    I'd buy this for twice the amount if it came with a surplus of null rays. Like at least three pairs.

    I don't have a masterpiece starscream so this would be a good substitute until I do get one. That and it will be my first time getting a custom thing for my figure. So I find kinda cool that its for a deluxe and not that expensive.

    Crown looks stupidly huge (it'd fit on a Firecon's head, and they ARE hydrocephalic), shoulder pads are nothing special, nullrays are totally not needed (original weapons are very close to the G1 look already).

    Easy pass.

    If someone wants cartoon-accurate Starscream/seekers, buy Robot Masters SS, TC, Skywarp. They are the best in that regard.

    Agreed on the crown, shoulder pads aren't bad but not impressive either, the orginal weapons are awful though, they can't even move their arms with out knocking their wings back.

    I've actually taken the weapons for the RM seeker and made them so they fit on the classic seekers, they work much better and are in great scale.

    WTF man? Seems like every day there's a new fan made custom upgrade set on the front page. There's nothing interesting in the news anymore. Just these stupid Igear or Fansproject pieces of crap.

    Hardly any new official Hasbro product hitting the stores. Just a few movie deluxes here & there. It's hard to believe just a couple years ago we had tons of stuff & about 3 or 4 different Transformers lines going at the same time. Now there's nothing interesting happening.

    The pauldrons, guns, and cap are OK, but...

    Just once, I'd like to see a Starscream crown that isn't twice the size of his head.

    Saw this in the customs (or somewhere) a few months ago. I think I said then that the crown was too big, and it is too bad the creator couldn't have scaled it down a bit. I would also like to see some color images. It pains me too, because I love me some upgrades for the Classic lineup, enjoyed the MP crown, and it would give my Universe Starscream a purpose next to my original classics one.

    After studying the pictures over and over and trying to convince myself to buy it, I just can't pull the trigger. The crown just looks too goofy. I actually like everything else quite a bit, but the set just doesn't make sense without the crown. Great idea, sub par execution.

    To the creator, please get us some color pics, cause I really want to be convinced of buying this.

    Pass for three reasons:

    1. I already have a larger version of the crown that came with Cybertron Starscream and he looks cooler.
    2. The shoulder pads are too excessive.
    3. The cloak should have been silk not just cloth.

    Preordered! :rock  I've been wanting to get an MP Starscream with this setup, I'm sure I will at some point still, but I MUST own this. The crown is over sized, but this still looks cool. Maybe the creator will scale it down after they see complaints.

    Crown is gigantic, but then than that I wouldn't mind, since i've been wondering what to do with my Classics screamer anyway.

    Interesting, but the oversized crown looks a little silly. Pass.
