So, in this new "Hunt for the Decepticons/NEST" TF toy line, every Transformer is rivaled up with another Transformer.

So far we've got:

Bumblebee vs. Soundwave

Ironhide vs. Bludgeon

Ratchet vs. Lockdown

and now,

Optimus Prime vs. Starscream.

Only time will tell what the next rivalry will be.

Forgot about Defender Optimus Prime and Mindwipe. I can't really say much about these bio rivals... a bit silly but hey, to sell toys.

I like this Leader Starscream a whole lot. It is appropriate for the figure, and it grants the opportunity for the designers to make a really good figure for a truly beloved character. I may be picking this up. I still need to see it in person though.

Definitely a must have!

There we go, thanks Blurrz. I was wondering if I missed anything. And oh yes, to sell toys... :roll:

i think this figure will be 100/10 from just the pics :grin:

it looks so awsome
1. two missiles
2.moving mouth
3. pop out weapons
4. are blaster
5. awsome alt mode
6. says something more than name
7. way movie accurate
8. way more feuture than any other leader

i think hasbro can make a leader grindr and will since they went over the leader limit on the leaders with starscream

Heheh, he's a typical egoist who likes to psyche himself up with delusions of invincibility to hide his underlying fear. You know what they say about empty cans....

But as for his intelligence, if you look at everything he's accomplished in the past two movies (successfully infiltrates the military, and manages to find Megatron and the all-spark, basically planning everything in the first film, and smart enough to call for a retreat at the end of ROTF), it was only Megatron's decision to go "no more disguises, no mercy!" on the Autobots that screwed everything up for the Decepticons time and again.

If anything, he should have an even higher intelligence stat that Megs.

As for the figure itself, I've already made the decision to buy him since the first mention of its development. Not crazy about the alt mode, but then again, I can always get a F-22 Raptor model kit for an accurate representation of the jet.

The alt mode's superb: very screen-accurate, loaded with cool gimmicks, and the Has/Tak designers finally decided to go for a separable missile rack that to trying and tack everything onto the bot, making it look like some mechanical Frankenstein (:cough: HA Sideswipe :cough::cough:). Better a partsformer than a monstrosity.

Leaded the decepticons in the long absences of Megatron even thought the Fallen could have. If the Fallen thinks that Starscream is smart enough to be commander of the Decepticons then Starscream should at least have an eight!!!!

Thank You GEEWUN! Finally, someone else who knows the truth behind the brilliance that is movie Starscream!

You have an excellent choice of GENIUSES :KREMZEEK:
