Ryan has just uploaded a gallery for the final version of the upcoming Transformers Movie Starscream Voyager-class figure. This following an older gallery of the Movie Starscream figure, the photos for which were taken using Seibertron member Diablien's prototype of the figure.

Check out Ryan's photos of the finished product by clicking here

nice gallery and thanks for the update.

It makes me wonder if screamer's alt mode was a desert based F-22

Iniatialy I hated Movie Starscream's design, but after I saw him some in the trailer, and looked at this better figure, I'm starting to love it. (If only he had some color, say crimson red)

Starscream looks friggin' lethal! I love it! Very distinctive. He's *almost* cool enough to make me contemplate picking up Thundercracker as well. After all, the best pilot in the world is nothing without a wingman... dammit! I don't have room for repaints!

I've finally accepted most, if not all, of the movie designs now! Looks like a very nice, and accurate, toy incarnation of movie Screamer!

Really nice gallery Seibs! I love movie Starscream!

But I hate to break it to ya, but you've missed one little bit of the transformation.

You need the press down on his chest (the parts with cockpitwindow attached) so it locks down. There's a peg on the inside of the chestpart and a hole in the torso part beneath it. It locks into place a makes the whole thing a little more stable and massive.

It is interesting to see how the general consensus has improved towards the look of the movie figures. I imagine a greater surge in appreciation for the figures once the movie hits and people have a storyline to relate with.

regarding the acceptance of the new designs, im sure in some cases it simply is acceptance...but also these designs have been online and whatnot for a long time now so i think its more that people are just used to them than actual acceptance you know?

lets say nothing leaked in any way,shape or form til the trailers showed up...i'm sure all the bitching and moaning that happened back when the photos first showed would still be happening now...

whether they accept it or not, i think people are just used to it all....but doesnt mean the movie will be bad...and if it is...well least there's cool toys to buy..lol

I really did a 180 when it came to Starscream's design. I went from absolutely hating it, to absolutely loving it. I don't know why, something about it appeals to me. I love the way the fins and wings are placed on his upper body, it makes him look very imposing. And that head just kicks ass for me. It looks more alien, but it's Starscream to me.

I think there is a little of that. Yeah, I did get used to Starscream, and have liked him more over time and chances are if his design was leaked today I would still hate it like I did the first time I saw it.

BUT I freaked out over the Megatron design too, and I still hate it now, maybe even more so than before. I had just as much time to get used to Megs, but never did...

I give Ryan alot of credit. With the jet, it's easy to take good photots because it looks good.

However, I truely tip my hat for making that robot look good as well, I haven't been a fan of this figure yet, but this gallery does look good!

So, I work in photography, if your looking for something on the side, let me know

Wow. Final colors really help bring out the detail on this guy. I'm glad they're doing paint washes on some parts and overall more detail on the movie figures. They don't look all playskool and plasticy anymore.

Why is voyager Megatron shorter than Starscream?

I still don't like it. His jet mode still looks like a supersized G2 Smokejumper and I like his robot mode less. Those shoulders are way to far out to the sides, hopefully mistransformed, but knowing Ryan I doubt it. I actually like Protoform Starscream's robot mode more as it looks better proportioned. Probably the first real "miss" for the line.

i like his face now but it looked like in the tv spot starscream might have swrod in the film wheres his sword and his hands dont tell me those claw things around the missle launcher tubes are his fingers or are his hands just holding to his guns that shoot the missles from both of his hands?

I never didn't like Starscream's design. I never liked the design as Starscream. Honestly ... if they had called this design "Dreadwing" I would've been OK with it because it's robot mode proportions remind me of G2 Dreadwing, who is one of my favorite Transformers. The body for Starscream and even the face are OK, just not for the sleek, sexy and sly Starscream. Quite simply, the design does not scream "Starscream" to me.

While Megatron's design has grown on me a little, it is still an absolutely horrible Transformer design in my opinion.

I love photography. I just bought a UV filter, an anti-glare filter and a wide angle camera lens for my camera. I can't wait to go try the wide angle lens on Chicago's skyline here in the near future. Some of you might notice that the box pictures don't look so distored because I'm using the wide-angle lens on the packaging pictures now.

I actually bought the wide-angle camera lens for the primary purchase of doing the galleries of the city-formers ... specifically Brave Maximus and Fortress Maximus.

If you have some side work, I would be interested in hearing more about what you have in mind. Please send me a private message if you have some more information. Thanks!

i cant say if its better or worse than the prototype.

I'll be damned if I could figure this out any differently last night. Do you own this figure or can you see a picture in the gallery where it looks like it is mistransformed? I messed with it for another minute or so last night and as far as I could tell that's as good as it gets in the chest.

He looks good enough to me, though those guns udner his wings look terrible.

After comparing Ryan's pics of SS with Remy's on TFkenkon, I don't see any difference. I'm pretty sure Ryan got it right
