Jesse a.k.a Matrix Prime from tfwire.com has posted a Video Review of Transformers Aniomated Voyager Class Thunder... err. Voyager Class Starscream on Youtube.
Click Here for Video Review

The figure looks pretty good. Seems to have some problems in the legs but looks quite nice. One thing that struck me, is the Feet turn into thrusters. Much like Bandai's Robotech Valkyries, or G1 Jetfire type vehicles.

He looks very slender, and yet has these massive looking amrs.

Interesting, I hope the final release has a light Gray instead of the Thudercracker Blue there.

Still its quite a good looking figure.

EDIT:

Jesse has uploaded a Follow up video for the Review, that talks about a couple of missed features in the figure. mainly the Head articulation, and some mysterious forearm panels that come up to form what look like guns.

Starscream joins the Megatron club in having a color blind toy designer.

Must buy for me. Tranformation not complicated and I think it looks great in either mode, and the articulation gives it some serious posing possibilities.

Eh, Starscream looks okay, but I’m having trouble getting past the chin. May get this one if it ever comes out. Hasbro taking so long to get this line out has undoubtedly sabotaged it in some since, people say kids are going to love the toys and it will do so good, but if there’s no toys to buy, kids will lose interest quick.

I like the sorta automorph capabilities. Colors are still iffy to me but the transformation, and overall look looks amazing to me.

nice. Now we have Screamer and Prime. Now for at least one of those countless Bumblebees, Lockdowns, Prowls, and Bulkheads.

That's awesome. I'm really impressed with that automorph on the nose of the plane. It's a good transformation. I hadn't been particularly enthusiastic about this figure, but now it's definitely a must buy.

Movie Starscream looks shoddy in comparison.

Wow. what a fat jet. It's very ugly. and i sitll don't understand why he's blue.

nice review. still hate the face and the colors are way off but as an overall toy it seems pretty solid. it looked 100 times better when placed next to that piece of crap movie fuglyscream though but anything next to that debacle would look good.

Let me go ahead and say that I enjoyed watching that review. A very simple transformation but one that manages to work really well. Why blue on the toy and grey on the cartoon though?

I'm gonna have to buy Mad amounts of Animated toys. Starscream and Prowl are at the top of the list.

In other words, it's an updated Cyberjet.

Okay, Wow you really have bad taste in TF toys. When will get over the fact that Animated is the most G1 thing we've had in years? You're just a stubborn ahole that watches anime all the time. Call me an ahole I don't care because you're infeior thus I don't care for your opinions

OptitronPrime, I feel I have every right to my opinion and just cause I don’t like animated doesn’t mean you have right to call me inferior or an ahole.

If anyone cares, there's another Starscream review up, this one done by a Brit. This figure is so awesome.
