English review for Studio Series Voyager 21 ROTF Starscream

Tis very much on my want list.

Picked up this pickle jar face yesterday!



Cool mold, lovely deco and really good gun arm integration.

I'm probably late to the party but don't forget to push out the chest for bot mode and then back in for alt-mode. Thanks for the heads up Hasbro

He does look awesome and yeah I didn't realise the chest thing when I got Lockdown until a couple days after I bought him.

I noticed a pin while transforming him a couldn't figure out why it was there so I thought maybe it was just to hold him together. Then I noticed how weird his chest looked when I TF'd him back into a bot. So I started poking at the inside of the chest and it popped right out. Not the easiest thing to do either way and spent feel good, but drags the ground if left out though and all the art shows the chest out.

Alt-mode was larger than expected and seems bigger than the old mold. Won't be able to compare until I get home on Friday. Excepted to see SR next to LD and HR.

Oh wow, that is a big difference. I like it a lot better than the OG and better as Shadow Raider. That satin orange paint is tops and contrasts nicely in bot mode

Not only that but don't forget to push the upper arms back. Unless you already know about that and you prefer this way

Talking about that little black flap? I prefer it the way it is, but according to the pics, art and instructions - it's forward and out for bot mode and back and in for alt-mode. Unless I'm mistaken?

Thanks to Dengeki Hobby, we have new stock images for Takara's take on the upcoming Transformers Studio Series World War II Bumblebee, Dark of the Moon Sideswipe, Movie 1 Barricade, and Crankcase.

Bumblebee, Barricade, and Sideswipe are all brand new molds. Bee is based on his flashback scene from WWII in The Last Knight, a design that sort of comes out of left field, but is still pretty cool to get. Maybe this will mean a WWII Hot Rod is on its way too! Sideswipe is based on his convertible Stingray mode from Dark of the Moon, complete with dual swords and dual blasters, just like those he wielded during the Mexican standoff scene. Barricade is a new mold using some Transformation tricks from his recent Masterpiece toy. Crankcase meanwhile is a simple repaint of the wave 1 Crowbar figure, confusingly enough.

All of these figures will be available some time early next year, so stay tuned for images as they come!

Man, that Sideswipe looks amazing! I don't actively buy SS, but I think I need that one in my hands.

The DOTM shockwave toy w2as recently rereleased in an amazing deco under the Movie the Best line and ehich ever version you get, it scales really well with the SS line.

DOTM Sideswipe suck though. Mostly because he's an unpainted prototype. The ROTF version is way better. Especially the HFTD Sidearm Sideswipe. Too bad the secondary market prices are ridiculous.

The SS version look like he'll have solid footing. As for the paint, we will have to wait for in-hand images to judge.
