They are... small.
Starscream looks stupid. Veritech-style transformation where you drop the arms and legs then fold the fuselage in half is kinda cool but doesn't make up for the poo colours.
Beast Hunters is coming. Well played Mayans.

I'm going to be all over the Predacons, so Ripclaw is definitely going to be bought. I may even get a few to do a bit of troop building behind their leader Ser-Ket (if we get one from either Has or Tak).

Call me crazy, but I think I actually like Starscream. Yeah he's shorter than the FE (which would actually put him in line with the mainline PRIME deluxes) and his colours are a tad bland, but it's striking a chord with me for some reason. I like the general design and the weapon is cool. If and when it goes on clearance I'll certainly get him. I may pick him up anyway.

Since he's my favorite, I hate how Starscream's colours are all over the place. I don't mind the figure but just that paint makes me wanna go Easter egg hunting.

Starscream is small. Ripclaw looks like it's about the same size as Lazerback, who's almost as big as Voyager Thundertron.

Has anyone mentioned that it's a homage to Cybertron Brimstone? 'Cos that's pretty much what it looks like to me. I know as a kid in the early 90s I would have liked this, so I can kind of appreciate it now.

I may get him if I see him, but the other (new mold) Beast Hunter figures are winning me over more.

A few times, but much like BH Ratchet, the homage just looks beyond AWFUL.

URGH. I had to remind myself of BH Ratchet's appearance. IMO that's way worse than Screamer here!

Well, BH Ratchet is unsalvagably bad. The mold itself is a TERRIBLE IDEA. BH Starscream has really good mold, but an awful deco. I'm hoping they actually do it in red at some point, homaging Terrorsaur.
