I just received the shattered glass Starscream which is a combiner limb, I also have the unite warriors Ghost Starscream (also a combiner limb) They will be releasing the torso Titans Return (I htink) Starcream, so... Will there also be other Starscream repaints coming up? I hope so! I would love to make an All Starscream, super-Starscream Starscream of Starscreaminess.

Are there any I am unaware of? :3

No, the only other Starscream coming out is the ghost Starscream Headmaster that comes with Takara Tomy Legends Octane. You'll be able to stick it in Voyager Starscream's combined mode chest.

I suppose I can see if htey have released a tc and SW in those form.

But what do you mean? that new "king" starscream the torso? you can stick that octane headmaster in it? I have that on preorder.

UW Ghost Starscream and TFCC SG Starscream are the only two iterations with that particular head. No Thundercracker or Skywarp I'm afraid, and none are forthcoming.

Like all Power of the Primes Voyagers, Starscream comes with an Enigma of Combination, which has the same shape as the Matrix Core from the Leaders, the Prime Masters and the Titan Masters. In short, it can be freely switched out with any of the mentioned. Starscream's attaches just above the cockpit in Torso Mode.

Sooooo, I may need to talk my husband into getting me one more of each of the other two Starscreams :P

I will believe tc and warp will come one day, its usually, inevitable.

Not out of the CW molds, I'm afraid. The next Thundercracker will be made from the PotP Voyager, and will be a Toys 'R Us exclusive.

I'll find a solution, maybe even attempt a couple repaints.

I may make a Starscremess combiner custom. I'll use 4 base jets and mod them into the other Starscreams from the other universes. Meaning Armada, Energon, Machine Wars, and Prime.

Unfortunately they will have all the same torso and legs because the combiner gimmicks must be preserved. I wonder how I will do that? Especially for Prime Starscream because he's one spidly lanky guy and a big burly blocky body just won't work.

There's probably Seeker heads for any of the Aerialbot molds on Shapeways if you want to go for a Skywarp/Thundercracker limb.

Personally, I kind of want to see Conehead seekers made out of PotP Dreadwind/Blackwing come from somewhere.

We are definitely of the same mind here. I pointed out in the PotP line how moving the wings from the back to the legs in bot mode is similar to what came of Dirge and Ramjet from the original Seeker mold. I could definitely see Coneheads based on Blackwing.

Funny, I wouldn't mind Seekers from the UW Starscream mold either (in fact I'm doing a custom Screamer from a Skydive I have with Shapeways wings and head, though it's on hold until the winter ends and I can airbrush again). Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp and Sunstorm would be my candidates for the limbs, but what about the torso?

I have a few ideas...

1: BM Jetstorm (from Cyclonus). The jet mode is about right, and whilst Jetstorm never had actual legs, he never combined either so all bets are off. It works thematically too, with Jetstorm being a Vehicon general and all.

2: Combusta (from either Elita-1 or Silverbolt). Combusta was an obscure Japan-only Minicon (a redeco of Gunbarrel) who turned into a bomber. Personally I think that'd work wonderfully as the torso, as fembots that turn into really really big things like bombers are rare, and also the idea of a Decepticon "big mama" is hilarious and adorable. Also, mixed gender combiner where the torso is the female component- I don't think we've ever got that before!

3: Thunderwing (from Cyclonus or Starscream). This IMO would make a whole lot more sense than a Bludgeon combiner with Thunderwing's head. Plus his basic mode could be based on the inner robot with his combined mode being based on his shell.
