My Animated Starscream review.

It looks very similar to the Armada Starscream, which I also liked. I would rather the blue be a shade of white, however.

And when they make sense. I fail to see how this style can possibly be connected with the famous musician Ray Charles. Besides, rhetorically asking who drew them makes little sense when the thread is about a toy.

Don't worry. The actual figure (not this test shot) is a more grey-blue shade.

God I want this guy so bad. Even the chin of doom has grown on me, heh.

Only complaint I really have is the colorscheme. Just doesn't feel like SS when he has TC's colors.

Even still, the figure looks amazing.

I think he meant that he hates the style so much that it looks like a blind person drew them.

Again, I fail to see the purpose in wasting one's time to even go into a thread about something you hate, just to voice your negativity. Apparently, there's nothing better to do.

I have one question: When the frick are we going to be able to buy these!?

I like how you highlighted the articulation and gimmicks on the pictures in your review.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, making fun of a blind man who was an excellent musician is a no-no, and an even bigger no-no if you can't capitalize his name right

I'm loving this Animated line-up, b I wanted to restrict myself to a few main figures, but the designs are so cool, I want all of them!

Very nice toy, and very good review... I wish professional reviewers would go into depth on useful info like articulation points and gimmicks more often. Thanks for sharing!

I share you pain.

I don't know when it stopped, but the blue doesn't bother me anymore. It looks... fitting. Maybe because I subconciously hope that it will return to it's grey/blue colours as last seen, or because I think the dull-grey of the show is unattractive.

I only wish the jet mode resembled the onscreen version more, as well as the robot more. Nonetheless, I doubt it will be fixed, but its still a nice toy regardless. Don't know if anyone noticed this yet, but it does seem like an homage to G1 Starscream's F-15 mode, with the vertical stabilizers with the tips looking similar, just futuristic. Not surprised, since the cartoon network team working on this is comprised of g1 fans. Nice suttle nod.
