Only if you don't have the one from ROTF, and you don't have a leader/Movie masterpiece Starscream. otherwise it's redundant I think.
I think it's a great mold, I have the ROTF version, I quite like it, it's miles better than the 2007 version. well thought out and looks pretty good in both modes. while there are a lot of seams in the jet mode, they are no where near as offputting as the arm stumps of the 2007 version.
I hate the tatoos, though these aren't as pronounced as the ones on the ROTF version and this paint is nice and shiny.

thing is, I also have the Movie Masterpiece Starscream, so all other movie starscreams are redundant to me now.

I have nothing against this figure but my local Toyworld is selling Leader SS for $49.99. Would rather buy another one of those than pay about the same for a Voyager.

What's with the colored mouth? Is that supposed to be spit?

I was very disappointed when I saw this in the shop. I was very interested when I first saw pics thinking it was going to be more "Premium" like the first movie's Deep Space Starscream, but it wasn't as hoped, as it isn't painted... just colored plastic.

Gastly repaint of the ROTF mold.
