SDCC 2013 Coverage: Generations Starscream and Scoop, ConstructBots Predaking

Oh, that Armada Starscream is beautiful!!!



My only gripe it is that the sword(s) no longer form his wing. I hope the intakes fold onto his shoulder for a more accurate look. I'm immediately sold on this guy!

Scoop and pals are looking amazing as well! I would be surprised if we don't get him retooled into Scrapper. He would make a pretty nice Scrapper.

Now bring on Skywarp!

If I were to get Predaking, it would only be for the fact he has the black armor pieces (Seeker torso to boot as well!) I've been hoping for. Now for some purple and brown bits to complete the set...

He's supposed to be a Deluxe. That's what we were told back at BotCon.

Really cool looking Armada Starscream! The swords still coming from his wings is a cool homage even if his whole wing can no longer turn into a sword. I wonder what you can do with those parts on his back? Hopefully they can still come up as cannons. Scoop also looks pretty great with his little two pals.

If Armada Starscream has a chance I'm really hoping Energon Scorponok gets a chance in Generations! Hopefully we see more updated Unicron Trilogy characters.

Wait, what? The swords store inside the wings? I thought they made up what used to be his thrusters in jet mode!

Hopefully we see more updated Unicron Trilogy characters.

This so many times. I'd like to see Red Alert, Demolishor, and Cyclonus.

I'd say the colors are pretty decent. I wish there was more silver/gray on the legs, and the red was more like this. The red seen here feels like it has a touch of orange.

Scoop looks cool to.

Besides the black detailing around the intakes on his pecs, shoulders, and the chinstrap, and that the lower legs should be grey instead of black, what's he missing? Looks right to me. It's hardly "not even close."

No, actually I think they're under the wings. I'm basing this assumption on this pic from TFW.

You can see some translucent pieces under the wings which I'm pretty sure are the swords.

Screamer's got too much red. He needs more color-contrast like the original toy had. Some more black ought to do it.

Honestly, I feel that he needs more gray than black.

Starscream looks amazing but I doubt he will see him packed with Swindle,but it does look like he has mini con ports on his arms so only time will tell.As for Scoop the robot mode looks like it belongs in the 80s cartoon which some may think is a good thing others a bad thing.I really would like to see a Decepticon repaint,then I may consider buying it.Constructacon colours would be perfect an would go well with ROTF MixMaster with G1 colours.
