When the gamer edition Starscream was revealed, eBay was selling out of the original figure at a rapid rate.
@jonathanb19879 ай бұрын
I can see why. I have the original and the alt mode, chest, and wing size are more accurate on the deluxe. That CAD file is not the same model as the one in the game. Remember they lost the original files for the game. That is why they cannot re release the game. Now it goes for stupid money.

I've been saying since this thing was revealed, aside from the chunky cockpit, a lot of the complaints I saw about the figure were just quirks of the actual game design lol. Like the wings being "too small," that's just kinda how this Starscream looks.

Exactly. His wings weren’t expanded until the FOC design came around. His wings were small in the original and anyone who played the game would’ve noticed

It's insane how most of the criticism on Optimus prime, Megatron, and starscream was that they were actually accurate to how they look in game Megatron got complaints that points out he's skinny, but he was that skinny in the game And his alt mode got bashed like crazy because it was also kind of accurate

What I've noticed is Planet X's mold of the Seekers and Hasbro's mold are both more or less accurate because they represent two states of the alt mode. By default the jet takes one shape in its "hover" mode, which I believe Hasbro used for reference here and Planet X's design is based on the "boost" mode
@frenchfriedbagel70359 ай бұрын
They didn’t need to make the cockpit that big to fit Starscream head into the space. They could’ve had that same piece, but made in the grey plastic and molded to be the area around the cockpit, and then have a separate smaller orange piece connected to that as the cockpit.
@j0hn005 ай бұрын
Mhm. It's just such an odd design choice that they went with. I'm thinking I might commission someone with 3d modelling/printing experience to model a whole new chest because that's the one part of this figure that continues to bug me
@Cornchips-om5rf4 ай бұрын
My guess is that it would go over budget. I count 4 molds here (blue, red, grey, and soft, so I have to assume he was made on a retool budget. They probably didn't have the ability to cast the entire mace out of clear plastic as well as the cockpit, then paint them separately.

First we had Reactivate Starscream, and now this, which looks stellar based on the footage here. I held off on the pre-order initially, because I was worried he'd somehow get stuck with those senior-citizen knees like the other Decepticons in this line, but thankfully this review has put those worries to rest. I personally don't mind the way the cockpit looks - the faint little ridges in the plastic keep it from looking too plain. Waist swivel on a Seeker is always a great sight to see, too. Dangit, now I dunno what to do. I was gonna keep to one figure per character, and Reactivate Starscream is still amazing, but this figure looks too good to pass up. I guess I can get him anyway to better fit with my Optimus Prime and Megatron.
@ZachDy-xg9itАй бұрын
_Reactivate_ Starscream could be used as an Earth-mode Starscream, while Gamer Edition Starscream could be his Cybertronian mode. Then again, Starscream had his _War for Cybertron_ body in the IDW comics.
@ToaArcan9 ай бұрын
I'm overall pretty satisfied with how he looks, and I look forward to mine arriving soon. That said, I still think the solution to the cockpit is just to make it not clear. Opaque plastic with metallic paint, like on Legacy Armadascream, mainly because I worry about the rubber perishing, like TR Mindwipe's wings.

My primary concern is the canopy's durability as it dries due to using a rubbery plastic. Decided to re-order it last night out of a sense of "fine, I'll bite and keep my SSGE one-of-each-mold streak going," and immediately this morning it got in stock to ship out. Should at least look great next to the Planet X one on my shelf.

I know you said why they made the cockpit soft instead of hard clear plastic, but my question is why did it need to be clear to begin with? Why does ANY transformer figure need a clear windshield/cockpit? I'm tired of them making these weird decisions with clear parts that ruin the look of a figure, and for what? So you can look through the windshield of a car and see.... What? The robot mode butt through the window? The back of the robots head through a cockpit canopy? There's no full interior for the vehicle modes so who cares if the windshield/cockpit is clear? Just make it a solid painted piece and be done with it.
@matthewjoyner15957 ай бұрын
I almost got one today, but the one I found was missing the two red pieces that sit on top of his shoulders. And because of the open window, they’re just gone. Sad. I’ve seen figures with missing heads and accessories. When will Hasbro learn? I would rather gamble with a completely closed box than to have pieces missing. Edit: After looking at a bunch of pictures of Starscream in box and watching an unboxing, I figured out that those pieces are packed separately in a little bit of paper so I did get him and he’s awesome. I’m choosing to edit this comment instead of just deleting it because my point still stands. This plastic free packaging has been a problem across all toylines that have adopted it. It allows people to scan each other by putting an old or unwanted figure in the box and returning it. And I’m finding Transformers missing heads and other things.

Like you said A lot of the Cockpit complaints could have been easily fixed if Hasbro would have painted the sides of the cockpit. So I recommend, if you can.. and I am saying this to anyone, get some Vallejo Oily Steel paint and it’ll look better…. Seal it with Mr Hobby and it shouldn’t flake.. Or wait for ToyHax to do a decal. That’s all it needs to look better and slim it down. It’s more visual than anything.

Transformers is my new hyperfixation, so I've bought a few figures. I wanted Starscream because I LOVE fighter jets. I bought him, a really basic version of Soundwave, and Optimus Prime and Bumblebee from that Earthspark show. This is by far the hardest and most complex one to transform. Thank you for showing that in your video. I sat here for 20 minutes, rewinding and playing those parts just to get it right. It's just amazing how they are able to make these toys with such complexity. The Soundwave one was sort of disappointing, as only the top half actually articulates, and I think it's literally like 2 steps. As much as I love this Starscream, I think the sweet spot is the Bumblebee and Optimus Primes I got. Not too many steps, but enough that it feels fun and satisfying to complete. Starscream... wow, this one was a doozy! Being that I'm in my own little bubble, I didn't know there was controversy over this toy. I loved it from the moment I saw it!

I'd just appreciate it if they finally let the clear plastic on hinges rest. No matter how you do it, it always seems to cause problems, be it fragility, crummy paint matching, being flexible and thus unpaintable like here, or any number of others. I can't think of a single example where it would've looked way worse to have solid plastic of an appropriate color. Even here it would've been more accurate: in-game, they don't actually render the cockpit with any transparency, it's solid orange. Clear plastic only ever works as inserts/aesthetic parts, never anything that needs to move.

Its a shame the cockpit ruins this figure for me visually, robot mode and vehicle mode worked much better even with the exposed head on the deluxe. He otherwise looks really fun and posable. Really hated the excuse they gave "there was noway else to fit the head" either find somewhere else to put the head that doesnt totally compromise the looks and silhouette of the figure, or just repeat what the deluxe did. The head was really not much of an eyesore and hid fine in plain sight.
