Starscream Spotted in Topgun!
I noticed this for the first time last weekend when I was giving my oldest (13) son his monthly dose of:"Dad's 80's Nostalgia"
I can honestly say I've seen this movie at least a half dozen times since it was released but had never noticed before that Goose gives his kid a Starscream toy when he meets up with his Missus (Meg Ryan) at the airport. You also see Starscream in a later scene sitting on top of the Piano when they are singing Great Balls Of Fire!

I am more inclined to think it was used as prop because it turns into a Jet (albeit aF15 not F14 like they are flying in the movie though) and not because its a transformer. The Prop Master probably said, "hey get me a toy jet for the father meets son/wife scene" and because Topgun was released in 1986 right in the middle of the Transformers hype Starscream would of been readily available on toy shelves!
