    Yes! I was afraid I was just becoming a bitter old man, but who has time or can even watch those at work?

    The head looks just like Prime SS without the fin and smirking. Not very impressive.

    The Beast Hunters SS in hindsight would have worked with some modifications and a better headsculpt.

    ah...why do you even transform her hunchbacked?
    i mean first edition starscream actually can be transformed in a more natural way
    that works better for a female

    I'm sorry I missed the part where Vangelous, Peaugh, Optibotimus, and the like held guns to your heads and forced you to watch.

    I understand that the head needs to be skinny for TE mold but I'm not feeling it.

    Good review, but as many have stated, it's not nearly feminine enough as far as the head sculpt goes. I was mildly interested in the figure, but now I'm not interested at all. Thanks for all the pictures.

    Those animated molds are so unique. So glad this figure doesn't fit IMHO. BTW, fine job on the "youtube whore" comment. I personally love not having a personality.

    I love this figure! I want this figure! I probably won't be able to afford this figure.

    Thanks to the direction this hobby is going in, every figure I like is close to $100. While Hasbro releases all the crappy looking, low quality shit to regular retail. I miss the days when there was retail & nothing else, not 50 million over-priced exclusives. I can't continue to collect if majority of the stuff released are exclusives & imports. We're getting nothing but constant exclusives lately & it's getting ridiculous! There ain't shit in regular retail anymore, a Springer here, a Sandstorm there with months of nothing in between.

    Could do with some teal or purple on the lips to give it a more feminine look. Agreed that the Starscream mold needs to be posed/transformed a bit less with the hunchback appearance. But the flat chest and large shoulderpads do make it difficult to get Slipstream's silhouette across. Need more pictures with these addressed first before I'll pick her up.

    some part of me like this figure because she is slipstream, other part of me hated this figure because for a female starstream, she doesnt look very female... also the hunchback... why dont they fix that... but again, i suppose it created an illusion of having a hourglass female figure..

    Eh. Glad I decided to prune the pre-order for this one. I'm not missing out on much it seems.

    Could you be any creepier right now? Not to mention how your comment makes zero sense. Starscream looks like a transvestite because he looks feminine, but Slipstream looks like a transvestite because she looks too manly? Wut?

    Honestly, thank you for the review.

    That head sculpt and some of those comparison pictures are enough for me to cancel my pre-order. For that price I was expecting better and nowadays I'd rather spend that kind of money on Metroplex rather then a figure that sort of fits what I was looking for.

    Unlike several people here I suspect, I wasn't looking for a Slipstream to fit on the Animated shelf, but one to fit on the WFC/FOC shelf. While it does evoke Slipstream, it's not enough, especially at that price.

    That and the final headsculpt there really turns me off.
