RM-12 Starscream

Postby Cyberpath » Sun Dec 16, 2012 9:32 am

I got one today. He looks amazing in person! The most cartoon-accurate looking Starscream toy I've seen so far.

And if his horizontal stabilisers folded like the Henkei version (which I also want) and the nosecone folded all the way to his back the toy would have been even better.

His nosecone in the cartoon was almost always grey, which I prefer, but it is blue in the three AKOM episodes so I'm okay with it. The jet looks great.

:D
I have been considering the Skywarp version of this mold recently as his Seeker buddies are missing him! :D
I dont know the history of the Robot Master line but it appears the Classics Seekers mold owes a lot to the RM mold? They just seem to be so similar! :-?

All I know is that Classics Starscream (in the Henkei colour scheme) also looks great! Don't have one yet.

The Henkei null-rays are way too bombastic though (and hopfully there's a 3rd party replacment for them) but the jet-mode looks so sleek in the photos -- I can almost hear "Pathetic fools! There's no escape!"

These seem pretty handy for the Classics mold?

I got my KO Henkei today! I don't have an original for comparison but this is pretty good for a KO; the reviews had me wary.

As reported the null rays won't stay on in robot mode, but that can be fixed I read. I don't like the Henkei guns anyway, too big. Might get 3rd Party lasers instead.

As for the engineering similarities you mention, spot on. The evolution of the design is wonderful

They definitely improved leg articulation and transformation of all stabilisers. The nosecone is still just... there. But it's a really great toy.
