Legacy Armada Starscream: First Review of the Year.

[@NexusProductions-rz1sv]

The CHUG aesthetic is actually based off of the Unicron Trilogy as the original line frequently had repaints of UT figures in it.

[@SirGrimLockSmithVIII]

Early Classics/Universe 2.0 and Cybertron also shared a lot of engineering/aesthetic philosophies.

[@PlatinumKnight-je3vy]

Makes sense why Hasbro didn’t redesign him then, glad that they stayed faithful to his Armada design.

[@BlitzkriegOmega]

They just need to work on that QC. So many toys of last year should not have belonged anywhere near a worst-of list, but they ended up there because of QC kerfuffles that completely ruined the figure.

[@StrykerPrimeProductions]

I don’t expect them to do repaints with this figure since neither of them showed up in Armada. I hope I’m wrong but if they do I’m damn certain that they’re going to be impossible to get store exclusives.

Starscream died as ThunderCracker in armada

This figure looks amazing for what its trying to be. And I like that this line will offer more figures from more continuities to appeal to the majority of transformers fans

[@ironhide_editzCr7prime]

Yeah

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I agree with everything you just said, but it's Tragic that the QC has gone all the way down the drain.

[@PlatinumKnight-je3vy]

Armada Starscream was one of my most anticipated figures of 2022 and he delivered for me. Him and Armada Hot Shot are very good next to each other, plus a gave Hot Shot the Starsaber because it made more sense to me.

[@Cdr2002]

I think the sword was intentionally a little smaller specifically to look good with Hot Shot

[@l3EAT5]

Look at ebay. They have kits for starsaber. It’s bigger and better.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I'm happy to hear that they worked out so well for you. I wish I could be so positive about them.

[@the_yellow_shirted_kid_16]

The left leg thing is crazy accurate for me! Even with that, it's still the best tf toy of 2022 for me

[@ivanprime93]

Can you modify it with sanding or glue? I don't quite get the problem so I'm putting both options.

[@PlatinumKnight-je3vy]

He seems to be seen as really underrated, sure he has poor QC but the look and quality make up for that. My copy of Armada Starscream seems to not have any issues besides his right leg.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I wish I loved this thing, but it's just got too many problems for me.

[@MrTryHardC]

As a fan of Satrscream, I appreciate The changes this specific version of the character made. That's why I'm happy he at least looks like the character I love. Posing him and Dinobot together makes me wanna cry, as my 2 favorite characters at least look the part in the modern era. My main QC gripe is that the head always veers left for some reason. When I try to snap it back, it pops back. I'm pissed.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Sorry to hear that problem is plaguing you, I'm not having that one my self. And yes they make sense posed together.

[@lonewolf9578]

My Dinobot was fine aside from a loose foot tilt which always leaves him leaning forward when standing up (Also I accidentally broke his sword so that was fun)

[@rubiconprime1429]

Your Logo variant for the wings in the thumbnail actually looks pretty cool. Could make a fun variant for some event like some sort of anniversary or whatever

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I mean I do lots of logo variants, just look through my thumbnails to see all the different versions I've done.

[@thewatcher7140]

I am commenting once more, been a while but I love this figure. Well, the character to me was special as I recall seeing him one early morning with my brother, which got us both back into Transformers as previously we had watched RID (2001) and we just wanted to more, so with G1 in our minds and a bit of beast wars, we had went onto Armada. Starscream was my favorite because of the gimmicks with him. The wing becoming a sword was such a cool idea and I hope if a third party company makes a kit upgrade or even make their own version of this Starscream, I'd hope to see such a gimmick brought back like the original. Thanks for reviewing this figure and please keep up the good work.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

It has been a while indeed. Yeah, it's unfortunate, he was probably the coolest character in that show, and the best Remembered by the community, and he gets screwed like this. And thank you I will.

[@MrFedoraFilm]

Armada Starscream was my first introduction to the character. And I honestly like that version, mostly because of the coloration, over the G1 Starscream. Now onto the Legacy figure himself. He's really cool. I didn't have the original Armada Starscream toy, so having version, in box, is great. Robot and jet mode looks cool. The Star Saber sword is cool, but I wish he came with his mini-con Swindle too. Anyways, looking forward to who's next from the Unicron Trilogy. Besides the Legacy Evolution Hotshot, the rumored listed Megatron, and the coming Optimus Prime. -I don't have the Thrilling 30 toy either, but I wish the orange swords carried over to this Legacy version. To be the energon weapons Hasbro was doing at the beginning of Legacy before dropping it later on. As I never was a fan of his wing turn sword weapon from the show. It does look cool, but it made him look lopsided. And here it looks strangely out of place since it's not the wing anymore.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Totally understand it, I personally can't think of them as really the same character though. Aramada Starscream is more like Dinobot than he is Starscream. Leaving him in the box and displaying him that way is the best way to avoid the bad QC. Yeah, it's supper weird how much the Legacy Line gave up on the Energon Weapon Gimick Immediately.

[@estebanalvarez8777]

So somehow despite all the issues this mold has I bought one through the hasbro ware house sale and surprisingly I don’t have any of the problems on my copy (I even swiveled the leg aggressively to see what would happen it stayed on) I got really lucky 😊 and thank goodness because I love this toy

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Wow congratulations, literally yesterday I got a comment from someone who did the same thing as you, and he did not win that Game of Roulette, so that was sad to hear. Cool that you didn't suffer the same fate.

[@shawnotoole9195]

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Indeed they have. I didn't even notice that till filming, after the Audio was already recorded.

God damn it I want him to be good but those thigh swivels are terrible. It’s just disheartening. I may not have a personal connection with this version of starscream, but god I’m tired of backstabbing coward starscream. It just feels so played out and annoying. I know that g1 made it nearly set in stone but I just want them to do something different with him.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Yeah, this version that's more like Dinobot is a really interesting Variation. I will also say the Windblade one who's the G1 guy, but if he was president, and also wanted to do good, but was struggling against his nature was interesting too.

[@marcy9743]

@@PerspectiveEnd I know about him, I just wish they would do something like that in something more mainstream like Earthspark or a movie

[@BlitzkriegOmega]

It looks so perfect. Poses like a dream. It has one bad accessory (Star Saber is too damn small). It’s accurate, has no gaps, and even retains all the functions it had in the show. All it needs is like...one weapon kit (Whether it's the twin swords of his Universe counterpart or a bigger, badder Star Saber. Remember, that sword's supposed to be almost as tall as Hotshot.) Why is it so thoroughly fucked by QC? Why does this keep happening to the figures I want the most? I'm sure there's some sort of homebrew fix for at least the ultra-loose joints, but I'm not sure about that Mushroom peg hip.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Yeah most of this can be taken care of by Joint Tightners, but I don't know how you fix it falling in half in altmode.

[@dogrobot9933]

The QC issues on I'm seeing on this guy just hurts. Also, why do the calf doors have "eeennaah" (The sound they look like they make) faces?

Yeah, the leg faces are real ugly.

[@TheHerosLeader]

I think i can fix these problems with joint tightener in certain areas

This figure could have been one of the Best from the line, but instead it's just crushed under a mountain of QC.

[@awesomeguy9513]

The figure looks good the cannons could benefit form the ends being painted black still good, the grey sword is nice but the starsaber looks bit small for starscream. QC for 2023 is gonna be rough from early reviews and with characters like tarn and armada Optimus on the way they could follow this figure looks cool but is a mess

[@JunkJester6131]

With how much Legacy's QC is going down the drain, I hope to god nothing negatively effects Tarn when that thing releases in March. And for those who already have it somehow via most likely dubious means, I hope nothing is negatively effecting Tarn at the moment. I've heard no Tarn bad QC reports on the subject as of the writing of this comment, so I remain hopeful that it stays this way and that figure is pretty much perfect in every department possible.

[@makutateridax584]

My copy of this figure really disappointed me. It will not stay together in jet mode and its legs are so floppy in robot mode that it is borderline impossible to get him in any pose except standing straight up. Also the jet cockpit barely holds on in robot mode. Its a shame especially because I have been wanting new Unicron Trilogy toys forever. Edit: Also I just checked and both the right and left legs on my copy of the figure come off easily as well. I had not noticed before because I got so frustrated trying to get the figure to stay standing that I did not try all the articulation.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

This had the potential to be so good, and it's just let down by it's build. Damn man, sorry to be the reason you discovered that.

Man I remember when I first bought the G2 Laser Prime in Wave 1 and immediately I had that mushroom peg problem where his arms threatened to pop off at even the slightest rotation. So I know how that feels. Thankfully my Velocitron Scourge didnt have that, thank GOD. But yeah, on a side note, good luck to whoever wins that Armada Starscream, and may the QC be with you.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Yeah, my Laser Prime does that too, but no where near as often. Sorry about yours.

[@nfortyeight]

I love this figure, but I’m afraid to transform it because the right foot is too tight and is already showing stress marks

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Man I didn't even know that could be a concern.

[@nfortyeight]

@@PerspectiveEnd it goes side to side fine, but the problem is tilting the foot down into the leg

[@mechamanblade8465]

With the shoulder cannons back, I wouldn't mind owning this as Redwing.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

It would make some sense as him yeah.

[@koalatime6664]

I just got this guy, and my copy has no qc issues and I just love the figure.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Happy to hear it.

[@alexlemonds2838]

As you could no doubt conclude from my profile pic, Armada Ramjet is a top priority. Especially since I plan to repurpose him into Nacelle.

[@barzalonerboyy]

Ok that made me think of something cool. A Selects or Buzzworthy release with two swappable heads: one head would be a new Armada Ramjet tooling, and the other would be the regular Starscream head in Nacelle’s colors. That wouldn’t be hard for them to do, and it’d be pretty cool to see them utilize alternate heads again.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Man why is Ramjet so scary?

[@kobalt8845]

This figure is bittersweet. One on hand I'm ecstatic that they remade armada starscream since that original toy was the first transformer I ever owned so this will always have a place in my heart. On the other hand it's a huge bummer how floppy and loose this guy is. I was able to fix most of them but you shouldn't have to. Still happy to have him regardless

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Yeah, it shouldn't be on US to make the toys good, they should come good. It's so sad because I think everyone who watched Armada has fond memories of this particular character, so it's just tragic it turned out like this.

[@pablomartin1989]

How did you fixed the leg poping off ?

[@zenerstorm95]

Geez, at that point, I'd rather just hunt for the Thrilling 30 Verision

[@PerspectiveEnd]

The qc is so upsettingly bad.

[@PG2994]

Oddly, my copy doesn't seem to have most of the QC issues. It might be a fix due to mine being obtained later or it just might be my copy, but the leg doesnt have any issues at all. The alt mode DOES still have some trouble staying together, but it holds together better than your copy. I do jave a friend who has a copy with your issues, so either a running change happened at some point or I just got extremely lucky with my copy of the figure.

[@DeckardDragoon]

I'm so glad I don't have any of the problems besides the leg popping off but even that has bean extremely minor I feel sorry for those who have had these problems

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Some people have both legs pop off.

[@DeckardDragoon]

@PerspectiveEnd hopefully an upgrade kit comes out for the legs and sword to fix the issues or if they do thundercracker then at least fix the legs because this could have bean pretty great in my opinion it's a shame

[@DeckardDragoon]

@@PerspectiveEnd also I found a hack to make him look almost all the way back his neck is connected to his back plate so if you half transform his chest you can just lift the clip up and lay his head on his back

[@hickettsisepic989]

You know, I think a cool video would be a ranking of the toy lines you’ve made videos on, like Titans Returns, Siege, ER, etc, I’m curious what the rankings would be

[@PerspectiveEnd]

That is something to keep in mind for the future yes.

[@adrianesaffell9296]

This is my #1 favorite starscream of all and I would like to be announced as a winner if I do win and mine really doesn't have any QC all are fine and tight.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Nice! I'm happy to hear that you aren't having my troubles.

[@mothman20]

his face with the cannons up looks like UoU

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I'm not quite seeing what you are seeing.

[@hawshimagical]

i love how quickly you let us know this figure is trash. only this channel. back to third party i go

[@PerspectiveEnd]

The Inferno is Good. And yes, I don't hide things for a big reveal.

[@lkmaxis2678]

I got pretty luck with QC for once. Still got the leg problem though, but I don't even put him in to full jet mode anymore. I just put him in a Macross Gerwalk mode since he has the perfect limb placement for it. Ironically gave him one of Jetfire's weapons for the jet gun, since G1 Jetfire WAS a Macross Valkyrie.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I didn't even think to try a Gerwalk with him.

[@papersamurai00]

That left thigh is a bugger, but at least it's manageable. I did tighten his shoulders a touch so he could handle the micromaster jet duo's sword mode as a not-stat-saber. I like the idea of Screamer with a pair of buddies who gang up on jerks. And this Samurai Screamer is my favorite, so he gets friends.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Those guys are a bit heavier, and good news, they are cons too so they make sense working with im. And yes this version of Starscream is a far more likeable guy.

[@RustyBud]

I love the look of this thing

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I do as well. It looks so good.

[@cyranantone8430]

Remember? Heh, go isn’t as bad as I thought

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Of course. And yeah it's a good design, just bad execution.

[@spirospagiatis4731]

I grew up with Transformers Armada, and Starscream was my 3rd most favourite Decepticon, but when I became a teenager and I rewatched the series, he became my most favourite Decepticon and character in general.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

When he was your third, who were the two over him?

[@spirospagiatis4731]

@@PerspectiveEnd When I was a kid, Megatron was my most favourite Decepticon because of his tank mode, you see as a kid I really loved tanks. My 2nd most favourite Decepticon was Cyclonus because of his helicopter mode and his kinda lunatic personality.

[@MC_73]

He’s amazing. I don’t have interest in watching armada but he is such a good voyager. I got him and inferno the same day Infernos great. I can get over his leg falling off sometimes. I really enjoy the transformation and there’s just something about his look. 10/10

[@MC_73]

Way better than that PIECE OF GARBAGE CYBERTRON STARSCREAM

[@PerspectiveEnd]

It's also that the jet mode has trouble holding together, but I'm glad you are enjoying him.

[@Mevonite]

I always called Armada Starscream ‘hot cheeto man’ cuz of his bright red coloring.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I don't know that Hot Cheetos are this red.

[@usedtissuepaper42]

7:33 I’m surprised you didn’t mention that the tab doors have a giant screaming face on them

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I didn't notice till editing the video.

[@jacobpugh47]

Thankfully i must be one of the lucky ones with good copy of this figure. Legs are a tad loose but he can still hold any pose I put it in. I can only hope others get as lucky as I did, my favourite legacy figure so far.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

He could have been way up there for me were it not for the QC. Glad to hear that your's is good.

[@Natsamau123]

my amarda starscream legs keep flying off the mushroom peg

[@windowbewbs9064]

I’m not a fan of UT, but as a Starscream, I am obligated to get him and add him to my Squall of Screamers. A shame about the QC, but it seems like a solid figure.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

It's a solid design on paper, it's just the execution that fails.

[@jimmyrobot3170]

Hopefully one day, Hasbro starts to care again and gives us a proper Minicon Star Saber

[@PerspectiveEnd]

It's weird that they aren't doing more with the minicons considering how much of a cash cow they were back in the day.

[@wamalam]

Ummm, for the giveaway thing, I accidentally sent two, uhh... Just ignore the first one. Also can I just say, it's not that Armada Starscream is a "Cool Warrior" version of him, it's just that he's Dinobot in a Starscream body... No seriously, they have almost the exact same story in the series, I mean they even get revived as an evil version of themselves.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Thanks for the heads up. I already called him Not Dinobot in this video, you are not bringing me news.

[@wamalam]

@@PerspectiveEnd Yeah, I commented this and then heard that three seconds after I resumed the video
