There have been reports of the fins on his ankles being discolored though my copy does not have this issue. Let's knock this out before I dig into the reobot mode review: this figure is not a simple "upsized" version of Classics Starscream. Screamer here gets 4 stars, as he falls a little short of the excellent Siege version in terms of articulation.

The toy's bio makes a rare fictional reference to Machine Wars, describing the events of the series in the past tense.For some reason, they had his toes transform into the afterburners, instead of having the usual jet-engine heel. He transforms from a robot into a jet fighter, and includes a missile launcher and four limb-mounted weapons, two guns based on the traditional Seeker arm rifles, and the infamous crown based on the equally infamous coronation scene from The Transformers: The Movie, which fits around his head. Every joint is pinned…which might make doing customs of this guy a pain in the arse, but in that case it’s a good thing I have the artistic ability of a blind man in a blacked-out basement at 1 am. Still a great toy, but being based on a 15 year old deluxe, his flat, gappy torso, weird crotch flap, and lack of waist and wrist swivel lose him. He comes with two null-rays that can either be pegged onto his upper arms, in his fists, or under his jet mode wings.

The wings and vertical fins have red and white stripes on them and each wing features a Decepticon symbol.Part of the first wave of Kre-O sets, Starscream can be built in either robot or red, white, and blue G1-inspired fighter jet. The first transformable Starscream toy not to turn into a jet, Alternity Starscream transforms into a licensed 1:32 scale Mitsuoka Orochi. figure), shiny metallic blue paint on most of his blue plastic, an amber cockpit, and shiny metallic red paint on his torso. During the second Q-Transformers series, the Starscream toy was available in a three-pack alongside Skywarp and Thundercracker.
