There's a few molds that got made into seekers, but not Starscream, like SS TC. Other options include Machine Wars TC, Botcon 2013 TC (homage to MW TC), Cybertron TC. I think that's about it.

You missed the best TC of all, Action Master TC.

Technically Action Master TC is a repaint of Starscream, even if his accessory is different.
But yes, if you can handle those colors, then he's absolutely fantastic.

That figure just doesn't do it for me. Too small, too simple, exposed head, cheap feeling plastic, lackluster deco. Many are issues shared with other FOC toys really, that was a pretty dark time in the history of the brand's offerings, I am glad we have moved on from it. That mold does much better as Skywarp though and it did appear on that Seeker's top 5 list. After I published this starscream list, I actually wrote a list for all 5 other main seekers and it's fun how different molds work better for different toys. None of the lists are the same, they each have a different variety of molds that I found worked better for that particular seeker and even at least 1 mold (or TF era) that is unique to each list (like how we have Dirge in ROTF, Thrust in Armada, Ramjet in G2). I look forward to sharing those lists with you all so we can continue our discussion as the year progresses.

I know you must have at least a zillion lists in the oven, but here's a new one for you (unless that list already exist and I forgot it.):
Top 5 redeco/repaints that look way better than the "horrible" original.
Often, there's that toy that just dosen't do anything for you, but in the right colors it become the best thing ever. My latest example is Siege Optimus Prime VS Netflix Spoiler Nemesis Prime. I found that "cybertronian" mode for Optimus simply repulsive, but in Nemesis colors, it's just so perfect.
And there's many more like this on my own personal list.

But I found a recent top 10 list of Starscream toys and the exclusion of Bayverse toys is really felt. It's not even a G1 Strscream list, since they do have Alligned Starscream there. The Animated Stasrcream mold is one of the only blemishes to that phenomenal line and the Cyberbattalion toy is a simple toy for young kids who aren't advanced enough to own more complex (or pricier) CHUG Starscream toys. And both those toys are on this list! Are we really saying here that those two toys are better than the Movie verse Leader Starscream toy? It ends up looking real silly.

Speaking of Animated Starscream I really wish that mold was better. I love how it looks (kinda reminds me of a cross between one of the later Macross Valkyries and Dangaioh) but IIRC it's a fiddly mess that is no fun at all to pose, transform or really do much with.

I would really like to know how Prime starscream made it in there, considering he might actually be more closely related to movie Starscream and outside of including his RiD2015 and FOC, he didn't even have a remotely "G1" body in Prime or ancillary media.

I also agree that including Bayverse Starscream is a must. Because Bay-haters or not, the Bay movies are EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to Transformers. The movies introdused new bold designs and it grought back old fans (like me) and most importantly, at least 2 generations of new fans with whose gateway to Transformers were the movies.

Don't see how he could be when they aren't even the same character in the movie that they both appear in.
