How lucky, I am still thinking about getting starcream.

About his jet mode, is it believabe (for a toy), and can you take off those brown missles on his sides in jet mode?

The hands i can live with, but if they make a leader starscream....

i dont mind the chicken legs, in the movie he has a big upper body, and with the toy's legs being small it really emphasizes this, makes him look strong and powerful

yea it is kinda like the starscream from the movie but the toy has poopy as arms thats the main problem with it.
And yes of coarse i have seen the movie i have seen it 8 times since it came out.
I do agree that it does grow on ya though.
The jet mode is really well done i will admit that and i don't mind how it is bulky up the top i actually think that it is kinda cool.

I actually like the chicken legs now when I've seen them in person

I found out they support his top heavy body quite good, actually. At least when positioned well. Probably better than "normal" legs would have.

And it actually makes perfect sense: Starscream is flyer, and bird-legs are designed for smooth landings. So why wouldn't a flying robot use them?

The back of the package shows preview pictures of the robot.

You'll know long ahead of time if you're going to hate how it looks.

Ok, that does it! I officially nominate Counterpunch for the position of most intelligent poster.

I think that psoition comes with a free parking spot too.

I just don't know about the scale on Starscream's movie toy since I never got a good look at him in close proximity to any other transformer in the Movie. He appears to be almost as big as Blackout on the city streets.

He is if you keep it in jet mode.

It isn't worth the money from the POV of neutral fans.

The worst are his chicken legs and definitely6 his arms they should have made just regular arms that would go into his side similar to how his legs connect to the rest of his body when hes in jet mode. And the guns should be able to be put on him similar to the energon starscream how the just go onto the wings.
And where the hell is the sword lately Starscreams all ways had a Sword.
The guns would be able to fit in his hands as well.
Highly disappointed about this starscream figure i hope they don't make a mistake like this on any transformer again.
See ya laterz

your dumb, voyager starscream is just like the starscream in the movie. have you even seen the movie? you cant compare the MOVIE toy to energon series starscream, you can only compare it to the movie starscream

umm, you're dumb.
lay off, they can compare whatever toy to any other toy.
it's the starscream they know. and i'm sure they've seen the movie

The " I don't like this toy" feelings in me evaporated once I decided that I would be calling Movie Starscream Lord Trannis.

Then my eyes opened and saw a sinister looking vile scum bag Decepticon villain with a unique transformation and robot mode and I have liked him ever since.

In fact - that's how I get around the "do I like this version" problem most of the time... unless the Japanese help out by giving the toy a different name (aka Nightscream)....
