Is anyone else surprised that we are seeing a video review before any in hand pics?

I'm not surprised. Peaugh is known for purchasing toys stolen from Chinese factories for his TF toy reviews. Not making a judgment, just stating a fact.
As far as the figure, it looks good. I do like the engineering involved in the transformation.

My only real gripe is the chunkiness of the waist and where it is in jet mode. hmm

Of coarse, but normally we see pics from those factory workers LONG before we see a video review. I can't recall seeing a pic of these figures aside from display cases and Hasbro stock photos.

anyway, i couldn't agree more with all of you. this will be a truely awesome and possibly his absolute best reprecentation since generations in the deluxe lines.
my only qs are 1. how well does this figure and the voyager ss compare to the rest of the line.
2. if i take RC's head and but it on ss deluxes body and give both a new paint job do you guys think it would look like a slipstream?

Not a bad idea about creating your own Slipstream, but I wouldn't count on it working technically, as the ball joint and what not might be incompatible. But... hey, try it out, I could be wrong. Definitely one of the most slender jet bots i've ever seen.
As for not owning a Starscream; I started my classics collection as a serious collector only in the last 2 years, after a long break since I was a little kid and buying any random cool tranformers that came my way. As my collection grew, I started keeping limits on scale (I had an MP Starscream, but sold it off). I have most classic seekers except for skywarp and starscream, and I figured I wanted a little more variation in my collection, since I am already being so selective.
Perhaps this mold works since it'll tower over the other seekers in bot mode.

I can't even begin to imagine what the rest of the figures will be like. This was incredible.

I am really looking forward to this line. A huge improvement over Animated, a line to which I have eventually warmed...mostly.
Its only a deluze and it very nearly nails the CG figure, cant wait for the Voyager version.
Oh and I didnt realise Starscream was into heels.

Is there definately a voyager class figure coming out? Where was it announced? Seems odd Hasbro would go to the trouble of making different figures of the same character for such a small line, especially when this one already looks so awesome.

You honestly don't know what you are missing. Cartoon is probably one of the better Transformer cartoons out there. As for the character design, it is personal preference I guess. I much rather have this version of Starscream than the "How can my legs support my body?" version of Starscream that Michael Bay created. That design is just horrible as a robot and horrible as a toy.

Cant wait to see the other figs in the line.
