BIRTHDAY BLOG PART ONE - (MP3G) MASTERPIECE GHOST STARSCREAM

I have just had my fourteenth Birthday and wanted to share with you the new Transformers that I got as gifts starting with Takara Tomy Masterpiece Ghost Starscream.

 Starscream was killed in Transformers the Movie. After Megatron was left badly damaged after his fight with Optimus Prime. Starscream walked up to Megatron and said "How do you feel mighty Megatron?" Then he kicks him. He then tells Astrotrain to transform to Space shuttle mode and get the Decepticons out of there. Starscream was going to leave Megatron but Soundwave being loyal to Megatron carried him aboard Astrotrain. On the way back to Cybertron Astrotrain requested that they lightened their load or they would not make it back. So they threw the wounded Decepticons off Astrotrain and into space . They threw Skywarp, Thundercracker and the Insecticons then Starscream threw Megatron out as well. When Megatron had gone all the other Decepticons argued who would be the next leader. Megatron and the others were floating through space by Unicron who reformatted them and Megatron into Galvatron. He went to Cybertron and interrupted Starscream's coronation. When Galvatron flew in Starscream said "Who interrupts my coronation?" Galvatron says " Carnation Starscream! This is bad comedy." Starscream says "Magatron is that you?" Galvatron says " Here's a hint" he transforms into space cannon mode and blasts Starscream to ashes in a single shot.
In series three of the cartoon. The Decepticon deserter Octane is hiding from Cyclonus, Scourge and the Sweeps. He hides in the Decepticon Crypt. He finds the ghost of Starscream who when Cyclonus enters the crypt he possesses him. After convincing them to take Octane prisoner rather than destroying him he goes back to  planet Char where the Decepticon base is located. Cyclous leads Galvatron into a staged ambush by the Autobots. He then goes back to Char to take over as leader of the Decepticons. Galvatron stumbled back injured and attempts to destroy Cyclonus and he thinks he has been betrayed by him. Galvatron blasts Cyclonus but Starscream leaves his body just in time. He hides out on Char.

Later on in the series Starscream ghost possesses Scourge and attacks the other Decepticons. He is not fully in control so Scourge stops him blasting Galvatron. Starscream takes Scourge to Unicron's head which floats in orbit off Cybertron. He reactivates Unicron and asks for his own body back. Unicron says he will do this if he completes three labours for him. The first was to go to Metroplex on earth and steel his eyes. They do this with Scourges help as he is still thought of as a traitor. Scourge drops one of the eyes and it smashes so they had to go to Char and steel one of Tripticons eyes to make up for their mistake.
Starscream possess Astrotrain and uses his extra cargo room to store the eyes. He then takes the eyes to Unicron. He then leaves Artotrain on Cybertron at the mercy of the Autobots. They install the eyes in Unicron.
The second task was to go to Trypticon and bring him to Unicron. They then go back to Char and Starscream possess Tripticon. He takes him pursued by Galvatron and the Decepticons to Unicron and Unicron tells Starscream to install Trypticons transformation cog within him.
The third task was to connect Unicrons head to Cybertron which would become Unicrons new body and he would return. Scourge learning of this warns the Autobots. As The connection is happening the Decepticons go inside trypticon and disable him. Sarscream is unable to make the final connections. He asks for his body back so he can do this. Unicron gives him his body back. Starscream tells him to make the final connection himself and betrays him. At that moment the Autobots plant Energon Explosives just beneath Unicrons head and blow him and Starscream back into space. Starscream is left out of control.,
The next time the ghost of Starscream appears is in the middle of the first series of Beast Wars. When he possess Waspinator. and he declares allegiance to Beastwars Megatron and he tells Megatron that he knows how to defeat the Maximals. Black arachnea  says that Starscream was destroyed centuries ago. Starscream confirms this but says he was destroyed by Unicron when he was defending Galvatron. Black Arachnea knows this is a lie and confronts Starscream later. He then asks Black Arachnea why she did not expose his lie to Megatron. She says that she will help him overthrow Megatron and she wants to be leader. As the Maximals are repairing their base Starscream and the Predicons attack and badly damage Dinobot. The Maximals are forced to abandon the base. Dinobot tells Optimus Primal what he knows about Starscream and how treacherous he is. They make a plan and Dinobot pretends to be dying as Optimus and Maximals go to the base to surrender to Starscream.  They explain the Dinobot is dying and they need the CR chamber to save him. Starscream lets them and catches Optimus Primal and locks him in chains in the base. He then tells the other Maximals to attacks the Predicon base and if they don't he will kill Dinobot and Optimus primal. Optimus breaks three of his chains and frees Dinobot from the CR chamber. He attacks Starscream and Black Arachnea who flee to the Predacon base. The maximals are retreating. Starscream tells them to continue to attack but Megatron sees this on a monitor and  that he has been betrayed.
Optimus comes in and punches Starscream knocking him out of the sky. He lands on top of an Energon deposit causing him to overload with energon. He asks Black Arachnea for help but she betrays Starscream and fires at the energon blowing Starscream back into space and leaving waspinator in pieces.

His jet mode is huge probably Leader class size. It has a ton of gimmicks to make it as realistic as possible to the F15 jet. 
It is hard to know that he is a robot in disguise as his jet mode is so clean of kibble and panel lines. 
he comes with a Dr Aerkiville figure who is translucent so maybe he is dead too. I have kept him in the box so as not to loose him as he is tiny as is the Megatron clip. I also don't have Masterpiece Optimus Pime at the moment. 
he also comes with a nice Figure stand which has a nice purple chrome Decepticon insignia on it.
There is a sticker sheet included with American Air Force Stars as well as stickers with Kremzic on it. I don't add these as it will ruin the ghost look of it. There are also Decepticon insignia's which are pointless as his are painted on
His robot mode is very nice and the figure is raised off the ground which makes him even more ghost like. 
He has some nice gimmicks like the face changing. 
His arms are translucent blue but his hands are white which is a shame but does not bug me too much.
I got the TFC Toys Phantom Screamer Add On Kit. which is the translucent version of the original coronation add on kit. Even his cape is light purple and slightly translucent compared to the original. The lit is great as he actually died during his coronation so it makes sense that he is wearing it as a ghost. 
Overall this is a really nice figure and worth getting but is very expensive and will cost you at least £100 but really worth the money.
