Fans have been waiting a long time to see these figures and now we finally have pictures. In Demand Toys posted official images of Transformers Legacy voyager class Beast Wars Inferno and Armada Starscream on their Facebook page. Starscream comes with the Starsabr and his wing sword but each molded as a single pieced. Inferno has an articulated jaw. His transformation is rather different from the original since his robot limbs are not used for any of the ant limbs. You'll let us know if you think this change in transformation and aesthetic works for you.

NGL, Inferno is a bit disappointing imho. armada starscream is great. love seeing the star saber, though not a fan of the wing sword. then again, I wasn't a fan of it on the original too. maybe if they had done it like they did on the deluxe one a few years back. Armada with no minicon though, seems wrong. wheres my Grid? err I mean Swindle. :-D

edit: just realized screamer doesn't have any minicon ports. How does PRIME Bulkhead have minicon ports, but ARMADA Starscream not?

Why did you thought those were deluxes? Description error?

It's written "voyager" on the boxes in 5 languages.

Anyway, those, I look forward to.

Starscream seens preety good overall. I like that they kept the collapsible backpack from his Generations figure.
The accessories are fine, but it would have been cool to have more Minicon ports.
The wings look more G1 inspired with those proportions, which I don't think it's bad, just different.

Inferno looks pretty menacing. Can someone say which kind of ant this is based on?

Day 917 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

Man, these both look fantastic! I can't wait to buy Starscream four or five times! Really love the update, I want to see him with his shoulder canons deployed (looks possible). Not sure about the wing sword not just being removable wings, but I guess they didn't want to do the folding gimmick. Wish they would have painted it red and white instead of the whole thing red, feels like a wasted paint asset when it looks better in white on the back of the box. Star Saber is pretty cool, too. So far the Unicron Trilogy remakes are killing it.

I actually like the way they changed up Inferno's transformation. Always thought the arms and legs looked weird as ant limbs being so big. We actually got a preview of this on the Cybertron Metroplex box art so we should have all seen this coming. The articulated head reminds me of Ramhorn. Should be a really fun figure. Looks like the ant mandibles are still articulated.

Very cool. I was on the fence about Armada Starscream, but I'm off the fence - I'll be getting him. Inferno was an auto-purchase.

As for Armada Universe Starscream, there is no Armada Universe in my headcanon, or at least not one visited via multiversal shenanigans. I suppose this Starscream will be him returned to life after Galvatron blasts him into dust.

Does Inferno not have a 4th butt-flap/rotor-blade? If not, I wonder if 3rd party help could fix that, or not because his robot legs fill his abdomen. Regardless, that head sculpt is screaming at me to buy him...and that he should not be repainted into Antagony without extensive retooling.

Armada Starscream I'll have to see in person. Looks great, but I still have the whole Armada Seeker fleet from back in the day, plus the deluxe, and I need to curtail my army-building with non-G1-esque Seekers.

It’s hard to find flaws in that Starscream, Minicon ports aside. I especially love how they captured his brooding character with that excessively handsome face

Starscream ..is a Starscream. I thought Armada Screamer already received a modern update not too long ago?

Inferno looks great. Something cute about the Ants features. I don't like the idea of a gun stuck on top of a Beast Mode. I'm used to weapons being hidden in BW figures. But apart from that he looks like one of the most faithful BW updates yet.

Starscream got a deluxe around 2012 or so. Hardly recent, and different class. It was 2014 to be exact.

Transformers is nothing but disappointment lately. Inferno is my favorite Predacon & I couldn't wait to see him. Robot mode looks good but that ant mode sucks! I might just save my money because I have the original it's far superior. I see no reason to blow $30 for a downgrade. :roll:

It's all a bit timey wimey. I recall seeing Armada Screamer around the same time as Generations Sky Byte. Which it was - both in 2014. Just didn't realise that was eight years ago now :oops:

The new one actually looks like an Ant. Which is what this line has gone for with the BW figures since Kingdom. Less stylised Beast Modes.

One thing I can say about this new one is, I've never had an Armada Universe Starscream in the past. So, it's new to me.

I have a friend who Starscream is his favourite character and he has all of them. From Diaclone to present day. So I just see new postings like this one and just get a sense of deja vu :lol:

Re: First Look at Legacy Voyagers BW Inferno and Armada Starscream (2137326)
Posted by Rtron on July 5th, 2022 @ 9:52am CDT

Somewhat disappointed by the lack of minicon ports on Starscream, but I knew that gimmicks would be removed from Unicron Trilogy remakes and that it was going to be a sticking point for me from the get go.

Inferno I'm liking very much, specially like the articulated jaw to showcase his madness. Although I'm disappointed that he doesn't actually have his gun, but rather rips off his own ass to use it as a gun. I may end up designing and 3D printing a custom gun.

I still love the "realistic" alt modes mixed in with the screen accurate robot modes, it feels new, better for mass market appeal, and will help these figures stand out if they ever do ANOTHER remake of Beast Wars and go for screen accurate alt modes at that point. However, I'm a bit worried they'll extend this aesthetic to Dragon Megatron. I mean, dragons don't exist so there's no "realistic" way to do him, but I'm afraid they might remove the Transmetal details from the alt mode to make him blend in more with the season 1 cast. I really hope they don't.

Thats me all over. except for the diaclone, I dont have that one...yet. oh and pretender, missing him too. Honestly I've been super excited for this release. I have the previous generations armada screamer, but his clear orange plastic bits have all cracked. his swords still sit in his wings ok, but his head is held on with sticky tack :-(

this also makes me very excited to see the armada megs. honestly, I did not like the armada toon at all, and though almost all of the autobot toys were crap, I absolutely loved the decepticon toys, just wished they had articulation. Bring on Tidal wave, Cyclonus, Demolisher, Wheeljack/rampage, and toss in a Sideways for good measure.

It is noticeable that his gun isn't in his hand, it was a very distinct feature to his design.

Honestly, I can't seem them going any other way. TM2 Megatron doesn't fit in with the rest of the Beast Wars figures released since Kingdom. Unless they change his aesthetic to bring it inline with the others. Bypassing the Transmetals to include him, as they have, will likely lead to caveats.

I really really don't like what they have done to Inferno's torso. Making the ant eyes that much smaller just creates this wide sea of red between them on his chest when the blue eyes were such a prominent part of Inferno's chest on both the original toy and the cartoon model. They've gone from being main aspects of the front of his chest to inconsequential aspects hidden on the sides of his chest.

I love how unhinged Inferno looks, and the ant mode is pretty tidy, I defiantly need more Predacons to even out the Beast Wars ranks so he'll be an instant buy

Closer to the biology of a Fire Ant.

The only other way to have made his robot mode chest be toon accurate would have been to use faux parts, I think the approach they used is much better.

Though how many years till we get transmetal redos (or even netter, reissues)

Inferno is an instabuy, even if the robot mode kibble seems off. Is he mistransformed?

Starscream, I'm split on. I love the Armada figure, but the fact his back can't fold down always bothered me. If this fixes that (which it seems to) then I'll get this as well.

Regardless, it was never going to work out very well trying to make a robot from a animal or insect, insects more so because of hoe some of them are. On screen in TV magic land you can do almost anything but when it comes to making a toy of it becomes a lot more complicated. This is why I was never a fan of the BW toys in general.

The issue is a lot of this is based on Season One/initial wave designs and figures.
The more creative and intricate designs didn't make it into the show. By the same token, they got better at it with subsequent waves. Much like comparing the 84 G1 figures to say, the post-Movie characters. Development and crafting skills improved over time.

IMO, the BW Scorponok toy was a far better design than the show model, and he looked good in both modes.

I think they've done a good job here and with many other beast formers, never doubt what the designers can do when push comes to shove.

I do agree with what people are saying about Inferno's blender butt engine gun and his chest. I think the chest could have been done better. al they would have had to do was to make the sides with the eyes be separate panels with either a double hinge or a slider to move them to overlap the center of the head. not only would it look better, it would also make it a bit more show accurate. something like the rough sketch I attached here.

Some Beast Modes didn't even exist during the Prehistoric era. Authenticity to the period was never a serious consideration.

Good to see indemand got the size class wrong

think I'd have preferred a non transforming swindle over the starsqbre if hasbro has to be that tight. Looks good enough tho so he is a potential buy along with his likely repaints/retool.

Sadly inferno looks off like the other beast wars stuff. I'll likely get him for the royalty but if I still had the original I'd be passing. Unlike tigertron he doesn't have a better mp option or even a Red substitute yet.

It looks to me like that hinge allows the ant head to split open so you can pull his robot head out and store the ant mandibles, then closes back up. Nothing more.

I did too when I got my Bulkhead. But with the square base around the peg that has the divots in the corners, added to the hole in the middle, it still LOOKS like a minicon port.

Indeed. Meanwhile, MP Tigatron was out nearly two years ago now. There's only fourteen characters in Season One. Takara are so close to actually finishing one MP line. If they decided to pull their finger out >:oP
