    This will be my 1st movie Starsceam that I will buy. This doesn't look like a giant Dorito like the previous molds.

    I'll certainly be getting a couple and I agree- his shape seems to be much improved here. Interestingly it looks as if his panel lines have been inked. I wouldn't count on that when we see him hit the shelves here in the states. Labor intensive, though who knows what the new plant in Vietnam is capable of. I would be very interested in seeing what the Japanese version might look like. Especially given how much better Buster Prime looks over the current Leader Prime. Keep your eyes peeled for any preorders on the net and call them out if you see him. The second he pops up on stores here he'll get gobbled up very quickly. Also, the lighting sucks in those pics but I would say he will be lighter than what you see there but maybe a bit darker than Peaugh's reviewed version. CAN'T WAIT TO GRAB STARSCREAM.

    I am officially psyched for this toy now, I was on the fence about leader Starscream at first, but I think I am convinced that I want to get him now.

    The voice chip aint as bad as I thought..

    Im deffo going to snatch this guy once he gets released; even if I have to pay 70$ for him..

    Nothing compared to paying 120$ for a Leader-class in Denmark...

    Oh dear...

    he keeps looking and sounding better and better...

    name your price, Hasbro. I'll throw in a kidney if that helps you get it to me quicker.

    I cannot express my excitement for this figure in words or emoticons or any other way.

    I still hate the way he has to hold his hand. If they rotated
    I'd be drooling, but as is my enthusiasm is pretty tempered. Such a small thing too. Might have to see if I can get a radicon to modify it:)

    Just saw the video. What I took away from was not so much the lights and sounds, but how sturdy the figure seems to be. He definitely looks to be a gem. I'm really psyched for it now.

    To my knowledge, Hasbro has done minor detail washes on figures to bring out detail, such as Alternator Sideswipe (slight wash on details around the upper chest) and Classics Grimlock (dino neck has some blackwash on them), but only one other figure has had a total wash to bring out detail and it was...the WM exclusive Masterpeice Starscream.

    Starscream is Vietnamese. Who knew?

    Man, I can't wait for this as this will most likely be the last ROTF figure I buy. And I can't think of a better way to finish off that run.

    Bring on 'Generations'!

    lots of custom paint on there. all the panel lining is custom. 100% sure.

    if you think it's factory applied, look at the close-up of the "made in vietnam" mark. the panel lining there isnt even touching the edge of the molded lines, meaning it was done with a marker (which cant reach all the way into the corner), not any kind of paint. also, spots like the "made by" and CE mark would be filled in if it was a wash. they arent. hasbro is not paying people to use markers to panel line every starscream.

    I wonder about this too, the lines definitely look more pronounced and the face looks like it has more paint apps.

    Is it just me or does Screamer sound vaguely like Skeletor?

    In any case, this is the movie Starscream toy I have been waiting for. Looking very much forward to it.
