Looks really screen accurate, much to the dismay of those feet.

Makes you worry about balancing issues for sure

 

You nailed it brotha.

Wow. So THIS is why the DOTM figure suck. (Hasbro was focusing more of the TF Prime Figures, :D and did a heck of good job too. :thumb )

 

no the weapon gimmick is what DotM figures suck. The had to simplify the figures if they still want to sell them for 9-12 bucks each and include the weapon gimmick. Hasbro has expanded their R&D teams in the past few years with the cash influx. They're able to focus competently on more than one line at once, which they've proven recently.

 

I'm agreeing with both of ya on this haha.

 

Screamer is looking pretty good. Definitely a better design then Bayverse. And I can see him pulling off the spindly, sneaky lil prick look ... kinda fitting with the plotting and backstabbing. Now let's just hope he ACTS like Screamer for once!

 

whoa whoa... i wouldn't say that this is better than the movie-verse starscream. i think both designs are perfect for who they are and what they are to each universe.

 

i will however say that this design is leaps and bounds over animated starscream.. same with his characterization. same goes for the execution of the figure.. as spindly as the feet look (and i love the way they look) they probably won't be half as bad as animated starscreams.. plus, the head is cooler, and the arm missiles are AWESOME (thank god for no spring loaded garbage). bring on soundwave and ratchet.. and the drone warrior things and bulkhead.

Nah, this Starscream is better than movie Starscream. If Transformers had to look different from what I prefer, then the ones in Transformers Prime are the way to go.

Yeah movie SS really is an eye sore imho. I love the idea of using an F22, but the execution was just WAY off. His chest makes him look like a robotic Dolly Parton, while he's got some of the scrawniest legs imaginable, the proportions just don't work well for me. But you're right Timothy.R, animated SS was really bad too. I try not to bring up animated too much though because as a whole, the character designs didn't impress me at all (with a few exceptions), so I'm an Animated hater which tends to leave me biased lol. Animated had some good stories, it's just a shame the designs were so lacking. I will give credit to Animated for another thing though; the transition from screen to toys was VERY well done, which I can see is carrying over into Prime as well thankfully.

 

And for the record, yes, I'm ok with same characters but new designs. The only thing I ask is that characters retain an alt mode along the same lines. Something like Bumblebee turning into a tank, bike or a pickup truck would suck, but going from a VW to a Camaro I'm ok with.

Not bad I like it. :) :tflaugh

Really really cool!

this looks awesome i just hope they dont do what they did with wfc and only realese some AND GIVE ME A PIC OF SOUNDWAVE TOY NOW!!

Give me a Dodge Challenger (Cliffjumper) and a Cadillac CTS (Decepticon Trooper) and I'll be content :bounce

I figured they might be. This design is just as aberrant as the Bayverse vision of Screamer. Sometimes, though, aberrant is GOOD.

 

Looks way better then the Voyager MovieVerse Starscream :P

 

You=absolutely correct. Because I truly hated that mold--all of them.

 

But is it better than LeaderScreamer? Because that toy was a majestic miracle.

 

The Bayverse Screamer design was pretty cool, though. It worked for THAT universe, and did so pretty well. Screamer is my favorite TF character, so I'm a little surprised that I am so cool with the fact that each new iteration of him deviates more and more from his original G1 design.

i gotta say i really lik this mold :love :D
