    I leave out the guns. there are kinda too bulky for my taste. I just imagine the null rays are hidden in the arms. :D

    I really enjoyed that he came with the Neutron assault rifle. It was almost half my motivation to get him. I like how his hand swivels backwards to have a better illusion of the arm transforming in the game. Plus, it's my favorite weapon and class in the game.

    I like them. They DO look better in jet mode than in robot mode but, like always, I can swap different weapons from other figures with him. :p  Too bad about the wings thought, if they could move more to the back, I could easily attach 2 more on them. :S

    I have a love/hate relationship with his guns. I love how they look sometimes, and other times I don't.

    This guy has been my favourite figure for a few weeks since I got him. I literally couldn't stop fiddling around with it.

    So yesterday my brother tells me the right knee on his broke like other's have reported and now I'm worried about him. I'm more fragile with him now than I am with Third Party stuff...

    It's really sad, I don't think I've enjoyed a figure this much for years.

    Makes me weary to put out 40 plus for the Takara Skywarp. :(

    U guys who break the legs. Are they tight from the starttk the point where it won't move or is it just tight?
    Mine for example is tight but moves back and forth ok? Was yours like that before it broke?

    Just opened mine, good thing I read this thread and loosen up the screws for the ankles, but one of them still doesn't move even after I've removed the screw.

    It was pretty damn tight. It moved, but required moderate force.

    My brother got his first so I fiddled around with his before getting mine.

    My personal copy isn't as tight. Still a bit tight, but nothing like my brothers. But now everytime I move the knees I hold the sides of the knee hoping it'll move without trying to bring the side of the leg with it.

    I don't know how to remove pins, but I think someone said they weren't removable period.


    My brother's had 3 FOC items break on him, this line does have it's problems. But I can't speak from experience because I only have Screamer and Shockwave.

    On all the ones I got, the legs wouldn't move at all.

    I was able to get the third one to have fully functional - but still very tight - knees. It's definitely the best WfC/FoC figure so far, in my opinion. Once I got past that knee issue.

    2 out of 3 Foc SS I opened are with stiff Knees , just need to exercise a bit more force the first time. As of transformation ..yes it is nothing special, simple and not effortless, the fun factor is that I can transform it in dark or without looking at it. It is a really good FoC/WfC figure ... I did wish if it had a ball joint neck ...
    This is why...

    I'm really scared about Starscream's joint problems, now. Do all of them have this, or is it possible to get lucky?

    The knees on mine are great. The ankles are a little stiff, but nothing bad.

    THIS! ^^ Mine were VERY stiff when I took him out of the package but now that I transform him a couple times, they work like a charm! :D 
    Oh! I am leaving pics of mine. I have to say that I am very happy with it, I like the idea of completing the WfC/FoC figures. And this Starscream is awesome! Sure it could use a balljoint neck and waist articulation but it has plenty articulation already! :D  Plus it has translucent plastic for the cockpit and even a tiny chair and controls!! :D  How sick is that!!! Completely love that little detail! I also like the fact that you can attach an unnecesary amount of weapons on the last toys, for example:FoC Magnus and RID Arcee. I give this Screamer a solid B+! :D  All because those 2 missing joints. REally awesome robot mode and really beautiful cybertronian jet mode! :D  And it goes very well in scale with the rest! ;)
