Takara Starscream will be mine!!!

Shoot if optimus prime can be a monkey and so too can nemesis prime, then why can't starscream...???

I mean this guy in Diecast and larger with more detail, possibly real hands and a reworked missle launcher, I can dream, but still what a badass transformer toy:

Appreciation for TF Cybertron, nice story info..

That's the size of a Voyager box listed for Leader Starscream, so yeah, another screw-up by HLJ.

Double post.

by **Greed** » Thu May 17, 2007 5:19 pm

Good, now I can pass up on lil Bonecrusher and just get the voyager.

hmm, think i will do that as well

Unless Hasbro releases the larger figures, I won't be buying. I've nothing against Takara, I just hate Die-Cast with a passion. HATE it.

Plus, I'm not a big fan on imports anymore. After waiting 18 friggin' days for an Airmail item, I just can't do it anymore. My patience gets the better of me.

That Takara die-cast Starscream is already mine. I just need to see the first pre-order.

by **megatroptimus** » Fri May 18, 2007 9:24 pm

Can't you guys read? THERE IS NO LEADER STARSCREAM. Look at the specs, it's just the Voyager version.

News Credits: 1 · by **Autobot Skids** » Sat May 19, 2007 4:15 am

I preordered both with HLJ and canceled my deluxe Bonecrusher preorder with BBTS...

Deluxe Starscream really looks terrible; and if there's any appeal in the figure, it's in what he looks like on-screen. He doesn't, in my opinion, look like a monkey on screen - he actually looks really really cool. The toy just makes him out to be a bulky, blocky monkey, and some of the early sketches/poses didn't help...

If leader class SS has:

1) No bulky kibble in jet mode underbelly
2) real hands and better looking weapons
3) more detail

Then I'm game.

Bonecrusher is so obviously a Voyager-must-be that I preordered him to.

At this rate, I might just get the whole movie set from HLJ and be done with it...

Wonder what the japanese packaging is gonna look like? If the deluxes come in boxes; it would be really cool. After all; the movie figures should have boxes so we can cherish them forever more...

OMFG I WANT A VOYAGER BONECRUSHER! At least he'll be closer to scale than his Deluxe counterpart.

I just hope they will be released in the US otherwise I won't know how to import them T_T Not sure how that works since I've only ordered from US locations.

so are these gonnas be real or not?

News Credits: 665 · by **Skowl** » Sat Jul 07, 2007 10:40 am

Yeah, nothing from Hasbro yet.

Maybe the info the staff got was bogus afterall...

by **Dropkick14** » Wed Sep 12, 2007 1:22 pm

I wonder if this starscream will have hands.

by **Dropkick14** » Wed Sep 12, 2007 1:30 pm

I think that Bonecrusher,Blackout,Starscream should all be leader class and scorponok a scout class and barricade should stay deluxe class.

by **Dagon** » Wed Sep 12, 2007 1:41 pm

Yeah, I don't care about scale amongst figures enough to complain about it, but something needs to be done with Blackout. He's way too small.

This is great news!

You're afraid Hasbro's gonna pass up a chance to take another 40 dollars from you?

by **Unicron Singularity** » Wed Sep 12, 2007 4:14 pm

well... i dont mind the Deluxes though, and Leader/Voyagers would be great. but when i buy figs, i buy with intent of finding the cheaper fig, to not use up my money, until i can generate some income from work etc.

anyways... would gladly like Voyager Bonercrusher, and a Leader Starscream, although i would never get them, due to economy reasons.
