    Bot mode looks awful. Armada Screamer has less red. Easy pass.

    Although I know what the auction says, do we actually know this is Starscream for certain? Although the Prime repaint seems to be regarded as Ultra Magnus (thanks to the paint scheme), is that even officially Magnus?

    Bleh. Looks like the same Megatron head with the infamous "red defacement blob of terror" know to plague testshots.


    Starscream with a Megatron head is not acceptable. And it's ugly.

    Since its a test shot, it has a paint streak purposefully painted accross his face. And as a test shot, it's completely possible that the Megatron head is just a placeholder for the real Starscream head mold.

    This doens't look much like starscream to me. It looks like a repainted megatron - so perhaps it's Galvatron?

    I like the shoe mode, but the robot has too much red for my tastes. I'll stick with them just robbing me blind with the Magnus repaint. XD

    Same company surely? Same resources? Same R&D costs? Sure, they didn't stop BT's to sell these as such but they did stop an fantastic line and they're now bringing us a turgid line.

    Not that I said the events were related anyway - take them as two separate facts.

    cold. hard. facts.

    Without a new head I see this as another Megatron. If we get confirmation from Tom/Tak that this is Starscream (after all the Magnus repaint isn't even Magnus) and they give him a new head I'll get one from retail. Untill then I'll be passing on this.

    Cant say I'm impressed. I like the colors, but the robot mode would need some remolding if I were to purchase it.

    Wow, it's just a straight repaint of Megatron? I can understand a repaint of Prime as Magnus, but I'm going to be really disappointed if this turns out to be Starscream without any remolding.

    EDIT: And God forbid if Hasbro ever finds out. Ever Megatron from then on will be repainted in to Starscream.
