Yeah, I've thought this for awhile. Especially since they came out with the Legends class versions. One day ... maybe in Classics 3.0.
I updated the story to include Safeguard. Thanks for posting this update.
Working on getting Roadbuster and Dirge up next. Should be up tomorrow or Saturday.

I also moved all of the Classics 2.0 galleries to the correct series. Most of them were previously listed under the first Classics series instead prior to tonight.

While that is a mighty fine deco on Screamer, it just ain't Starscream. I consider myself pretty lucky to have picked up Galaxy Force Starscream. It obviously makes a great Cybertron Thrust, of course.
That's a pretty decent deco on VP too, though it might do with a few more paint apps.

EDIT: Just reviewed my collection, and I have Cybertron Scattorshot and Brushguard.

He hit my local TRU for the first time about a month ago, along with Inferno. I got Inferno in the summer, thanks to a work purchase that had a damaged box! I picked up VP or The Last Autobot, as I think of this deco, when I saw them at TRU a while back. I think Exton TRU still has one of each, come to think of it.

Also, whats up with the insecticons ??? I went to Toys r Us last week with a printout from their website. The manager looked into the computer and told me they have not been released yet...

(I do not read comic books) They should have just released him as Alpha Trion like the mold was originally designed for. Im sure there is enough leftover pink and purple paint from the girls toy section of the Hasbro factory to make this happen. When was this red Starscream released ? The last Toys R Us Cybertron Starscream was too big and cost 50 bucks so I passed it up. When was this released and is it available now in stores ???
Here's a little refresher course, wait, make that two courses:
- Vector Prime was a major player in the Cybertron series, as a guardian of time and space during Primus' slumber. The Universe series pays tribute to all series mind you, not just G1 and G2. He was already repainted and retooled into Alpha Trion for BotCon 2007, check the Gallery . One last thing: check the Marvel comics again, Vector Prime's basic mold is an homage to The Last Autobot.
- The Supreme Starscream was basic retail. The Toys 'R Us exclusive Voyager Starscream with the colors inverted was available during the Cybertron line (see the packaging).

Oh I see. I had seen the Alpha Trion Gallery browsing and thought it was the original design for the mold. I was wondering where was his musatache and beard. I never had a chance to explore the Cybertron line because when I started collecting after the first movie, most of this line was not in stores except a few scout class figures from the now closed Kay-Bee. I wish I had known about the red Starscream whenn it was out cause I did by the Target exclusives Dirge/Roadbuster set which I thought was designed for the classics Universe series. Thanks for letting me know about Vector, I buy many figures that I know little about just because I think they look cool

I could never get these, because my Target never had them! I is sad!
