Neither. I think all the TFP Starscream & TFP Megatron toys have awful designs. with super ugly robot head sculpts.
Can you honestly say the FE has a better face than the RiD? The FE's face looks like an Animated version of TFP Screamer. No matter what anyone says, I still think the RiD is better.
I'd say that the whole issue skirts around the obvious problem, that being that the figures around the two Starscream toys just don't scale well with either toy, or really even with each other. It's difficult to judge which Starscream is truly better without noting that guys like Megatron, Dreadwing, and Soundwave are too small in relation to the Voyager version. And it's not that FE Starscream is too small, it's that Arcee is too big, etc etc. All lines have this problem, and I think it's due to the different size classes not being utilized with scale as a priority over things like character popularity. I won't argue whether that's a good thing or not, but I will say that "Weaponizer" scale would obviously produce the best Insecticon and Megatron for scaling, and in doing so set the bar for Voyager to work best for guys like Bulkhead, Starscream, Prime, Airachnid, and Soundwave; and Scout-class is where we should be getting guys like Arcee, and any other smaller-scale bots that Hasbro might like to cook up. Basically, Starscream, either Starscream, can't be properly scaled when there's no existing, consistent rubric to measure by. Personally, I prefer larger Decepticons, even if, as with this line, I have no plans to display the toys. That, and the rarity/expense of the FE version, prompts me to back the Voyager version.
I can't vote as I don't have Voyager Starscream. I love FE Starscream mould dearly, but want to get Voyager as well....anyone has a picture of them side by side?
I think that the voyager is a good figure, but the FE is the better of the two. The voyagers leg kibble is the thing I don't like the most of it.
Both. I display FE SS with the rest of the main TFP lineup (Deluxe/Voyagers). Powerizer SS I display by himself fighting against FE Arcee since the scales of those two go well with each other but not with any of the rest of the line. Plus Starscream and Arcee are my favorite characters in the show so I don't mind owning various incarnations of their toys.
Personally I enjoy both of them. They each have their own faults that their counterpart does better on, along with scaling to a different set of characters (FE: Voyager Megatron and Deluxe Soundwave, RID: The deluxe Autobot & Decepticon cars though admittedly, you can get away with using the FE for either one of them).
You know the only thing that kills it for the RID version? The idiot powerized weapon. Toss that away, and you've gotten a pretty stinking awesome figure. However, with that being said, the FE version is just plain fantastic. Both are missing some paint apps, and both have almost the same size in alt mode, but the FE version is excellent for size against the other figures that have been released.
How am I supposed to vote in this poll without owning both? I have RiD (Voyager) and Cyberverse Commander Starscream. I love em both.
I like them both, to be honest. They both pull off Prime Starscream very well, IMO - though I'd say the FE has a superior alt-mode.
Though I do like the Voyager, the FE deluxe has so much more personality in its face sculpt for me, so that wins out for me.
FE. Scale is best of the two, and that ******ed mechtech thing is reason alone not to buy the RiD version.
I prefer the FE. I saw the voyager at my walmart an passed. It had some really cool detailing but not enough to justify the purchase. Also , the whole scale thing also came to mind.
