I hate to do my typical complaining routine regarding TF: Prime stuff, but could this figure look any more effeminate!? I know, I know "I'm just another cursed geewuner". But I've been really trying to give TFP a chance for several months now but we're talking about one of the most well recognized and established characters in the franchise and they've made him out to be a daisy flower with this physical design. He's too lanky and it seems like he's wearing high heels, complete with pink weapons and all lol. Say what you will to defend this.. that its a modern update or that the writers were trying to design his physical traits to resemble his devious and slinky personality but in almost all of his prior incarnations, yes he's been a slick, coniving, self preserving coward but as first lieutenant to Megatron and leader of the Seekers (yea, I know there's no seekers in TFP), by god he could throw down and hold his own when the situation called for it.
Don't get me wrong, as a toy I think its an interesting design and all, but it just doesn't say Starscream to me. I mean Bayformers "salad shooter" design was more intimidating than this thing.
Just imagine Starscream bearing down on Springer and Arcee (or Bulkhead and Arcee if that make you feel better) shooting at their fleeing backs screaming "Pathetic fools, there's no escape!" Just to be outsmarted by the transforming cogs of Autobot city and getting his heel stuck in the closing doors, wincing and reluctantly firing one of his wittle rockets down upon his leg in a last ditch effort to free himself and crying out "OW, my Jimmy Choo's!!!!"
Relax, I kid, I kid
