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 4:19 pm

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

hmm, think i will do that as well

News Credits: 668 · by **Autobot032** » Thu May 17, 2007 11:03 pm

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 8:24 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 3:15 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 9:40 am

Yeah, nothing from Hasbro yet.

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

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

I wonder if this starscream will have hands.

by **Dropkick14** » Wed Sep 12, 2007 12:30 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 12:41 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.

by **gjk13** » Wed Sep 12, 2007 1:22 pm

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 3:14 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.
