Blindmouse at Theallspark has found a variant with the Target exclusive DOTM Voyager Starscream. One features solid opaque red plastic, while the other features translucent red plastic. There is no word if this is a running change from solid to translucent or if both will be available in plentiful numbers.

i like the one with the translucent red.
the other one is ok...

anyone know why there are so many variants this time around?

Because Hasbro knows you'll buy them both.

Why do they always have to mention that he's "Autobot Ratchet"? He's just Ratchet.

Because a Ratchet is a tool. No, not an insult, a Ratchet is a handywork tool. Hasbro needed to make it Autobot Ratchet for Trademark reasons. Like they had to for Jazz (Jazz music), Tracks (like the Tracks on a street), Grapple (a Grapple Line), etc.

really 2 left legs? what a rip off. sorry dude.

i take it your new here since you only have one reply and in which case welcome to seibertron!

by **Dethmoth** » Sun Jun 19, 2011 5:11 pm

Thank you for the welcome. I'm new to using forums but my son and I have been collecting for a while.

BTW this new Starscream repaint is way looser compared to my sons ROTF Starscream. I really like this mold though.

Don't take things so literally. Sheesh...It's called a joke, humor.
And if you're looking for a god that's translucent, then Ghost Starscream shall eat your words and make a new soul out of it.

Hey, don't tell me Starscream's not a god, because Starscream fans make a shrine out of that claim.

Not buying any of them i bought the rotf one and the deluxe dotm one.

The only exclusives I'm buying from Target are:
* HA Leadfoot
* Deluxe Spacecase
* Jazz (for some reason :???:

)

Starscream can be a shelfwarmer for all I care.

ya.. i feel a little sacreligous feeling when ever you, wait, ANYONE speaks of a tf being a god or anything of the sort.

and how is starscream a god when he is a childrens toy? and having a shrine is not the same as an idol.
now if it did come to the point when the shrine was an idol for anyone then i guess he is that persons god.

I suppose I might end up getting this figure. If I do, I'll probably try to get the one with the transparent cockpit. I'm not a huge fan of the mold, and I already have the Leader version, and it would be more than good enough for me, except that I'm planning to have two Movie figure displays, one of which would be smaller scale and would require a smaller Starscream (so that the robot mode sizes wouldn't look ridiculous).

That's not what bothers me about him. What bothers me is they keep releasing the crappy first movie Voyager mold and people still buy it. At least its a store exclusive this time but still... Ironhide got some love this movie which is good, poor Ratchet only gets new deluxe molds every so often.
