I thought Classics Deluxe Starscream pretty much had the same cheap KO plastic and paint look as Cyclonus. It is highly unfortunate that these new figures are turning out quite poor in regards to colour choices/job (Prowl, Galvatron) and yet it puzzles me that there's some decent ones too like Acid Storm and Sunstreaker. I repeat... DECENT.

Personally, I guess I'm in the fortunate position that I tend to admire the engineering side of the figures and I can _just_ overlook the horrible paint jobs in most of the figures. I do feel the pain though, especially when you actually look at other "cheaper" toys out now having a much better paint scheme. Heck even the Bumper Battlers have excellent paint jobs in general.
