Big news comes out from The-Arker. While you may have seen the spectacular gallery of Leader Starscream here at Seibertron.com, we have yet to see any pictures of the figure's packaging. That changes now, as we finally get complete in package images of the figure in the new yellow packaging - set for release in the middle of this year. Check out the biography of Leader Starscream and the images below.

Optimus Prime may think him a coward, but Starscream never flees a fight out of fear alone. Every retreat is calculated to keep him alive long enough to return and destroy his opponents with overwhelming power. As long as the Autobots seek him in force, he will remain hidden. As soon as Optimus Prime ventures out alone, however, Starscream will strike.

You can find the original article over at The-Arker.

The bio makes him sound like a Tusken Raider! :lol:

"...easily startled, but they'll be back. And in greater numbers!"

On my 2 get list !!!

Hopefully we get a repaint without those damn tattoos...

I absolutely love the converting hand->launcher. It's so slick.

Sup with that color? Kinda looks like MP Starscream. I'm hoping it's the lighting because I was getting interested in picking this up.

Intelligence - 4????? Wtf?!?!?!?! He's not a dumbass. Should at least have 7 or higher. 4? That's near Devastator intelligence!!!

I agree with vector, but I still will probably get this figure. It looks pretty cool. Starscream was the only thing that kept me from hating RotF entirely. I still hate it :evil:

..... but not "entirely" :twisted:

Actually Bayformer Starscream is quite smart. He suggested a tactical retreat at the end of RotF. Headed the operation to retrieve the Allspark and Megatron in the first movie. Leaded the decepticons in the long absences of Megatron even thought the Fallen could have. If the Fallen thinks that Starscream is smart enough to be commander of the Decepticons then Starscream should at least have an eight!!!!

Man oh man oh man I am sooo excited...now is it me or does anyone else think that we will get so many redecos out of this one, "leader thundercracker, leader skywarp, leader G1 colors starscream (YES PLEASE!!!), (not sure where they would fit this one) LEADER SUNSTORM!!!...ok i think I need to go take a cold shower, but Hasbro would really drop the ball on this if they did not get all the use out of this beautifully engineered mold :APPLAUSE:

I saw the review of Starscream from Peaugh, and I can't wait for it now! Awesome job, Hasbro!

Posted: **Tue Mar 16, 2010 7:39 am**

Looks good.

Bee-yoo-teful. Can't wait for this, and I hope they deepen his voice pitch on the toy back to Starscream's voice in TF1 - squeaky-sneaky doesn't seem to fit movie screamer IMO.

Posted: **Tue Mar 16, 2010 9:34 am**

I can't wait for this one. Hopefully he will be out soon.

I agree, it should be 7 at the least, or 8 at the highest in my opinion, think about it, would an idiot know how to make a flawless replica of the All Spark? (aside from the fact that it didn't work) Shoot, the description contradicts the tech specs by saying that his retreats are carefully calculated, if they are, then how would he be able to pull that off with little intelligence? :-?

'Screamer isn't brute force, (though he can really dish it if need be, as seen in TRoS) he relies on strategy, planning, tactics. Oh yeah, and he's got more courage than "5", at the very least, "7" is more accurate. Whatever, anyways, everyone knows what I'm gonna say, I'm hyped to get this guy, can't wait!

Thank You GEEWUN! Finally, someone else who knows the truth behind the brilliance that is movie Starscream!

This is a must have in my eyes, not the most complicated transformation but damn sweet!!!!

Posted: **Tue Mar 16, 2010 11:35 am**

I'm now on the fence about this.

I like it, but I have the second voyager version, which is a great representation of a crappy design.

I really like a lot of the off-screen movie stuff, but the on-screen designs just don't work for me. I'm just not interested in dumping more dollars down that particular rabbit hole.

I'll have to wait and see on this one.

If they repaint him into Skywarp, I'll buy it.

Posted: **Tue Mar 16, 2010 1:55 pm**

A definite buy, he's large and in-charge! Do we know what he will say yet?

I'm truly hoping that they will repaint this (and the ROTF Voyager mold as well) into the other 3 main Seekers, Thundercracker, Ramjet, and Skywarp. I have these 4 characters in their first Movie Voy. molds, and they look great together. The better Voy mold and this one will make them all look so fantastic I'm getting giddy thinking about it.

"No One Can Defeat Starscream"

Posted: **Tue Mar 16, 2010 6:19 pm**

Very nice. Much better than the "Battle Hooks" Prime.

Posted: **Tue Mar 16, 2010 6:30 pm**

I find it ironic that they give him a courage rating of 5 and yet he says "No one can defeat Starscream."
:lol:

Posted: **Tue Mar 16, 2010 6:33 pm**

I really like what they've done here with Starscream. This is a must have for my collection!
