For the original version of the Classics Starscream and it's recolours see philstfreviews.site11.com/clStarscream.html
For the remoulded coneheaded version and it's recolours and remoulds see philstfreviews.site11.com/clRamjet.html
So the Henkei Exclusive Moulds then get recycled for the Western Market in the Generations toyline.
Thrust gets a makeover: The grey of the wings becomes a dark brown, the red becomes darker and the canopy goes from clear to orange. He retains the chrome in the cockpit but looses the chrome ring on the missile launchers which is now the same colour dark red/purple as the jet as are the missiles bringing it in line with the original. Another part that has similarly changed from grey to red is the wheels that fold down from the body and become the chest fans in robot mode. The removable fan units - mounted under the tail in the package - come with a Decepticon symbol on the non tabbed side of the fans. The wings loose their white stripes and Decepticon symbols, but gain dark red and white stripes along the front of the wings again like the original Thrust.There's also a slight remould to the wings gaining two small circles on either side of the wing close to the body.There's what looks like a slight remould to the wings gaining two small circles on the top side of the wing close to the body, but close examination reveals these were previously on nthe underside of Henkei Thrust's wings: The wings have swapped sides and are now upside down to how they were mounted before.
Robot mode sees the feet, hands and forearms change colour from the red to the dark brown again more in line with the original.
So given the choice between the three Ramjets I think the cheaper more G1 accurate colour scheme of Generations Thrust wins every time.
