Universe Starscream

Very nice. I guess this is what I'll have to buy Jaydisc.

Alright, alright, alright

I think they are cashing in on the level of interest in Classics by making it available to people who wern't aware of them before te '07 movie. The different paint scheme also means that they can sell the toy to collectors a second time. Depending on the success of the idea I would expect to see alot more of this.

HELLO Universe Classics Premium Thundercracker...

Completely agree. That, and just simply getting the distance out of the mold. After all, it is a rarely used mold since it has been superseded by the Skywarp mold

Uhm, correct me if I'm mistaken... But this is still inferior in paint-aps (we're not even talking about chrome here) to the henkei... agreed?

Why couldn't they paint Classics Starscream like this in the first place?? (T_T)

Quoted for the truth!

Pass. I'm perfectly happy with the plain old original Classics toy.

You can't really tell how good the shade of gray is on that but ti does look nice.

I'm gonna say we call them Underbase powered Starscream!

With Henkei Thundercracker/Skywarp arriving soon, I knew my Classics Screamer wouldn't be able to cut it so I just had to add a Henkei Screamer to my Pile of Loot (with 30% off, it makes the wallet strain alot less painful - Well, You can't have 2 chromey Seekers & one a level of coolness below... )

Same reason they didn't paint the Movie toys in their Premium colours the first time around-money, money, money.

At least this allows people who didn't get Classics Starscream the first time around to get the mold as Starscream and not as Acid Storm.

If this proves to be a trend-repainting Classics with better paint-I'll look forward to a certain Dinobot.

But the lack of paint aps on the turbines AGAIN, it makes me very disappointed At least they bothered with the face this time. But to neglect the turbines AGAIN!?

Henkei isn't faultless. FAR from it in my experience (heh - almost sad, really) but I reckon more effort wouldn't have hurt for a 'premium' or a re-release of Screamer. Poor b@st@rd doesn't get much love from Hasbro... (Except for the Masterpiece one! )

So true. :/ I didn't get any of the Premium movie toys ('cept for Bumblebee w/ the new head) because I refuse to give into HasTak's shameless attempt in milking more money from me like that... so I guess I'll be skipping this toy too.

At least this allows people who didn't get Classics Starscream the first time around to get the mold as Starscream and not as Acid Storm.

This is true... but it still reeks of shameless exploitation of collectors. What they should've done is release this toy in these colours in 2006, and release it in the Classics colours in 2008! Gah.

If this proves to be a trend-repainting Classics with better paint-I'll look forward to a certain Dinobot.

Paddles?!
