Offical Images: Transformers Prime "Beast Hunters" Deluxe Starscream

Where'd ya find these?

Also, lol at Starscream's mistransformed wings. And too bad they didn't attach the missile pods to his arms like in the cross-sell.



But overall,

Should be called Skywarp!

Since when is Skywarp brown and yellow?

As a minor color.

Wow, that is just about as fugly as a figure can get. So glad I got a FE Starscream.

And what is up with the alt mode? I see the shoulders sticking out in the front, and the feet sticking out in the back. Why didn't they just use the FE mold?

Well done, Hasbro. (sarcastic clap)

WOW.

The robot mode looks ok, but that is the single crappiest jet mode I have ever seen. Cybertron Voyager Starscream, you are no longer the record holder.

"and his clenching Thunder Talon gives him the edge he needs in battle"

Once again the robot mode has a huge protruding crotch, wow Hasbro you really nailed it on the bio !

Skywarp is Black and Violet. Not Brown, Yellow, and Lavender.

I want this. This looks kick-ass.

If it were, I would seriously kill someone. Skywarp is the best seeker ever, an insult to the character like THIS atrocity would be unbearable.

This is not bad compared to waaaaaaaay worse sh*t. I wonder if the Takara version will be superior or just the same paint apps all chromed out or something.

After seeing the first blurry pics of him I was like:

I don't want to end up sounding like a glitched voice box, but another easy pass for me.

I'm guessing that you need to have that claw weapon attached in jet mode? As it looks like it forms the undercarriage of the jet. Just horrible in every way.

I thought the BH Soundwave was bad.

This looks worse.

On the plus side the BH line is gonna save me $$$

First time I've heard someone speak ill of that mold.

But yeah, possible mistransformations aside, this thing looks pretty bad, like most of the line so far. Easy pass. It would've turned out better had they based it on the FE mold. But kudos for doing something new.

The robot mode looks pretty good. I'll have to see more of the jet before I judge it. That color scheme however is

He looks... okay. Not the normal "meh" that I normally use on figures I'm passing, but there's something about Starscream that I'm liking here. At least he wasn't the puke green we were first led to believe.

ugliest transformer i have seen. i would buy every movie toy before i bought this.

If the "something new" is an awful paint job on a crappy re-mold of a figure that already had a good mold, they don't deserve any kudos at all.

A simple would have sufficed.

Hmmm...I already have my voyager starscream. I think if this was repainted as someone else it would be killer. He's different enough from the FE and voyager so that he could pass for one of the other seekers (never did like how they were all identicle). Maybe a red and purple and black scheme would make a good terrorsaur.

The first thing that came to my mind when I saw this pic was the Beast Wars Happy Meal Beetle.

Its not the best and its not the worst I've seen.

I've more or less liked most of the figures in BH so far, but this is just ugly as sin. I'll get him anyway because I've got the preorder for his wave in and the set of 4 is cheaper than getting the 3 individuals, but it's gonna have to really impress me in order for me to not sell it.

Starscream lost his cool

This mold would make an awesome Acid Storm.... a set of BH Rainmakers.

No ... just no ... definitely will be passing on that one.

STngAR wrote:The first thing that came to my mind when I saw this pic was the Beast Wars Happy Meal Beetle.

Ha, I did too!

Seems I'm in the group that loves his bot mode. That jet mode is just laughable, and it even further makes me think he's based off Waspinator.

I'll be getting him, but he's never going in jet mode.

Burn wrote:No ... just no ... definitely will be passing on that one.

I have to agree. I have also really liked all of the BH figures so far minus this...thing and Soundwave. The colors are simply too horrendous. I think the biggest fault, color wise, is that brown...yuck! It's the same nasty color as the doo doo brown on Soundwave. I really hope these guys don't look like this on the show.

I was going to get the set of 4 from BBTS to save the hassle of hunting them down individually, but I really don't want this guy. I could try to sell him but I don't think I'll be able to make my money back. Besides, at least here in GA the BH distribution has been amazingly consistent at the TRU's around me. I've seen all of wave 1 several times and at several locations.

This will be the first time I've ever posted this before...I'm passing on this one. I usually just keep that to myself and only comment when I like something, but this really doesn't work for me. I only hope the rest of the Decepticons get better paint jobs or I'll only be picking up the Predacons (assuming the same blunder doesn't befall them as well). Very disapointing.

i had high hopes for the figure but those dreams have been murdered by these pictures.
SHEESH, thats a terrible fig.

And why cant this be skywarp or even thundercracker? starscream changed his colors from the usual white blue and red, so why cant they?(it would be weird but not impossible.)

You can pretend he's whatever you want. The figure will always be Starscream. Also, we already have Prime Skywarp & Thundercracker.

[snip]

Takara already gave us a Smokescreen as well and Hasbro one-upped them. People are allowed to hold out for a different kind of Skywarp or Thundercracker.

Seems like Hasbro isn't being very creative w/ the weapon names. Starscream is the 2nd Con to com w/ a Thunder Talon. The 1st being Soundwave. Different design, different function, so why not a different name?

I wonder how he would look with his older set of colors.

It is a different name. The Thunder Talon was the working name for Soundwave's weapon, but in the end, it was the Talon Grapple Cannon.

Ah money saved...

Seeing as those pictures have him mistransformed I can see myself getting this figure and imagining him as an original Transformer. Just like with the Beast Hunters Bulkhead.

It's not awful because of the mold, necessarily. It might look okay in robot mode if it were properly transformed. It's the incredible clash and mix of colors that make it worthy in my opinion. Brown/bronze, lavender, red, black, yellow..... just such an ugly clash of non-complementary colors.

I get that Hasbro is trying to appeal to the Playskool crowd with all the bright colors in this line, but these colors aren't even complementary. At least Ripclaw's red and green, Soundwave's blue and yellow, etc don't clash. They look silly in some instances (and so do all the spikes and such), but they mesh together. Starscream's colors just do not go together at all.

And that jet mode is absolutely horrible. Looks like a pile of flying parts that look NOTHING like Starscream's jet mode.

Yeah, it's ugly.

But I'm still getting him when I'll see him in store.

Well yeah, there are already 3 molds for this particular iteration of the character, but at least they put the effort into making a new mold instead of remolding an existing one.

I actually don't mind that. I won't go out of my way to find one, but hey, each to their own.

I swear this looks like a fembot

I haven't collected any Prime toys, but the BH series reeks of the end of the line. The original TF G1, GI Joe, Ghostbusters, TMNT, you name it, starts off grounded and relatable but mutates and loses itself with out-there designs and "extreme" color schemes before dying off shortly after.

I don't like the jet mode look but he looks colas a figure

He is not good!

They have two more seasons and in honesty it is a fresh look at the predacons and we might get dinobots next season may have combines you never know

Overloaded wrote:They have two more seasons

All we know is the third season; we don't know about the fourth season yet, considering Jeffrey Combs said season three was the end and then said there was a fourth season not long after.
