I have the RotF Starscream myself, and I can vouch for the fact that it is absolutely awesome. Very solid, especially in alt mode, and by turning the hands up slightly they seem to blend in the plane better. The F22 Raptor is actually such a good looking model, it takes most of the attention away from the hands sticking out the back.
Robot mode is spectacular too: it's a world of difference to the previous incarnation of Movie SS, with actual hands being the standout difference, but with the chest / gears layout also adding a cool feature.
The attention to detail is incredible. Most pictures I've seen don't actually show the fact that Screamer has two panels on each side of the cockpit that come up about 2 mm: their only function is to make SS look even better! Only (minor) letdowns are the weird articulation of the arms and wrists, and the fact that although the head is designed to have lightpiping, the eyes have actually been painted over with orange paint!
Finally, in my opinion, the black Cybertronian tattoo design on both alt mode and robot looks stunning. All in all, this 'con is made of win.
I'm so meta, even this acronym
