    You're right, shoulder and below the elbow but no bicep swivel.

    He does, but no wrist swivel, which I'd argue is more important for expressive posing.

    It looks like whatever joints are there, the net result is the same as a bicep swivel. I think.
    At least he has wrist swivels this time? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    That was a big thing for so many otherwise awesome figures in the rotf days. It killed soooo much posability to have the gorilla arm curl pose stuck like that!

    Was great for posing Starscream in the arm shrug "what'd I do this time" pose and have Leader ROTF Megatron aiming at him.

    Oh yeah, I remember the wrists. I hated them so much I replaced them with ball joints from a spare deluxe Ravage...

    Yeah, I'm going to have to separate the Decepticons and Autobots now... it was bound to happen eventually!

    I'm so glad there are people that can figure out how to say these things way better then I could. I love how much Starscream's movements match with his weird body. Megatron has gotten some great transformations from this too.

    Sweet, I wasn't sure how big he was going to be. I love how huge Megatron is and it's great that Starscream is going to be big as well.

    Yep, really my only problem with an otherwise great figure.

    I just finished painting my hftd leader starscream the other day, but when I was researching ideas on what to do with his wrists I found your thread from way back then! It's a great idea, I may have to do it sometime.

    Looks like an inch taller than Prime based on his height next to Megs.
