He's not more fragile than the others. One of the wings is flimsier and comes off easily (not as easily as Hotspot's chest though) but he doesnt feel more fragile.

Not sure how I feel about SG Starscream. I don't own any other SG figures and he really clashes with the rest of the G1/BW characters. Would have much, much preferred a straight G1 Starscream or even an Action Master SS. SS in Jetfire's colors just doesn't do it for me. I'll have to see the figure first, but maybe I can repurpose him as an upgraded R-Blade. :-?

Yeah, I'm not surprised they went with the Seeker head, that was basically inevitable (as much as I would have loved a Universe Sunstorm from UW Thrust).

I haven't really looked into SG stuff (though I should probably get on it), so I can't say much about Shatterscream as a character, and I can't comment on the toy 'til I see it. That said, having one SG guy in the scramble pool makes him feel like a bit of an orphan to me. All the other factions have enough for a full combiner (except the Maximals, but they can still pull together Magnaboss if they cheat and use stickers). It feels a little weird.

That said, he's an extra. Toxitron and Counterpunch are what I put down money for, and what I see of them so far is to my liking.

I will more than gladly take a Shattered Glass Starscream off of someone's hands should they decide he is not for them. Shattered Glass is my THING!!!

That sounds like the setup for a joke. Two not-quite-Starscreams walk into Maccadam's...

Anyone know where I can get properly-scaled barstools? Because now I almost want to do this for realsies.

Such a hodgepodge of characters and weapons, I love it! FoC Ruination looks more cohesive (thanks in part to the deco and Combaticon molds), but Wreckage is just plain messy, especially his weapons.

I'm with you. I love how all the different guns, even the HFG, have been mixed around. But I will be adding my Toxitron to my Stunticon collection, not my Wreckers.

Enough of the combined gimmicks we'll take a Toxitron please N thank you >:oP

That's Toxitron's own toxic acid that oozes and secretes from his body.

Physically, he's kinda like Meltdown from Transformers Animated. You try to touch him, you gonna get BURNED! :twisted:

Fans are getting their final Transformers Collector's Club Figures and we can now have a good look at that mystery figure: SG Starscream. You will find images below coming from TFW2005 member SeiberBirdR and sent to us by fellow Seibertronian Kurthy. You will also find images of Toxitron and Counterpunch. The SG Starscream uses the exact same headsculpt and mold as United Warriors Ghost Starscream.

News Credits: 191 · Thu May 18, 2017 1:13 pm

That Toxitron just oozes beauty; and I love that Counterpunch headsculpt

... oh and uh, guy-who-could-have-been-Sunstorm looks decent too.

This Starscream is now my first and probably will be my only SG figure, but more importantly my only Grumpy Starscream. His expression makes me think he's smelled something really bad, possibly Toxitron?

That's quite a list so I'm not going to quote it, but the answer is nope. I own none of those! I own very few club/botcon figures. Some of those I do wish I owned though, perhaps one day, SG Starscream will not be all grumpy and alone.

Just in case it wasnt all clear, the figures I quoted are not from the club, they are other releases, some mainline (like Universe Dinobot and Cybertron Ransack) which the Club used in their stories to repurpose as SG characters.

Like this toy is SG Groove:

So in the end, you might have more Shattered Glass figures than you think

Did they make any other SG combiner characters, otherwise this guy is really going to be lonely.

News Credits: 8 · Thu May 18, 2017 2:40 pm

Got my box today!

Gotta backpedal on screamer a step or two. While I still feel like there coulda been better choices for a combiner limb than a random SG guy, this is a GORGEOUS Deco and I love it. Gotta repurpose him somehow.

I widh Toxi didntbhave that puddy green for the edges of the fr9nt cab. I fuess thats the "unpaintable" plastic and they tried to match colors, but it looks outta place in pictures. When I get mine out though, maybe it'll be better in person
