A.R.Ms # 2: Transformers, Starscream Deluxe
Hi again for another review. This week is a tribute to one of the meanest and most cunning of all Decepticons. Being second in command, Starscream is always plotting against the Autobots and Megatron at the same time. He has always felt that his approach is the best way to take down Optimus Prime and the goody-goody Autobots.
Personally, I've always loved the colors they used for Starscream in the G1 cartoons. In 2006(I think cos it says on the box), Hasbro released the classic deluxe G1 line entitled Transformers: Robots in Disguise. As far as I know they were only 4 figures which were Starscream, Bumblebee, Rodimus and Astrotrain(correct me if I'm wrong please).
I only have Starscream, 'cos he was the only one I wanted out of the four, so don't ask further. An F-15 jet is so much appealing than a car. So without further ado...

The Packaging(Back)
F-15 Eagle
Decepticon Air Commander
The features are almost flawless
Afterburners!!!
Frontal view, super sleek!
In Robot form he's even more deadlier...haha. That was so corny. Anyway, you know how sometimes you get Transformers that looks ok in vehicle mode but when you transform them, with the exception of the head and their color, they look nothing like the cartoon versions? This is not the case...Thank God. Just take a look.
This is his Chow Yun Fatt with two guns pose
Articulation wise, it's not bad. Around 11 articulations that I noticed:
Regarding the shoulder. It's great that they made it ball jointed, but if you notice his wings are close and gets it the way. The back of the box also states that he is the fastest flyer among the Decepticon ranks, and he claims it below.
Starscream: "I'm so fast you'll only see a blur!! Hahaha!"
Side by side with Optimus Prime from the animated series.
If you're looking to get one of these, I think its available on Amazon. But mind you its more than USD 30, which is more than the retail price of USD 10 when it first came out. So, till my next review. Same day, same err..channel...Cheers.
