    I recieved my test shot FAB Starscream today. I know there is a galery up at tformers, however they have no comparison shots. I will post pics after I get home, if anyone would like to see him posed with a specific bot let me know and I will do my best to accommodate.

    No specific comparisons, but would you be able to show off his poseability? I'm curious to see just how poseable this one actually is.

    I'd also like to see some comparison pics with Classics Screamer, and in both modes. I probably won't get him, but if he looks cool enough, and is the size that i'm thinking he is, I'll get him. I can't wait to see the pics. Peace out.

    Hello all! I had hoped to get this done earlier but things took longer than I expected. I took over 50 shots so I could pair it down to 11 then crop and level them.

    A question was asked about articulation. There aint much here folks.
    The arms rotate up at the shoulder to become paralell with the floor.
    The wings can fold in a little so he can reach across his chest.
    The right arm is spring loaded so it is either straight out or straight down.
    The legs rotate at the hip and at the rear of the knee piece.
    The head rotates, however the transformation leaves him constantly looking down

    *edit* I feel that the poor articulation is a result of the autotransform gimick. This figure was made for kids to be able to change quickly from one mode to the other and in that respect this toy performs its function well. *edit*

    Gimicks - Right arm is spring loaded to snap up.
    On the right arm is a spring loaded double blade weapon.

    On with the pics. I think I got everyones request handled up to the point of typing this up. Enjoy the show.

    Very cool stuff, thanks for sharing and congrats on the pickup :thumb 

    Once painted I think that will end up being a neat little toy.

    I like his proportions better than the Voyager toy-- too bad he's such a brick, apparently.
