Toy Review - GEN FOC Starscream

[christalcase]

I'm actually fairly disappointed about this toy. It was much simpler than I expected, the transformation was disappointing and boring, it seemed uninspired. The jet mode is just passable, but the obvious head and the chunky legs just plugging in the back feels lazy. It's also not as sleek as you would want it, having weird angles that doesn't feel quite right on a jet. The robot mode is equally disappointing due to how weedy the arms look. However, the thing I hate most is the hollow torso, I hated it on HFTD Terradive and I hate it here. Starscream's hollowness further cheapens the feel. The only redeeming feature is the weapon where the combining feature was cool.

Maybe Fagnar1 is talking about the hole just behind the head in jet mode. It's a speed hole... ya know... makes the jet go faster.

Speed hole!!

I mean the hole just behind the cockpit. With Starscreams head folded down it looks like a seat without a window.

I think it's not bad. Not brilliant and I prefer the classics version over this one. The chunky legs are accurate to the game model though, which is one thing I didn't like about the game model

People either seem to love or hate this figure, personally I think it's fantastic. The aesthetics and game accuracy more than make up for the simple transformation.

It's beautifully designed in my opinion and looks great amongst all the other WFC/FOC figures (bar the deluxe size reduction of FOC figures of course).

I would highly recommend this figure to anyone who is sitting on the fence.

I voted Only If...

you are looking for a great cybertronian mode Starscream. like many have said, it's the best tetra jet styled seeker mold yet.

it's very accurate in both vehicle and robot mode to the game model. I really like it.

the guns are good representations of the game model for that type of gun, though I personally don't think they suit Starscream.

If you aren't collecting FOC figures or looking for a Tetrajet Starscream then it's not interesting enough just to get for it's engineering or transformation.

Finally got my mits on this guy today, and I'm really happy with him. Very game accurate, but to the point where it doesn't transfer well to the CHUG shelf (unlike Shockwave or Grimlock, for example). But worth getting if you're a WFC/FOC collector.
