New Looks at Revenge of the Fallen Ramjet and Skywarp Robot Modes

They are NOT "mistransformed". That transformation is a popular fan-transformation. It allows the wings to seem more "G1" AND it allows the shoulder joints to sit higher up, give a more humanoid and thus "G1" feel to it.

 

I myself do the same with my movie G1 Screamer and Thundercracker. I also mistransform the legs to make them straight and not the official "chicken legged" approach.

 

So now you know.

No, they're mis-transformed, 'cause they aren't transformed the way the instructions say they should.

 

BEGIN RANT:

You know what? it's just more carp! LOTS AND LOTS OF CARP!

I personally, (as in ME! my opinion!) LIKED the movie Starscream compared to the G1 there's no competition G1 wins hands down... but I loved the design and concept of the movie SS, They even got his personality more sinister yet just as conniving. so as soon as I saw the movie he became my fav... plus he had a "gorilla with talons" design... so he was like the robot of my dreams.... then I got the toy... and I HATED it!!

the bulky cannon arms

the open back

the barely poseable thighs

the swivel neck

THE TOY STANK MORE THAN PARIS HILTON AFTER A PARTY!!

so I hoped and hoped a better vers would come out.... and yet NOTHING!

all these stupid repaints!

there needs to be a better one

I really really really want there to be a leader one. And I doubt there ever will be one...

There should be a leader one... IF NOT for G1 fans who hate the new one Then at least for customizers like me.

END RANT

I pretty much share your opinion of Movie Starscream; he's not the G1 'Screamer I know, but he still kicks ass.

That said, I disagree with you about the toy. I recognize all of the toy's faults, I realize that you have completely legitimate reasons for disliking the toy, but personally I love it regardless.

I am getting a bit tired of the endless repaints of these things, and I think Ramjet especially really comes up short as far as embodying what made him Ramjet.

 

As far as the mold goes, I'm very fond of the bot mode- it looks very formidable and alien. I especially like the target "premium" repaint of SS.

 

The plane on the other hand- it's a bad joke. I never transform my SS to plane mode. In fact my premium version that came in bot mode has NEVER been transformed.

 

I really do hope we get a leader SS this time, and if it happens I hope they pull of the plane a bit better.

I like how're they're using the different heads. Which one could be considered the conehead? :tflaugh

 

I love how Ramjet's colorscheme comes through on the robot head, and Skywarp is pretty nice too. I'm actually kinda digging the mis-transformed wings, too.

they've gone from cone heads to dome heads. since g1 starscream, thundercracker and now skywarpd all have matching heads i hope any remaining coneheads get the original movie starscream dome... not that i'll get any of them... just for consistancy sake.

Bottom line...I'll end up getting them both. True, I did hate the designs of this mold when I first saw prototype pictures way back when, but I warmed up to the Moie designs and came to like 'em. Hey, if you hate the mold, fine...you'll save some dough. I wanted a Voyager Ramjet ever since I saw the Fast Action Battlers repaint, so I'm pretty happy. I wonder if we'll see a Dirge or Thrust? TF3, might bring 'em to us.
