    Loving Ripclaw. Might get Scream if he's on sale or something.

    Looks like the only two from BH is Ripclaw and Smokescreen...

    Yeah, I want to wait on some first-hand reviews on Starscream. It's rare that I don't like any of his figures, but after FE this one is quite the letdown :/

    I kind of like starscream. can understand why others don't like it though for reasons mentioned

    He looks a little more armored now and I really dig the aerial antennae.

    Though I think its designed so you can mount the bombs/missiles on the capture claw. going to try that.

    I kind of like that the obnoxious accent colors they went for on starscream. I see it as some amalgamated gear over the previous starscream's grey armor that is not quite designed for him specificly, but he really needs an edge in the the beast hunters series where everybody is getting frighteningly powerful.

    Ripclaw is pretty sleek even if it does parts form the tail weapon. On toys that do that I don't even realize I'm parts forming so long as its for weapons. It's just handing a robot a gun (that was part of its alt mode).

    Does anyone else think Airachnid has competition for worst Prime figure?

    Starscream is really... huh.

    Not even close IMO. At least this one has usable articulation. (articulation is pretty important to me however, if someone has different priorities maybe they are closer in other aspects)

    Come on, let's not get carried away here. He's bad, but he's not THAT bad.

    I doubt Hasbro will ever throw out something that inherently bad again. Not unless they literally gave up and designed a deluxe sized figure with the same level of transformation of those Armada Happy Meal toys.

    That deco does look a heck of a lot more appealing to me. Although I'm kind of more inclined to a Laserbeak/Hydra deco for this mold. Ah hell who am I kidding if either deco was utilized I'd buy it in a heartbeat. :lol

    I would buy that in a heartbeat.

    Also, another repaint of the mold I would buy in a heartbeat (that will never happen because of the stupid collector's club one an it's ugly head and horrible use of silver/grey on the thighs and arms and hands)

    I'd be into this more if the head was more like the TFCC version.

    But I'd still buy this. :D

    It's the deco. it doesn't look too bad aside from the deco. I'm sure if he's done as either Thundercracker, Skywarp, Swoop or Metalhawk he'll look great.

    Starscream looks like the joints in his arms and legs might actually do something, so no.

    Ripclaw actually looks really, really cool. I actually want to wait and see if they release the mold as Ser-Ket first, but I'd definitely get it.

    And Starscream... he looks better than expected. I can actually see an attempt to include some of the WFC/FOC look to his design in robot mode (at least that's what I'm seeing). But... aside from not aiming to get any of the "Beast" redesigns, since I doubt if all (or any) of them will be appearing in the show, as well as qualms about how they look, he's way too tiny for me to want him.
