Generation One Based Figures - The Masterpiece Line

Motto: "Conquest is made of the ashes of one's enemies"
I remember walking through a Toys R US one year and saw the MP Optimus Prime and said to my partner “Would it not be awesome to get a Starscream like that?” It was not too long after that that the MP 03 Line was announced. It would be a figure, like many of its previous incarnations, that would see a number of repaints as well as the fan favourite “Ghost” version.
There have been a few third party additions for this figure which includes highly articulated hands – which blend in supremely with the original colours of the figure. And yes, Sunstar does have these hands. Starscream can now shamelessly tell the world where to go.
That aside, the amount of detail of the Masterpiece lines truly makes this figure a work of art and technical engineering. Not only does it match the G1 Starscream very close in appearance, they also match him well in colourations. Retools in later versions also matches his body a little more accurately to cartoon as well.
The Masterpiece Starscream also comes with a tiny Dr. Arkeville character.
