HA, StarScream keeps getting worse and worse!!!!!!!!!!

I give them 4 out of 5 "mehs"

The Legends line doesn't really sell ya on the movie designs, does it?

no way, Gobots were much better, they were cheap, there's no doubt but it was the 1980s, and Bandai wasn't as versed in making robot toys as they are now with gundam under their belt.. they still have trouble, look at the Zords from Power Rangers yeeesh!!!

Still for its time, and the story line Go-bots was actually pretty cool.. I loved the idea of a Badassed Biker leader of an evil robot army like Cy-kill and the valiant jet defender of freedom like Leader One.. it was a cool concept.. worthy of being made to truly show homage by being incoroporated into the Transformers mythos as a side team under Leader One's leader ship, with Cy-kill as a general for Megatron or galvatron.. that would be a great story..

Anyone evr seen Gundam Blue Destiny.. now that was a kick ass side story.. and great mecha.. no gundams allowed.. it was all about the hyper blue badass GM..

Favorite Gundam type figure/Model..

The Hygog..I wish they could do an aquatic Transformer that matched him in looks and power.. now that was a cool episode of Gundam..war in the pocket..

Man why can't they do an updated G-1 like that or CGI like the cutscenes from the PS2 Game??

Dreams............

I didn't think it was possible to make **** look shittier.

I can see that happening so easily to! Poor kid!

I can see adding Blackout to my collection. But, Starscream looks really lame. He looks like a rush job. Both fore and aft wings are touching and almost give his Raptor mode a delta-wing look. Also, his stabilizer tails are way too tall. I think they need to just redo Star a bit better before finally releasing him.

Ahhh... while this is true, Starscream made returns twice in Season 3 and once in Beast Wars.

So, Prime died and Megatron was 'reformatted' in 1986. They're used even more than Screamer. They're three of the most iconic Transformers characters, as well as fan favorites. While characters like Scourge and Cyclonus are cool, their popularity with both collectors and the occasional viewer/buyer don't compare to Prime, Megs, and Screamer.

Sorry for the long OT. Just wanted to point that out.

I wonder if SPX works for Takara or knows someone that does, considering the amount of test shots and protos he has on eBay

blacout is pretty nifty. and for 3 dollors/pounds/whatever, how can you go wrong even with screamer. he must be worth it for the parts at the least

Well the good news is with a remolded head on Blackout we'd have a damn good Classics Whirl on our hand. (Better than the LoC Evac repaint at least.)

they look like extremely poor, if not KO G1 toys, with bad head sculpts, awful

I never liked the legends line... Here's 2 examples why.
