Earthrise Starscream but with articulated fingers and a cape.

And a big piece of purple plastic that only takes space...

[@SLVRWLF-xx2bt]

Pretty much

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Literally lol!

[@max-mg7gk]

And purple shoulder caps

[@ChaosTheoryArchitecture]

Concerns about it being not worthy of leader class aside, I've been waiting for coronation scream for so long. 30 seconds only yes, but 30 of some of the best seconds of my childhood.

[@breakdown7153]

Seems in line with rodimus being commander. But like you I have wanted this one for a while. I pre-ordered:) Not missing it

[@NinjaAimless]

I gotta say I feel it’s small as crap to be leader class, like at least one size bigger than this two more so.

[@Drooook]

Same

[@LiamDyC]

Do you guys wanna know the weirdest thing? At the time of Starscream's death in the '86 movie, Hasbro was still selling him on shelves! Meaning that Starscream's death in Transformers: The Movie wasn't because Hasbro stopped selling him; it was because Galvatron wanted to punish Starscream for his treachery!

[@jay9inetvv]

God loves yall

[@benstrell4867]

You're wrong in so many ways. Actually seeing the movie in the theatre when I was 10, in 1986, this is the best Transformers toy that I bought since the original Soundwave and the Dinobots. I just got from Amazon three days ago, and I have not played and transformed an action figure as much as this. It's beautiful! The extra accessories are detrimental to his uniqueness. I took pictures of every angle in both transformations and am left in awe. It's worth the money for me. I had 90% of the toys, up until 1989. I can hear the Cobra Commander screaming at me(same voice actor). I agree that the Michael Bay newbies may not care about this action figure, but for a die hard fan, this is as good as it gets(Grimlock and Sludge 86 included). It's easy to be opinionated when you didn't cry with ever other kid seeing Optimus die and Starscream dump Megatron out the airlock like flushing a turd, in a theatre in the 80's. But I get it! You got to be real as to what you know, from when you got into this. But it was painful for me to hear the lack of connection from a reviewer of a toy series that has survived. This toy is so intricate and fun to just play with. The level of detail is amazing. The added coronation pieces make it well worth the price, but the years of smiling as I pass it by daily, on my mantle, is going to be a happy time warp to my youth.

[@lex_rodriguez]

I don't have a G1 Starscream, so this was definitely a great figure from my POV. I feel like these lazy repackages are ultimately for people who didn't get the previous ones. It really sucks for the other collectors though.

But he has a new hat!

[@lawrence8015]

@@Rako_the_AwesomeI love hats!

Exactly im just happy to have starscream

[@chonkykamote1758]

They could have just smoothen out the panel lines to make it more movie accurate and unique to the earth rise one.

[@goodmansteve2481]

But behold, moving fingers. It is completely fine now and all of your wishes have been subsided

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Absolutely!

[@vincentcastor5978]

I love this Starscream. I am an original G1 - 10 year old kid rushing home to watch the Transformers series at 4pm in 1984. Everyday a new episode. I had all the original toys. This Starscream takes me back to my childhood. And this toy has accurately even got the Transformation right from original cartoon. And that 30 second clip from the 86 movie of the coronation scene was one of the best 30 sec of my childhood. This toy is One of my favorites in my collection. Thank You PrimevsPrime great channel.

[@G1SeaSprayDude]

What a humble person this was nice to read your experiences :)

[@vincentcastor5978]

@@sickotato3208 I wish. They were lost over the years from moving too much. Now I just scan eBay often trying to get them back.

[@slkric1724]

This is a must have for me. I love this new version of Starscream with the new hands and all the Coronation accessories.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Awesome! Glad you like it! :)

"New."

my best friend just got me this for my birthday, and I couldn't be happier!

[@markspc1285]

I'm glad you love it!!! I'll be getting him soon

[@justzillathekingofgames6867]

Man I can't wait to get mine. I missed out on the ER one so I'm looking forward to this one. The problems this guy has don't really bother me that much. I ordered the Earthrise two pack of Skywarp and Thundercraker and they're coming soon so to have all three seekers is going to be really cool. Great work as always PrimevsPrime

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Thanks so much! Am glad you like it!

[@whitelight7]

Glad you and I think the same, lol When he was announced I scratched ER Voyager Screamer off my list lol

[@ethanielm03]

Me too! I was considering getting this guy if he wasn't too expensive for what you get and overall he looks pretty decent, so I might still pick him up.

[@jayvbspdx]

The only reason to get this guy is if you don't have the WFC:ER version. He does look cool so I bet you're gonna love him

[@HappySingh-ri9qh]

I also have the ER Skywarp and Thundercracker two pack that I got last year. Looks like they restocked it again a few months ago. It’s a cool 2 pack I also got the ER Starscream. I was glad when I saw the coronation Starscream today and I was able to purchase one.

[@Jetthehawk1994]

Actually, the nose cone for jet mode is animation accurate. Starscream's nosecone wasn't painted blue on screen.

[@AAX1975]

For G1 folks who grew up on it, this is one of the must haves. I finally got mine today. I have the MP-52 but had to get the mainline version. Great review and your video are always high quality.

[@jams-0739]

Honestly, PrimeVSPrime, the thing with the wing joints that pop out is so the joints don't actually BREAK when the wings get transformed.

[@supercouncilman3342]

Precisely. The wings on mine would have broken long ago if they weren't designed to pop off. I can relax when the kids are playing with the toy because of this feature.

[@jrewing73]

"Will anyone else attempt to fill his shoes?"~Galvatron

[@justzillathekingofgames6867]

GALVATRON !!!

[@Gojiraman2005]

I kinda wish this figure was casted in a darker shade of gray like the MP-52 gray. Nonetheless, I’m still picking this guy up cause I also don’t have the Earthrise Starscream.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Yes me too! They should’ve painted him a lot better!

[@qwerty5684]

I got ER screamer at ollies for 12.99 friday

[@Titanfactorydirect328]

The king of bad comedy has made it to Ss 86

[@olvacron22]

I'll be honest I really like this. I missed out on the earthrise mold because I prefer the siege version, but the minute this was confirmed I was fully on board.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Ah fair enough! It’s a great opportunity to buy this mould again

[@Yogsoggeth]

Mine is a display piece in the "Who disrupts" pose on my shelf. I love him so much. I have Ramjet and soundwave standing next to him and 6 constructacons lined up nearby. I just need Astrotrain to finish off the scene, then I'm getting WFC Galvatron and Cyclonus so they can fly in and disrupt it. I haven't even transformed Starscream yet. He looks too good in this pose.

[@TheTallGeekGuy]

Just got this figure and this is amazing the Jet is bigger than I expected. The joints are a little tight in some places but it's still good. This figure needed wrist rotation but it's not a deal breaker, over all it's an amazing figure so happy I have him

[@thomasthetrain2]

Recently i got the earthrise star scream for $12 at oilies but when this was announced i felt ashamed

[@a_literal_brick]

I would definitely buy this if I didn't already have ER Starscream. I think the leader price point makes sense for the amount of extra stuff. However, because I already have ER Screamer, I'm probably not going to buy this. They should have done a slight remold to slim him down and round him out so he fits the SS86 aesthetic better. I think most of the people this appeals to already have ER Starscream, and I don't know how many of them want to buy him twice.

[@FortuneCookieLies]

Rumor has it they are doing skywarp but with an effect piece that is not unlike the stand that the silver surfer has in the Galactus pulse. It will allow you to pose the vehicle mode and be more or less a ball joint that allows you to pivot the plane. It looks awesome and it really pops when you have it.

[@johnnydoedoe400]

Absolutely enjoy this figure. His jet mode is mini masterpiece all the way. This figure is absolutely justifiable. Thanks Hasbro. Great review as always.

[@bigdoublej74]

Picked this up last week. Love it. Agree about the non covered under belly gap in jet mode

[@dcx1169]

I have both and no regrets! Long live Starscream!

[@diegoprieto1156]

I dont have the Earthrise Starscream, and when i was a kid i always want the MP Starscream 2.0 for the coronation set, i love that scene in the 86 movie

[@VestigialHeart13]

Should have been repainted to look like when he was shot. Maybe even purple highlights for the energy effect as he was glowing. Dying expression would have been cool. You could then just put the accessories on your ER version if you wanted a living coronation version...

[@oldscoolcooldiecast1879]

Just found this toy at Walmart for my son for Christmas he's definitely enjoying it and the thrown was a big bonus thanks for sharing ur thoughts and reviews

[@ShadyDBZ4]

Here because I was browsing Best Buy website randomly and saw this Starscream on sale knocking off almost $16.00. Ordered it. Wouldn’t have at MSRP. Loved the movie and his 10 seconds of running shit. Iconic scene from my childhood. Great video review. I collect a lot of figures, toys, & statues. This will be my first Transformer figure. It has to be the OG series or movie. Don’t like anything else but the old school run. Thanks again for an exceptional video.

[@KazamaFury]

This is my first and only starscream I have at the moment, I was satisfied with it, but I would’ve only known the differences thanks to you. I really watch a lot of your videos for insight into something before I purchase it if you reviewed it.

[@baruscream7279]

Not bad, I will get this version just because Starscream is my favorite character. I would have loved that they added Skywarp's screaming face, it suits Starscream so well.

[@migatron1]

The intro music lasted longer than Starscream's reign...

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Literally lol!

[@Dragondude2525]

Your pinch method for unlocking his tires works surprisingly well!

[@BarrettWalters]

Im so happy to have this!

[@Atriomos]

Old video, I know, but as a diehard Starscream fan, I’ve wanted a figure like this since I was a kid.

[@mr.cheezyclown2985]

I’m actually quite excited about this release because I missed out on the original release, hopefully we get more re-packs form earthrise

[@kantamurobo]

Thanks for the video. I just got one (is my first Transformer ever) and was a little lost with the transformation instructions.

[@queenofeverything3511]

In my opinion, R.E.D Coronation Starscream is a better alternative: You don't have to buy a near duplicate, it poses better, matches the toon better in looks, and has better hands, comes with blast effects, can have his gear and null rays plugged into the right place at the same tine, and costs less.

[@legoawcstopmotioner9435]

How does that one scale with other figures?

[@Boyo_5978]

The extras can even fit on ER scream (tho he cant move his shoulders with them on)

[@DarkScorch]

But he can’t transform 😐

[@queenofeverything3511]

@@DarkScorch Yeah, but there's lots of good Starscreams that do, and if you already have Earthrise Starscream, you can transform that one; I don't think Coronation Starscream transformed in the movie? Also, as the other commentor said, RED Coronation set fits Earthrise pretty well. Edit: The shoulders move, but also the cape since it's attached, but can be adjusted properly when your done posing him.

[@DarkScorch]

@@queenofeverything3511 imo I’d buy coronation starscream just for the accessories

so hyped about this set, great review as always

[@HappySingh-ri9qh]

Great job on the video! Thanks!

[@kurtisreptileweatherly687]

I Absolutely agree. I have Earthrise & Siege Starscream & I would have been so butthurt if I would have preordered or bought this. I display Earthrise in Jet mode and Siege in Robot mode right next to each other & I just Love it! Cheers Great Video Dig the HONESTY!

[@Mormegil452]

My parents were never able to afford me a starscream as a kid. I just bought it for my son that is an 80s Transformers fan. It will be a truly memorable Christmas.

[@jaycornu3351]

they could have made it so the nose cone splits in half and fits in his chest (he has alot of space in his chest under his arms and after modifying mine i can say it fits lovingly) as for the cape i think they could have taken notes from R.E.D starscream and at least given the option for a cloth cape as well that attaches to the shoulder pads instead of having a hard plastic cape with it just kind of floating there on his back

[@222LoneWolf]

Just snagged this set at a roughly voyager-scale price in an after-holiday sale, which winds up feeling like a pretty good deal. It feels very appropriately "G1 Starscream" to sneak into Leader Class by just loading up on accessories. Probably going to get my inks out and do some panel-lining on the throne to bring out the details more.

[@antiseize11]

Wish they had figured out a way to had engineered a waist swivel then this would be a definite pick up for me but I'm still on the fence about this one because there are upgrade kits for this that has the same accessories for a cheaper price

[@Spike-Prime]

NGL, I held off for YEARS on getting any version of WFC Starscream because I was never fully convinced I wanted it. I got Classics 06, the second Masterpiece and a few others, and didn't want yet another version of the same guy. But with Coronation Starscream edition... the design, paintwork, crown, cape, throne and shoulder pads fully sold me. It helps I was a Unicron Trilogy kid, and Galaxy Force Starscream had that crown for half of that entire show, so it on this character SCREAMS (heh) iconic to me.

[@Vampyr787]

I plan on picking this guy up because I only decided to collect some G1 guys in second half of last year so I don't have Earthrise mold. I decided I will pick the SS86 version because it will be the most complete version of Starscream. Also I want to give that throne to Megatron.

[@AlcoholAndAnimeNight]

Pre ordered a while back and psyched!

[@dialNforNinja]

Priced down to about normal VOY class at this point, it makes good fodder for custom repaints - or Thundy & Sky, if you missed the twin pack like me. And it's cool to have the bridge chair from the Nemesis, even more so if you can pair it and a WFCx Megatron with the actual Titan class in the background and Soundwave by his side.

[@_V.Va_]

Honestly I'm okay with Leaders being Voyagers with extra stuff. People complain they pay $50 for this but will shell out $30+ for a shitty "Upgrade Kit" that adds the same accessories. Of course many Upgrade Kits do justify their existence, but it's weird the standards Transformers fans have.

[@ronaldclayton4232]

Galvatron looks awesome on the throne like it was made for him,it sucks that Siege Megatrons backpack gets in the way because it was originally his chair on the nemesis.
