    No need to get snarky man. I didn't say it was dead-on accurate perfection. I said it's consistent with the cartoon colors - which it is.

    Look again - the cartoon version is indeed clearly colored BLUEish/grey. The toy is colored more prominantly blueish/purple, but it's still obviously Starscream, not someone like Thundercracker. Also remember that this is a test shot, so the colors could still get adjusted to a more "perfect" shade by the time the final product comes out. But even if they don't adjust the colors, most people wouldn't even notice since it's such a subtle difference - especially dependent on the lighting - as even indicated in the pics posted in this thread.

    He looks amazing and I can't wait!

    I have two minor complaints though;

    1. That nose cone in jet mode. Bugs me, but It'll grow on me =)

    2. The jay leno chin. And the only reason that bothers me is because I wish animated molds could fit in with Armada, Energon, Cybertron and Classics. On my shelf they're all one line. Up to date with the most recent characters (ie; I have CD Hot Shot instead of Arm. Or Ener.)

    But again, not too big of a deal, I can start a new shelf for this line =)

    Almost perfect. A must-have for me. I too want to know what the forearm thing is, though.

    Hmm light piping to the mouth might have just sealed the deal for me.

    Also his brilliant G1 style voice in the cartoon made me happy happy happy.

    I'm sure some people are wondering about this.

    How's the stability with the legs?
    I want to know if people were right about his legs being too skinny.
    Although by those cool poses I'm assuming it is a non-issue.

    Figure looks better every time I see it.

    Like the gimmick on the arms and the face on the missiles. Also really dig the posability and the sculpt is DEAD ON as it is with most of these Animated Toys.

    Thanks for the pics.

    Looks like it might be a good transformer, but Starscream is one example, for me, of where the animated style detracts from the toy's appearance.

    This toy is perfect. It will have a place of honor on my wall of Starscreams and Primes. Unlike others here, I LOVE the look of Starscream in the new cartoon. The face, the attitude, everything is AWESOME. The toy duplicates that perfectly. My biggest fault with many Transformers toys is the lack of expression on the faces (usually only Megatrons ever had an emotional face - a grimmace).
