Not as smooth on the underside as people from BotCon have hyped him to be. Still cool.

 

No matter how hard Hasbro tries, some people will still complain... I'd recommend them to try building air craft models in order to satisfy their urge for super-realistic jet mode.

I myself love the thing. It's a bit fat from the side, but otherwise beautiful. Still better than both movie voyager SS. Will get this as soon as it shows up on ebay for a reasonable price.

 

Plus, 70% of us will keep it in robot mode and forget the vehicle exists anyway, and in the occasions that we keep it in jet mode we probably won't leave it upside down, so what's the problem?

 

I wanted something that just looked good in robot mode, I'd buy Robot Replicas. For £45, I expect better.

 

Yeah, I was hoping that jet mode would be an awesome display. This one isn't bad, just a little fat. He'll be in robot mode for most the time for me.

One question on the next Hasbro Q&A has to be about the use of brown/gray, I'm not a fan.

 

by ass you must mean kickass.

(I will not stand for a single word said against the ROTF voyager.)

 

Large vehicle mode is large. Also, his missile launcher definitely is removable. Not a huge deal. I'll still be buying this the moment I see it.

 

I'm satisfied. I'll take it.

 

Cha-yowza!

I am actually beginning to fall in with this line.  

 

So I'm satisfied.

Hell, when you own the Original Voyager Starscream you're pretty much satisfied with anything that looks remotely like a jet.

"Wah wah wah Hasbro dropped the ball..." Not in my case. They made a great looking bot with a great looking Jet mode- love the tattoos, etc- and I'll sure as hell have a good time playing with it.

 

If we renamed the toy Optimus Prime, would you buy it?

 

But... you said you wanted something that looked good...

 

I just realized something. I'm kinda surprised we are already seeing a colored sample, already. I thought that this would not be showing up until the second half of 2010, or at least the middle of said year.

 

Am I the only one who finds a thread titled "Leader SS" questionable?

 

Looks pretty nice to me.

But of course I know little to nothing about jets, so I wouldn't be as picky as some.

 

More or less. I can see what you're getting at, but it's pretty obvious they mean "LEADER CLASS STARSCREAM".

 

Very impressive. A metallic finish would have made this guy an over-the-top win.

 

Actually that looks good. From above it's a perfect F-22, and from the sides, even though it's bulky, it hides it well.


Can't wait to see more bot mode pictures. This is looking to be a deffinate buy on site.

 

This, it's posted in the context of a transformers news form, I certainly assumed it meant leader starscream.
