Vangelus Review 108 - Alternity Starscream

[@xion38]

I call him Waspiscreamer because he looks like a fusion between Starscream and Waspinator with the bug-like eyes and the chest that looks like a bug's head. Reminds me of the episode where Starscream took over Waspinator's body. Could this perhaps be a fanservice to Beast Wars fans? XD

[@DJTRANCENDENCE]

WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT?!?! HIS CAR MODE RULES SO HARD!!!!!!

[@jakeutage374]

He got cool jet modes and awesome car mode, I wish they add blue and red

[@vision4860]

Got one of these at a Comic-Con. It's still mint in-box. Figured I would keep it more like a collector since it's a Japanese figure. Came here cuz I wanted to see the transformation sequence.

[@TheAmazingAitch]

I love this figure, i love his head sculpt. Skywarp is very underwhelming and Mr Vangelus i shall send you a hamper with hams, cheeses and at least one bottle of sherry for such a fine review!

[@mineredgar9225]

I think that's a rear engine car.

[@fduranthesee]

Carscream.. HAHAHAHA!

[@jakejager]

I love this vehicle mode, it a simply beautiful car. Strictly on the lines it is beautiful, I have no ideas about performance and Geiger car is GOOD!

[@epicvoiceguy]

i wasn't pleased at all with megatron and i suffered through bumblebee and cliffjumper but they looked good with my alternators. but THIS one... i like the car and the 'bot mode. i would just rather have a skywarp for sentimental reasons.

[@elxr9434]

Same

[@DkunDX]

I feel that your transformation this time was more clear than it has been in the past. Keep it up!

[@retrocute]

I really love your transformation background music. It's as though I'm being electrocuted.

[@KougarManx468]

Not gonna lie , this design would've worked great for a movie transformer figure , switch the head redo the back kibble and we have a great character design , maybe this could've been used for TLK Drift .

[@Kongu954]

Nice review man, Starscream for some reason really looks cool. even with the odd choices for him. Alternity has some freakin awesome back stories on these characters.

[@badwalnutt]

these toys are something else. doubt we’ll ever see anything like them ever again

[@ReviewerKid90]

Nice take on the Chris Latta StarScream voice. Points earned.

[@DremareMX]

Oh god, the scene in the middle with Convoy and Starscream made me laugh. HARD. XD

[@ashergibby1874]

The car is a v6 that will do 0-60 in 5.7 sec and 152mph I guess that's not bad for 2006-2007. I personally like this car

[@periclod1877]

it's really cool and looks good... just not as Starscream

[@brycehollman2468]

love the car mode

[@ZeltraxMillennium]

Nice review, Vangelus.

[@EvoCar5000]

Yet another epic review, man! Loved it!

[@crazyhorse52395]

You are not the only Vangelus! The I find miksuoka orochi a quite attractive vehicle.

[@StInG268]

The more I looked at the head the more it made me think of the animated Starscream head with bugeyes, maybe Waspinator and Starscream got spliced together somehow?

[@TheBillStickers]

Everything you said, Vange1us... 100% AGRREEMENT!!! -Weird but acceptable head, keeps with the aesthetic of weird bug eye headlights everywhere -Giger Aesthetic... it's a car... it's got lots of bug looking bits... it's Biomechanoid which is very appropriate considering these are giant sentient robots. -Those wings really really really should line up... I think it would've easy to have them "silhouette" almost symmetrically... but alas they look unlevel and less perceivable as actual wings.

[@seatspud]

A flying car mode? How droll! (I never get tired of using that ref!)

[@angelvsmaster]

Ø555Ø Head look a bit like Cobra, I mean the "ears" part. I don't know how you do the voice and animation. BUT ITS REALLY COOL! I like it. Same like the GN-Archer. Man, you good.

[@KRiderMan1248]

it seems like a thundercraker mold maybe the one to get. just because of the color and they way it accents this robot mode.

[@conflicthorizon]

I think some paint work could totes improve the head. I think the sculpt is great, it looks like the paint and piping is what makes it odd.

[@SleepingGroke]

I think these seekers have a pretty interesting design, and I don't know anything about cars. And for those who say ""not Starscream", I respect your opinion. But if you think about it, the "robots in disguise" line doesn't exactly work with military vehicles. Sports cars are a lot more common in public.

[@sagasky]

The "trunk" is the engine, the "hood" is the trunk. The engine is in the rear.

[@citrusjuicebox]

Orochi's engine is in the middle, so there isn't much in the front. On the other hand, that just makes the emptiness in the back a lot more disappointing. :/

[@JoyManoppo]

Is this mitsuoka orochi?

[@luigu15]

I like the Vehicle Mode too !!! I like more Skywarp and cant wait for Thundercracker !!

[@Vangelus]

@autobotrockstar2 I don't think it sounded overly stiff myself, but it was cut down from an initial runtime of ~16 min. That may have caused a tonal discrepancy which affected your experience. D:

[@FPrimusUnicron]

i really love this design, if i could afford it, i would buy it in a second XD

[@Trellious]

Great review. Thanks to you, I changed my preorder to Skywarp. (And you are right that car does look amazing, let the haters hate!)

[@myang12003]

This alienates starscream fans

[@SkyScream4721]

Great Review. PS: I like the car mode, too.

[@R0AD-TR1P]

I agree it's a really cool looking car

[@smeltstarverse7306]

It looks better as Banzaitron. I want that Banzaitron so much

[@RiderManX0]

Well now we know why Megatron keeps failing...Alternity Starscream

[@yohnazo]

I actually really like the look of this one, in both robot and car mode (the flying mode seems kinda silly with the tiny wings XD). When I saw it in car mode I though maybe a bit of blue would go well, but it wouldn't suit the robot mode :P

[@keiang3]

That is not an HR Giger car. It doesn't have anything even remotely shaped like a phallus attached to it.

[@Vangelus]

@narutoman876 It's perfectly valid to not enjoy a vid I make, that's the nature of opening one's media up for public discussion :)

[@Godzillawolf1]

Is Convoy asking for the 'Holy Floating Head' to save him just a refrence to your Dragonzord review or is there a deeper thing there? I just thought in the original he was refering to Zordon. Nice review as always!

[@MalWave]

O_O I'm glad I was going for Alternity Bee/Cliff. He's an interesting toy, but I prefer the MP seekers. Still, I have to give props to Takara for the complex engineering on this guy :3

[@DMSL2007]

Great review! I don't like Starscream's head so i'll get Skywarp instead.

[@krakendude2]

The alternate vehicle mode, whice is too diffucult for me to attempt to type, looks somewhat organic with the smooth lines and holes everywhere. It is near erection worthy, in the honest opinion of this individual.

[@Vangelus]

@forgotten1103 Aiee I was hoping maybe the flight mode troubles were just on mine :(

[@primefan100]

it's the delorean from back to the future .... exept it's not an delorean ........ohhh nouuo.

[@Vangelus]

@TheAmazingAitch Hamper cheeses are badass

[@Vangelus]

@ronin180x They have not yet been reviewed

[@tgiacin435]

i like ur tastes in artist who doesnt like giger he made the alien

[@ChevellePrime]

wow awesome review. i will pick this one up at botcon. i will see you there

[@Vangelus]

@ShadowXZeos Starscream was me w/ a pitch shift and then a pile of fx tweaks

[@Vangelus]

@rememberjiraya Props props, I wasn't sure if anyone else saw it either XD

[@jasong5127]

late to the game but I'm grabbing this on ebay, if it's available....

[@Vangelus]

@isaaccb You are the highlander

[@Levitz9]

@Vange1us IT'S LIKE I'M REALLY LISTENING TO G1 AUDIO!

[@JunkionGamer]

it's weird to see starscream not being a jet

[@ShadowXZeos]

Holy shit. Who did the voice for Startscream? That was the closest Ive heard to the original.

[@Vangelus]

@dude851884 Check out some Alternity tech specs, they totally got paradoxes covered

[@buzzingsigndiner397]

Did Starscream just _"De-evolve"_ Alternity Convoy? Ostensibly that's what he's doing. I have no idea what Retroactive Nullifiers actually do and even then I would probably have to learn about as-of-yet nonexistent aspects of science to understand how they do what they do. Anyone?

[@Mrbandit81]

that looks cool, when did this toy line come out an were are they sold?

[@ChevellePrime]

wow awesome video. i might pick this up at botcon. i will see you there

[@alxporrini8563]

Should I get this or the rally car GT-R Megatron?

[@benderchump]

He looks like some Shrine Maiden.

[@commandermetal]

have you seen the banzai tron Repaint of this?

[@ronin180x]

so you do have the megs and prime so when will to reveiw them or have i missed it ????

[@Vangelus]

@mariobros2772 Thank you!

[@Vangelus]

@AdamDMurray Hahaha that's amazing

[@ronin180x]

@Vange1us ok sorry for bad English i can wait till you do

[@benjaminrodriguez2091]

What car is he

[@UltraMarcus28]

@clayonicle i know man, but what storyline are you guys seeing? i know the color isnt meant to be right but lets be honest, thats not starscream lol. ITS NOT REAL!

[@narutoman876]

Why the shit do you people sound surprised thats this is a good review? IT"S FUCKING VANGELUS OF COURSE ITS GOING TO BE GOOD!!!

[@megamanpwn3dmario]

so... if i were to buy an alternity, which one should i start with?

[@MaverickhunterXZero]

his face reminds me of the the symble for Kamen Rider Kuuga O _O

[@ZListHobbyist]

They're called bucket seats

[@Justincredibletoys]

does anyone notice that scary face in vehicle mode

[@bcgilbert5]

duggerboo oh my goodness that's Wired !!!!!!!

[@kalebwv1]

i think it cool looking car mode

[@Ultikiller456]

@Vange1us What about now? =3

[@wewyllenium]

You'd make a good sales rep. :D Nice review. Megatron is fearless now. :D Flying car mode like in Mask. lol Full of flaws but what more can we do. Good point on the fake car hood. Just like animated bumblebee. I don't see the point of having them do that.

[@aaronuttinger9842]

It'd doe's look great when you get over he not a jet I would get if I could I really like it.

[@Dood_Spooce]

Why does this video make me feel like Im watching a cheesy ghost show

[@elxr9434]

Nice vehicle mode sucky robot mode

[@helios5868]

Having a windshield on his wings just doesn't work for me.

[@Xarie1]

Vehicle mode is boring, but Robot mode kicks ass!

[@SkysProdigy]

i think it looks cool! xD the car mode that is

[@Finnergans]

@Vange1us Idk. Well anyway good review all the same. Keep em' comin!!!

[@primefan100]

oh my unicron you're right optimus always thinks Mr.screamer are an coward so they make an remix of them 1.the head is an mix of Mr.prime and Mr.screamer as you said 2.they are both able to fly ......... wait what Mr.prime can't fly .....OH wait (more then meets the eye episiode 4) WOW i am realy grudges.

[@Vangelus]

@shredBucketheadshred Augh friggin crazy ass backwards cars, I leave this to more automotive gentlemen D:

[@R0AD-TR1P]

This should have been tracks

[@pizzaking2189]

Forgive my stupidity but What Prime figure was that after Starscream shot alternity convoy?

[@odsk8rkid1027]

@pizzaking2189 hybrid convoy. or ths-02

[@sabresrcurcrazy]

He should have been a Delorean lol

[@volkswagensherman]

that car has a rear engine

[@joebowditch7577]

why dose the car have eyes

[@shinobitreecko8442]

It's meant to look organic and resemble a dragon

[@vistar411]

... if you ever need to get rid of these figures I know this guy...*COUGH COUGHmeCOUGHCOUGH!*

[@BigEddsLore]

car mode good robot mode is painfull to look at

[@DragoonMS]

His head kinda looks like a Kamen Rider head...

[@narutoman876]

@Vange1us i was being exaggerated for comedic effect there are some of your reviews that weren't as amazing like say Kamen rider week which was fahmazing even though i had no interest in kamen rider then!
