I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, but has anyone else noticed that if you flip up Cybertron Starscream's tailfin that you have an instant homage to War Within Starscream?

 

EDIT: I suppose what I'm getting at is how if you flip up his tailfin, you get an additonal detail that adds on to the already obvious WWI Screamer homage. And also another detail that makes it different from GF Voyager-sized Screamer.

 

Here's a pic:

 

the only thing that Cybertron Screamer has in common with WW Screamer is the kibble on the arms. aside from that, the transformation is almost completely different.

I'm talking about the way it looks, not how it transforms.

The whole toy is a War Within Starscream tribute.

True, I just thought that this added even more to it, since the GF versions fins can't fold up like this.

This is even said on Transformers.com if I'm not mistaken

Alright, maybe I should clarify: while the design of GF/Cyb. Starscream is obviously a direct homage to WWI Starscream, I was trying to point out another difference between the GF version and the larger Cybertron version - which is how the tail fins can fold UP to resemble WWI Starscream even more closely. This can kind of be done on the GF version, but looks akward IMO because the fins cannot fold up ABOVE the head.

Here's what I was talking about.

That's cool. I've never seen that before.
