Review: #425
Name: Starscream
Brand: Transformers
Allegiance: Decepticon
Line: The Last Knight
Year of Release: 2017
Size Class: Tiny Turbo Changer (Wave 1)
Mold Status: new
JET MODE:
As part of the Tiny Turbo Changer line, Starscream comes in a blind bag but with letters printed onto the packaging, you can easily pick out any particular figure.
Starscream transforms into a super deformed version of the Raptor jet as seen in the movies.
There is a lot of undercarriage kibble but that's to be expected at this size. Note that he has his "tattoos" from ROTF here, as well as a gold cockpit.
Above is a comparison against Robots in Disguise (2015) Heatseeker, and you can see that he is a fair bit smaller than a Legion sized figure.
This isn't a terrible jet mode and for its size, it's actually quite good.
TRANSFORMATION:
Getting Starscream into jet mode is very easy. You flip the legs down and moves out the arms from under the wings and you're done.
ROBOT MODE:
Starscream's robot is deformed as well, with a head that's proportionally larger than normal.
The robot mode is literally the underside of the jet but at this side, it's understandable.
The headsculpt is quite simple and the whole figure is made from a rubbery plastic.
The size difference is a lot more obvious in robot mode when compared to a Legion.
Articulation is limited to balljointed shoulders. Due to transformation, he tends to lean forward a bit and can actually face-plant himself easily.
It is an passable robot mode.
OVERALL:
At this size and price point, it is quite good value that you get a transforming figure. Both modes are okay and recognizable as the character. Recommended if you like Starscream.
