Agreed. He would very quickly be on my short list of MP's to acquire.

Well, "Wal-Scream" isn't exactly bone-white like his 2nd Classics deluxe release. He's more of a very light gray with panel lines and battle damage (I blame my smartphone's flash for white-washing him). Aside from the inherent issues with the original MP Seeker mold, the only other problems I have with my MP Screamer are the battle-damage and burn marks tampo'd on him - and I wouldn't even mind those if Skywarp and Thundercracker had them too.

If Hasbro does release MP-11 in the States, I will definitely get him. But I'm quite content with Wal-Scream acting as a placeholder while I play the waiting game.

if hasbro ever gets around to releasing the datsun's.. i'd be afraid of how smokescreen will turn out.. especially when you look at hasbro's universe version compared to takara's.

In Hasbro's defense, Universe Smokescreen's deco was never meant to be G1-accurate. In fact, the overarching theme behind Classics/Universe toys was modern updates to their G1 designs (which included their decos).

But when it comes to MPs, there's no reason to assume that Hasbro will do something that isn't based in G1 somehow, whether it is based on the toon or the G1 toy. TT MP-13/US MP-02 is a prime example of this.
