The epic battle between the Autobots and Decepticons has spanned galaxies and more than 10 million years. The Transformers continue to fight a galactic war for Supremacy; the evil Decepticons, led by Megatron, seek to conquer and rule, and the heroic Autobots, led by the noble Optimus Prime, fight to protect and preserve.
The Ultimate Transformers Store offers a huge range of collectibles and toys for the Transformers fan, from the classics up to the new movie products.
Product Description Starscream, renowned traitor and Deception malcontent, is one of the more out-looking robots of the Voyager Class. Starscreams F-22 Raptor transforms into a bulky apelike robot topped by a bell-shaped semi-insectoid-head. Starscreams thick, blunt arms are equipped with talon-rimmed revolving missile-launcher appendages. Despite Starscreams bizarre and monstrous structural design, he boasts a pretty high level of articulation. The movie version Starscream is described as being as vain and as treacherous as his memorable cartoon incarnation. Plying his secret agenda with various acts of subversion and duplicity, Starscream is prissily disdainful of Megatrons tastes for aggression and direct conflict. Leading a supposed mission to recover the missing Megatron, Starscream yearns to permanently rule the Decepticons, though his attempts to crystallize his position are countermined by the Decepticons, such as Blackout, who remain loyal to Megatron.
MonkeyscreamJune 23, 2008 Uck. Is what I thought first thing I saw Starscream's robot mode in the movie. WHAT were they thinking, What have they done to my favorite Deceiver? Ultra shoulders and little bird feet, not to mention his head looks more like how Megatron's should have. This in NO way resembles Starscream except for the fact it's disguised mode is a jet. The toy does further damage to his image by not even including HANDS. his hands ARE giant turrets? Where was THAT in the movie? This is just an excuse to incorporate missile launchers somewhere, though even as a 8 year old I'd be annoyed by this, knowing who Starscream is in the comics and TV series. Yea, of course spring-loaded plastic stick shooters are a cool feature in a toy, but SO UGLY here in a figure that already needed all the help it could get. The Launchers make him even more lanky and uneven orangutan-like then in the film, and for this reason he won't stand very well. The movie concept wasn't a horrible design, it just wasn't Starscream, like AT ALL, that's my main problem here. Basically, a child who just wants a random jet that becomes a robot and shoots stuff, will love this. It is fairly durable, in that most pieces will detach before breaking off. But for collectors like me, we need a more professional figure and so far this is the best offered for Movie Starscream. I suggest Hasbro Make a few more Leader Class Figures, and Transformers 2's Artists do some needed remodeling before Starscream's imminent return.
not bad but needs workJune 21, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I just got the starscream figure and I am dissapointed with it. first there is too much stuff showing when he is in his F-22 aircraft mode. its to bulky to look real in aircraft mode. the guns are OK ecxept the guns look really bad in aircraft mode. one of the legs allready easily pops of making him hard to transform. the head can be easily seen in aircraft mode. and theres no jet turbine engines on him in aircraft mode. overall it needs work on the jet mode looking more real and less bulky.
Voyager Class StarscreamApril 26, 2008 This figure could be my favorite of all time, but Hasbro made a huge flaw. The missiles. They shoot out of his hands so easily, and the triggers are so hard to find, that you will probably end up shooting and losing one before you even figure out how to shoot them. I ended up flushing one down the toilet (long story). Also, I have only transformed this figure a matter of times, and already, there is a chip off of him that makes it hard to plug in the front of the jet to his back in robot form. Also, his leg joints are noticeable loose. Those are all the bad things about this figure. Here are the good things: He is very true to himself in the movie, and fairly detailed. He is pretty big for a voyager class, and he also has amazing automorph technology in his chest. He is also easy to stand up and pose. Over all, I recommend this toy, but not for children under the age of about 6. They will break it and loose its missiles.
it's alrightFebruary 12, 2008 I bought this toy for my son after seeing the feature film with him. I remember the original toy line fondly, but these new toys leave something to be desired. Kind of cheap plastic feel....and after having it less than three months, already shows some chipping. But I guess that is large in part to my kid playing with it all of the time, so that's good.
The transformation itself is pretty cool, it actually took me a while to change it back and forth a few times. The joints, however, seem to be quite loose after playing with it for a while. i wish there were a way to tighten them with a screwdriver.
overall, I gave it three stars, mostly due to the construction being a bit on the bad side, but my son loves this toy, so I guess thats all that really matters.

The color should have been more accurate. In the movie he's a grey f22, not brown. There's a little flap that hides his face. That flap should have been a little bigger, because in airplane mode you can still see his head. I end up having to turn his head a full 180 to hide it. The cannons work poorly. In the movie, only one of Stascream's hands turn into a missle launcher. For that reason Hasbro should have giving him regular robot arms, which also woud have been easier to conceal in airplane mode and made a missle launcher to attach to his arm. Like they did for '08 camero bumble bee. The legs are done great, they should have used that same accuracy to make the arms. For all the transformers the little wholes that the parts snap into should have been a little deeper, because the pieces snap off too easily.
The images show both robot and vehicle mode (Earth Helicopter). The image of the robot mode shows that Megatron has decent articulation, but unlike the Leader Class version, his cannon cannot be attached to his forearm.

Seibertron.com Reviews Soon To Be Released Glu Mobile 'Tranformers: G1 Awakening' Game Thanks to staff member Stormrider, I was given the chance to make contact with a member of Glu mobile;#x2019;s PR staff, and was able to play a demo of the soon to be released ;#x2018;Transformers: G1 Awakening;#x2019; game for cellular phones. Glu Mobile was very kind and even sent me a compatible phone loaded with the game to play, as they do not currently have a version available for the iPhone.
I was able to spend about a week with the game, wasting many precious hours, staying up until the wee early hours of the morning as I played the addicting game, and tried to experience as much of it as I could before I had to send the demo back....
First off we have Stealth, err, Goldbug... I mean ELITE GUARD BUMBLEBEE by Tamo536. Straight up repaint of the Original Animated Bumblebee, but according to the reviewer the 'stingers' are now able to better fit into the arms...
And also a huge picture montage courtesy of the Japanese Transformers Image Board showing Sentinel in package, with other Elite Guard members, and with the Headmaster unit firmly placed on his shoulders.
Everybody should want to get Sentinel as soon as they can...
