Its got Red Decepticon symbols so I am guessing that this is a stolen from factory Botcon 08 'Heroic Decepticon' Starscream.
So far Prime and Starscream here are very dissapointing as Prime looks like Motor master and Screamer obviously like Jetfire.
Gold Bug is the only good one so far.

Another terrible repaint
If only the Botcon figure repaint people would just listen to the Fandom every once in a while & repaint some Cybertron/Classics car molds into something like this http://plasticcrack.net/archives/200..._menasory#more instead of the drivel they're pumping out this year
Or something like this http://www.film-exposed.com/images/t...er/JTAURUS.JPG
Now those two would really get TF people making a mess on themselves

I'm kinda disappointed by this line thus far ...

+1 on the Goldbug.Originally Posted by kup
Not overly impressed with the figure, it does look tacky, so I wont be at all surprised if it turns out this was some KO or fan made repaint.

Looks pretty bad, very knock off like.
Pity for the people who want to buy the set.

Are you guys serious?
It's in Hong Kong! It's just a knock-off! Or at the very least a fan repaint.
I wouldn't be too worried yet... :P. It's not on the Botcon site and is therefore not official.

The only reason I posted it was b/c TFW2005 frontpaged it. It's good enough for me if they put it up as they are widely considered reliable. Otherwise, I would've been more suspicious.

I actually quite like it - as opposed to the other BotCon releases so far this year (Jazz is ok).

I'm with you. I like the Jetfire colours and I like the mould.
However, my gripe is that it's supposed to be Starscream. They should at least have preserved the black head and yellow cockpit. See, the plot could've been that heroic Starscream watched his best mate Skyfire perish at the hands of the Autobots and has since sworn to fight for his memory hence the choice of colours.
The problem is that they need to keep it Starscream somehow. The blackhead and the yellow cockpit are vital in my opinion. His colours as we see there destroy the entire vibe of the boxset. It's like Grimlock's repaint too. It really is just Trypticon. Might as well have made him a Decepticon.
So yeah, when I get him from my loose set Starscream will most likely get Autobot stickers instead and become Cybertronian Skyfire.
