    We all Scream for Gorilla Scream! Hes the only one who IMO is lacking and one of the baddest Charachters of all time. Maybe he will make up for it in action.

    Happily, I call myself a true transfan ( in the recognized sense of the DM boards :)  ), in agreeing that SS is truly the weakest of the 2007 TF designs. SS a monkey? Nobody who knows G1 is gonna buy that.

    His head's design looks *a little* like the 1984 (I refuse to use the term G1) version's... with the movie's aesthetic, of course.

    He's got the two 'ears' old Screamer used to have on the sides of his head (Unless you count the Marvel comics, then he has two of the *one* ear Screamer used to have on *one* side of his head...) and the two fins on the top. It is pretty vague, but if you look hard enough...

    I buy it. In Voyager and Deluxe classes. I think he's awesome. And I love G1.

    wow ... just wow. That is just plain ugly. And it does not look like Starscream in any way. Perhaps it's a good thing this ... thing does not speak. Ugh.

    Well, looks like the assumption was right, his jets on the back will allow him tofly without being in his alt.

    Here's a question for anyone who wants to indulge my curiosity: Would anyone whom doesn't like this design as Starscream be okay with it being called Jhiaxus? I probably would except this design a lot easier that way -or as any other bulky jet Decepticon- than as one of the sleek Seekers. That's just my opinion, but I'm curious if anyone else feels the same.

    Now that looks like a badass sonofabitch who can lead the decepticons in Megatron's absence.


    And why do people think large = stupid hulk smash?

    I think it's because any robots we've gotten that have a similar appearance kind of have that "Hulk Smash!" kind of attitude. I feel the same way about Brawl too... but Brawl looks better IMPO.

    I meant figuratively, not literally! OK, in context I am happy for you, go buy all the toys, and I'm serious, but for me, this design is an utter insult to the grandeur to the original concept to G1 Starscream. Really.

    Horrible, that might be ok as some mindless grunt Tformer but nothing about that bot says Starscream.

    I like the alt mode, not the Robot mode. He looks like he ate a pitched tent.

    Besides the frog legs, I like it. The head sculpt has grown on me as well. I love just the huge amount of bulk he has, it really make him feel evil. It's not my favorite movie design, that would either be prime, ironhide, or ratchet, but I really am getting to like it. My 2nd favorite decepticon next to blackout.

    No, I know how you meant it. I'm just snarky sometimes. But really, man, I LOVE G1. I grew up with it, and to me, there's nothing more fun than popping on a DVD and being eight years old again. But, objectively, is "grandeur" really the word you want to use for a character that was so shrill and ineffective a warrior as G1 Starscream?

    I mean, this guy looks like he could genuinely be a threat to Megatron's leadership, instead of the barely tolerated gnat that G1 Screamer was. In my opinion, I think this might finally be the Starscream worthy of the G1 concept.

    Looks pretty much the same as the (Voyager) toy, and that's a shame.

    I'm kinda iffy on the design of this one. I think it's mostly the color. Seems a little too warm to be such a cold and maniacal Starscream. Think his steel blue or light gray would have done much better.
