Is it worth it? Worth 10 bucks plus shipping? I haven't seen reviews about it, and what about supreme starscream, is it worth the four pounds, or is it four pounds of junk for 10 bucks?

I'll assume you mean Titanium Starscream?

He's definitely worth $10, but what's the shipping gonna cost
you? Anything over $15, and I'd pass on it. He isn't really
pose-friendly as the die-cast makes him top heavy.

If he'll remain MISB, disregard my opinion. Grab him.

In regards to Supreme Starscream, for $10, snatch his ass up
before he moves on.

Shipping for supreme starscream is already 21 bucks. So, 31 still worth it? titanium starscream I havent seen reviews for him, so he isn't poseable? I dont like the mold, but its a starscream, I mean I hate the jet mode, but like the robot mode.

$31 for a Supreme Starscream (which still retails around here
for $50+) isn't bad at all for a Supreme Class. If I didn't
have one already, I'd go for it.

Titanium Starscream isn't all that possible. His joints are plastic
and aren't really able to support the die-cast weight in any
off-the-wall poses. If you're just gonna have him stand on
his display base, go for it.

I bought mine at retail for $17 and don't regret it.

Certainly worth it.
He is not the most posable figure, but his size makes up for it. He is quite heavy, but is evenly weighted, so posing him is not an issue. His Cyber Key gimmicks are unobtrusive and on mine the missile automatically fires as it flips out, which catches many people out by surprise. His crown is a fine finishing touch.

I find he looks even better when displayed alongside other larger figures, like Tidal Wave, Unicron, Primus and Ultimate Bumblebee.

I would buy Titanium Starscream. Like it has been stated, he's pretty top-heavy. I had to sticky-tac him to his base to make him stay there.

I really need Supreme Starscream and will when I can find an awesome deal on him.

The superior Starscream is clearly the Galaxy Force voyager class.

Both are worth it, although 6Ti SS has the worst paint job for that mold. I don't have problems posing it.

I just got my Sunstorm today :grin:

I was Soooooooo happy when I spotted him!!!

I think they may release Skywarp when/if they release WW Grimlock and WW Prowl.

But, back on topic, I like both of these figs. I was able to pick up monster scale Screamer at TRU for like $20. I got one to display, one to kitbash and one for my Nephew. I don't like the massive scale of the fig (I can be kind of a scale nazi), but simply as a toy he's awesome.

Titanium Seeker Mold is great.. although there isn't that much articulation and you can see it's head coming out of the back of the plane in alternate moe.

Hasbro insisted Skywarp isn't being released when asked about him at Botcon. Sorry.

I have Titanium THUDERCRACKER. I'm pretty disappointed by his vehicle mode and innacuracy to the comics. Having the end be totally hollow ruins it for me. It's like it's not even fully transformed.

But if that's $10 and it's cheap shipping then .... why not?

that's just a ticker because, I want a complete set of Seekers and...I couldn't afford the botcon prices for classics and here...they may not release skywarp. Oh well, ever hopeful.

The reason I think they may yet be releasing WW Skywarp is that in the pamphlet that came with Ultra Magnus, he is listed next to grimlock and prowl (even though none of them are shown).

Since SW is just a repaint, it is entirely feasible that they'd try and squeeze the last pennies out of that line before it dries up.

Here's hoping, and if they don't release him, I own paint :-)
