You Know by looking at his shoulder cannons the lower barrels have Pegs on them could this mean the two barrels attach elsewhere and he'll have the missiles included as well?

Maybe the barrels plug back into the arm sockets and become belly guns in fighter mode?

I really like it!

I especially like the way the ailerons fold back to give the wing it shape. And I'm really curious to see the transformation. Where do the arms fit in Alt mode? :?

My only gripe also would be the size. Wish he was closer to MP Prime's size.

robot mode he is going to stand 10" tall

plane mode is going to be 13" long.

he is just upto mp primes elbow, not a bad size, but doesnt realy fit in with other mp or alts, he is very in between them both

I thought he was supposed to be 10" tall not nine. Anyone know for sure?

Isn't the 220 in the pic the height in millimeters? Because that would convert to a 8.66 inches. Which is about the same size as Alts. Maybe I'm all messed up.

Transformation looks pretty interesting. It's nice to see a Starscream with proportional arms.

Hope Hasbro releases him as well.

Looking at the pic again. just noticed that the starscream shown looks like he's proportional to the alts like the old g1 seekers and the g1 cars

Personally I like the idea of him being smaller than Prime. Any idea on what the scale ratio is though? Thats the part thats going to annoy me. Prime's already out of sink with alternators ratio wize. Would have been nice to keep starscream in sink with something.

You can sort of eyeball his size by judging from the size of the screws in his legs and canopy!

so is anyone else blown away by the moving nuckle mid finger! HasTak is finally catching up on their hands. I mean with the price of Masterpiece figs they should be able to make decent hands.

Blasphemy!!!!

I have half a mind to go up to Canada and pistol whip you with Nerf Megatron!




j/k :D

What don't you like about it? The only thing I wish they would change is the feet. The ones on Classics Starscream are better IMO.

I don't mean to cause a riot, I just think there are some strange parts like the fitup of the shoulders and the canopy sits a little too deep in the chest and the fingers have an almost afterthought look to them. It could be that it is just a bad pic\angle but I will wait and see the final outcome. Once again, Please don't riot or nerf whip me!!!!

Nerf whip?

Is that what they'd call being bludgeoned with Classics Megatron's alt mode?

I thought pistol whipping was just a crack over the head and not necessarily bludgeoning to death?? Although I suppose it is Megatron so a bludgeoning would probably be the most likely outcome.

Hehe, Nerf Megatron *wipes tear from eye*

Yeah. Classics Screamer looks better than that. Classic's Starscream also has a more F-14 like canopy.
