Because the G1 Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp had all sorts of different mold discrepancies... : )

I'm just amazed at how a simple color change can make these characters look like they're supposed to despite the vastly different designs. Bay should have at least kept the original colors.

Can't wait to see the G1 repaints of Blackout and Barricade. Oh, wait...

Thundercracker's co-sell is "Rescue Ratchet"!!!

Dont really care for the movie Starscream design, but Its a toss up between Thundercracker and G1 screamer for the better paintjob. I wish they would make a Skywarp version, Id buy him over the other two in a second (as long as he was Black with Purple highlights)

StarScreams portrait kinda looks like that stupid cat guy from KISS.

Personaly, pass on these, even if they do a SkyWarp.

It was an issue with Classics and would have been with Energon because those jets and bots closely resembeled the origional characters they were ment to represent.

I like movie StarScream, but it's just a toy with the same name, not worth the effort to me.

I'll get Thundercracker but not Starscream.

I don't care what line or what color he is, Starscream has always sucked.

Motto: "Collecting little transforming action figures is the right of all sentient Geeks."
Weapon: Indepentently Targetable Particle Beam Cannons
I used to think that too. But know that I've bought him, I think his leg design works with the over all appearance of the figure. If the legs are the only reason you are holding off on him, i would suggest you reconsider. however if the overall aesthetic of him is not what you like then i guess you can skip him.

My only gripe are the lack of actual hands, heck even 3 fingered claws would work, like the FAB version. I just don't like large figures without actual discernible hands.

Its like the opposable thumb has become obsolete. Large alien robots would much rather melt objects, than actually pick them up, and use them for something.

Starscream suits the G1 colours, he's rather dull in his standard grey.

I actually like the new head, over the normal toys head. Vast improvement.

I'd get both, if I could afford them. On second thought, next auction I catch, with a much lower shipping cost, I'm a snag Thundercracker, asap.

Two damn fine figures if you ask me. Love the head sculpts. Believe me I'm the farthest thing from a G1 purist but now he looks like Starscream. Now if they could do something like this with Megatron... :RENEGADE:

Thundercracker has the international packaging and starscream has the US packaging.

For reasons i cannot comprehend, we outside of the US are not allowed to see a closeup drawing of the movie transformers head on the packaging of our transformers... I'd love to know why BTW... does anyone know?
