I just got a Leader Starscream, as well as a Sea Attack Ravage & Night Ops Ratchet, but screw them!
Leader Starscream Is an epic acheivement by hasbro in making an awesome toy. It's good enough that the first movie masterpiece is based on it. That's just my opinion, what's yours?

This baby needs to be repainted as many times as Classics Starscream.

I agree!

I want Skywarp and Thundercracker beside him!

I said it in the other thread, but I will say it again. I can't believe how good this figure is. Both are accurate and amazing. The transformation is pretty much genius. The detail is outstanding. The poseability is phenomenal and unexpectedly solid. The figure has a quality build and has a really nice, hefty feel. The size is very impressive when the legs are fully extended-he is a big, imposing figure.

The sounds are really the only thing I don't like. Very wussy. That said, it is absolutely one of the best figures to come out in a long time, and it is argueably the best movie figure of any size class ever.

Yeah, but most leader class sounds suck don't they?

Most are just annoying. This one is both annoying and terrible. This one makes Scottish Jetfire sound good!

it could've been worse... they stripped Ironhide of his southern accent, I don's see the problem with his voice, Starscream uses hit and run tactics (chooses winning battles and cares about hatchlings) and he's arrogant enough to challenge Megatron for leadership, he sounds like Starscream.

Maybe Starscream hopped up on estrogen... He sounds like a total puss. No pun intended with whatever business "he" has going on between "his" legs.

it sounds like WFC Starscream.

I agree! Leader Starscream is amazing! I found one today and I can't put it down. Such a killer figure that I would gladly drop another 40 bucks on for a repaint

spotted in a youtube review of what Starscream looks like with straight legs... and what was missing was a pink bow :lol:

Well played sir, well played.

He is indeed awesome. I would love- LOVE- a Thundercracker and G1-style repaint, like TF1 SS. That's gotta be easy money for Hasbro, right?

What should I do? I really don't like the tatoos and I don't want to spend that much money to get the MP version. Shall I wait for repaint if there will be?

I picked SS up last at Walmart on a "site-to-store" order. It truly is impressive. The first thing I noticed was it had a nice weighty feel and nice quality plastic. The designers deserve some praise on this one. The poseability is excellent. My only complaint is there just a bit too much junk in the trunk in F-22 mode. The F-22 looks amazing from the top down or from the front, but from the rear, the kibble (the hips and legs) is really apparent.

Also, I wasn't crazy about the tattoos from the images I saw before buying it, but in person they don't look half bad.

Ya, I really like the pop-out weapons in the forearms.

Tue Jul 27, 2010 4:32 pm

The detail on the weapon launcher I liked so much that I converted two of them to a jet thrusters for his back.

I can definitely picture that. They are a good size.

It is true. Most of the sounds suck, but this one really takes the cake. I wish the voice sounds were replaced with some more/different weapon sounds.
