Title:
Starscream MP-11 Coronation
Description:
Starscream/New Emperor of Destruction Starscream (March 31, 2012)
ID number: MP-11
Accessories: Crown, pauldrons (left and right), cape, 2 null-rays, hologram pilot figurine
Following up on the original plan for the Masterpiece Starscream figure six years after the fact, MP-11 decks Screamer out in his coronation gear from The Transformers: The Movie, including crown, twin shoulder pads, and a sculpted plastic cape (rather than a fabric one). In addition to his new accessories—which also include a new hologram pilot figure in place of Doctor Arkeville—Starscream features some extensive retooling to wind his Masterpiece design away from Kawamori’s original, less Generation 1-accurate look, with most of the robot mode being newly tooled parts, including chunkier legs that now incorporate his tail-fins, retooled shoulders and wingtips that no longer curve into one another, a new head (with collapsible head fins), new heel spurs that flip out for added support in robot mode, and re-engineered null-rays attached to extending armatures that mean they no longer have to be removed for transformation. Despite the similarity to the original MP-3 prototype, the retooled parts are in fact a whole new design heavily based on the original concept. This new version of the mold was redecoed into Sunstorm and (without the coronation gear) into Hasbro’s Thundercracker, Skywarp and Acid Storm. It was later retooled into the Coneheads Ramjet, Thrust and Dirge, although the mold by that point had noticeably deteriorated, resulting in numerous quality control issues.2013 saw a China-only re-release of MP-11 Starscream. While announced as the same as the original, it featured some changes. Chief among them is the head is no longer molded in light gray plastic painted over gloss black and dark metallic gray (for the face) but it’s molded in a more cartoon accurate dark gray (for the helmet) and a lighter metallic gray for the face. This release also features the nosecone molded in light gray plastic rather than molded in blue and then painted over light gray. The black tabs on the top of the jet are now the same grey as the rest of the jet. It also included a collector’s coin like the original Asian (excluding Japan) release.This version was released by Hasbro under Generations co-branding
