    So he's number 72... What were 70 and 71? Or are we still waiting on those two to be announced?

    Everybody talking about this being the bayverse/knightverse's last hurrah... I doubt they're ending SS anytime soon, and it's not like they'll make 86 figures for more than a year or maaaybe two
    Let's hope this opens the door to more movies to make figures from! I need me an Animated Red Alert!

    So this was what the hype for another new figure was about....?

    A mold that should've been Starscream in the first place?

    Glad I wasn't too invested in this reveal. Also glad there hasn't been any new Paramount movies released lately. Sure they're still milking the hell out of Bumblebay here but remembering how those Bay days were, it could be worse for some!

    Well..... It might've had my wallets attention if it was (An ER Sunstorm maybe) . But enjoy another crappy looking Paramount figure that looks like it was held over a Cigarette lighter.

    I find it hilarious how people were extremely hyped for this reveal and instantly bummed out because it wasn't their particular niche wanted figure.

    While I agree it has it flaws, I think this was a way better reveal from Australia that we have previously gotten (I kinda remember POTP Inferno and Outback, and maybe Siege Barricade, all repaints and not particularly exciting ones). I think they made the best ouut of those desings, and I am guilty of liking the mess of parts that makes the alt mode. I like the alt node better than the robot mode. It looks alien indeed :D . As has been said the implication here is that BB movie Cybertron Sequence characters are now on the table. I recall there was a lot of demand for that Soundwave and Ravage.

    Anyway, I think the worst thing that happened to this Starscream is that Blitzwing happened first and looks better.

    I'm finding that it looks more cartoonish than Blitzwing, but interesting in design... the yellow and blue parts are off to me, too bright, or lacking in details maybe?

    Too bad that amount of kibble though...the alt mode would have looked much better without so much of it as it is a very interesting take on it... I can't recall if it was like that in the movie, I'll have to go take a look (as I didn't see anyone posting a good set of comparative pictures).

    As a regular non-exclusive Voyager that isn't going to be special-priced, I'll be considering it.

    May eventually pick this up if it goes on discount, not a huge fan of the alt mode (accuracy aside) but I do like the Blitzwing mold so it would be interesting to see the huge changes in hand for two similar looking figures.

    Is there any full list of colors / characters this Starscream designed appeared in / as in the film? I’m not a Movie-series fan, so I haven’t watched Bumblebee.

    according to the wiki:

    Blue/white (based on thundercracker)
    Purple/gray (based on skywarp)
    Green/gray (based on armada thrust, even has a “cone”)
    Teal/white/yellow
    Gray/red

    The undercarriage is not kibble-- it's in fact the fourth wing on the ship design.

    There’s also :
    Orange/White
    Pink-ish red/white
    And in the zoom out shot of deceptions surrounding Optimus, there seems to be quite a lot of variation

    Tetrajets are neat. This particular deco is, uh, quite questionable.

    Anyhow, I would totally buy a multi-pack of Thundercracker, Skywarp, Red Wing, Ion Storm, Acid Storm, Nova Storm, Sand Storm, Hotlink, Spongebob, Goku, Bowser, etc...

    There's a difference between a wing and a robot on its knees

    The undercarriage here at least is attempting to be something, whereas other times (like the Siege figure) it's clearly just a case of running out of room.


    Anyways, I'm far more interested in potential repaints than this particular figure. Blitzwing is already Starscream-esque. Gimme Thrust or Skywarp or Sunstorm. (preferably not Thundercracker, since I got that Nitro Zeus repaint)
