One for each year of the Movieverse's decade strong tenure. Here's to a few more explosive years!

Evil Eye wrote:If I had one singular complaint it's that I'd probably swap out the ER Starscream for Siege. Even as a massive jet nerd, ER Screamer's (admittedly gorgeous) F-15 mode can't really make up for the fact he's basically an inflated Classics Seeker, complete with odd proportions, no waist swivel and hollow sides. The Siege Seeker meanwhile has an absolutely stellar (no pun intended) robot mode, an interesting transformation and honestly a really nice altmode. Like I've never much cared for the G1 Tetrajet design but this figure made me like it. I can even forgive the legs underneath as they look like booster modules more than just folded up robot legs. But that's just me anyway.

Our lists are not so dissimilar after all and I really love your number 1. I am really surprised at your Beast Hunters Starscream pick though. That toy is way down the list for me (same with the animated voyager). Did you ever get to experience the First Edition mold?

I didn't no. I didn't handle the voyager either. I only ever got the Beast Hunters deluxe. I relived that toy during my Den redo over the past week, and it, Dreadwing, and Sharkticon Megatron are still 3 Beast Hunter era toys that are really fun and really cool.

Some consider him to be the worst BH,i agree kinda.He has special colors at least.I'm okay with the jet without the weapon.
They have reused the same yellow from Dread and Sound,a strange lack of variety in the decos.

IMO, yes.
#5) 2007 voyager. Movie accuracy be damned, this is the most fun I had with a Movie toy ever. Plus the best custom fodder ever.
#4) The DOTM deluxe. Small, yet so good. With hidden potential for greatness.
#3) HFTD leader. That was a MP before MPM were truly a thing.
#2) MPM. The most perfect bot mode ever despite the butt-flap. Too bad that the jet mode is sacrificed a bit and it's so long to transform.
#1) Studio Series 2007/ROTF. Perfect balance with size, beauty, and fun.

Question, as I'm not as familiar with the movie line, are there any other movie molds of Starscream, or are those 5 all of them? Because if those are it, then by a technicality, does top 5 really apply if they are the only 5?
Edit: D'oh I just remembered there is some other Voyager mold that came with the tattoos and had his hands hanging out the back of the jet, so that would make top 5 out of 6?
