Title:
Starscream 3rd Vehicle Mode
Description:
Starscream (Deluxe Class, 2009)
Series: Generation 1 Series
Accessories: Left & right missile launchers, 2 missiles
Known designers: Andrew Scribner (deco artist)
The second Universe Starscream toy is a redeco of Classics Starscream, with a considerably lighter gray base color, more vibrant red paint, his face painted in dark gray compared to Classics Starscream’s flat gray plastic color for the face and a deco more faithful to Starscream’s original Generation 1 toy, very similar to the Henkei! Henkei! release.Several minor changes were made to the sculpt for this release: his launcher pegs were widened, and the peg-holes for them on his shoulders and wings were modified in order to accommodate them. His air intakes were further modified (on top of the changes made to the mold for Classics Skywarp) so that the bottom-most rectangle goes completely across the air intake’s surface rather than just the center.The figure is reported to suffer from heavy quality control issues, most commonly mentioned are the joints and hinges being incredibly weak. As a result, Starscream’s wings are difficult to keep in place in robot mode. The elbows, which previously snapped into place when articulated, now slide freely, and the entire hip joint system can be shifted out of alignment.This modified version of the mold was used for Henkei! Henkei! Skywarp and Thundercracker.
