Title:
Starscream Protoform 1st Carded
Description:
Protoform Starscream (Deluxe Class, 2007)
TakaraTomy ID number: MD-05
Accessories: Gun with missile and flame attachment
Based upon the "Protoform” (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the movie, Protoform Starscream transforms into his "entry” mode Cybertronic rocket thing. This mode somewhat resembles a Cybertronic spaceship, with a visible bridge between the two dorsal fins. A flame decoration piece fits onto the back of the "vehicle” over the missile projectile, creating the illusion of a flaming comet’s tail . The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces. In robot mode, Starscream marginally resembles previous Starscreams, mostly G1 Starscream, with the large turbines on his chest, wings and vents on his legs. Due to his extensive use of ball joints, he has excellent articulation.
Starscream is armed with a spring-loaded missile launcher that fires the previously mentioned projectile cast in the same bronze color as his body. Alternatively, the flame decoration can be fitted onto the end of the barrel. The flame can also be placed onto the missile, using both at once. However, in some cases, the flame does not have a snug fit on the missile and falls off easily. This makes firing the missile rather awkward and makes the gun look extremely goofy.
This toy also has an Automorphing feature, as most of the figures in the main line do. Pushing his head back during transformation will move his shoulder pieces back into place, while moving the shoulders forward will make the head pop back up.
It has been reported that this figure can suffer from GPS, as the bronze plastic it is cast in has the same characteristic swirling exhibited by older figures that rapidly deteriorated. The gold plastic tends to get especially brittle on the hinges that attach the two small wings to his legs. The plastic that houses the joints is somewhat thin and will give way over time. It is highly suggested that this toy not be painted or altered in any way to maximize its lifespan.Thankfully, to date, this is so far one of the last recorded instances of GPS, meaning Hasbro has most likely caught on and stopped using this type of gold plastic.
The card back stock photo of Protoform Starscream features a completely different deco, with silver replacing all the bronze. It also has a different, earlier head sculpt.
