Earlier this morning, our friends at
Entertainment Earth emailed to let all of you know at Seibertron.com about a new pre-order for a Studio Series 72 Starscream action figure.
This Voyager Class version of Starscream, from the live-action Bumblebee Movie, features this backstabbing villain in his Cybertronian mode from the Movie Universe, which retains his familiar G1 color scheme and a normal (coherent?) looking robot mode than the fictionally-later Bayverse Starscream which had a tan color scheme and a more "gorilla-with-chicken-legs" robot mode.
As noted by several keen-eyed Seibertronians, this new Starscream is a heavy retool / remold of Studio Series Voyager Class Blitzwing. Both figures share several parts such as the chest cockpit, shoulders and other parts.
Seeker fans may be left wondering how long until the inevitable recolors are revealed for the other Seekers like Skywarp, Thundercracker and possibly others, though it's possible that those never see the light of day as well such as Action Master Starscream and the Energon and Cybertron toy lines which never saw proper recolors of Starscream into his Seeker brothers (Action Master Thundercracker excluded for obvious reasons due to his obnoxious unfamiliar colors).
The listing on
EntertainmentEarth.com states that the figure will be released in July 2021, so fans will have to wait about 7 more months to get this exciting new version of Starscream. In addition to a
single figure listing for Starscream, there is also a
shared case wave that comes packed 2 Starscreams with 1 Studio Series 86 Voyager Class Hot Rod.
Product Description: This Studio Series 72 Voyager Class Transformers: Bumblebee-inspired Starscream figure converts from robot to tetrajet mode in 31 steps. Remove backdrop to showcase Starscream in the Cybertron Falls scene. In the Cybertron Falls scene from Transformers: Bumblebee, the Autobot resistance retreats to escape the planet as Cybertron falls under Decepticon control. Starscream and the seekers destroy the Autobot launchpad in an effort the prevent their escape. Pose the figure out with the included Null Ray accessories and imagine recreating this classic movie moment!
Without further ado, check out the listing from EntertainmentEarth.com as well as some pictures which we mirrored below for your convenience.
