New Images of Animated Starscream

LOOK OUT ITS A DECEPTI-LENO-CON

That's one great looking toy! Skip the show, buy the toys, looks like that's what I'll be doing.

He's a great character in the TV show, but I just don't like the blue on the toy...

Oh well, I'm skipping this line entirely (except for Prowl) because I have barely have a dime to my name anymore...

Sweet looks like im gonna officially add this to my wishlist though I still dont like the look of the nose in jet mode

wow, now that's a proper Gerwalk mode.

it's amazing how almost no robot parts are showing (except when you view it under the fuselage). the jet mode screams pure awesome, and except for the Jay Leno chin (will we ever get tired of this comparison?) the bot mode looks killer too.

Oh hey Lenoscream.

But seriously, I actually like his huge frickin' chin. It makes his face look thin and sleek, which is perfect considering he's a jet, which is thin and sleek by nature.

And this toy just screams "Buy me!'. I seriously cannot live without this toy. The coolness of Starscream is too much to live without.

I'm very glad that I finally got my car paid off. That extra money is now Animated money. I really haven't seen one that I don't like yet.

I already have a replacment head ready and waiting!

Might take some tooling but Energon DreadWing's noggin is going right on there

Also love the pic with him holding Megatrons head.

Behold: Lenoscreame!

{sigh}

When will Hasbro quit with the stooopid mile-long missiles already?

Otherwise, great toy.

The only thing I dislike is wear his arm blasters are. In the show they're on his upper arms. Having them on the lower arms kinda ruins it for me.

CrApnimated toys and design is the worst... they are not even Transfomers AT ALL

Wow, really great lighting and posing in those pics.

That's one highly desirable toy.

HERE COMES THE CRIMSON CHIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But in all seriousness, this figure has good posability, and when I pick it up I'll probably use one of those poses.

Those are some great pictures of Starscream. Really brings out the positives of the Animated line of toys.

Really seems like an action figure that happens to transform rather than a brick that can look like a vehicle and a man.

Will be buying this fo sho.

That is one nice looking Starscream.

I've been tired of it for months. It's nearly as overdone as the Spongebob references.

Needs more chin

When parents stop worrying about their children choking on plastic rods short enough to wedge crosswise in the trachea.

What? You mean I'm not supposed to buy one of these toys and put it in the crib with a 2 year old baby then leave him there while I go watch TV thinking that the toy will keep an eye on my baby? How dare they let me buy a toy that's too young for my kid! I blame the lawyers...

In all however, that Starscream ROCKS. We haven't had that kind of poseability in a common-line Screamer since Energon...I love it

Because a small, hard, spring-loaded projectile is such a good idea in the first place, especially with conveniently-placed triggers guaranteed to accidentally fire the missile while it's being transformed? And the toy is always so far away from the child's face while it's being transformed, doncha know.

I think launchable missiles are a bad idea in the first place, and when you don't have a large enough launcher to mostly conceal the unlaunched missile, then you should probably leave it off completely. Otherwise it just looks dumb.

I'll agree with that somewhat, firing missles are run, sometimes annoying, but fun more often than not.

Still I don't have a problem with the longer rocket, what bothers me is the short guns. Why can't they make a launcher large enough to hold more than just a third of the projectile anymore!?!

The only thing I don't like about him is the gold mouth. WTF? I didn't know Starscream was gangsta.

Yeah, I really wish all that blue was white,
but he's still awesome and I can't wait to get him.
Actually, two of him.

And I dig the orange mouth.

Chinformers! More than meets the eye.

Yeah. I'm just skipping these and the show. I'll save my money for 2.0.

Excellent looking toy. Love the posability!

This guy is just one head sculpt and some purple paint away from a perfect Cyclonus.

That is Bloody Brilliant!

Oooh. He looks fantastic. I promised myself that I'd never buy an Animated figure. Now I just have to promise myself not to buy every single one of 'em.

Looks alot better with the light-piping. I'd almost consider getting him for a change- he actually looks like a pretty menacing decepticon. I've passed out on most Starscreams because he never really looked like a Decepticon to me, but this one is different.

I think one of the best things about animated is their articulation.
cause if some fans don't like the head molds, they can pop it off the balljoint.
Though I like his headmold, it looks very Starscream-like.

Screamers is the only Animated TF I like look wise. He's on my get list, along with Soundwave.

Bingo, exactly what I was thinking. I don't think I'll pose him with the missiles inserted. It'll help ... a little.

If it wasn't for the goofy face, the chin that gives Jay Leno a pause, and the crap-tasticular jet, that would be one fantastic toy.

thats the best set of photos ive seen of starscream and he still sucks/meh/retarded....

I JEST, i hate those ridiculous terms, am i right in thinking they are used by 10-20 year olds these days??

With animated I feel TF toys have got better, i like everything about this toy, the colour works well, very suited to a main decepticon. Remember that SS original colour was simply the default realistic colour from his diaclone original. I feel this colour scheme would be better looking than the grey/blue/red G1 style (it would still work noice) esp as that blue really seems to bring out the 'cuts' in the mould.

If it weren't for the GOOFY faces, the Animated line would be among the best of the TFs lines.

Guess I'll just have to put little bags over their heads.

you could make teeny-weeny paper bags and put it over their heads on bot mode.

despite my previous misgivings about Animated Bumblebee, i think this is shaping up to be one heck of a solid line for us.

can't wait for TFTM to end and Animated to begin. oh yeah.

The toy looks good and i could only imagin the repaints

You're spot on with this figure.

Not only is it very easy to accidenatlly hit the triggers, they fire at the slightest touch.

Oh yes, I agree. If Hasbro doesn't do it, maybe TFC will.

No. Pass.

Damn you for saying that!!!

Now I need a bunch of him!

1 to leave alone as thundercracker, 2 to repaint into Starscream and Skywarp, and one to make "classics" cyclonus.


I'm gonna be Sooooooo broke this year!!!

i still think its awsome, even with the abnoxious face
