Gotta wonder if he's good or bad.

Wow... those shoulders look different painted. Had to look at my Orion Pax real quick to make sure they're the same ones, though I think they would bring attention to it if they did.

Yeah, shoulders are he same piece, but the paint difference really brings out the shape - looks pretty cool

With all the paint Starscream has, he must be one of the most painted Deluxe figures released thus far.

They DID that. Look at the truck again. It's got a mane and a lion snout.dragons wrote:Should have made him look like lion looks bad as truck name lio bot transforms into truck

This figure makes me tempted to join the TFCC, but I have always wondered if the price was worth it. (I'm U.S.)

Mmm... I definitely would agree that the head's not as good as the rendered portrayal, but I can't tell if it's bad yet.
What I will say, is that some additional paint, or even just a strategic wash, would really help bring out some of the detail. It seems kind of bland as-is.

It's to bad because the layered look of the renders turns to mush, and it kinda starts looking like a stock stylized prime head; which granted Lio-Convoy' was, but it was more distinctive in the render. Also the paint's a bit off in that it only seems to come this close to the edge, and then stops leaving a noticeable bit of bare plastic.

Maybe the Nova Prime version'll look better.

See that's the thing - this could be a production sample. The paint apps on the crest are also not applied with great care, which makes me think what arrives in our mailboxes might be somewhat improved in that department.
Also, per Sabr, the picture quality...

That Lio truck mode reminds me a bit of the Energon series Rodimus from the TRU Prowl/Rodimus set with the B&W law enforcement paint deco. Just a wee bit. Don't know if it's just me that sees it or if anyone else made the connection too.

Oh! Checkpoint!? That was an awesome set. Loved it.

That would fit Club Lio Convoy's redeco Nova Prime more with his blacks and blues.

may have to swap out a Rodimus head on one for a custom. Checkpoint was a great new character and deco. Too bad we haven't seen any Rodimus repaints like that since.

Lio Convoy looks really sweet. I can't wait to get him in and check him out. No TFSS for me this time around but TFCC figure I like at least. Plus that G2 Starscream is looking way better than I had expected.

Hope you can find someone to part with their G2 Starscream for ya, Moonshot! It does look great... and pairs with the G2 Ramjet so nicely.
