Movie Starscream Toy Gallery Online

Iniatialy I hated Movie Starscream's design, but after I saw him some in the trailer, and looked at this better figure, I'm starting to love it. (If only he had some color, say crimson red)

I've finally accepted most, if not all, of the movie designs now! Looks like a very nice, and accurate, toy incarnation of movie Screamer!

It is interesting to see how the general consensus has improved towards the look of the movie figures. I imagine a greater surge in appreciation for the figures once the movie hits and people have a storyline to relate with.

I really did a 180 when it came to Starscream's design. I went from absolutely hating it, to absolutely loving it. I don't know why, something about it appeals to me. I love the way the fins and wings are placed on his upper body, it makes him look very imposing. And that head just kicks ass for me. It looks more alien, but it's Starscream to me.

I think there is a little of that. Yeah, I did get used to Starscream, and have liked him more over time and chances are if his design was leaked today I would still hate it like I did the first time I saw it.

BUT I freaked out over the Megatron design too, and I still hate it now, maybe even more so than before. I had just as much time to get used to Megs, but never did...

Wow. Final colors really help bring out the detail on this guy. I'm glad they're doing paint washes on some parts and overall more detail on the movie figures. They don't look all playskool and plasticy anymore.

I still don't like it. His jet mode still looks like a supersized G2 Smokejumper and I like his robot mode less. Those shoulders are way to far out to the sides, hopefully mistransformed, but knowing Ryan I doubt it. I actually like Protoform Starscream's robot mode more as it looks better proportioned. Probably the first real "miss" for the line.

I never didn't like Starscream's design. I never liked the design as Starscream. Honestly ... if they had called this design "Dreadwing" I would've been OK with it because it's robot mode proportions remind me of G2 Dreadwing, who is one of my favorite Transformers. The body for Starscream and even the face are OK, just not for the sleek, sexy and sly Starscream. Quite simply, the design does not scream "Starscream" to me.

While Megatron's design has grown on me a little, it is still an absolutely horrible Transformer design in my opinion.

i cant say if its better or worse than the prototype.

He looks good enough to me, though those guns udner his wings look terrible.

But I hate to break it to ya, but you've missed one little bit of the transformation.

You need the press down on his chest (the parts with cockpitwindow attached) so it locks down. There's a peg on the inside of the chestpart and a hole in the torso part beneath it. It locks into place a makes the whole thing a little more stable and massive.

I'll be damned if I could figure this out any differently last night. Do you own this figure or can you see a picture in the gallery where it looks like it is mistransformed? I messed with it for another minute or so last night and as far as I could tell that's as good as it gets in the chest.

After comparing Ryan's pics of SS with Remy's on TFkenkon, I don't see any difference. I'm pretty sure Ryan got it right
