I wonder if it is a running change, if there have been more than one sighted. And if so, which one is gonna be the rarer one and/or the more desired one by collectors?

[Sharky]

that is interesting... maybe the painted one is the defect lol,

there was only two starscreams on the pegs at the local toys r us so will be interesting to see which will be deemed the common version.

You could quite possibly be right. All early pics of Starscream had no paint apps on his head and then all of a sudden reviews started popping-up showing him with a black 'helmet'. I remember reading the fan-rage over the initial photos and people saying that they were going to use Sharpies to correct it.

I reckon the rarer one is going to be the Starscream sans paint app as this would have been the first release.

On quick glance, I actually thought the unpainted one was actually Megatron's head! Whoops.

So did I, until I saw the trademark smirk.

Looks like the black head is the second version, as a running change, judging by the various official pics at online stores with no black.

You wouldn't think that much could go wrong with RPMs...

Luckily (and sadly as well I guess) this is pretty obvious.


Obviously no-one checking at factory, or K-mart for that matter...
