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.
Jonathan's StarscreamFebruary 8, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.

Starscream is for Big KidsDecember 17, 2007 When I was a kid I wanted a transformer that turned into a jet. Now I have my wish. I found Starscream fun to play with, though the transformation is definitely a bit complex for smaller children. His bulky construction looks static, but is actually very posable in robot form. The arms and legs have a pretty good range of movement, though he is not going to win any dance competitions. The small fins on either side of the head do have a tendency to pop off during transformation, but the ball-and-socket joint they are on makes them easy to reattach, just like the old Beast Wars figures. I find that if they pop off it's easier to just reattach them after I've finished transforming the figure. Speaking of transforming, the instructions Starscream comes with are pretty unhelpful, consisting only of pictures with no text, and not very good pictures at that. It took me a while to figure out how to change it back and forth, and it would probably be downright mysterious for a six year old. However, once I figured it out, it was not too difficult, though it did take a minute. Overall, I would recommend this toy for older kids who won't be frustrated by the transformation or lose the missles (because as every parent knows, they WILL lose the missles.) or for grown-ups who are kids at heart, like myself.
Cool to look at!November 21, 2007 I think any Transformers now days are a little on the flimsy side. I have transformed Starscream only twice because I don't want to risk having it break, although I am VERY careful with it. I don't know how kids have the patience to go through all the steps to get it transformed (there's a big diagram that comes with it), but once there, it's pretty cool to look at and that's how it will stay on my desk until I'm brave enough to transform him back.
Starscream for 35 year old dorks (Like me)November 11, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Starscream was my favorite Decepticon from the originals and I bought both him and Ironhide at the same time. Starscream is more fun and easier to trasform. His missiles are on a hair trigger, and I would recommend taking them out during transition or else you will shoot yourself several times. The directions on both Ironhide and Starscream are lacking and after several reviews on other transformers I have read, it seems to be standard. After several transformations, they become easier, and I suspect the same is true for all the transformers. Definitely not a toy for 5-12 year olds I believe due to the complex nature of changing from robot to disguse and back, but for us dorks who loved them as childern, they are outstanding, and I would strongly recommend them.

Video Review of City Commander Upgrade Resident Transformer reviewer Peaugh has posted a nice, detailed review of the recently released City Commander upgrade set created for the Classics Universe Ultra Magnus figure.
The video goes in the great step by step detail on how to convert and attach the new addition along with nice video angles showing off the impressive attachments.
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...
