About this deal

This mold was also used, with slightly retooled facial expressions, for Q-Transformers Thundercracker and Skywarp, and given a whole new head for Jetfire. However, he does come with the stand from previous Masterpiece Seekers and two racks of missiles that can peg onto the bottom of his wings in place of the null-rays. He is armed with both his traditional null-ray rifles, but his familiar cluster bombs are replaced with a rack of (slightly inaccurate) Sidewinder missiles.

This mold was redecoed into Alt-Modes Skywarp, Thundercracker, Acid Storm and Sunstorm, and would have been retooled into Dirge. On the section under the chest thare are small vent like details that look like designs on G1 Starscream's stickers. He also comes with a 2-piece stand with an adaptable arm, a purple redeco of the one that came with Dinobot, plus a specific cradle adapter to attach Starscream in Gerwalk mode to the stand. The panels on the top of his chest leave a slight gap I'm not crazy about and I do wish there was a way the nosecone could have been hidden away better.Starscream is known to have come with either pale grey missiles, better fitting his new color scheme, or bright green missiles like Skyquake's. Of course, being a Hero Mashers piece, it can be attached anywhere, including being hand-held, and the wings have multiple gun barrels on them, so have a blast.

Alt-Modes Starscream is a super deformed toy whose body transforms into a jet when the Decepticon faction symbol on his head is flipped. This mode mostly shows off the light grey plastic and it gives us a really good look at the translucent orange plastic used for the cockpit cover. Thanks to the fine folks over at Kapow Toys I got to take a bunch of pictures of Starscream and create a gallery which you can find below. This edition of the figure featured no extra accessories, with its notable change from past versions being the body color being more of a whiteish grey color instead of the metallic grey of the original 1984 version, a pale yellow window instead of dark gray, and the inclusion of tampographed Decepticon insignias on its wings and nosecone, rather than stickers (similar to the Transformers Collection reissue before it but not flipped like the animation and metallic purple and silver instead of glossy purple and white). The first reissue of the original Starscream toy in North America since the Generation 1 toyline reached its end, this " Commemorative Series" edition of the figure was a Toys"R"Us exclusive.Prior to this appearance, it was suggested that both this toy and the SCF Skywarp were not officially released, due to the bankruptcy of Generations publisher Keibunsha.

The first Universe toy of Starscream is a redeco of Cybertron Legends Thundercracker, transforming into an Su-37 fighter jet. Weapons are the classic Null Rays and can be mounted on the shoulder, under the forearm, in the hands and under the wings.

A special edition Bearbrick released in celebration of the Transformers 30th anniversary, Starscream is a retool of the Bearbrick Optimus Prime/ Megatron mold with a new chest and head, transforming from a Bearbrick painted up like himself to a bear-eared robot. Those who purchased Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker could snip off a box flap of each figure, mail them in and receive the Coronation set for free. If you have any concerns or questions please contact our Consumer Care department at https://consumercare. More pictures followed from a different source a month later, but after that, this strange little redeco quietly vanished, never released, and never even officially acknowledged by TakaraTomy. The tip of each weapon can accommodate Blast Effects that are packaged with some Siege and Earthrise figures.

Stand compatible in both modes, although the peg hole is under the front skirt armor in jet mode, and I imagine it might tilt if not resting on more of . According the Toy Fair 1995 Transformers presentation, the toy's missiles are intended to glow in the dark.Oddly, as the years have gone along, some Starscream figures ignored these designs, choosing to create alternate weapons instead ( Fall of Cybertron Starscream being one dramatic example). Unlike the recent Masterpiece toys, the Earthrise line still has plenty of sculpting to give the robots are more robotic / mechanical look. He includes two "HPI Null-Ray Laser Launchers," which can mount on his upper arms or under the wings in jet mode (or in any other 5 mm port, really).
