Should I even participate with buying Starscream? He is a little small.


He's a little taller than FOC optimus Prime/Ultra Magnus, so.... >:oP

This is Takara, not Hasbro.

The mold's about the same size as (if not a smidge taller than) the Classics Seeker mold.

I wonder if they would consider a slight re-mold of the tail section. In WfC, Skywarp and Starscream had triangular tail except when turbo flying, when the tail would split to a Y. Thundercracker was the opposite with a Y tail and a triangle when turbo. It would be cool to see the Y tail configuration in one of the character toys...

This is Takara, not Hasbro.

I think he was referring more to the fact that we almost never get all of the seekers (at least the three "important" ones) on retail release in the US. It honestly boggles my mind.

OKay, I blame all of you who are buying this figure for the endless stream of repaints of various characters over the years. If you had actually demanded original molds for each character, we may not have an endless parade of repains...

Why would anyone want an original mold when this is what he looks like in the games?
