That's how I'll be displaying him. Now if only Sunstreaker and Mirage would come in the mail...

Hard to come by but I did find another set of these but not at TRU. A local rival of TRU of all places.

Having been looking at it a bit more, I love the robot mode head. It is an amazing sculpt!

I'd probably display him Energon style, like the UW version: Ironhide and Prowl as arms, and Sunstreaker and Mirage as legs. That is, should I be able to obtain him. I may have to spring for the UW version if Convoy has the Battle Core head but the original red and blue.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ..the next offering in the Seibertron.com galleries: feast your optics on the unopposed supreme ruler, the Chosen One, the fabulous emperor from the Generations Combiner Wars line: Leader class Starscream!

Sporting a retool of the Jetfire mold from previous Generations line, and already seen with Thundercracker, the new Seeker also includes a crown for all your re-enacting needs, null-rays and more treachery than you can wrap in one purple cloak. And as an added bonus, two more galleries featuring more of Starscream's incarnations: Heroes of Cybertron figurine and Mega SCF - both with smirks, both with crowns, both accessible by clicking on any of the images below.

Wow, that crown really evens out the fugly head mold, it looks really nice.

While I am not getting any of these seekers, I love what they did with the remold and the crown. Nice touches!

I was pretty pleased with the stoic face on Leader Thundercracker. It just doesn't work as well for Starscream though, wish he had at least a hint of a smirk. And maybe some color to his eyes. Or options, that way those that like it the way it is stay happy.

With is current IDW incarnation, I have put serious thought into getting him. I'm still saying no, but it is still a possibility later

CW Starscream's head sculpt definitely needs a smirk

Agreed. I mean come on! Starscreams resting face is a smirk

I guess politics have gotten the better of Starscream, so much so that he's lost any reason to smile.

With the comic scans recently uploaded by site owner Seibertron, how about we also show you the rest of the figure? The latest instalment in our galleries features the Takara Tomy Unite Warriors UW-EX Grand Scourge, the Decepticon Dark Commander which is actually a gold, black and teal redeco of Voyager Optimus Prime - with a giant cleaver from Beast Hunters.

And, as we combine the torso with some limbs from the Combiner Wars line, we bring you back to the age of Superlink, by adding new galleries of PKS-01 Grand Convoy Super Mode and PKD-02 Grand Scourge Hyper Mode, the former being the inspiration for the new figure! Check out the galleries by clicking on any of the images below.

Great figure, but the supplied stickers are poor quality. They are paper stickers, in the same style as the "scanner" style Transformers Adventure stickers are (and similar to the original pla-model kit's paper stickers).

The yellow "Unicron" faction sticker (it comes with a blank white sticker, a Decepticon and an black, inverted G2 Autobot "Destronger" symbol, too) hardly shows on the white background, and the yellow smeared off mine onto the white background, when I tried to smooth it down.

Also, TFwiki's entry states that it comes with a G2 Decepticon/Autobot symbol, which isn't true. Could someone update it, please?

Here's a shot of Grand Convoy, with Nemesis Prime and Nemesis Grimlock.

Looking at the galleries of both UW Grand Scourge Hyper Mode and the original Super Link Grand Scourge Hyper Mode, an idea dawned upon me. Given the colors of the Super Link figure's Hyper Mode limbs (purple, black, yellow, and teal), one could use the limbs of the forthcoming CW G2 Menasor to somewhat replicate the original limbs colorwise in a vein similar to how UW Convoy Grand Prime attempts to do the same with its own limb bots. The only exception would be G2 Dead End being red instead of purple, but UW Ironhide is likewise an exception by being red instead of orange.

The same thoughts crossed my mind while I was working on these galleries. But then I just kept thinking that with as basic as the Combiner Wars deluxes are, let's just cut to the chase and make a drill, a submarine, and a fire truck to go along with the existing helicopter mode. They immediately get 2 uses out of them, plus the drill could be from Nosecone (I'm a believer!!!), the Fire truck could be for Inferno with a crane remold for Grapple, and the Submarine could be for Seaspray or Depth Charge or whoever since we've oddly not had many Transformers submarines (if any outside of Microns/Mini-Cons) ... or it could be a new hovercraft mode for Scourge so that we can do Galvatronus right with 4 Sweeps.

I'm hoping a third party company makes an Energon set, which includes a trailer and straight-up drone limbs (available in Energon, Nemesis and G1 colours), plus a Power Master set, with a parts-former trailer double set that becomes his armour and god-bomber armour.

I think both sets would sell very well.
