I think the sweetest thing about this is the Null Rays. With this, it will be like having a mini MP Starscream now.

Almost worth buying for the improved guns. Shame they're a bit too big.

"Coronation Starscream?"
"This is bad comedy"

someone had to say it.

That could be really cool, but man, those pictures don't do it any justice. The unpainted white plastic and scrap of purple fabric with frayed edges don't exactly convey a sense of royalty. They should stick with the digital models until they have something better to photograph.

Very nice! Will look nice with my Universe Starscream since I touched him up already to match my MP Starscream which already HAS the Coronation Kit. :grin:

Hmm... I never new TFSource was a site sponsor I've never seen a link to them anywhere on this site?

The upgrade looks good but I'm not a big fan of Starscream and plus I do not wish to buy another Starscream to show off the kit, I'd just rather show him off as an ordinary Starscream. I kinda hope they make those null rays sold separate in different colors for for Skwarp, Thundercracker, and Thrust then someone should do a whole new design for Drige's null rays, but this all seems like it will not happen unless they make a coronation set for the rest of the seekers.

Interesting, but I'd rather see them produce a set of null rays like these for the basic Seekers, SS, SW, and TC. Maybe a different set for the secondary group too. I'd buy those-this, probably not.

Not worth it to me.

Now if they could just sell the blasters seperately, then I'd get those.

Well, I'm seeing some post here and there about the null rays, and if everyone keeps asking for them, I don't see why this company won't do them for TC, SW, and Thrust. Seems like there is a slight demand for them already. Here's to hoping!

I already have the MP coronation set, so normally this wouldn't interest me. But Starscream just looks so cute in his giant shoulder pads and crown. If I can get this thing real cheap, like free or close too it, and maybe a Universe Starscream for the same, I may get it.

But otherwise, meh.

Maybe we could go halfsies. I want everything but those.

+1

As long as they reduced the size of the null rays a little.

It'd be cool if this could also work for the RobotMasters mold. Or, if they would make one for that too.

This is perfect for the Universe 2.0 G1 repaint Starscream they put out last year! Finally, a reason to have bought it! I wholeheartedly support this additional $20 expenditure to justify $10 I spent last year! :lol:

This looks great! Woo hoo! Guess I need another Henkei starscream

I'm interested in a set of seeker null rays/blasters, but these are still too fracking big.

Posted by kirbenvost on August 27th, 2009 @ 12:23pm CDT
Hmm. Not a bad idea, but I feel the figure is too chunky and lacking in articulation to pull this off. And as mentioned, the accessories look a little big. I'll probably pass, unless they shrink it a bit.

I'll consider these, as I do have 3 copies of Screamer in this mold, but i'll need to see the final designs, as right now, it just isn't doing anything for me.

i would get this for the smaller more accurate non firing null rays :lol:

The irony of putting these on the Ghost Starscream. :lol:

I'm thinking of painting up a Starscream with black and charcoal and making him all charred and crumbly. Have that next to the Ghost. :lol:

That's a cool idea, basically the death of Starscream in phases. Henkei Classics (normal) -> Black and Charcoal (custom) -> Ghost Starscream. B-)
