Title:
Coronation Starscream
Description:
• SS21
• Coronation Starscream (Leader Class, 2022)
• TakaraTomy name: New Destruction Emperor Starscream
• Movie: The Transformers: The Movie
• Hasbro ID number: 86-12
• TakaraTomy ID number: SS-76
• TakaraTomy release date: April 30, 2022
• Accessories: 2 null-rays, 2 null-rays (Coronation), cape, crown, throne, ”All Hail Starscream” backdrop
Part of the 8th wave of Studio Series Leader Class toys, ”Coronation Starscream” is a retool of the Earthrise Starscream above, with newly-molded poseable hands, the coronation gear from The Transformers: The Movie, a second pair of null-rays, and the Nemesis command chair from ”More than Meets the Eye, Part 1.” The toy lacks the paint applications on his tail fins and the gunmetal grey below and above his shin vents, but adds additional grey squares to his jet mode for closer accuracy to the movie. Additionally, various colors are a slightly different shade (red is more crimson, helmet is more gunmetal, blue is more electric) and the Decepticon sigils on his wings are larger. Strangely, the pins on the legs of the Earthrise version have been swapped out for screws.
The cape is sculpted plastic that is hinged to flair out like the Masterpiece MP-11 toy above and has a C.O.M.B.A.T. System-style 5 mm post, allowing anyone compatible to have a lavender cape. The shoulder pads feature flip-down panels with a 5 mm port to attach the differently-molded null-rays, designed to fit with the new armor pieces. By coincidence or design, these additional null-rays can fit into his new hands (if they are completely closed) without bumping into the forearms like the original pair. Naturally, these add-ons, barring the Coneheads for the crown, fit other versions of the Earthrise Seeker mold, so have fun!
The ”throne” features storage on the back for all the accessories, including multiple 5 mm ports. Starscream himself can only barely sit in it (without the cape on, of course), but the more source-appropriate Siege Megatron toy fits in very nicely.
First revealed on the August 13th, 2021 Fan First Friday, the toy is the first to show off the Leader Class window-less packaging, starting in 2022, which allows for expanded package art. The package art faithfully emulates Starscream’s coronation in the movie down to Ramjet standing in the background to Starscream’s left, but Thrust is present instead of Astrotrain on Starscream’s right. Like the other Studio Series toys, the interior of the package forms a display backdrop. Starscream’s backdrop depicts the Hall of Heroes, where his ill-fated coronation took place.
