Not a TF so I have no idea.

I like! I like! (also, bonus points for pizza cats)

Does this mean we can talk about HoS Starscream now?

He looks amazing, I'll take him in 3 color schemes please!

Just the other day some guy said he wanted HoS Seekers. lol.
+INFINITY points for Samurai Pizza Cats.

I like this HOS Starscream proto type. if it's voyager or ultra or dare I dream leader sized,then i'll buy it.

hopefully we get that promised HOS Megatron toy. I like the alt mode design because it's a canon like 1986 galvatron's alt mode. I envision the eventual galvatron repaint with the slighlty remolded robot head.

my guess is were seeing this HOS Starscream 3rd party toy get made in 2012. thanks in part to IDW reviving the HOS TF comic. with their infestation part 2 saga that takes place in the HOS TF time period/universe.

If I ever spend big money on a 3rd party toy, this might just be that delicious HoS Starscream.

All I saw was Samurai Pizza Cats. I know the header said something about Starscream, but all I see is Samurai Pizza Cats.

Looks impressive, but does it transform?

So let's see. Got the H.o.S. Prime. There's Nemesis & Shattered Glass versions should I desire. H.o.S. Shockwave is on the way. All based off of a kickass, but short-lived IDW limited six issue run. And NOW they're doing Starscream, which could lead to all three Seekers.

Being as I don't know whether to squeel or cream, I will sqreem. You all won't hear it, but I'm about to pierce eardrums and change undies. Excuse me now..

I. Am. So. Gonna. Cave.

Grr.

TAKE MY MONEY!

A very nice looking figure but I doubt I'll have the funds to allocate to this.

Dude, I love those battleship models. Oh yeah, and the HOS Starscream figure looks cool too.

awhells no - i didn't want to see that slice of awesomeness - but i did, and now because i did, i see total awesomeness...ah hell now im gonna have to start me a stash of cash...argh

What is that grey prototype on the far left of the TFC table, to the left of the big Hercules poster?

looks pretty sick
may have to be my 1st HoS purchase if the price is right

Been mostly ignoring hearts of steel stuff as I take very little interest in the comics themselves. This is pretty boss though.

That's TFC's Reflector, I'm surprised that he still hasn't come out, probably after Hercules is done.

the only 3rd party figure that i own (that aren't add on parts) is the battle roller.. which is pretty cool... (if i could afford all of the cone heads.. i'd own them as well) but i am DEFINITELY going to have to pick this up. i always loved this design. it looks beautiful. i can't wait.

i'm surprised hasbro hasn't reached into the hearts of steel designs. it'd be a great little sub line that i think most collectors would enjoy.. not to mention kids. kids LOVE trains, planes, boats, etc.

oh well. if hasbro isn't going to do it, 3rd party companies will. i'm so glad we all live and collect in this era. there are so many cool things coming from these companies. our transforming robot selection is endless.

Want it! Also want the figure under SC.

Some new and better images of D.I. Studio's Hearts of Steel Starscream and have been posted by TEKMEN to his weibo page. Even more interesting, they also have a prototype for a Hearts of Steel Insectitrain on display. It appears this new third-party company plans to give MasterMind Creations a run for their money. Images mirrored below.

Additionally TFW2005's Cadbane has posted some up close and personal shots of Starscream that begin here.

I like HOC Starscream & i'll try to buy him.

When I saw the HOC insecticons a long time ago. i loved them. that is until the fan projects casualty G-1 styled insecticons came out & i liked them better.

The only way i could see myself buying the HOC insecticons. is if all 3 HOC insecticons combined in robot mode. yes i realize they combine in train mode but it's not enough,i need them to also combine in robot mode to create a huge leader or ultra sized sized robot gestalt combiner

I like the figure, it just doesn't fit the starscream personality, it isn't sleek, quick, or lanky. I've never seen/read any of the HoS stuff but judging by the wright's brothers inspiration, lanky would be a much better representation. Also, those feet are atrocious.

With all that said though, it looks pretty bad ass.

Eeeh, he's not as cool looking up close, he doesn't have the "sexy face" that Guido Guidi gives Starscream, it looks like he's in shock, sorta.

Looks really pretty cool but I know the price tag is going to keep from buying it xP

Too sexy to pass up. This might end up being the first HOS figure I'll get. Hopefully it won't be uber-expensive.

Love these. I always loved the concept and designs of the HoS characters. I just wish I had the money for third party products, or I'd have these when they came out, along with the HoS Prime that came out, and the HoS Shockwave that is in the works.

Simply not impressed...next!!

I would say he looks more like Mindwipe than he does Starscream. Put him in Mindwipe colors and you have a winner.

The whole head just isn't working for me. I can see what cannonfodder4000 means about the face, and the ear flap things just make him look like the aquatic people from the G1 cartoon.

Being the War buff that I am, I might actually buy Starscream if he transforms into a bomber. (hence the 3 propellers which some european WWI era aircraft had) However there were no aircraft in the 1800's when HOS took place. So if Starscream turns into a Da Vinci styled flying machine Im not interested.

On a seperate note, I find it very disturbing how the word "sexy" is being used to describe a male robots features.

Loving the HoS stuff!

what is that samurai pizza cat figure? who makes it? i really need it.

You know what I find Interesting, in HOS, Starscream turned into something more like the Wright Flyer, but they're the "Batwing" style concept art we saw in the back flaps, and not the straight wing version. Hmm.

Guess that was directed toward myself and cannonfodder, right?

Anyway....

Ageed. I'm not much of a war buff as you, but nonetheless I like anything war-ish, and if they style him as a WWI bomber, possible buy, but if his background has anything to do with Da Vinci, oh well, fan fiction will be needed...

But look at it!

How else can you describe it?

Argh its starscream the lawyer!!!
look he has the lawyer smirk! The whole "trust me" thing happening!!!

Ok on a related note, HoS was industrial revolution era, ok steam power was there, but we have to remember it is fiction so a whole concept can be utilized. That's what we have to remember

I would describe the Starscream artwork as "Awesome".

Now if you want to see my opinion of "Sexy" check this out:

It is an impressive looking mold but I have no real urge to get it. MasterMind Creations better kick it up a notch(speed wise/I know Cyclops is awesome). Looks like these guys are trying to beat them to the punch with the Insecticons as well.

Love the concept.
