Hands down one of the best Transformer toys ever. July 3, 2010

Usually, toy manufacturers don't put much real time nor effort into toys based on a movie - even when that movie is based on their toys! Leader Starscream is the 2nd exception to that rule (first being Leader Prime, ROTF edition).
This toy is a GREAT representation of the movie character. Everything is VERY detailed and the articulation superb for such an awkward looking being. Too difficult for younger kids, but a great buy for 10+ ages.
Voice isn't great, but take out the batteries and you'll never care.

This is the pinnacle of the Transformer line of toys. His colors are excellent and just absolutely detailed figure. Like all leader class figures he can be difficult to transform the first time but you get the hang of it, thanks youtube for the transformation videos. Really top quality heavy figure has three different voices two in plane mode and two in robot mode, they share one voice. A must have.

Seriously though this toy is nice. Its not heavy but it does have some weight to it and its a very sturdy looking figure. Not to mention HUGE not quite as long as Jetfire in alt mode but he's solid and a little taller than JF in bot mode. His voice sucks, in my opinion, but its nothing that removing the batteries won't cure. That's my only flaw with it, that and the fact that his fingers aren't articulated. Again though these are minor issues, Hasbro has finally stepped up to the plate in their leader toys. Even if you hate the movie bots, he's still a nice one to have. Now if we can only get one of Blackout/Grindor...
Also I didn't realize that some were charging nearly 50 bucks for this guy. I brought mine from TRU its free shipping if over 49 and also its buy one get one free. I paid $50 for him but that included tax and shipping rates.
Happy hunting.
Starscream at his very best August 7, 2010

Here we have what is surely a contender for the best Starscream figure, and definitely one of, if not the best, of the movie based figures. After about a week of messing with him and making him my main desk ornament, I've decided to review this figure. Below I'll list the pros and cons of the figure
Pros:
- Very detailed and accurate, he looks tremendously like his movie counterpart and his markings make an already sleek figure even more awesome.
- Kibble is stored very nicely and fairly compact on his back, and adds to his overall display.
- The kibble also acts as places to store his jet mode missiles and his robot mode rocket launcher.
- His jet mode looks great, very sleek presentation but with a few flaws (continued in Cons).
- Very nice features, including: A missile launcher(which fires the 2 missiles from jet mode), a wrist mounted chain gun, and 2 rockets hidden under his wrist plates (there's a tiny red lever on his arm to pop them in and out)
- Along with all the great non electronic features, there are transformation and jet sounds, along with 2 phrases he can say by either pressing the button on his back (jet mode) or pulling down on his cockpit (robot), and lights to go with it all of them.
- Transformation is fun and intuitive, however it may be too challenging for some kids, but it's nowhere near as hard as Leader Class Optimus Prime from the Revenge of the Fallen line.
- Very durable, not even one piece has popped off during transformation or posing, making him an incredibly well made figure.
Cons:
- Could stand to be more pose able, there are no joints to allow the wrists to turn (his arm gimmicks do make up for that though), and there is no way to swivel the waist.
- Transformation sounds go off A LOT during transformation, just touching of the front of the jet may set it off.
- Voice is... different. It's not bad really, it's just not what I expected.
- His legs are still very noticeable in jet mode, but nowhere near as noticeable as Jetfire's robot bits (they at least blended them in as much as possible.
Well, that's all I have to say on him. Hope this helps some people out, all of his features and sleek presentation make for one great figure, even though there are a few minor complaints. He's a fantastic addition to anyone's collection, and I can't recommend him enough. If you can find him, grab him if you can! You won't regret it.

This toy is awesome overall. It is a big improvement over the voyage class Starscream(s). All in all it is a good piece of work. A few minor problems I have with it is the wrist and fingers. It would have been cool to have his wrist rotate and and maybe a little more poseability in his fingers. His voice is also awful. It would have been cool to have a Chris Latta sound to him. Or at least a menacing sounding voice. Also, I think they made him "too" big. He almost towers over ROTF Prime (if his legs are stretched out he does). He also is just as big as Megatron. Kinda hard imagining Megatron bullying him around being this big. But those are minor. I can say is "thanks Hasbro for finally getting it together with making a toy worth buying". Now, if we could just get you guys to make a Supreme class Blackout/Grindor!!
