Subject: The Day You've Been Waiting For

For some the agonising wait is over, for others it continues on. Today is the day the long awaited Transformers Movie is released in theatres. Originally scheduled for July 4th, it got moved down to July 3rd then subsequently July 2nd. This has irritated some movie go-ers as they had booked off July 4th for opening night. July 2nd is an advantage to most of us Canadian folk because for some reason, Canada's day holiday—which is typically the 1st of the month—was shedualed for July 2nd. Sunstar, however, will not be going opening night. No, I plan on waiting several days because I do not much care for crowds and I am patient, I can wait.

There are many Starscream things coming in the future and it has been confirmed that the MP-03 Repaint will be a Hasbro release. Current rumour has it that it will be a Walmart release and sometime in September, so don't quote me on it. There is no current information if this figure will come with the wanted coronation gear. It would be disappointing if it doesn't but it would not turn me off from getting the figure. It could still be a Japanese release if they do decide to add the crown and cape.

It also appears that this repaint will be made in plastic with heavy "battle damage" paint which could improve or unimproved the figure. In any event, this figure will be mine. Oh yes...he shall be mine.

Due to the lack of control with my ball mouse, I have been unable to do my CG art. Disappointing really. However, my creativity will not be squelched. I have many things I can work on even though my mouse is messed up. I have taken to painting my Warhammer Orcs and Goblins army once more and have even joined a campaign over the next month or so. I may at some point add a separate page with my units and models in; however, I would like to fix up their bases. The snow bases I did turned yellow with age. Yellow snow....

Okay and now we get to the GOOD Stuff. I have updated my site with many things over the past couple weeks and I only just got a moment to sit down and write about what has been going on in the Seeker Sanctuary. Starscream...Starscream.. My dearest Starscream....what have they done to you!

In The Movie Vault

I still have yet to get hold of the Voyager Starscream figure, he's out there somewhere but in Wave 2 and I have not yet seen him! Argh!! Anyway, the Burger King Promotion with the Movie toys has started this week in Canada and they have their new toys. The Burger King Starscream toy is a non transforming PVC figure that has a battle damage marker on his chest. It has three positions and when tapped it will flip to the next level of damage.

I will make a note here on some observation, and I will have to watch for this in future figures. It appears that Starscream has six digits on each hand. Not only on this Burger king figure but on the Fast Action Battler as well. It seems that Starscream actually has two thumbs on each hand. It is very odd looking. I was thinking that it was simply a method of making a quicker design, but I am not so sure now. What do you think?

In The Thunderscream Files

I apologise to Thunderscream for taking so long to add his Movie Blackout review. It is a very interesting read and he has put in some interesting points that I did not know about. Read it, you'll want Blackout and Scorponok for yourselves!

In Toys and Games Comics.
