Mine will be here Monday. Thank you for the informative review. Definitely changed my perspective on the figure. All Starscream is missing is his crown. Won’t be surprised if it shows up in a future wave
oh awesome score! no prob man. well, see for yourself, I may have been too hard on the figure (but I doubt it LOL). yeah, I'm sure if they do a bigger version of this character, maybe commander class.. they'll put a crown in...
sorry but I disagree with that logic. the arms are firmly attached based on how they were engineered. a solid shoulder accessory wouldn't bring down the arms.
@@chefatronif that’s true then why wouldn’t they make wfc astrotrains arms strong enough to hold the big gun that is made of the smaller guns he comes with? If they made the arms more hollow then he would be able to hold the gun without the arm falling down.
@@ToasterrStrudel it's an issue with the joint's design... sometimes they run out of budget and have no choice but to give us sub-par engineering on some of the parts of their figures...
As a GalaxyForce fan this a perfect actually it got all the important parts Unlike they Did with GalaxyUpgrade Hasbro is absolutely DogShow Plus chef Blame hasbro the cutting for the budget not blaming the figure Im waiting for the Titan Size version Hasbro you need to oversized it or Copy the Original supreme class and mix with legacy joints and give the man a Crown to rule the decepticons
yes I agree! yup, always thinking of their pockets instead of their customers.... smh... yeah, let's hope they redeem themselves with a commander class version of this and give us a proper cybertron starsceam we deserve!
Definitely not over engineered the transformation is so satisfying I fiddle with it back and forth while watching tv constantly. You are correct about that tab that holds the robot mode together, I have no idea why they did that. This is one of my favorite figures I have gotten recently aside from my DR Wu figures and the core class energeon Megs.
cool haul man yeah, I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees how hasbro cuts corners with their products.... people seem to think I'm just doing my rant and hate reviews for the clicks, but I'm just being honest....
Hey Chef what’s up bud hopefully all is well with you and yours and as always the reviews are always on point although I’ll stick to my G1 cast The return of the no. 2 pencil 😂
oh hey brother, all good here 😀 oh thank you so much as always my man... yeah, earthrise or the SS86 version will suffice for a starscream on your shelf... hahahahaha yeah, still couldn't retire my pencil... I mean, if the pencil shows up... you know the plastic is really bad LOL
@@chefatron it’s good to know all is well with you and yours. Soon as I see the pencil I start laughing cause I know what’s coming lol. Stay true my friend although we’ve never met face to face I do consider you a friend . Be safe Chef
Great review Chefatron!! My main gripe with this new figure of Cybertron Starscream is that its to small compared to the original figure. I think commander class is a better size class for this version of Starscream. lol Keep on being amazing.
For normal starscream, this is fine in line with the normal overall downscaling of modern day. If you're looking for the giant starscream from later on in the series, commander class would be too small. It would have to be titan.
Its funny that the ost creator for the series and other staff in the original Japanese they previous work on gundam series. A friend of mine was a SuperDieHard Gundam fan they notice that the OST are very familiar he said to me its cleary Gundam reference and we check the other staff yep they work for SUNRISE its like a Silent Collab
Without wheels unlike the original is a huge deal breaker for me 😢 Plus what good is its key that doesnt open any gimmick? But still I do like the two swords and its extra gun 😅
No issues on mine, got 3 of this one just cuz it's that's great, 1 on display and 1 I keep on my table for battles and transformed it multiple times and taken couple of falls and no cracked plastic, I'm sure over the yrs it will like many toys but this one is solid. Also havnt seen any reviewer being up that you can lock his feet in place in bot mode so won't have to worry about falling over in some poses
I said pretty much what you said in my review. The figure just did not wow me like I thought. My right arm keeps coming off. Thank you for your honest review!!!
if you wanna be amazed of hasbro's consistency in inconsistency . Follow Legacy line in a tv near you. So... overdrive did not deserve cyber key... metroplex titan did not deserve cyberkey.... and out of nowhere this guy has it..and the other pirate dude from wallmart exclusive. but.. its a pointless item or me. The grey plastic, sadly, is the one thing i am scared, because that grey plastic has been yellowing. even if on sale, which i would go for him, that issue alone is pulling me back. Same with silverbolt. I only god Shard from this wave, everything else i passed. its getting too expensive to pay for defective toys at this moment. I finally went to get Metalhawk, after a whole year.... just to see a bunch in store, with yellowed hips, hands m and the white thing in his back. i gave up wanting to buy him.
hahahahahaha that is sooo true! LOL yeah, I hear you about the gray plastic... it's been happening with a lot of the WFCT figures like Megatron and Soundwave... but this plastic, especially the one they used for silverbolt. seems to be of better quality... but I could be wrong and only time will tell but yeah, I agree with your point on the gray bits...
@@chefatron regarding yellowing... me and some people went joking about squezeplay looking already yellowed to hell. The joke was hasbro still not knowing what is the yellowing issue, and giving up and selling now toys yellowed, because everyone still buys what they do. Today, saw the studio series transformers one optimus prime. I think hasbro is really going on that, because they can't say that yellow is on purpose. adn then, the prime changers optimus prime, he is actual grey. And ad insult to injury , people saying they will buy him still and paint in better grey. when they should not even do that, IF that is actually the case of selling yellowed toys, buying it , its telling hasbro that we don't care if the toys are yellowing. I know i might be a broken record my dude, but someone gotta point it out.
@@jessicarie-tp6ti you know I noticed those "yellowing" gray bits on that new One Optimus and yeah on promo pics of Squeezeplay hahahaha. what a joke!!!
I think- in order for it to be properly in scale with say- a theoretical leader glass cybertron galvatron- or heaven forbid a commander class cybertron optimus- a big cybertron starscream would have to be titan
@chefatron Truly seems like the bulk of the budget allocation for the Voyager Class toy of this year's first assortment was chiefly given to Silverbolt, good Chef. [The reuse of some (now 5 or 6 year old) parts on Screamer here ought to be an indication of cost-cutting at its very finest!] 😉
no prob bro, thanks so much! yeah sadly... they keep doing it for reasons unknown... or maybe just so they get more profits... well, it's not entirely horrible... maybe wait for it land on ROSS shelves... so you can purchase it on super clearance...
The right shoulder on mine has a frozen joint and trying to raise the arm pops it off the mushroom peg. Not a great figure. Every other reviewer just didn't move the right shoulder and pretended it didn't happen. 😂
oh man... sorry to hear that.... could you still return your figure? hahahaha yeah, everyone's just sucking up to hasbro and claiming this is the best starscream figure ever LOL
I think I wil save up for Transformers Bumblebee movie Skywarp instead of this. I need the 3 classic air warriors. F this guy. And I don't like the key gimmick. It's dumb. You know its dumb and it looks sex-toy-ish like they are pegging themselves to gain perverse pleasure from it.
@@chefatron TF Bumblebee movie had by far the best live action movie designs imo. If we ever get masterpiece of the triple changer from that I will piss my pants.
Damn. This guy knows how to pose transformers.
hahahahahaha thanks so much man, I appreciate it!

The arm plastic for the add-ons are hollow so that they aren't too heavy. If they were solid his arms would fall all the time.

Great review Chefatron!! My main gripe with this new figure of Cybertron Starscream is that its to small compared to the original figure. I think commander class is a better size class for this version of Starscream. lol Keep on being amazing.
The size is good because starscream was normal sized for most of transformers cybertron
For normal starscream, this is fine in line with the normal overall downscaling of modern day.
If you're looking for the giant starscream from later on in the series, commander class would be too small. It would have to be titan.
yeah, i feel the same bro
thank you so much as always my friend 😀
@@chefatron You're welcome! 😎👍
I like that Cybetron/Galaxy Force Starscream, the robot and the jet mode was so cool. Starscream's feet looks like Gundam.
Its funny that the ost creator for the series and other staff in the original Japanese they previous work on gundam series. A friend of mine was a SuperDieHard Gundam fan they notice that the OST are very familiar he said to me its cleary Gundam reference and we check the other staff yep they work for SUNRISE its like a Silent Collab
awesome man! yeah, I see it too!
@@weebvsreviewch9484 oh wow! didn't know that... thanks
I am stuck with Earthrise Starscream. ok na ako dun! Shout out pala kita sa vlog ko!
hahahaha o nga, yun ang must have na Starscream sa generations line..
uyyy salamat brother!
Without wheels unlike the original is a huge deal breaker for me 😢
Plus what good is its key that doesnt open any gimmick?
But still I do like the two swords and its extra gun 😅
yeah, sadly....
I know right?! they could have done away with the cyber key and given us a crown instead right?

well, 'glad you liked this figure
Love this figure hope we get repaints galore
oh I'm sure we will hahahah
No, I want it.... The only other one that I REALLY wanted was the make toys one but that one is stupid expensive now
cool! happy hunting man!
I love this figure so i give it an 8 out of 10.
that's cool man!
I want all the recolours!
hahahaha
but a skywarp recolor would be interesting, though...
😊 like your intro music dude.!! Always
oh thanks man, it's from iMovie....
I guess they build them like gsm's these days. Cool specs but only up untill the new model.
hahahaha yeah, perhaps
unlucky on your copy.. so far. for mine copy is fine.. i hope if repaint for other seeker color on this mold.
yeah my usual bad luck with hasbro LOL
oh I'm sure they'll do that... they need to keep milking their figure molds...
5:53 it’s alright you are not in trouble.
hahahaha thanks so much buddy 😀
I said pretty much what you said in my review. The figure just did not wow me like I thought. My right arm keeps coming off. Thank you for your honest review!!!
no prob man, just making sure you guys know what you're getting into and just keeping the review as 100% real a possible 😀
The right shoulder on mine keeps coming off. Perhaps the same problem?
@@richardwhiskers7834 thanks for sharing... now I'm thinking it's really an issue with the mold....

doesn't Amazon have him?
Some gamestops have him I got mine trying to trade games and he was right there
@@mcmknc007 congrats on an awesome haul!
The perfect starscream
perhaps.. but I do think the REACTIVATE starscream is better
@@chefatron For real, that Reactivate starscream is flipping awesome
@@Lord_Megatron-kf8tv it's quite underrated too... I actually think it's the better figure over the
Bumblebee it came with
@@chefatron let's hope they come out with a megatron as well
@@Lord_Megatron-kf8tv oh I'm sure they will! the same certainty I have that they will give us a bigger version of this figure LOL
Really good review. Thanks man.
thanks so much ! my friend
Let's wait for Legacy Commander Class Starscream of the Cybertron Universe, for the next coming years!
Same sized as the Siege Jetfire!
I think- in order for it to be properly in scale with say- a theoretical leader glass cybertron galvatron- or heaven forbid a commander class cybertron optimus- a big cybertron starscream would have to be titan
oh yeah, I hope they do that!!!
@@jeepdino7353 perhaps... but lately, hasbro has given up on getting their figures in perfect scale with one another...
👏🎉👏🎉😀🤟😀🤟
The toy quality looks subpar compared to your par excellence honesty, Chef my bro!
yeah, I agree bro... compared to silverbolt.... the difference in quality is just so far apart...
@chefatron Truly seems like the bulk of the budget allocation for the Voyager Class toy of this year's first assortment was chiefly given to Silverbolt, good Chef. [The reuse of some (now 5 or 6 year old) parts on Screamer here ought to be an indication of cost-cutting at its very finest!] 😉
@@iodaspark hahaha true that brother! I just wish hasbro would stop doing that and just give budget to all their figures...
