Editorial Review

Starscream, in the mythology of the perennially popular Transformers series of toys, is the scheming second-in-command to the tyrannical Megatron, the leader of the evil Decepticons. Though he is politically ambitious, we are told, he lacks the finer political skills necessary to truly consolidate power. Still, unlike most human politicians, he can turn into an airplane and fire a spring-loaded missile out of a cannon that’s built into his body. And few earthly political candidates come equipped with a snap out blade, a light-up missile rack, and electronic rocket sounds. We found the transformation from iteration to the other to be challenging but not impossible. But Starscream is certainly not going to win our vote in any election. --Charlie Williams

5.0 out of 5 stars Whatta bot!, February 11, 2006

This review is from: Transformers Cybertron Supreme Starscream (Toy)

Okay, I've heard alot of bad things about this guy. Time to address them:
First of all, his cockpit size. Yes, it's not to scale with the other transformers. Thats because in real life, our buddy Starscream here here isn't this big. Which brings us to the next problem. Yes starscream is big. But personally, I like him big. For me big is good. Some people may not like it, but I do. True, he doesn't have much detail, but he still looks pretty cool, even close up. Next, the transformation. People say it's frusterating. Barely. Yes, the wings fall off sometimes. But not often enough for it to be too bad a problem. And if you move the pieces right, which is very easy to figure out, you should have no problem doing the transformation. Another problem I've read is his arms are to short. Yes his arms are kind of short, but I personally wasn't bothered by it. I guess it depends on how the individual person feels.
I know I said the educational value was five stars. It isn't really, I just said that to keep the average up. Oh and in case you were wondering, his crown can stay on him in vehicle mode too, without his head being overexposed.
Overall, I'd rate this guy 5 stars, 3.75-4.5 if your picky. If you only want this guy for play value, you might want to get the smaller one with Vector Prime. But if you like 'em big, and money isn't an issue, you should get this guy. It might be a good idea, though, to look at him in the store so you know what you're buying. Personally, I love him.

3.0 out of 5 stars Unimpressive for his size and price tag, November 1, 2005

This review is from: Transformers Cybertron Supreme Starscream (Toy)

Overview: An enormous reincarnation of the legendary G1 character, Starscream transforms from a 18" tall robot into a futuristic fighter spaceship. Starscream is the third largest transformer ever to be made. Relative scale issues and lack of detail and articulation suggest that Starscream was designed to be produced at a much smaller scale, but was then enlarged in order to make fan-boys drool and shell out $60-80 bucks.

Robot mode: With a superficial glance, Starscream appears to be a TF collector's dream. His face is stunning, his physical design is impressive, and he's gigantic. However, closer inspection reveals that Starscream is a veritable brick with stubby arms. In general, most of the larger Cybertron robots tend to have a lot of articulation and attention to detail, but both of these are lacking in Starscream. He's nice to look at from afar, but doesn't have it where it counts when you get up close.

Vehicle mode: While the vehicle mode is both original and interesting to look at, it's quite simply too big. It's awkward to handle and too large to display with a collection. The trade-off should be that a ship of this size would have an amazing amount of miniature details that would somehow justify the size, but Starscream has none. This ship could easily have been reproduced at 1/4th scale without losing any detail whatsoever. In fact, this is probably what was intended, as is revealed by Starscream's enormous single-pilot cockpit, which is far too large for the people that would fit inside of Optimus Prime or Megatron. There's just no reason for the vehicle to be this big.

Transformation: Starscream's transformation is uncomplicated, yet surprisingly difficult. Getting Starscream's legs to collapse into place for vehicle mode is difficult, frustrating, and usually results in one of his wings popping off. Poor design all around. While it's impressive that Starscream's robot mode barely resembles his vehicle mode, the process involved in changing him from one to another is highly annoying.

To conclude: A Starscream/Vector Prime two-pack has already been announced and, judging from the suggested retail price, Starscream will probably be shrunk down for this release. If you're looking for a great transforming toy, I recommend waiting for the smaller two-pack version. However, if you're looking for an enormous, awesome-looking display piece, Starscream's robot mode is certainly an excellent one.

Basically, a blown up version of the voyager class Starscream with some unimpressive electronics. Really sturdy, if not clunky; more like Energon Omega Supreme. Not bad toy, but kind of a let down for its size. Kind of expensive nowadays, but it is fair deal for about $70. Check out the video for a more in depth analysis.
