    I'd prefer Starscream having no smirk to having a trio of smirking Seekers, though, assuming no remolds are being made for the other two (unfortunately, since their character models did subtly differ from each other in WFC).

    Was finally able to get him from Kapow toys. Just in time for Xmas too.

    I wonder if Dr wu or any other 3rd Party company will make a little crown for him. Hope so. A Starscream figure without a crown isn't a complete Starscream figure.

    Is it bad that I want the company that upsized WFC Prime to get ahold of this guy?

    My biggest issue with this toy is that the "glowing" paint app on the intake vents is the same pink as the Autobots and not purple like the rest of the WFC/FOC Decepticons

    Are we sure it's actually pink & doesn't just seem to be b/c it's painted on a red surface?

    Is this a better toy than the FE Prime Starscream? I need a starscream and only want to by one.

    I was surprised we didn't get this in the WFC line. I'm happy to see we're getting it, and he looks good. I like all the weapon option and Gerwalk mode.

    Same here - still don't understand why we haven't had an Arcee mold yet...

    because Arcee did absolutely nothing in the game itself?

    I just hope that they will do a Ratchet/Ironhide toy as good as this one.

    ...That'd make sense, I've never played either game.

    I love this toy.
    I received this and my Warbot bundle this week.. $15 vs $270 worth of toys, and guess which one I can't put down?
    Hasbro achieved both a great looking figure and an easy to play with toy that satisfies in every way. Nothing over the top here, just a great Transformer done right.
    I'm not one for seeker repaints, but if they release them over here I'm all over it!

    It's pink alright. I got mine from HTS on Saturday. The paint on the intake vents as well as the grey piece that winds up on his back is indeed the same pink as the Autobots and no purple like the other Decepticons.

    After the colossal letdown of Bruticus I am delighted by how great this figure is. The transformation is fun and everything fits snugly and securely. Bot mode is kibble-free and looks amazing, alt mode is trim and actually makes a nice looking jet for something Cybertronian, and the articulation is only one ball-jointed neck away from being perfect. While the paint is still lacking in quantity, the quality of the application is great (I love silver bits).

    Definitely want SW and TT in this mold, but not enough to import the AM versions. Hopefully they'll make their way out in a domestic release.

    Also his gatling guns look really good on Breakdown. :D

    I received Starscream from HTS yesterday, and finally got to open it today. I've gotta say this is a cool little bot. This is the first and only FOC toy other than Shockwave that I've opened and it does not disappoint. I'm definitely going to pick up whatever repaints pop up.
