Hasbro says follow the Leader.

Much of the Transformers fandom has been mesmerized by the complexity, and magnificence of Leader Starscream. GenZhao of KOToys.com wets our appetites by showing off several pictures of the monstrous figure. Of note, Starscream looks to stand a little bit taller than Leader Megatron. Starscream has visible Decepticon logos in alternate and robot mode. This Leader Class figure looks like it blows the previous two Voyager molds out of the water. I could go on, but I think this time the pictures can do that talking.

Of note, there is only one missile that is in these pictures, but GenZhao says that there is two released with the product. You can check out the original thread here.

I just had the biggest fangasm ever. I'm thinking hellkitty and other Starscream fangirls heads have exploded.

Alt mode looks nice but the bot mode is not as nice as I initally thought.. well based on this pics anyways.. still on the fence..

Hehehe. I guess staying up late doing lab work pays its dividends.

Merging the two...

Nice. The hand/launcher is pretty awesome.

If I had to nitpick one thing it would be the brighter paint on the "nose" area. But that won't stop me from buying it.

Also, anyone notice that Scavenger is bluer than we've seen previously?

F**king epic!
Now we finally get to see actual toy images and damn that thing looks awesome, I can't wait to see the inevitable repaints, aking to Deep Space and G1 Seekers.

Damn!! me want...me want alot. Man, hasbro did a awesome job for SS alt mode and bot mode, but i feel he needs alittle more paint detail in the face, then he will be perfect... any release dates are after the first if the year i presume....

Tue Nov 03, 2009 10:16 am

is it just me or do the colors look a bit off? i thought the colors on the voyager rotf starscream looked pretty accurate (even though the figure has its downfalls)

Tue Nov 03, 2009 10:37 am

now if they only release a Blackout or Grindor Leader class toy

Tue Nov 03, 2009 10:41 am

id rather see a leader Fallen so that it would be more to scale with the other figures...or a huge ass demolisher would be nice!

While I'll never be a huge fan of the "monkey body" look of movie Starscream, this is a really well engineered version of the character.

I like the RotF Voyager as well, but this will definitely get a spot on the shelf.

Bloody monkey arms. Just gotta hope I can kitbash it.

The mold is amazing... but a couple things bother me.

1. The paint sucks... hopefully this isn't the final color scheme, as there are no detail work at all...

2. Where the hell are the jet engines that were supposed to be on his back?

Tue Nov 03, 2009 12:19 pm

Wow, very nice. He just needs touch-up paint on the hands and chest. I hope the left arm can convert back to a regular hand!!

Tue Nov 03, 2009 12:27 pm

Ah, crap.

This mold does look cool, but it has its flaws. I wish he was shorter. Now I'm stuck on the problem of which Starscream to get. It's either this or the 1st movie Voyager Deep Space Starscream. can someone plaese help me decide on which one to get? :???:

Tue Nov 03, 2009 12:29 pm

That thing is epic! Not a 100% sure about the cyber-glyphics though. I'd hold out for a Deep Space or G1 repaint, but I'm not sure I can wait that long.

*gasps for air* CAN'T... *gasps* BREATH! *gasps* Too overwhelmed... *gasps* by this figure's... *gasps* MAGNIFICENCE!

News Credits: 3 · Tue Nov 03, 2009 12:35 pm

Been waiting for a gallery like this, more so than just the box art. I still love the mold, but I have one question: WHY CAN'T HASBRO MAKE JUST ONE ACCURATE PAINT JOB, I MEAN, IS IT THAT HARD!? Anyways, I'm looking forward to this figure, although it's a little disappointing that it doesn't have the thrusters on his back. :-(

"We'll put all our valuable time and effort into making this figure now. Get it as movie accurate as physically possible because it's what the fans have all been waiting for. They're going to love this!"

*whine* The paint is all wrong!

Give him shorter arms!

Where are his thrusters?

Really guys, this thing is awesome. If it bothers you that much then don't buy it. When the movie came out I figured it would be damn near impossable for them to get any movie-accurate toys out of it, and I've been right for the most part, this is probably as close as they'll get and I would love to give them money for their effort.

Uh... not that I'd pay people for doing a half-decent job on something else like fixing my car or building a home, but you know what I mean. XD
