I just hope that this doesn't mean that they arn't going to give us an updated/new Starscream mold. I would really like to see this character as a leader with hands. I would settle for a voyager with hands, but they could do so much more with a leader class figure. Can't wait to see what they are cooking up. Hopefully we get a few new leaders and not just a new Leader Megs and a bunch of Prime repaints. Hopefully we also do not see more leader Brawl repaints (hopefully he is dead for good).

These are going to be BotCon Exclusives.

I thought the same thing as soon as I saw them.

I'd like to think they're legit. Didn't Ramjet appear in Reign of Starscream and he's got one of those fast action battler toys.

After seeing the Legends 2 pack of Night Watch Prime and Stealth Starscream, I could not understand why they didn't call them Nememis Prime and Skywarp. At least now, there's a Skywarp.

Look nice, but I movie toys are so two years ago...

They don't garner room on any of my shelves. No thanks, but you guys can enjoy.

Wasn't there some licensing reason why Movie toys couldn't be used for Botcon?

That's what I said.

Naw. I think I lost my Movie Starscream while moving and was hoping for a leader class version this time around. This is a decent mold but I've got G1 Seekers, Classics Seekers, Masterpiece Seekers and Animated Seekers, so I'll be passing on these. If they make a leader class Starscream he'll be one of only a very small handfull of ROTF toys I buy this next year.

I sure like it, but I don't think they're real.

All Movie characters have realistic coloring in them, hence why Starscream was tan instead of red white and blue, Ironhide was Black instead of Red, Bonecrusher was brown instead of green and purple, Scorponok was silverish instead of green purple or whatever he was in G1. Why would there all of a sudden be a purple and black F-22 or red and white?

They DID do a red/white repaint of that mold for a G1-ish Starscream...I imagine these two are in that same vein...

Wasn't Takara going to do a Leader Starscream last time year? I've been waiting for that one myself.

I know this is sacrilige, but I really am starting to get sick of Seeker repaints. Not that I don't like the originals, but my goodness they milk the heck out of them. A bit of hypocrisy I think from the fans who complain about getting repaints constantly but shell out for Seeker repaints whenever they can. I just find it odd.

Personally, I've got no problem with repaints when there's history behind it. So repaints of Starscream into Skywarp, Thundercracker, etc are fine. Likewise Prowl, Smokescreen and Bluestreak. Outside that sort of thing, it needs to be a good repaint. Universe Sunstreaker and Sideswipe, yeah, good stuff. Universe Acid Storm... not so much.
