Well it need to represent the G1 SS, but they mocked it up. I think!

Probably a FAB KO repainted.

Looks like the creature from the black lagoon.

I posted about the FAB knockoffs a few weeks ago.

Look at those pretty gold lips. Perfect for.. nevermind.

The face looks like a baby penguin.

Dam!

I actually just received this yesterday. It's pretty bad quality. It's really hard to transform that mold when the automorph isn't in place!

The wings also do not fold in, they are one solid piece. The face is as pitiful as it looks! But it IS G1 Starscream colors.

I guess the "deposit" itself represents the head?

Just like Movie Starscream.

It's a bootleg. (I was corrected on the difference...)

Wikipedia wrote:By contrast, a knockoff item may imitate a well-known one, be sold for a lower price, and be of inferior quality, but there is usually no attempt to deceive the buyer, or infringe upon brand names, patents, trademarks or copyrights. An example of a knockoff item is Dynacell batteries.

The Animism Defender (sold at Big Lots) Beast Machines Optimus Primal (the one that doesn't transform much, but is more show accurate than the official toys.) is the perfect example of a knock off.

A bootleg is Animism Defender's TransMetal Rattrap, or the new movie (recorded in theaters) on Chinese street corners.

And yes, this Starscream is a bootleg, trying to cash in.
If it had been legit and they were actually repainting F.A.B.s....I'd cry. (Frenzy's the only one of 'em that's any good.)

....odd thing though, even the F.A.B.s are completely sold out. I think they might be rarer than Deluxe Class figures... because I've seen DC figures restocked twice since the drought...not the F.A.B.s

I don't like how the feet stick out the back in aly mode either. Let alone the head.
