Cybertron Supreme Starscream. He has too limited a range of
motion for me. And no, not even the crown saves him.
Why should it?

Didn't help in '86.



Angry Starscream is...angry

Gotta agree agin, for the money I payed and lack of both gimmick and complex transformation, I feel I got ripped off here too.

He's basicly a giant deluxe!

Still, I got 2 anyway.

Beast Wars Optimal Optimus. No quality issues here, save for the face that it was just a gargantuan disappointment all around. Granted, I should have figured that in the process of transforming into four things, the various modes might all look alike, but this went too far. Even RiD Megatron displayed cool differences between the various modes and that had, what, 10 alt modes? Give or take several. Plus, I'm not a fan for Big-Chest-Guns-Rrrragh! that don't retract or tuck back in some way, shape or form. Decent articulation and good quality control, though. Not enough to ruin the overall design for me, though.

The nonretracting guns are about my only problem with Optimal Optimus, otherwise, I gotta say, I love that guy.

If you have one with tight arm wings, you can set up your basic figs across them, also the opening canopy I thought was a nice touch.

However when I first saw him, I didn't like him either, it wasn't untill I scored him on clearance and opened him that I realy got to enjoy him.

Still, maybe because he was one of my top 20 bots since I started recollecting, or maybe it was his inital size compare to everyone else I had, but he worked form me.

However, I can also see when I think of how I first saw him that a fan could be let down by this figure.
