Review: Starscream is cool. he is my favorite transformer. but this toy ain't so good. This guy is way too big, and very clumsy. he looks cooler in pictures, ut in real life its not that fun, the best part is the crown he comes with, and the blades. I found a twiin pack that contained both vector prime and a smaller starscream, i bought it for my little brother. the smaller starscream is much cooler and easier to transform, and he is much more fun to play with in my opinion. get the twin pack and save the money for just one.

Review: 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.

Review: THIS IS AWESOME! they finaly made a toy of starscream with the decepticon crown of leadership! i love the movie and have it on tape but this starscream is HUGE! he towers over all the others like the king he is. you press the button on his left missle-rack and they lightup and make a laser sound you move his arms out so they are both facing straight forward and then move them up and each one activates a different sound (the sword one make his eyes light up green) he is as big as unicron i'm glad he finnaly got the chance to be the great decepticon leader I know he is A++ toy
