Seconded on that movie. I was so glad to see how that American Godzilla in that crappy Matthew Broderick movie--oop, not ruining it...

Watch Godzilla: Final Wars, people. S'all that needs to be said.

He's not even the best seeker toy in the Armadaverse....

Next silly thread!

I really don't care for him. When I think of SS, I think of G1, Classics,and even Titanium WWI SS. Perhaps Movie SS (He's growning on me a lot lately). Energon, he's too small and wimpy looking, and his weapons are rediculously big. Armada, he doesn't do it for me. But if you like him, that's just Prime. :)

I like him. He was my 1st TF I got that started me off collecting TF.

I like that he has three distinct sound effects and a flip out sword, but his long arms and huge back make him look weird. That didn't stop me from picking one up though.

I got stuck with the T'Cracker repaint, but still great.

Well I have seen him at let me tell you, he is one of the last toys I would get, not even close to the best toy.

Yeah, even Armada Hotshot was better than him.

You're gonna make me puke with that comment.

Aside Armada Smokescreen, Hotshot is the worst of that line.
Starscream was a nice attempt to reinvent the character
and sported a nice red color scheme, but hardly the best.
Out of all the Armada stuff, only Megs remains free of
storage, for now.

I love Starscream in all his forms. Armada Starscream got me back into collecting. Best figure ever? Hell no. A great figure? Yes sir indeed.

I do like the look of the Armada seekers. They have a more deadly appearance than the G1 figures. I agree that they could do with better articulation.

The wing sword was a good idea, neat way to store it.

I remember enjoying Armada Starscream - you have to recall that at the time there was no Robotmaster version, not MP, no classic, and in fact - no Starscream really, since the Beast Wars had been all the rage...

So given the time - and it being the first retooling of Starscream - it was great. A big, poseable reinvention that was pretty much faithful to the G1 incarnation (insofar as it wasn't as big a departure as other SSs)...

So don't knock him completely.

At the time SS fans had nothing the reissue or him

I like Armada Starscream a lot as a toy. But not the coolest I ever saw. If were talking Transformers I may have to go with Masterpiece Convoy or even Star Convoy or Star Saber, those guys are COOL.
