ENERGON STARSCREAM

This figure is from 2004. He is a Decepticon. He appeared in the Energon cartoon. After Starscreams death in Armada at the hands of Unicron he was resurrected in Energon by Alpha Q. He was brought back as a fuse of Energon and metal. Alpha Q brought Starcream back as an assassin to kill Optimus Prime. Starscream is kind of a ghost but it more substantial at times. He is able to turn invisible. He eventually captured by Megatron who used his connection to Unicron managed to convince Starscream to join the Decepticons.

Instructions


He is a great figure. Everything a Starscream figure should be. He has got a very classic Starscream look about him. His weapons can be used in multiple ways. he can hold his sword as a gun or he can combine it to form a giant combined sword or a can be used on his shoulder as a bazooka.
His hyper modes are pretty good. They allow him to fire missiles. He is not really a symmetrical figure . His right arm is green translucent plastic and his left arm is just normal blue plastic. he has battle damage which is a little strange as he is supposed to be a new upgraded form of Starscream.
It would be nice if he had battle damage on his face like the cartoon.
His arms can be difficult to get out of the jet mode for transformation. On some figures apparently the hinges that the arms are attached to are prone to getting stress marks then breaking. But this problem does not seem to be present on my one so I must have been lucky.
if you don't like the colours on this one then there are some repaints of this figure. In 2005 there was a G1 colour of this guy and was also repainted at Botcon 2009 for Wings of Honour Skyquake and Leozack. There was also a yellow repaint as well in the Wings of honour comic.
Overall he is a great toy and a must have for your Energon collection.
