Title:
Starscream 2nd Robot Mode
Description:
Starscream (Combat Class, 2004)
Takara ID number: SD-01
Accessories: Energon sword, energon rifle, 2 missiles
Energon Starscream transforms into a jet fighter loosely based upon the F/A-22 Raptor (which would later be used as the alt-mode of other two Starscreams), cast mostly in dark clear-green plastics to emphasize his "energon ghost” status. The toy also features numerous spots down the right-hand side of the robot mode’s front, back, shoulder and wings where Starscream appears only partially-constructed, along with asymmetrical plastic-color layouts, to further enhance the "half-formed” effect—though Aaron Archer would later remark that he felt these design cues did not come across properly. He comes with two very large accessories, a sword and a non-firing blaster, which can combine to form a really large sword. In jet mode he has two wing-mounted spring-loaded missile launchers, which can flip up over his robot-mode shoulders for "Hyper Mode”.The Japanese version of this mold, called Nightscream, uses gray plastics instead of stony-blue, a lighter shade of red paint, and darker blue plastic and paint.This mold was also used to make Timelines Skyquake and Leozack and served as the model for the non-toy Wings Universe incarnations of Hellbat, Guyhawk, and Hooligan.
