Who else thinks Movie Starscream seriously needs a Leader class update?

I saw this kitbash from Jin Saotome's page of the Movie Starscream with actual claws, and granted it's not too much different, but Damn it!!! that is how they should have released him in the first place!!! likeness suffered over playbility...


you decide??

yea that would be a cool voyager, i dont see why SS should be leader, his size is fine, but this would have made a better SS.

i know this has been said before, but blackout needs leader-status the most.

well I'd agree but there was a sig in this forum that showed the size comparisons betweent he cars/trucks compared to the f-22 Raptors, and the raptor was huge!!!

Most of the decpticons need a leader class resize..

Bonecrusher, for example:

You wont see a Muti-Purpose Combat Vehicle the same size as a Camaro, or being dwarfed by a pickup truck.

Nor will you see a F-22 Raptor half the size of a semi.

Same thing with a helicopter being the same size as a GMC truck, if that.

I say no if it is just a bigger voyager figure with the same transformation. After all we already have 3 versions of the mold. If there is a 4th I would like to see Skywarp just because it would compliment Thundercracker.

Doesn't really mattter now. Has been discussed trillions of times. Quess Hasbro are too busy making money to read this.

Starscream was pretty huge...

But I guess Leader Class is only meant for "Leaders" and Brawl :lol:

Starscream would need to be Supreme size if he was to be in scale with the Autobots. Leader-class would be a somewhat pointless upgrade IMO.

I think Blackout needs to be Leader-class instead. He's extremely off-scale.

Yes he and the rest of the Cons need that badly!

I love your comments, Deadmetal.... :grin:

to all those complaining about leader blackout....I never said choose starscream over blackout.. but upgrade starscream to leader class and give us a movie accurate toy, that doesn't have a hugeass undercarriage and bulky arms attached to the wings.. or shoot, even better...

Make Starscream and Blackout, the only ones who are Ultra Class, and Bonecrusher Leader class sized, with a detachable head for accuracy, like when he gots Owned By Optimus Prime!!!!

Then all the rest should have been voyagers..., like Barricade (this is my own personal favorite and he needs a voyager class sized representation!!), Bumblebee 70s ver.(that crap that Hasbro put out for the 70s ver, doesn't even transform the way BB does in the movie...what a crappy way to honor the 70s camaro...) and 08 ver. Both done the right way!!!, and Jazz done with lots of articualtion for super posing when in bot mode!!!

These little details out of the way, I still think Starscream could benefit from being a larger class sized toy!!!


and also Hasbro, FYI, if your gonna release a repaint of Ironhide... then atleast get the colors right:

I bet you sideshow toys will release a good 16 inch diecast transformable and electric model of Frenzy, no disc shootin, but it would be "completely" movie accurate, proportionate, and retail at about 300.00 USD, with sounds from the movie, and a detachable and transforming head.....

What's wrong with me today???? Detachable heads for Frenzy and Bonecrusher??? OFF WIth his head!!!! :sad: !!! I need coffee, that's what it is..... :-? :-? :-?
