It looks just as fantastic as it did in the in-package and stock photos.
A great toy for the best incarnation of Starscream in this brand's history.

Come on, the most obvious.

Awwww, yiss. Mutha. ******'. Armada Starscream.
I thought I saw what appeared to be the stems of missiles in his back assembly.
Seriously can not wait for this figure. Just hope and pray that a Thundercracker, Skywarp, and maybe even Ramjet will come out of this.

If we do get a Skywarp, pray he has the mouthplate and purple head fin.

And VTOL emplacements on his shin fins.
If they don't even bother to retool him, it's no big loss to me. I'm not particularly partial to Armada Skywarp, less so than Starscream and the toy-bio character of Thundercracker.

If I do get this it will most certainly be the last figure out of this wave that I pick up and I'll be damned if I'm paying full price for it. I really DO want it but at the same time I don't. This blows. I've never been so conflicted over a figure before.

You can wait it out until we get Takara pics. I'm sure they'll have a spiffy (though not necessarily better) deco.
Huzzah expensive alternatives!

The tiny size and terrible plastic colors make me wanna pass this altogether. The horribly stunted plastic-to-dollar ratio on this isn't even worth importing a better paint job. Only thing worthwhile about him is the head sculpt.
I'm still amazed at how they keep rising the price and lowering the size of deluxes, where voyagers can get bigger and the price stays the same.

Heh, kinda pits things in perspective.
But anyway, I am loving this figure. I think it's neat that they put some Powerlinx pegs on him. As far as paint apps go, that's nothin' a few touch-ups won't fix.
I could totally see Hasbro repainting this into Jetfire. Can't say I think it'd work, but with the "boosters" on the alt-mode as such, I could see them attempting it.

I agree. With a little modding, it appears you may be able to remove the orange bits.

Finally. I thought I was alone and losing my mind by reading everyone's comments. Glad to know I'm not. Alone, I mean

This. Absolutely, just this.

Oh good, I thought I was the only one.
To me this looks like the emperor got new clothes, but no one else has noticed he's naked.

which may occur in a botcon set, like they did with the game of deception in 2007
Skywarp: YES!
Starscream: Defenitively YES!!!
Thundercracker: ABSOLU-FUCKU-LUTELY YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

At 1st I liked it, until they got to the comparison pix with the original. It showed just how small and bland the new version really is. I thought about getting it, but now I might pass. The only improvement it has over the original is you can fold down the back. That always bothered me about Armada Starscream. I'll have to wait until I have it in-hand to decide.
