Title:
Starscream Energon
Description:
Energon Starscream (Combat Class, 2004)
Takara ID number: SD-19
Accessories: Sword, rifle, 2 missiles
Representing Starscream in a powered-up form following his immersion in Super Energon, Energon Starscream was redecoed into a more Generation 1-inspired color scheme, primarily light gray with blue and red accents. Though the sculpted "half-formed” sections remain, the figure’s new paint layouts ignore them, sometimes painting directly over the top of them, which coupled with the figure’s new lack of translucent plastic seems to suggest that this is a non-ghosty version of the character, though his asymmetrical arm coloration remains due to the use of unpaintable plastic needed for structural support. He was released under the name "Energon Starscream”, thus making him Energon Energon Starscream, though when he was first listed in Walmart computers it was under the name "Skywarp Interceptor”, perhaps indicating an aborted intent for the toy.
The Takara "Nightscream Reverse” release of the toy is almost entirely different, using clear-blue plastics in the place of some of the solid-gray in the Hasbro version. Gray plastic was used in place of black, and many paint details were different. It also came with a yellow version of Energon Insecticon’s energon drill weapon and Decepticon-style energon chip. This was the deco used for Starscream’s powered up appearance in the Energon cartoon.
The Hasbro deco of this figure was used as a reference for the unreleased Attacktix vehicle-mode Starscream piece.
