Now that's more like it! -----^

My biggest problem with the head as it stands currently is the lack of feminity to the face. Even the TFA Slipstream had more of a 'girl' look to the face, but this one just doesn't.

Then you obviously don't get around the internet much! :-) And frankly the discussion is entirely valid. This toy is going to be major dollars and if fans are being expected to pay hard earned money for a fail toy (one they will have subbed into w/out the ability to bypass this figure), then feedback is important. If nothing else perhaps future toys can be improved so that this type of thing doesn't happen again.

As others have already noted, no, she's not in the Prime series. She does however, make an appearance in WFC, so she technically does exist in the Prime universe though.

Honestly, I know some people aren't sold on it, but personally, I like it.
She's probably one of the only TCC figures I've ever seen that I'd actually want. And true, the mold doesn't entirely work, but outside of creating an entirely new mold, this was probably the best choice to make in getting this character a figure.

Plus, I've been kinda obsessed with building up my Decepticon collection anyway, especially in regards to Prime-verse versions of characters.

God I'm so glad I did not Pre-Order it from BBTS. That head looks UGLY! It dose not look like a female head. What happened? The original pictures had so much promises.
I might buy a Takara Skywarp and replace its head with an arcee and repaint it.

And she has a good sized role in the Exiles novel, which is also part of Aligned.

-ZacWilliam, not that that matters much to me. I quite like the toy and am planning on using her as a G1 Slipstream.

I'd be curious if mixing parts of either Arcee Mold, or even Airachnid could still allow for FE Scream to transform. The feet and thinness of the figure make it somewhat effeminate, but when you compare it to actual fembots like Arcee and Airachnid, well, it's still definitely a male form.

The problem for me isn't the Starscream mold. It looks fine for a fembot. My problem is exactly with the only thing that was build for THIS character: the head.

Maybe it looks better when I have Slipstream in my hands. But the pictures looks really bad.

If she was a standard release I wouldn't be complaining about her, but for 100.00 I would have liked better.

She's not $100 unless you buy it from a reseller like bbts.
