Reviews - Armada Starscream w/ Swindle
Didn't know what to think of Starscream at first, but when I heard that his seeker buddies Thundercracker and Skywarp are coming out, I knew I had to get the set. I am a big fan of G1 jet robots (except for Quickswitch, who is really a brick.)
I love the Laser cannon and mini con
starscream is brilliant great homage to G1 starscream, from the color scheme to the evil smirk, yet still keeping that armada feel to it, more posibilty would be cooler, but sword is cool too, just wish both wings did it.
another great armada figure. would have got a 10 if he was more posable, and if his cannons stayed down. his minicon could be way more posable as well it gets a 2
Starscream is, well, acualy posable(something that has been missing in Armada). Kept from getting a 10 because the hands are small and the holes are big. He gets stress marks when he holds the star saber or something. very worth the money
Not a bad attempt to replicate the simpicity of the original Starscream, but not a great one either. Without the gimmicks, Starscream could have been better designed transformation wise. Non-sensical choice in mini-con.
This toy COULD be great, but it's just average. The face sculpt is wonderful, but the missles didn't stay down due to a bad mold (I removed the springs on mine), and that articulation is poor. It isn't a BAD toy, but it should have been better.
Figure looks good in both modes, however... "sword" doesn'r look very "sword-like". His missle launchers don't always stay down. Lack of movement makes for very stiff playtime. Still a pretty cool TF. Worth the $
Limited play value (little poseability, few Mini-Cons slots) and clumsy, blocky design. Probably the best Starscream toy ever, but that not saying much. For nostalgics or fans of the character only.
Pretty good all around. Stress marks don't bother me. Swindle is lacking, but Starscream himself makes up for it.
I'm glad they reintroduced Starscream into Armada...props to Dreamwave,Takara & Hasbro. He seems too big to actually fly as a real jet if that were ever possible, but swindle is cool & so are his powerlink laser cannons....yet another keeper!

I can't wait to see myself and Skywarp reunite with Starscream. We'll turn those 'bots into rubble!
Pretty Good. Preety Possible, doesn't look too bad, but he does have some problems:1 Swindle is rubbish, 2 the sword doesn't look good and 3 he doesn't look great with the gun holder just sticking out the back
I'm a big fan of Starscream, and depite the sword/hand problems, he's brilliant. Nuff said.
Oddly, this head looks more like Starscream from the G1 cartoon than any G1 Starscream toy. Overall, an excellant figure as well as vehicle, and the second best armada toy I have of yet, lacking just Smokescreen and Jetfire.
the wing is not stable enough and the mini is worthless, but the rest of star scream would make him a steel if you could get him for less than $15.00, If you can, pick it up.
Far, far too expensive a toy for what you get. Only one sword when two would have been so easy, too few Powerlinx ports. That said, it is a good sculpt and the transformation is simple, yet effective. Great looking robot mode head.
i wish that the toy had 2 swords instead of 1. i use minicon as a shield in robot. they could have had the giant thing in back fold down. plane nose needs to be straight overall great toy
One of the first armadas I got. Not super posibility . The sword is a good idea but it constanly falls off for me. Its face is great!The colors are good . In all of the transformer lines it's ok but for armada it is the best figure so far.
The only problem this figure has, is its lack of possability,but hey, this figure is great coz its......STARSCREAM!!!!!!
Not too bad looking robot mode, but unposable, with lots of inappropriate kibble. Needed a second sword too. Art mode is really, really poor. Swindle is the worst minicon to date. Avoid.
Starscream is definitely one of the best TFs in Armada if not the entire line. Both modes pay tribute to the G1 figure, including the nicely sculpted head. Swindle is a poor figure. A must-have for any long-time TF fan for sure!
Great toy, but could have easily lost the huge part jutting out his back. Looks pretty cool in both modes. The arms are a little conspicuous in plane mode...
Wow like mario said, what did happen to the reviews? Anyway Starscream was my fav in the original but he is not so great now. He would probably be 1 of the best if he was way more posable (the whole armada line has that problem)-_-!
