Starscream is a better president than Obama. Does Starscream play golf all day instead of dealing with important stuff? No!
Joke or not; quick American government lesson. The Executive Branch of the United States actually isn't actually that influential to legislation. The Legislative branch of the United States government, the senate and house of represenatives; has the majority of influence over legislation and legislative practices. It's been this was since Hor-Hey Washington.

I know, but what is the point of Mr. Obama? He is not the smartest guy in my opinion.

Really when it comes down to it, the president of the United States is essentially a moderator for the higher functions of the federal government. He has the power to executive federal law, meaning he approves or veto's it; even then a veto can be overturned by the Judicial branch, the Legislative branch, or both. The president also has the responsibility of appointing federal executive, diplomatic, regulatory, and judicial officers, and concluding treaties with foreign powers amongst other things. You can feel how you want about the president, but the point stands; with the way the United States federal government is designed the three branches aren't supposed to have more power than the other, however due to the influence of the legislative branch, it has the most power in the federal government unofficially. The responsibility falls on the president for good and ill, but if you want to blame any one, blame the legislative branch.

Really? We go from Transformers to American politics? No, we don't.
Back on topic please, and SillySpringer, you're on your last chance. No more public shoulder taps, no more pm's, it's warnings from now on.

Question is, would the transformation even allow for a molded crown head?

Of course it isn't sculpted on his head! It is the same as Thundercracker's head sculpt, why spend money re-sculpting his head when you can just add a tiny accessory?
And also, I think it can be on his head in vehicle mode, remember Jetfire's battle mask?

Personally I don't think the crown is molded on. BUT. Remolding the head probably wouldn't cost any more than including that brand new accessory. And yes Jetfire had the mask, but I'm pretty sure the crown is bigger.

With all this talk of Starscream's crown and political ambition, I kind of want a tiara option for him now. I think he's diva enough to pull it off.

Of course the crown is bigger, but Jetfire's antennae were pretty long, so who knows!

Starscream wanted to be "calife à la Place du Calife" for ever. At least, in a storyline, his actions followed his words.
Just in case, what is the official title of that story line? Freom the very beginning I mean? Because I plan to at least buy the graphic novels.

I took three years of French in high school and I still had to look that reference up. Congratulations. And yes, that sounds like exactly Starscream's goal.

I think it was started in Dark Cybertron and continues now in Combiner Wars. I'll open up the Comixology app and see what's what.

Pretty certain the transformation doesnt allow for a giant crown to be kept on in vehicle mode. And even if it did, I doubt it is molded on.

Looks like Robots in Disguise Volume 5 is where it may have started, 'Screamer is on the cover of that with his crown. It collects issues 17-22.

For what it's worth Robot Kingdom has their pre-orders for Screamer listed for July. That makes more sense to me but I'm hoping for a birthday miracle. On another note the price that the MP Jets go for is about what Japan paid for MP-Scream with his gear, we've been over paying all this time since we've gotten less stuff with the figures.

Leader UM - a fine prize for those who don't mind paying a bit extra...
I wouldn't mind one, but my hankering for the other figures is much stronger.
