Product Description

Starscream, renowned traitor and Deception malcontent, is one of the more out-looking robots of the Voyager Class. Starscreams F-22 Raptor transforms into a bulky apelike robot topped by a bell-shaped semi-insectoid-head. Starscreams thick, blunt arms are equipped with talon-rimmed revolving missile-launcher appendages. Despite Starscreams bizarre and monstrous structural design, he boasts a pretty high level of articulation. The movie version Starscream is described as being as vain and as treacherous as his memorable cartoon incarnation. Plying his secret agenda with various acts of subversion and duplicity, Starscream is prissily disdainful of Megatrons tastes for aggression and direct conflict. Leading a supposed mission to recover the missing Megatron, Starscream yearns to permanently rule the Decepticons, though his attempts to crystallize his position are countermined by the Decepticons, such as Blackout, who remain loyal to Megatron.

From the Manufacturer
Leading the hunt for the AllSpark during the absence of MEGATRON on Earth has given STARSCREAM a taste for command. He has experienced firsthand the brutality that allows MEGATRON to maintain control over his DECEPTICON legions. It is a style of leadership that STARSCREAM takes to with gusto, punishing disobedience without mercy and rewarding success only with a narrowed eye and threatening gesture. He craves ultimate control, and looks forward to the day when MEGATRON makes the mistake that allows STARSCREAM the opportunity to slip a jagged shard of steel between his processor clusters.

Uck. Is what I thought first thing I saw Starscream's robot mode in the movie. WHAT were they thinking, What have they done to my favorite Deceiver? Ultra shoulders and little bird feet, not to mention his head looks more like how Megatron's should have. This in NO way resembles Starscream except for the fact it's disguised mode is a jet. The toy does further damage to his image by not even including HANDS. his hands ARE giant turrets? Where was THAT in the movie? This is just an excuse to incorporate missile launchers somewhere, though even as a 8 year old I'd be annoyed by this, knowing who Starscream is in the comics and TV series. Yea, of course spring-loaded plastic stick shooters are a cool feature in a toy, but SO UGLY here in a figure that already needed all the help it could get. The Launchers make him even more lanky and uneven orangutan-like then in the film, and for this reason he won't stand very well. The movie concept wasn't a horrible design, it just wasn't Starscream, like AT ALL, that's my main problem here.
Basically, a child who just wants a random jet that becomes a robot and shoots stuff, will love this. It is fairly durable, in that most pieces will detach before breaking off. But for collectors like me, we need a more professional figure and so far this is the best offered for Movie Starscream. I suggest Hasbro Make a few more Leader Class Figures, and Transformers 2's Artists do some needed remodeling before Starscream's imminent return.

not bad but needs work
I just got the starscream figure and I am dissapointed with it. first there is too much stuff showing when he is in his F-22 aircraft mode. its to bulky
to look real in aircraft mode. the guns are OK ecxept the guns look really bad in aircraft mode. one of the legs allready easily pops of making him hard to transform. the head can be easily seen in aircraft mode. and theres no jet turbine engines on him in aircraft mode. overall it needs work on the jet mode looking more real and less bulky.

Voyager Class Starscream
This figure could be my favorite of all time, but Hasbro made a huge flaw. The missiles. They shoot out of his hands so easily, and the triggers are so hard to find, that you will probably end up shooting and losing one before you even figure out how to shoot them. I ended up flushing one down the toilet (long story). Also, I have only transformed this figure a matter of times, and already, there is a chip off of him that makes it hard to plug in the front of the jet to his back in robot form. Also, his leg joints are noticeable loose.
Those are all the bad things about this figure. Here are the good things:
He is very true to himself in the movie, and fairly detailed. He is pretty big for a voyager class, and he also has amazing automorph technology in his chest. He is also easy to stand up and pose.
Over all, I recommend this toy, but not for children under the age of about 6. They will break it and loose its missiles.
