I am so happy they made a Starscream for Armada, but why not an orange or yellow cockpit like the original, and give the arms somewhere to hide!( my biggest gripe) Overal, DON'T GET ME WRONG, this is a fun update of the orginal figure!

This toy kicks @$$! He looks menacing and has very cool similarities to the original. Just wish the back could flip down to his torso and that either both of his wings became swords or neither. That would give the toy much more of an even feel to it.

Too, too cool. Both of his modes are homages to G1 Starscream, and his Minicon is named after one of the troops from his team, the Combaticons. If this is what we can expect from Armada, then bring it on.

Not great. Good enough. Decent transformation, however the sword seems a little flimsy-- a gun would've been nicer. For $20, you can do worse. It's no BMac Supreme Jetstorm, but what is?

superb! this toy makes me wish for more direct updates of G1 characters. great color, great detail, great transformation. don't let it fool you when its still in the box. it is so much better once it's been opened. transfans, treat yourself!

AWESOME TOY. Transformation is cool, and easy to learn, and is very much star scream-ish. The extra stuff with minicons add some fun suprises--may take a while to figure those out but when you do it just makes it that much better-HIGHLY reccomended

I love the 'smerk' on his face. No that is a Starscream worthy for any collection. Who here is planning to buy a few more to make their Skywarp and Thundercracker customs?

Overall a GREAT toy w/ a few minor flaws. Wings jutting out of his legs looks great but aren't as posable as I'd like. We were spoiled w/ BW! I want head to swivel, balljoint hips, ankle joints. Like BW Silverbolt, I want his back to fold down to torso

12 years ago this would have been one of the best transformers. I Like his head, but his sword almost spit his tiny hand apart. Jet looks stupid. Bot is cool except for his long, long pointy back. Once again I would give up gimmics for more posability.

Starscream rules. While I miss the classic F-15, this is one of the coolest Transformers I've seen in a long time; he is a good contrast to the new Megatron.

Nice transformation, cool sound effects, sweet color scheme.

I love the color scheme on Starscream. His transformation took me only about three minutes,without using instructions.I think these toys,Starscream in particular, will remind everybody exactly why people continue to buy Transformers.

Not too bad; Legs need lateral flexibility; coloring is outstanding and the head is very close to G1 Starscream (even my wife noticed); Swindle is great for a minicon, but again, minimal leg movement. Good toy for any collection

this is one ominious looking starscream. the robot mode is awesome, great articulation. his fold down wings look like gen 1 starscream. no doubt about it this is starscream. arms in jet mode do look out of place.

Can't get past the arms: They're too long in robot mode and look out of place underneath the wings. Also, they should be attached directly to the robot's torso instead of "floating" off to either side underneath the wings (same with Cyclonus, etc.)

Good thing: it takes you back to the old days of transformers bad thing: it takes you back to the old days of transformers :)

Finally a toy worthy of the Decepticon Air Commander's name! Not a big let down like the Supercons were. Still a little stiff though. Has surprisingly few Powerlinx ports, making it a good toy without gimmicks (unlike megatron).

Not a bad toy.The transformation is ok ,looks great in both modes, poses well.I am still wondering if hasbro is playing a joke on us and that the real transformers are on the way!What happened!!!!!!!!!
