The Energon Pub

theres a bunch at my toys r us and i just picked that and the blackout and scorponox desert attack set up from there.

i like it, BUT do know that his head is visible in alt-mode, and there's TONS of bot kibble on the underside..... plus there's no real "hands" but rather two gigantic rotary cannons that have hair-triggers (spin the wheel on his elbow, the trigger mechanism hits a notch, and they fire in sequence.)

also, he has chicken legs. me, I like them, but just depends.

yeah i noticed on the back before i bought him how skinny his legs were lol

I like the design a lot but mine has a loose right arm that slumps a bit. The arms are supported from below and annoyingly have nowhere to connect to the shoulder. Anyone else have this problem?

I like him, at first I was "meh" but he grew on me.

The head sculpt, floating shoulders and lack of hand are all aweful but overal I'm happy I bought him.

I love the little reverse knee legs... it makes sence that a flying robot would have small, easy to fold up and store legs.

I agree, though a nice rendition of Starscream from the movie, I was so hoping for one that had a little more proportional commonality with the movie. For instance, we only see SS use the huge arm canons a few times, his claws would have been a better choice with maybe some missle packs converting into the arm canons, this would sacrifice the missile fire gimmic, but would have made him asthetically more pleasing.

I am hoping for a Leader class that makes him more like a real jet in Alt mode, and has much more of his movie robot detailing and accurate proportions, as well as corrects the shoulder issues.

Personally, I love the huge hand cannons. The only thing I have a problem with is the cheap paint job and head sculpt, but that I feel the same way about every figure other than '08 Bumblebee. I would consider buying an SS Unleashed figure if the details were there.

u guys do know he has flaps u can pull down so that way u can spin his guns and stuff right?

Despite the head being visible in jet mode, he is actually my favorite movie toy I've obtained so far. I think as a voyager he is definately better than Blackout, who is half the size he should be. For that matter, I have always wanted better scale with TFs...but that's for another time. He has pretty good articulation as well.

Overall I find him to have few troubles and unlike some on the boards here, I really like the movie design of Starscream.

at first i didn't really like the design, but I kept reading and watching reviews. and he grew on me. I finally went out and bought him a few weeks ago, and Yeah i liked him. I would have liked him to have hands err. claws or somethng with an opposable thumb.


Considering the thickness of his arms, and the fact that the only thing in them are the little wheels for Plane mode. retractable hands/fists/claws, would have been easy to incorporate, and then the guns could attach over the retracted hand. Be removable for robot mode, and usable as Gatling guns.


anyway, yeah i like the figure, he has some flaws, but overall he's a nice figure.

Lol why chicken legs for movie voyager class Starscream? well he's sorta top heavy but in the movie his legs are a bit bigger... And NOW for my complaints, though i don't have Starscream movie class voyager yet. his head shows on alt mode, he doesn't have front gear(nose wheels) and on robot mode of course small legs. So I'm giving his alt mode an 8/10 and for his robot mode a 9/10 overall a 17/20

How do you guys like the voyager class starscream??
