Well, I finally found one, and it was the only one on the shelf, so I snagged him. Movie Voyager Starscream. He is much better in RL, than in pictures/YouTube Videos, but he is still not my favorite. That may change in time as he may grow on me. He seems so...fat, or wide, or something. Anyway, on with the review...
Jet Mode:
Sweet!!! He looks a lot like a Raptor. Mostly from the top, pretty much from the side or 3/4 view, and somewhat from underneath (lots of robot kibble). In any case, he looks really good. The paint scheme, though not your traditional SS colors, works rather well, actually. Quite nice.
Robot mode and transformation:
Okay, well transformation is challenging, but is NOT a headache to do, unlike some other movie TF's *cough*Ironhide*cough*. He is comparable to perhaps Ratchet. Not too hard, not too easy, just right. Automorph is pretty neat, and you can really see a lot move and change on him, which is nice. The fins seem to pop off a lot, but what I do is simply keep them to the sides of his head, vertically. It gives him that classic SS look where he has those things on each side of his head. Pretty cool, at least to me. The larger main wings still go to the back, and the others are also over his shoulders. The little fins staying up top eliminates the popping off almost entirely. His legs are a bit too widely spaced apart, which I do NOT care for. Nor do I care for his "wide" upper body. And the poor guy needs hands, no wonder he looks so p*ssed. I would be too. All together, he looks pretty good. Like I said, not my fav, but certainly not bad either. He's worth getting, and I'm looking forward to Thundercracker repaint as well. Hopefully, we'll get a Skywarp in there as well.
Jet Mode: 9/10
Robot Mode: 7.5/10
Transformation: 10/10-yes, a solid, perfect 10, despite the fin issue.
He's pretty bad-arse.
