No pictures yet, but look at Henkei Starscream www.tfu.info/2006/Decepticon/ClassicsStarscream/starscream.htm and also look up
G1 Starscream www.tfu.info/1984/Decepticon/Starscream/starscream.htm
G1 Skywarp www.tfu.info/1984/Decepticon/Skywarp/skywarp.htm &
G1 Thundercracker www.tfu.info/1984/Decepticon/Thundercracker/thundercracker.htm
You're also referred to the Classics Starscream review for details of articulation and transformation: uk.geocities.com/philip_ayres@btopenworld.com/cl_star.html
Skywarp
Skywarp's been done before in Classics, but this version takes the more G1 accurate Henkei Starscream paint job and uses the paint patterns there with the G1 Skywarp colours. The result is a robot with a similar amount of purple to the one found in the Vs pack with Ultra Magnus, but this time it's a shade more lilac and closer the G1 version. The stripes on the wings are more accurate and in the same configuration as Henkei Starscream. As per Henkei SS the tips of the missile launchers are chromed.
Not a bad toy, but not an essential purchase if you have the Magnus vs pack
Thundercracker
Now Thundercracker was one of the toys lost to the majority of the buying public in the Botcon fiasco. He's back again in a metallic blue that more closely matches the G1 version. All comments about Skywarp apply here too.
There's a persistent assembly error on Thundercracker: The arms aren't screwed together tight enough and as a consequence the missile launchers won't hold in place in the arm sockets properly. This is easily fixed I'm told by tightening the screws or resorting to our old friend the blue tack or the clear nail varnish.
A more essential purchase due to the rarity of the Botcon version.
