When I saw that you could bring the cannons forward unlike the deluxe Armada starscream that we had I could hear Michael Dobson exclaim "fire null laser cannons" The only small complaint I think I can level against this from what I've seen is no sign of the mini-con swindle and that the wing sword doesn't become part of the wing but then again that piece of the original toy was extremely fragile.

The only thing missing is that his minicon, when placed on the port on the back of the jet, kind of looked like a vertical tailfin in jet mode.

I had the original mold but thundercracker which despite the wing sword actually being kind of flimsy (you can't tell me they couldn't have made the Wing sword for the new version a little less flimsy) had a lot of play value with the minicon activating all sorts of lights and sounds and of course deploying the null laser cannons which was my favorite feature of the Armada starscream both in terms of toy and on screen as it gave him some serious firepower it made him a genuine threat

@DrPhoenixJKZ

@@jehb8945 That is good enough. Basically, Thundercracker never appear in Armada, and that blue version appearance is only for Starscream. And, actually, blue color is the power-upgraded version of Armada Starscream. And on cap of that, Starscream dies in this form, with the most heroic way among all versions of him.

11:25 “we don’t get gimmicks like that on modern day figures anymore.” And it’s a good thing too! The original Armada Megatron toy didn’t have knees because the gimmick mechanisms made it too heavy to have any articulation in the lower half!

"Nah, it wasn't designed for this, okay let's just forget about that," I like this PVP. A definite pickup for me! Especially if Armada Prime is a commander class. Too expensive for me. But I'm not bothered by it if I can get this.

Armada Starscream was first introduction to the character, and my favorite Starscream design. So this Legacy Starscream is gonna be my list for sure. And just like the Starscream seeker mold from the past, he's going to be repainted as Thundercacker blue, purple with a new head Skywarp, and others. Hope more of the Armada Decepticons, like Demolisher, Cyclonus, Thrust, Tidal Wave, and Megatron, gets Legacy figures.

That blue sword brings back so many childhood memories of the mini cons that made that sword!!

That figure is looking at that core class sword you made and thinking, “Even the Minicons have abandoned me.”

Amusing this is early given the Armada focus of Legacy Evo. So excited for this one, gonna look great next to Earthrise/SS Coronation Starscream and Shattered Glass Starscream.

It’s ironic that you mentioned those two specifically, because those two happen to also be two that I have and are my favorites The other two that I have are power of the primes and combiner war starscreams, and while they’re not bad, they’re very aged

I have another place for the weapons. There are little holes on the bottom of the folded in legs that perfectly fit the Star saber and the blade wing. Tbh it looks really cool.

I actually had the original Armada Starscream when I was little. Unfortunately I lost both of his wings. So I decided to sell it in a garage sale. Glad to see a modern remake of the toy that I once had. Can't wait to get it, myself!

Starscream is honestly my favourite character out of all of Armada, so im definitely picking him up soon.

I’m so happy this guy’s about to join my collection. The Generations Deluxe was…okay. But someone of Armada Starscream’s pedigree deserves a Voyager release. I hope they release a Thundercracker version so we can recreate Starscream’s heroic final attack.

I am such a fan of this guy, I pre-ordered him, and hope a version of him comes out in his Thundercracker-esque color scheme.

Thanks so much!

Ah, Armada Starscream. I remember him for three things. First of all, a terrific characterization. Secondly, AMVs, particularly ones using songs by Bayformers collaborator Linkin Park (a quick KZread search already yielded me more than a few). And finally, the PS2 Armada game I had a long time ago; I could NEVER get past this guy lol. This figure looks fun. If only I am not broke and need the money so I could eat 😂😅

There is good about him, but I would gladly trade that dinky star Saber accessory for a Swindle Minicon. For me, most of the fun of Armada characters was that they had a little partner they could teammup with. Also LOVED collecting the 3 Bot teams,. Those were the days.

I love it! Just wish we could've gotten some Mini-Con compatibility,but I definitely plan on picking him up. Armada is favorite version of Starscream.

Can't wait to see your Inferno review!!!

He looks awesome on the flight stand in robot mode.

5 months later and he's finally hit store shelves in my area. T-30 Starscream was one of the first figures I got when I started collecting again. Armada Starscream is one of my favorite designs, and I really liked the T30 design update. Legacy is more faithful to the original design. As far as robot mode goes, Legacy is mostly better. Articulation is better, except the knee bend isn't as deep due to the gap filler, and the feet can't move up like T30 can. However my copy's torso doesn't stay together very securely, and his hips and waist swivel are pretty loose and will need tightening. One thing T30 does to better is that the horizontal stabilizers collapsed into the shins, whereas they are fixed in place on Legacy. Regarding jet mode, I think I prefer T30. For starters, as seems to be the case with every Legacy Starscream, the legs don't really stay tabbed in. The T30 design looks sleeker, with it's stylized wings and sleeker a nose that sits more parallel with the fuselage (like an F-15), whereas Legacy's nose and cockpit sit higher up (like an Su-35M). T30 actually has a slightly greater wingspan too. Speaking of Su-35M, those "fin sections" are called canards. That Star Saber he comes with is comically small, although it looks pretty good with the smaller T30. Hasbro should make a combining Minicon Star Saber, either as a Deluxe Class priced 3 pack, or sold individually and priced like the Weapons Masters. Could even just reissue the original Minicon set, since that's hard to find and expensive these days. For now t he solution is just to get a 3P Star Saber. Overall I like him. I was really looking forward to him, but he does have some QC issues.

I just want to say that your reviews have gotten much better over the last year or two. I think you're starting to give more nuanced reviews that give us an honest look at the good, the bad, and the ugly of each figure. It really helps in my buying process. Keep up the good work!

You can use the Micromasters from "Transformers: Siege" & "Transformers: Earthrise" to use for minicons they'll work.

Hmm I still have the original star saber minicons somewhere... I wonder if he can hold them... The product shots didn't show what a nice paint & shiny plastic finish he has! Jet mode looks better in-hand too. It may be just me, but he kinda seems like they were using the model from the PS2 Armada themed video game when they designed him rather than the anime? He kept both of his wings while using the sword and had wider proportions to the lithe anime style.

Love Armada Starscream, for now on I'm only making Legacy as my favorite TF line because of Beast Wars and the Unicron Trilogy, nothing else since Prime pretty much brought their G1 mutation stories on themselves lol.

I do wish it came with Swindle, but otherwise an excellent rendition of Armada’s tragic hero.

Finally doing more armada figures! They need to do some energon next!

Oh, yes. Snapping this guy up as soon as I see him. The old Armada Starscream figure is the only figure I have left from my childhood. My nephew also loved playing with him growing up. 😁 Also, so happy to see the wings on mushroom pegs. I feel like there's no way someone won't design an upgrade kit. Looking forward to it. 👍

Can't wait for your Scraphook review mate. Such a tease.

Great reivew! Thank you! Wow, there is some nifty engineering going on here, which leads to a pretty clean jet mode. Still not going to get this figure, since I have no emotional connection to that version of Starscream, but it's just nice to see good work done.

I'm definitely gonna get the Armada Prime. If it has a super mode, then I'll be waiting for Armada Jetfire and overload!

At long last, my favorite character in armada is here. I am so so happy for this. I have the armada SkyWarp version with the minicon swindle. I do kinda wish the Star Saber was a bit bigger, but I am happy for it. Plus, I got what I always wanted, the Minicon Star Saber! I do hope that if we get the armada Megatron version he comes with the Requiem Blaster. As for the armada prime, I hope he comes with the Skyboom shield. Or they release some kit that has the armada Requiem Blaster and Skyboom Shield, because they are absolutely important to the story of the Unicron trilogy. Who knows, maybe we MIGHT get some new Minicons to use

I cannot wait!!! Armada was my first Transformers series and Armada Starscream still holds up as one of the best characters period.

I actually really like this. The head pivot joint does look a bit pants, but the design and engineering on the figure actually looks fresh and interesting. I'll defo consider adding this to my collection. Cheers for the great video!

Armada Starscream looks amazing. I can't wait to collect him.

Uncanny, and truly amazing! On a scale of 1 to 10, this review gets a 20! I'd wanted Hasbro to update Armada Starscream after seeing the first reviews of the original Armada Starscream toy; that one was a little lackluster, especially in regards to the fact that the peg used to hold his wing-sword in robot mode is surprisingly breakable. Either way, can't wait for more Transformers reviews.

I owned the original, and I got to say this is an improvement imo. I am sure there will be an upgrade kit for both the wings/swords as well as the wrists and for once I'd be willing to get it as needing an upgrade to fix what shouldn't need to be fixed usually grinds my gears. While it is cartoon accurate I'm happy to see that they gave you an option to lower that backpack flush with the back itself as it always looked awkward and made Starscream way to back heavy. Looking forward to adding him to my collection.

I just got into Armada recently as it was the Transformers cartoon I watched as a kid, but completely forgot about (only thing I remembered were the Minicons). Someone in a Discord server told me about these Legacy releases and it has me so excited. My wallet is less excited though.

Seriously, this one time I managed to watch the entire series of Armada while balancing a trifle on my nostril. Starscream was still my fav character though.

I'd absolutely love an upscaled version of this engineering as a new G1 Jetfire design. He's not quite perfect but he looks so dynamic in both modes, and I think if he was bumped up to Leader and made a bit larger the minor issues could all be ironed out.

I like the look of this new figure alot, but the Thrilling 30 Armada G2 Starscream was pretty good as well, especially with those fluorescent orange swords, and launching shoulder missiles.

Now THIS is what Earthrise Starscream should’ve been, not a half baked retool that leave a lot to be desired due to it’s limitations from the retooling, but a mold that was made from the ground up so it gives us what we have come to expect from Transformers figures.

Great all we need is a repaint of starscream in thundercracker’s colours along with skywarp too.

Definitely picking him up, loved Armada so much! I hope they do Energon and RID eventually too and add more Cybertron and Armada.

Based on how his legs fold up for jet mode, I’m thinking they could remold this guy in to Starscream from the Transformers Cybertron show.

Just picked this guy up and my god this figure is a 10/10 to me. I love this figure. If i have any complaint or nitpicks, it's just one. I wish he came with Swindle, his minicon.
