Damn, this is the most members I think I have even seen reading a topic at once. Awesome.

 

Oh, and the bot mode does seem kinda short, but at least it is kinda in scale w/ Prime. While SS definitely is not in real scale w/ the Alt/BTs (ie cars v. jet), he does seem to be in cartoon scale w/ them, so that will be very nice.

I do tend to agree w/ some of the posts over on TFW2005. They are staying, and I immediately thought, that the bot mode is just too blocky.

That makes me want to gouge my eyes out with a fork.

 

HE'S F*CKING SHOW ACCURATE AND THE FANS WOULD HAVE HAD KITTENS IF HE HADN'T BEEN GEEWUN-ACCURATE BLOCKY

 

jeebus :roll

Why would this figure be nuetered? His guns wont snap in half if you look at them. If Supreme Scream can have that long ass blade, this Scream should have the same size guns over here.

Eh, he's close and I think I figured out what is wrong w/ him.

 

If you look at the pics, you can tell that his wings are not positioned the same in the front and back shots. In the back shot, they are raised up to where they need to be and that looks much better. In the front shot, he looks too much like RM SS w/ the low wings to suit me. Plus the air intakes aren't positioned forward like they should be and as is shown in the sketches. (To give credit where it is due, all of these observations were made at TFW2005, which I was reading while this site was temporarily down. Glad its back up!!!).

 

There was some slight mis-transformation (surprise surprise), but I think that when done correctly, he will be totally accurate.

 

EDIT: Also, I don't think the cockpit is rotated forward enough/pushed in on the bottom. The sketches clearly show that the neck is more exposed and the angle of the cokpit is slanted down much more. The proto has it almost flat to the body when it should probably be angled more. Anyway, one more thing that will undoubtedly help the accuracy and make him just look better overall.

Bout the only thing this guy is missing to me is a rotating waist. He could have one but I doubt it. Other than that he looks to be perfection. *as perfect as a TF can get that is*

Oh wow! This is the best transformer EVAR! :thumb

Yes, I noticed this as well. You can see the difference, especially if you look at the head and lack of visible shoulders in the rear-view.

 

Also check how close together the backward-folded aft wings are to the main wings in the front-view, while there clearly is more room in between in the rear-view.

:eek that ......im speechless :eek  :drool  :drool

you know all this talk about size is making me remember all those rumors of jet alternators.

I think those have just been forgotten :tflaugh

I meant this could be those jet alts

Oh boy, the nit-picking starts.. :roll

 

Anyhow, this toy looks great. I really do hope it is as small as everyone seems to fear it is.....I don't have a ton of room.

 

My only complaint is something that will never change and can't be helped cos it is the nature of the character....however it doesn't change the fact that it is a minor Starscream for me:

 

I Hate The F---'n Colors!

The near white gray....the ugly baby blue...the hidious Orange cockpit and just a few trimings of red. My god I always thought this was ugly......but it is starscream.

I recommend waiting for Thundercracker. Personally I'd get this one b/c he's more of an iconic figure (and thus more worthy of the MP designation... yes I'm looking at you Ultra Magnus).
