The Energon Pub

I just bought on ebay the Galaxy Force Takara Starscream, and I wanted to know, is it superior to the Hasbro Starscream VS Vector Prime 2-Pack? I noticed that in some images the Starscream from Takara had some coloring that IMHO doesn't match the cartoon very accurately, while the Large Supreme Class does an accurate modeling of the coloring. Sadly I have no idea how accurate the Hasbro VS Vector Prime 2-Pack is..

Which Starscream is the most Cybertron Cartoon accurate, has the best Plastic, and is the all around best representation of the actual bot in the Show??

The Supreme Starscream is an accurate representation of Starscream at... whatever part of the show it was where he got enormous. The Galaxy Force Starscream is accurate the rest of the time.

The version of Starscream that came in the two-pack with Vector Prime has nothing to do with Starscream's appearance at any time in the show.

Here's pic of the 2-pack

So me buying the Takara Version was a good thing right??

So i need to have the Supreme class and pretty much the best versions of him released thus far will be complete...????

I do find that 2-Pack's color scheme quite striking though...

the thing that bugs me about the Takara Version is that his pilons above the shoulders on either side of the head are in red, while in the show they are black, plus the guns on his stomach are silver in the show, while on the Takara they are just black... I'm glad to see the Supreme class have the correct paint applications, How could they not get it right with his size, but still I kinda feel like maybe I waisted my money and time tracking down theTakara Version, when I could have just bought the Supreme for as much money... help me, please disagee with me!!! convince me that Takara Starscream is worth it!!!

I have all three (TRU Exclusive Voyager, Supreme, and GF Starscream).

If you can get them, go for it. I have no regrets.

thanks, i may try to, but I kinda am trying to stay within my 15 Figure limits, I will be getting the Supreme class just because him battling Primus is sweet!!! and he's got a freaking crown and looks like the War Withih, but better.. it's like a G-1 Proto-Starscream in one giant box!!!

Still what issues are known on the Hasbro Toys, and what issues are known on the Takara Version?

Supreme Starscream is a nice figure to own, but he has about the same level of articulation as the Legends version of him.

Also his Blade is made from the same kind of Plastic as Vector Prime's 'wings', so it does warp and bend funny.

Still I have no regrets about buying him!

Damn that sucks, I mean the only thing worse then crooked Wolverine claws on a Marvel legends toy, is the crooked sword on a Starscream...

I'm a huge Starscream fan(overrated compared to members here, of course), but i still don't have a Cybertron version of him yet. So far, Energon Starscream and Classics are the ones bumping heads for my fav, but once i get my Takara GF Starscream, i'm quite certain he will rule as THE Starscream of my collection. (Note: i only collect plastics, due to childhood trauma under usage of metal transformers, though MP Starsceam does scream pretty loud)

The galaxy force version RULES. It is essentially War Within Starscream.

I consider the two-pack version to be more like Thrust due to the color scheme.

I was waiting to see when you'd decided to post on this subject... After viewing your collection, which Starscream that you own is your favorite?

I love the slideshow view you set up by the way, Very cool!!!

I have to say, in my opinion, and granted I'm an old school Geewunner, so I love the original Starscream very much, but that Starscream from Galaxy Force/cybertron series kicks major ass!! especially because I can almost view him as the original cybertronian form that was in the first episodes of G-1, and he is sucha better representation of the war within version...So for me, lately it's Galaxy Force or the Supreme Starscream as No. 1, with the Wal-mart soon to be released G-1 deco Masterpiece as 2nd.. and Armada 3rd..Waspinator 4th, because he was possesed by Starscream and all...Don't own classics or the Robot Masters version..unfortunately..
