Starscream's design was perfect for his quick landings and hit-and-run attacks from the first movie, from the expert landing on the bridge to his badass landing in the streets and the dogfight with the F-22s.

And then he never did anything like that again. In fact he even fails to stick a landing in ROTF, tripping when the Twins and Bumblebee are driving past him.

 

That's a stretch: New figure reveal coming on November 5th Via Ozformers - SS-72 Starscream (Bumblebee)

Edit: It's close, but the part that people have complaints about, the bottom wing, is still off from its intended look. The vents near the cockpit seem to be missing too. I personally think it's fine for what it is, but I wouldn't say it's "near spot-on".

 

its fairly accurate to the movie, as has been stated

 

It's fairly accurate to the movie if you can't tell the difference between this:

and this:

That undercarriage "wing" is completely disproportionate and really throws off the look of the alt mode for my eyes.

 

Has SS72 Starscream hit retail?

 

Well, no, but actually yes

Honestly, distribution's kinda all over the place right now. Some people are seeing Kingdom wave 2 stuff in stores right now, others haven't even seen wave 1. Imo, the best way to get figures right now might be to order them, which is something I never thought I'd say
