5.0 out of 5 stars Best Energon Yet!, February 3, 2004

This is a fantastic figure... Pretty much everything about it is great... the color scheme is fantastic, the details are awesome (as mentioned in an earlier review, the battle damage is perfect), and it has just enough special features to make it worth the purchase...

if I could find any beef with the figure, its that some aspects of the transformation need to be forced to make them work (folding the arms into the vehicle, for example)... also, the weapons look great, but when they're combined they're, well, monstrously huge (imagine trying to carry a sword as long as a basketball hoop, and you'll know what I'm talking about)...

otherwise, if you must buy one figure out of the first wave of Transformers Energon, Starscream must be that figure... It has the look of the original Starscream from G1, but with enough articulation and special features to make him just that much better

It may just be the newness of the figure, but IMO this is the best toy to bear the name Starscream. It looks great, with molded battle damage resulting from the events at the end of Armada. Since this is a new form for Armada Starscream, there are elements of the Armada design present, but this isn't simply a scaled down version of the earlier toy. It has a different transformation, very reminiscent of the G2 Smokescreen toy (but not identical). It is quite posable; his shoulders are limited a bit because his wings block them, but that's the only problem on that score.The jet mode is detailed and convincing, and both modes hold together well.
Now the features: Starscream has missle launchers concealed in his wings, which can be deployed in either mode. He also has two "Energon weapons" - a gun and a sword, which can be pegged together to make an even larger sword. Unfortunately, the sword is as tall as Starscream himself, and so doesn't quite look right in his hand. A larger figure would look great wielding it, though. Starscream can use any Minicons you picked up from Armada - he has a hardpoint under each wing, which can also be used to mount the gun and sword.
All-in-all, I really like this toy. He's currently on display, making my G1 Starscream look hopelessly outdated. :-)
