My problem is the null rays are in the wrong place. They need to be upper arm mounted

Voyagers of that mould would have been perfect. Could have lived with Jetfire that size too.

Agreed all around. Plus, at voyager scale/price point, the molds flaws become much more forgivable. The fake kibble chest, borderline stupid simple transformation, jetpack that becomes useless in robot mode, terrible arms...

TFW2005 are currently reporting that there *is* going to be a Leader Starscream, based on a bio entry that's been found in the TRU computers. But they're *also* reporting that MP Starscream is going to appear back in the US market, too. This is intriguing - which (if any) story is right? Because I can't see them producing two, large-scale Starscream figures in the same year...

Looks great, but I just don't need one that big.

The crown looks removable as the heads are the same. But it's still not screaming BUY ME! In fact the crown is pressing very bad Cybertron Leader Starscream buttons for me.
He really does need upper arm weapons mounts too.
If I was getting one by itself it would have been Starscream. And getting Starscream meant I'd be more likely to get Thundercracker and the inevitable Skywarp.
The bird of prey head on the chest is more obvious here, hadn't spotted the teeth to the sides before.

As Thundercracker is set in my pile of lewt, I will probably bite for this guy as well. Now I just need to find out if my ceiling is strong enough to support them hanging from fishing line..

If they are anything like Jetfire they'll be as light as anything. It's astonishing how little he weighs

Hmmm. I... Yeah. I mean. It's not *bad*. Although, once again, the wings really need more paint apps. Maybe if I can get him cheap, I'll swing for him. But really, if I want a Starscream in that scale (and I do) I'll be going for the Masterpiece reissue. If it comes about.

Seeing this for the first time... Erm, is it just me or does he have a potential weakness between his legs??

Are we talking the jet nose?
Everytime I look at it I see the fans as eyes and the canopy as a beak. I can't unsee it!

That's £50 quid saved on each of Starscream, Thundercracker & Skywarp!

That is one dull looking Starscream Let's face it Starscream's colours are dull. I always preferred Skywarp

In a way I'm quite glad Hasbro are putting out toys I look at and think, nah, because it's a useful reminder that I'm not a completely addicted completist. This line is so good though the rubbish ones are a real rarity. That 'Scream though really isn't very good.
