy

That intro. You only got this for that intro. Didn't you? DIDN'T YOU?! hahaha
That red and gold on the make toys starscream still pops!

As do I
Add garbage cans and four way stops to that,ha ha
This is one of those that would probably get transformed exactly once by myself and never transformed again 😁
AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! amazing skit!!! Esp the bit on the managerial advice!

OMG Screamer has those fancy new booster heels from Stuart Weitzman
Did anyone elses eyes get a weird feeling when he was waggling the nose cone in the camera? XD
I'm sure you tried, but a thought incase. What about moving the arms into place while they still faced back before flipping them up.
oh those skits are my favourite!!
This figure is glorious!! Emgo, you should definitely voice Starscream!!! Love your videos and keep up the amazing reviews!!
That leg transformation, though. Dayumn.
You need to re-release this video in 3D for the bit with the nose cone right in the camera.
The "He said yes"s killed me. XD
If you take a look at his animation model. That bit of the cockpit that is below the waist line should be white. It helped with how he looked like in robot mode when he was moving his hip around.

Hey emgo will you review the flame toys Star saber Victory Lio and victory saver
What a sweaty way to transform it but he looks great
24:20 maybe you can use that joint to make him sit with his legs crossed?
Props to Mascot for the Starscream quotes!!!! 😂
24:19 did you cut the music to add comedic effect?
If so that’s amazing
I was wondering the same thing. Ha ha!
yep :)
Cant wait til you post a just transform it video! I havent transformed my copy yet cuz the instructions suck!
i like the comedic pause of the music @ 24:19
28:22 is the ''new version'' of meteor right?
just ordered this guy, I like how he looks better than mp52, especially the proportions, I slightly like mp52's backpack better but everything else looks better on this guy
Some seriously tricky transformation going on!
As hard as the 'Alternators' series from 2003.
I much prefer Crimson's color to the MP, looks cartoon accurate. That alone gets the gold medal from me.
He also cleans up better, no butt plate, no extended back kibble, and better thighs
I think that this is probably the best MP style Starsceam out there right now. Just my opinion.
reason 10000041 why i like the g1 toys: their remember able and simple transformations
Emgo, I wanted to say thanks for your video. I'm going to get this figure for a stopmotion project...(lot's of work for transformation)
Glad I could help!
