We’re back to share another Transformers toy gallery with you, and next up, it’s Robots in Disguise Starscream! A Toys R Us exclusive as a part of the second year of the Clash of the Transformers subline, Starscream is a part of an assortment with a redeco Power Surge Optimus Prime and Beast Wars Scorponok homage Paralon.
Starscream as a toy is good, and fun to mess around with. He’s got a good range of articulation, and it is all largely uninhibited, except that the shoulders occasionally catch on the wings. The robot mode looks great, and I’m particularly fond of how the wings sweep back from the shoulders like a cape. The overall look is a hybrid of Animated and Classics Starscream, with a few cues from Starscream’s 1986 coronation look thrown in. The transformation is fun and straightforward, but also has some clever moment, such as how the wings wrap around. The shoulders and arms do stay stuck out of the side of the jet – the tops of the shoulders are more visible in some angles than others, and the arms peg in with the hands tucked away so you can say they are engines, but ultimately those parts do kind of just hang there.
Overall, Starscream is a solid figure in the Robots in Disguise Warrior class and one who I’ve enjoyed playing with. He’s not the absolute best figure in the size class, but he is a lot of fun as a desk toy to pick up and fiddle with. Check out our gallery to see what you think of him:
