Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece Mp-11 Starscream

Product Information

After Ratchet and Rarity had discovered how to free Sombra's thralls, the Seekers joined in the final attack to stop Sombra from possessing the corpse of Scorponok. Although most previous versions of the mold have the wingtips swept forward in vehicle mode, Skywarp was packaged and depicted in his instructions with the wingtips swept back. The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Four When Megatron rebranded the Ascenticons, Acid Storm was part of the crowd that stood behind him to display the strength of their cause.

An all new mold transforming into a jet loosely based on an F22 raptor, this figure was initially released and then redecoed as Starscream, and was later redecoed into Timelines Leozack and Skyquake for their BotCon 2009 " Wings of Honor" "Skyraider" bodies. His purple more closely matches that of the original toy than the purple used on the Takara version, and features a lighter flat black, like the original toy, instead of Takara's darker glossy black. Dreadwing was noticeably absent from Starscream's list, despite also being a jet and Thundercracker also being the name/body for a line of drones. The term "Skyraiders" (see alternate terms) was assigned to the prototype Starscream-like air warriors that Skyquake developed at the very beginning of the war. A redeco of Alt-Modes Starscream, Acid Storm is a " super deformed" toy whose body "transforms" when the Decepticon faction symbol on his head is pulled up: in actuality, the robot body and jet mode are on alternate ends of a swing-around arm that swap places inside/outside his great big huge head.This retooled version was used for all subsequent releases of the mold, and was also used as a running change on Starscream. Acid Storm was part of a crowd in Seeker-Shinai that C-81 attempted to disperse through intimidation. This is also the first Seeker mold in many years to attempt an entirely new transformation, with the arms now forming the rear of the jet and the legs folding under the wings. Celebrating Transformers' 35th anniversary, Takara Tomy has upgraded the wicked Decepticon Starscream to their Transformers Masterpiece line.

The holes for his missile launchers in his arms were widened, as were the launcher's insertion pegs.According to Hasbro's BotCon 2008 panel, Acid Storm was originally to be named Rainmaker, then Acid Rain, but those names didn't clear legal. In an effort to placate the eternally feuding cities of Vos and Tarn each was given something of value. In an alternate timeline where Optimus Prime killed Megatron in the Battle of Autobot City, Acid Storm followed the newly upgraded Megascream in his attack on Autobot shuttles leaving Earth.
