I scream, you scream, we all scream for Starscream!
Hasbro has come out with many great flavors of the treacherous Decepticon lieutenant over the years – from the original Generation 1 version, ghostly undead Energon Starscream, ambitious beyond all measure Cybertron Starscream, all the way through to the more recent interpretations on the classic like Animated Starscream and Movie Starscream. Today though, we are looking at the newest incarnation of Starscream, from Transformers Prime.
The first Transformers Prime Starscream was the awesome deluxe class First Edition toy – a lithe, slender Decepticon who folds up in a very satisfying way to form a cool fighter jet. There are to date three versions of this toy, and would you believe we have galleries of all three for your enjoyment?
From thedrknss48 we have a look at Hasbro’s First Edition Prime Starscream. The slightly altered Takara Tomy First Edition Prime Starscream is brought to you by SydneyY. Lastly there is the recent Ultimate Opponents Starscream, which we focused earlier this week.
Check out all three versions of Transformers Prime’s Starscream by opening the links below!

Loving the FE Hasbro Starscream. Got him chilling on my shelf as we speak. Have him standing next to voyager Megatron, arms outward as if presenting him. Couple commander class vehicon minions standing in front, soundwave on the other side of megatron. As my FE Starscream says, ALL HAIL MEGATRON!
LOL, I love this series and toyline! Best we've had since the 80s.

Hopefully the upcoming voyager Starscream, ends up looking this good.

Possibly the second easiest to find FE mold after BB.
Some of you have been slacking.
Seriously? Never.

Gotta love those light up gimmicks…

Such an excellent figure.
As far as I know, just the Voyager – and the Cyberverse Commander, whose weapons work well with this Deluxe.

Does anyone know if another deluxe Starscream is planning to be released, or just the voyager?

Minor mistransformation on the robot mode pics – his leg fins aren't pulled out.

I'm pretty sure we've seen the Voyager – if it's the one I'm thinking of, it does look damn good, but does have the seethru/lightup plastic gimmick on the arms like Prime & Megatron, IIRC. Personally, that spoils it for me; but I'm assuming we'll get a version further down the line that's either got painted parts or those parts moulded in solid colour.
Can't remember what the articulation was like, mind (full ankle/wrist/waist articulation being another issue for me).

He's a really nice figure. It's a shame they're not selling it at retail stores any more. I hope the voyager is just as good or better.

The FE Starscream mold is wonderful. Loved my original FE, and very glad I decided to spring for the Ultimate Opponents Pack with the Dark Energon color scheme.
Love the pictures.

We've got more Prime love for you now, courtesy of Photo Staffers SydneyY and thedrknss48. I'm in a Prime mood for some Starscream!
(sorry, lame pun. I promise not to do it again)
First Edition Starscream is a pretty nifty little toy – lithe and slender in robot mode, and yet somehow that slender robot mode forms up into a convincing jet fighter mode! He's a little slice of awesome Transformers engineering right there
We've got galleries now for all three versions of this mold – Hasbro and Takara Tomy's First Editions, along with the Ultimate Opponents two pack recolour. Check them out by opening those links below:
