Transformers Masterpiece Shattered Glass Optimus Prime

When the project was conceived I was mainly working on the products for the overseas Hasbro market, but was given a chance to develop a Masterpiece for the domestic market irregularly. What a treat! I just love it when your little insect feet try to run! Time for a look at the recently released MPM-10 Starscream. This hit globally and has already worked itself to big box and out here in the States. Starscream is the 10th Masterpiece Movie figure, if you include the first 2 from Japan which were high deco versions of Leader Class figures from the time. He scales well with MPM-5 Barricade and MPM-8 Megatron. Screamer features his Movie 1 look with a little artistic license on the grey areas of his jet mode.

Whether or not the cost is worth it depends on your collection preferences of course. They aren’t my main focus right now, but I do like busting out the MPMs and messing around with them whenever something drops. This toy was also EXCEEDINGLY rare to find. Think other toys have a high aftermarket price? This one has NO aftermarket price. Accessories: Left & right fists, 2 missile launchers/cluster bombs, left & right wings, left & right tailfins

Robotmasters Skywarp is a redeco of Starscream from the same series, a re-imagining of the original Generation 1 figure, retaining its basic transformation scheme, but designed to be closer to the animation model, with greater articulation and integrated parts that do not require detachment during transformation. The only pieces that now need to be removed are Skywarp's rifles, which move from his wings to his arms. He has three peg-holes on each arm, allowing the rifles to be mounted on his shoulders, on his forearms, or in his fists. These holes are also designed to accommodate the generic spring-loaded missile launcher weapon included with Robotmasters G1 Convoy, Beast Convoy and Beast Megatron.
