Heck yeah! This is gonna be an awesome toyline!

Ageed ugh I can't wait to get Optimus from Comic-Con!!!!

So there's a voyager also? I'd love to see a comparison, especially with the rest of the line for scale

I'll be holding out for the voyager version, but this still is an exceptional fig for its size and class.

I'm going to be honest, this video changed my mind about this line. Every aspect of this figure was shown off and i love it terribly. When Peaugh showed off that pose towards the end, hand over chest, I was sold. Seeing this figure out of the photoshop spotlight reveals how truly beautiful it is. Looking forward to seeing the Arcee vid.

Is anyone else surprised that we are seeing a video review before any in hand pics?

I'm not surprised. Peaugh is known for purchasing toys stolen from Chinese factories for his TF toy reviews. Not making a judgment, just stating a fact.

As far as the figure, it looks good. I do like the engineering involved in the transformation.

Pretty sick. I don't have a Starscream yet, so I might get this guy for my classics collection.

My only real gripe is the chunkiness of the waist and where it is in jet mode. hmm

I am more excited about that deluxe than most of the figures that came out for the Dark of the Moon line. I may be a bit biased since I love aircraft transformers and that Starscream had such a sweet bot mode. I hope the rest of the Prime toys are this strong (though seeing the deluxe Optimus, I'm severely doubtful).

omg that just looks stupid!!!!!!!

i havent seen the cartoon and now i dont want to :/

why does he look like a drone from some japanese robot game

Of coarse, but normally we see pics from those factory workers LONG before we see a video review. I can't recall seeing a pic of these figures aside from display cases and Hasbro stock photos.

why don't you have a starscream yet MindVVipe?

anyway, i couldn't agree more with all of you. this will be a truely awesome and possibly his absolute best reprecentation since generations in the deluxe lines.

my only qs are 1. how well does this figure and the voyager ss compare to the rest of the line.
2. if i take RC's head and but it on ss deluxes body and give both a new paint job do you guys think it would look like a slipstream?

Not a bad idea about creating your own Slipstream, but I wouldn't count on it working technically, as the ball joint and what not might be incompatible. But... hey, try it out, I could be wrong. Definitely one of the most slender jet bots i've ever seen.

As for not owning a Starscream; I started my classics collection as a serious collector only in the last 2 years, after a long break since I was a little kid and buying any random cool tranformers that came my way. As my collection grew, I started keeping limits on scale (I had an MP Starscream, but sold it off). I have most classic seekers except for skywarp and starscream, and I figured I wanted a little more variation in my collection, since I am already being so selective.
Perhaps this mold works since it'll tower over the other seekers in bot mode.

Oh man, I am excited! I was only mildly interested in the line so far, even contemplating skipping it due to cost reasons, but after seeing this, there's no way I could. I don't even mind that his jet mode is small, I'm happy to see that it expands into a decently sized robot. I was getting worried after all the tiny DOTM toys. The paint job looks great, the sculpt and articulation are amazing, and it looks well-constructed. The pose just put it over the top. Can't wait to get this figure.

Incredible. One of the better figure designs I've seen, period. The pose at the end sold it for me too. (I was already sold, but this just locked it in.)

I can't even begin to imagine what the rest of the figures will be like. This was incredible.

WOW! Good job Hasbro.

I am really looking forward to this line. A huge improvement over Animated, a line to which I have eventually warmed...mostly.

Its only a deluze and it very nearly nails the CG figure, cant wait for the Voyager version.

Oh and I didnt realise Starscream was into heels.

That's really cool. It would be really cool if the missiles were synonymous w/ the voyager class Starscream (vice versa of course)).

HOLY CRAP!!! That figure looks so good there were times during this video that I thought I was watching an episode of the show. I couldn't help but smile at the pose Peaugh put him into. Just hope the rest of the line is as faithful as this figure.

Is there definately a voyager class figure coming out? Where was it announced? Seems odd Hasbro would go to the trouble of making different figures of the same character for such a small line, especially when this one already looks so awesome.

You honestly don't know what you are missing. Cartoon is probably one of the better Transformer cartoons out there. As for the character design, it is personal preference I guess. I much rather have this version of Starscream than the "How can my legs support my body?" version of Starscream that Michael Bay created. That design is just horrible as a robot and horrible as a toy.

Im sold on this fig now. Very impressed. Personally I would prefer the voyager.

Cant wait to see the other figs in the line.

I dont see a Starscream....i see Slipstream and off color Waspinator

Then maybe wait for the G1 repaint?

It'll happen, you know it.

A Peaugh review is one of the indicators that a toy is on the way! I can't wait!

I saw the "July" cards beneath the Prime toys in those BotCon pictures and feel teased! I hope it's not too many more months until they release. I have my money set aside for wave 1. Fall is gonna be a good time between the Prime figures and the Henkei Hot Rod re-release.

He looks better than in the initial pics from Hasbro, & even better than how he looks in the cartoon (!).

I'm really looking forward to this line.

Dont get me wrong....i like the design so much that i will get this version n the G1 repaint if they make one.

What funny i jus notice on the 2nd time i watch the review is that SS got high heels this time around...lol

words can not express how much i want these toys! 0_0

man, seeing him and classic starscream next to movie starscream sure makes movie starscream look pretty stupid. Redemption for Starscream!

Watch the Japanese version get released with a red forehead crest.

And, is it just me, or does this Starscream have at least 24 points of articulation?!!

Does he? lets see..

Neck
Shoulders x2
Elbows x2 (including both hor. and ver.)
Wrist x4
Waist
Hip x2
Knee x2
Ankle x2 (plus some extra bit of articulation due to transformation.
Then theres the wing poseability.
It'd be sweet if you can use the chest portion to lean forward like it was used in transformation. I like that extra bit of movement (just like on ROTF lockdown) to give him a hunched over creepiness.

I agree. This is a great looking figure, and the engineering is great, but he's essentially a jet sitting on the robot waist and legs. Not very aerodynamic.

Still, it is a great figure. I will wait and see what the voyager-sized version looks like. Hopefully it will have the size to better blend the legs into the jet mode. If the voyager version looks even better than this deluxe version, I will buy him as soon as I see him.

I think this is a great idea. I do think this deluxe Starscream has the "curves" to pass as a fembot. I may try that myself.

Thanks for the idea!

Edit: Oh, and I forgot about the "high heel" feet! Lol. Yes, this would make a perfect fembot.

There was some pictures shown of voyager Starscream and Optimus Prime at one of the panels at Botcon but they were not released and no one was allowed to take pics.

Meee Grimlock say: This is AWESOME figure!

Near to 1:1 in details to the Transformers Prime Cartoon. Ok pals, where can Grimlock order a full dozen of this fantastic Starscream Toy? Meee Grimlock want to play with this NOW. Grimlock just canceled the preorder of "My little Pony Starscream".

Grimlock like Transformers Prime Toys! Grimlock is in love!

Meee Grimlock cannot wait to more figures of this toyline. Want Arcee, Wheeljack and Cliffjumper (but please no remold/repaint of another bumblebee). This would be delicious!

He looks incredible! Will def be getting this one

I'm stoked about this line, it's interpretation of the characters is very intriguing. Toys seem to match, very cool...

Wish I were at Comic-con.

Ah amazing idea...

Seein this sold me on it for sure. Looking foward to megatron!!!!

Stoked about any f-16 tfs they wanna put out though I'll take the f-35 too!~

What they did with the back kibble was amazing. Totally unnecessary for kids, but for those of us looking at the engineering and accuracy of the toy, that was GOLD.

Btw, leader movie Starscream can do that pose too. That's very nearly what I had mine in for some time (but I put the hand back more).

And Movie Megs (jet) did heels first folks, LOL.

ANYWAY, loving the figure. Depending on how big the line is, I may collect them. Otherwise, I don't really want/need Bee, Prime, and maybe Megatron. Highly anticipating Arcee and any other characters they want to do.

Very cool figure! But personally, I hope they make a toy for Knock Out. He is definitely my favorite character in the series thus far.

Knock-Out is very cool! His color, design, and personality are all cool. I'd love a toy of him and Breakdown. Such awesome Decepticons! For once I am in love with the bad guys.
