Looks like the 'automorph' feature doesn't ruin this figure. He actually looks fantastic, I'm definitely getting him now!

Isn't the automorph feature supposedly restricted to the Leader-class figures? Did the deluxe Starscream have it?
Meh. I don't think much of it but it does look 10x better with the translucent pieces. The painted windows seen on the test-shot ruin it for me.

Looks ok, needs detailing but a fairly decent look. I think the head needs work though.

"Details of Bumblebee's chest: this figure has a spring action that when the chest folds, the headlights pop out and go forward while the lower part of the front stretches out, as if it was "automorphing" into Bumblebee."
That's automorphing? Minor parts of the transformation are spring-loaded or gear-assisted? I think that sounds quite good actually. Like they took the idea behind Nitro Convoy/Override and integrated it in such a way that the toys can still have a traditional transformation- just with a little bit of 'help'. I think it's a great little play feature, and I'm sure kids will love it.
If only Hasbro had known that TFdom is collectively allergic to the word "morph"...

You know, I may be grasping for straws here, but his face almost looks like it's a bit of a hybrid between the original toy's faceplated...er...face & the classic mouthy one we all know from the show.
....kinda.....
