But, isn't he a slimy coward?

Nah, he's more of a badass villain. Like his portrayal in Reign of Starscream was freaking awesome, and prior to the Autobot/Decepticon war, he was a legendary hero.

That was badass.
But when Megatron comes back, he returns to kissing his butt again.
"Lord Megatron! How did you..."
*Bitch slap*
"Shut up Starscream. Get in the kitchen and make me a sandwich."
"Right away sir."
I do like the new mold however.
I think it's an improvement.

Starscream looks a whole lot better than the original one, but I'm still not fond of the wide-shouldered, chicken-legged, bug-eyed design. That jet mode is sexy though, apart from the giant hands sticking out of the back. I guess I'll stick with the G1 repaints for now, as I've fiddled with the parts placement and figured out how to make it look halfway decent at least.
Dune Runner looks pretty good, the blue is a lot less offensive than I thought it would be. Dare I say he actually looks better than Landmine? I think I do. Too bad I already bought Landmine. I might get Dune Runner if I have an extra $10 one of these days.
The other guys don't really interest me so I didn't look at the galleries.

I'm in the same boat. The design of the movie Starscream isn't bad when I'm watching the character in motion but as a toy to display or even play around with, I just can't get behind the design. It's a an alien Dorito.

I'm glad you posted that. I'd been wondering about Dune Runner. I have Landmine, and he is a real standout from the 1st movie toy line. It looks like I get to save a few bucks for a change.

lol, an alien Dorito. Yeah, that sums it up pretty well.

I do like Dune Runner's guns for sure. I was going to say, that and the little lights on his head remind me a lot of Cybertron Scattorshot, even though we're getting an actual ROTF version.

This just makes me not want to get the ROTF Voyager Starscream even more... And I agree that Starscream is pretty badass in Reign of Starscream.
