    If his legs are mistransformed in that photo (unlikely) he might be worth a look, looks like he comes with a single missile, which is a bit more show accurate... But yeah, colours are a bit junk. Honestly, not sure why you'd need another (ANOTHER?!) screamer with the FE and Voyager versions being so good...

    Bit of "Bumblebee Syndrome" happening... lot of potential shelfwarming I do predict...

    Not bad, and at least it gives those who missed the first eddition mold a chance to get a Starscream who is better in scale.

    I can't wait to see Beast Hunters Megatron.

    I agree that everyones gonna look the same on the show except Optimus I believe that he may lose that arm and be forced to attach a sword to his arm nub

    He is not going to lose his hand but, yes I agree.

    Personally I think Optimus was the only one who should be redesigned; I felt that he was the weakest design out of the Prime cast, not bad looking just a bit too thin with odd hands.

    "Corhada is dat joo!" would be the first thought that comes to mine with that deco. :lol 

    I dunno he looks rather bow-legged in those shots. Hard to say really how I feel about him from that. Although those new wings do look mighty nice. Possible generic seeker fodder crosses my mind. Probably just pass since I have FE Starscream and I really don't feel a need for another.

    Similar to Wheeljack, Soundwave, and FE Bee, I'm perfectly happy with FE/Voyager Starscreams so the BH redecos are a pass for me. Smokes is a buy and Deluxe Bulkhead may be repurposed as Brawn/Roadbuster though. The Preds are possible buys depending on whether or not they appear in the show (Predaking is a lock). Starscream here just looks.... odd.

    Starscream is one of the most popular characters in the Transformers franchise, both with kids (mostly because cool fighter jet) and older fans (mostly because of his characterization in the '84 TV show). I'm not surprised they're giving him another Deluxe. But I do agree to an extent, they do seem to make too many toys of the insanely popular ones.

    Thats pretty much sums up my feelings about the remolds; I don't see a need in buying the same figure again even if they look pretty cool.

    The exceptions being Optimus and Megatron or if the character's redesigned in the show and its an amazing improvement.

    What the hell is going on at Hasbro? If they have run out of ideas, they can look at all the awesome non-transformers coming out. Coming out in droves, I should say since people have discovered there is a very big demand for TRANSFORMERS THAT WE ACTUALLY WANT!!!

    If you mean third party, I love a lot of them and everything, but "originality" isn't one of their strengths, at least in what amounts to inspiration (99% G1 updates).

    Also you're making the extremely common mistake of taking the TFandom as one joint hivemind where everyone likes and hates the same thing. The only thing we TFans have in common is that we're mostly awful.

    BH is going to fail hard no matter what the white knights say. BH is total crap. that's not an opinion. that's fact.

    Just from a first glance, he looks like a retool of First Edition Starscream.

    Predaking is a "lock".
    Smokes is a "want/lock".
    Other dragons are a "completionist need".
    The rest are a "I want to lock them out of my collection and not even the need for me to be a Completionist matters".

    That looks disgusting. Stubby arms, thick chest, and weird looking legs.

    I'm sticking with the FE as my deluxe Starscream.

    For someone who clearly hates Beast Hunters, you really are putting a lot of effort into keeping updated with each new thread about the line.

    You know what you're doing is called "trolling", right? If that's your goal, then mission accomplished. You're probably at 0% respectability and credibility on the board at this point.

    I guess it's possible you're just desperate for attention.
