The reason why this Starscream is huge is to get the scale of when he absorbed a fraction of Primus' power. This is accurate for Transformers: Cybertron
I never had any problems with my big Starscream. The wings don't pop off, the cannon stays in place, the lights and sounds work. Best of all, he looks great next to my Unicron and Primus!
Hey guys, I took a much closer look at the figure today. Took the entire torso apart and found the electronics. They were in bad shape (and missing the speaker). But a trip to the electronics store and a few hours of work I've got the figure working again. I'll have a follow up video going up soon.
Hello, picked one up a a toy convention for 10 bux, has keys and baton but missing the crown. Found one on ebay for 7 bux. He's complete now but electronics do not work. Have you posted the follow up video you were working on?
+baltmatrix I know what you mean, those sides are a bit of a problem. I think they did that to avoid anybody breaking him because, face it, you have to apply a good amount of force to transform his arms between modes (getting them aligned and getting the feet in front of them is a pain). So I imagine they didn't want anyone breaking his arm joints.I own the Year of the Horse version of that, which I like a lot better. The cannon doesn't pop off on mine, and the color scheme is better for me (the blue is closer to his G1 cartoon colors).
baltmatrix i got mine for 20 something dollers but one of the cyberplanet keys where different and it came with no crown i got it pre owned(nobody cares) ok :(
I have a Starscream figure with this exact molding but he's about the size of a Commander figure. He came in a 4-pack with another Starscream and 2 Bumblebees. I think it was sold around the time ROTF came out. It appears as though this mold has been through some intense growing pains.
I bought Supreme Starscream back in 2006 when I was in college. I wasn't big into Transformers then, but when I happened to be in a local TRU and I saw this big stompy Starscream, I had to get him, even though I didn't even know what Cybertron WAS back then. He was one of only four Transformers buys I made between about '99 and 2007 when the movies brought me back into the fold. XD
@@returnedtomonkey8886 oh wow, eight years on I wish I could tell you! But my memory is a lot foggier now. XD; I know the Armada Supreme Unicron was definitely one of them. An actual Unicron toy was too good to pass up. I genuinely no longer remember what the other two were. XD
I used to think that his key weapons were both swords. cuz if i remember correctly, in the cybertron tv show, when starscream fought using his key gimmicks he would wield his gun as if it was another sword, which always confused the heck out of me. It wasnt until i actually saw the toy that i realised it was a cannon.
In the show one of Starscream's swords is bitten off by Leobreaker, and later on he uses the Omega Lock to make himself huge, and it replaces his broken sword with a big cannon. There are two Starscream toys, the Voyager one which was a Toys R Us exclusive in the U.S., and the Supreme Starscream toy which you see here.
I think i was only able to watch the series up until shortly after the beast planet, so that might have been part of my confusion, that and the fact that I was trying to recall something from about 10 years ago. So thank you and pardon my confusion and mis-remembering
I remember when it first came out my mom got it at the store for me. I've had it ever since and I only lost the purple gun thing, the crown, and the two back tail fins. Pretty lit. Sounds still work too.
Don't you remember from G1? Starscream could have taken on this form when he was finally rid of Megatron (who had been converted to Galvatron by the time Starscream is shown with that exact same crown).
The US voyager version was only available with the 2-pack with vector prime. Due to its smaller size, it was much more stable. It also came with two swords and not a sword and a blaster for its cyber key weapons. The big problems: Due to vector prime, the set cost 25-30 dollars rather than the roughly 15 dollars of other voyagers. The colors were very inaccurate, being a dull red-brown instead of red and white. He was significantly smaller than other "voyagers", reaching only 3/4 the size of the regular voyager vector prime.
I have this figure too, with all the awesome lights and sounds. Yes you should be jealous. The cyber key activated cannon comes flying off mine too, I also lost my mistle many many moons ago.. For distinct lack of poseability it's still one of my favourite figures and I doubt I'd ever get rid of it (except maybe for another mp-01 which I sold prematurely at a massive discount, or an mp-09 or mp-10)..
agreeded... King starscream was badass and was one of the few starscreams that could actually take on megatron in both skill and power and actually kept his cards to his chest until the proper moments and also I know u remember how big he was...about the same size as primus's head while optimus at most was the size of his eye
This figure was recently rereleased as the Year of the Horse Starscream figure. I've only ever known one Toys R Us that had it in stock. There's a Chipotle near that Toys R Us. I have the voyager class toy of Cybertron Starscream, but i got it at the local Goodwill that I used to work at where I also got a bunch of other Transformers on the exact same day.
I know this video is old but wanted to comment. I've had mine since it was originally released and I still have him. I do not have a single issue with the wings/arms popping off the pegs, or the cannon or sword coming off when deploy'd... I even let my 3 kids play with it and they don't/haven't broke anything on him.
I didn't have any 12oz cans to compare size, but I'm glad you used Supertrain Megazord, since that is the only Megazord I have, and it's the tallest figure on my Mega Mecha Shelf.
The Supreme version is actually an up-scaled version of the original Galaxy Force toy. The original Galaxy Force toy was repainted three times. The first repaint was in a Toys R Us two-pack with Vector Prime(2005). The second repaint was Universe 2.0 Dirge (2008). The third and final repaint was Botcon 2008 Shattered Glass Starscream (2008). The Supreme version was never at all. It was an American exclusive figure. It was repainted one time as Platinum Edition Year of the Horse Starscream (2014).
When I was a kid I had the same one but with the sounds and I remember how loud it was. I used to keep it in a huge box with all of my other transformers and sometimes it would randomly go off at night scare the crap out of me lol. On another note it's strange that you say only the japanese version had sounds cause I am from Canada and I had one even though my parents didn't buy it from Japan.
I have a soundwave-esque transformer thats pretty similar to this. The reason i say soundwave esque is because it has a chest cavity for a buzzbeak or some other robobird or a blaster
Lucky! I'm always looking for transformers toys at second hand stors but I always mess with them a bit for complete figures. Once found the armada black optimus nemisis prime but both arms wer missing.
I bought the year of the horse edition of this figure. I prefer the colors everywhere on the year of the horse edition except the cockpit. I wish it was purple
I have King Starscream. My grandma got it in ohio for 50 cents and he was a complete figure I have the crown, two cyber planet keys and the neuron blaster missle. pretty freaking good deal if you ask me
I'll admit i didn't know he could hold both his keys in his back but when i deploy the cannon on mine it has never launched off so i was suprised when i saw yours go flying like that, but i don't know if it was because your was second hand or not as i got mine from my local toy shop when Transformers Cybertron was released.
Man i have a KO version of this guy in G1 colors and he is awesome. But he is voyager size thanks china.At least the crown is nice and can be on heads of other figures. :)
He's the same height as Unicron and is actually about 2 inches taller than Primus. They really should've made Primus bigger since he's supposed to be a Supreme-class toy. Honestly, Leader-class Metroplex is taller than Primus.
1. the lights and sounds were not removed from the Hasbro version. 2. I don't know what version you have but it is not the Hasbro version; I have the Hasbro version and It does not have shiny red paint, this may be the camera/lighting as well but I am not sure.
I must have the Japan one I bought it at a car boot sale but I don’t have the crown or the keys to open the weapons up but I do have the sounds working
I use this guy as “the master Mould”, yes, like in X-Men, but instead of sentinels, this is where all the seekers came from. And yes, i know its a 10-year-old video…
Yes. Primus was using his sparks power (or whatevs) to close a black hole or something, Starscream jumped in the way and turned obscenely big after absorbing a bunch of energy. He wants more so he tries to take down Primus, the autobots throw up a shield to buy time to fix things so Primus can fight. They succeed and Primus literally moons him by lassoing the two moons over and whipping them at him.
I'm almost positive mine had lights and sounds and I bought it in New England. Sadly I don't know what happened to it (I know, how do you lose something so huge).
I've been overthing do you think just putting on the shelf with his crown and standing all and kingly will be just worth not getting a entirely new firgure to get the cannon. The crown is on ebay but not the cannon.

still doesn't make it less dumb
Nah, he just got Kiryu's voice actor and got the buff through that. Essence of Ambition if you will
This is literally the only transformer I’ve ever owned, and it’s awesome!

yo dawg I heard you like projectiles so we made your cannon a projectile so you can shoot while you shoot!
the projectile *IS* the cannon.

Dude i had this toy! So many memories of this thing.
This guy is impressive and one the best Screamers Ive seen but I think it would have been far better as a Megatron. The crown is a nice touch too.

Yep, it definitely is my favorite TF series to this date!
us version does have electronics, which i can confirm because i own it. it was the voyager version that got gutted stateside
The one thing Starscram almost became before Galvatron intervened:
these transformers are much nicer than the newer ones
i regretted not picking up this toy when i had the chance two
i got one myself. i got mine a few years ago mint in box for 50. yes a bit much but it was a con and i still love him

Hey did anyone else notice that he kinda looks like jetfire in plane mode?
I agree
the inertia of the main body is strong enough to make the parts come off when pulling on it

he's an aerodynamic brick
In the show there was one point where he had the brown and became bigger than he originally was.
hahaha! I love the transition, " ARGH!!!!! THS STUPID THING WONT STAY TOGETHER!!!!!! ... anyway, I love this figure'' .
This was my very first transformer I got
got mine in toys r us back in the day, and ill never let it go. the UK release had lights and sounds too. though, there crap!!
I have this Starscream and it is the best nothing wrong with it and it’s huge
If wings coming unnecessarily, well you had a option
Glue them!
I just got this guy on eBay for 90 bucks but it was so worth it
I have a soundwave-esque transformer thats pretty similar to this. The reason i say soundwave esque is because it has a chest cavity for a buzzbeak or some other robobird or a blaster
I'm getting him and Primus next month for my birthday I'm excited
I remember when I received Supreme Starscream as my 18th birthday with Cybertron Optimus Prime. For me that figure was a wasted potential.
This is my favorite of all my transformers. But somehow I lost the monster!
I agree with you 100% Spada, the figure fails in many ways, but I still love it!
If HasTak wouldn't do Commander Class Cybertron Emperor Starscream, I hope they would re-release this hunk of beauty 🙂
who thinks they should remold this into blackshadow
hey my son has one since 2005 and still has itbut also says to rip the wings off first before transforming it into star scream
Word of the day: ginormous.
ok I have this figure and I remember his HAVING lights and sounds, so the person that gave you that one must have taken you the speakers and batts
Oof 2023 me got mine for $70 complete and that was a good deal. Looks great with primus though
Prime riding Starscream... Coming in Transformers 5
6:11
I was hoping for that comparison. lol
That is one awesome Starscream figure.
Someone I know used superglue, I think, to solve the bits from falling off the arms
Legacy Cybertron Starscream upcoming
great video man. I just picked this up today at Goodwill for $4!
Lucky! I'm always looking for transformers toys at second hand stors but I always mess with them a bit for complete figures. Once found the armada black optimus nemisis prime but both arms wer missing.
I have the American version, but it has lights and sounds. They aren't bad.
Whoever previously owned yours must have been exceedingly rough with it. I've never had a single thing pop off of mine, and the electronics work fine.
Very cool. Not easy to get one of these now a days
My son just got that gifted to him from his cousin and we got it for free it’s also a Japanese version . It’s awsome👌
How come 95% of the FOC toy line was deluxe class?
I bought the year of the horse edition of this figure. I prefer the colors everywhere on the year of the horse edition except the cockpit. I wish it was purple
I have King Starscream. My grandma got it in ohio for 50 cents and he was a complete figure I have the crown, two cyber planet keys and the neuron blaster missle. pretty freaking good deal if you ask me

In light of the Year of the Horse announcement? *hint hint, nudge nudge*
optimus was teabagging starscreams head
he looks as big as Optimal Optimus from beast wars! that and Primus and Unacron witch he did get as big as them in the show.
He's the same height as Unicron and is actually about 2 inches taller than Primus. They really should've made Primus bigger since he's supposed to be a Supreme-class toy. Honestly, Leader-class Metroplex is taller than Primus.
two of them at my local toys r us LOL I am so tempted.
I have the Japanese version of all of Megatron/Galvatron & Starscream Unicron Trilogy Toys
i think i had the voyager one. darker colours, two swords and no crown or poseable torso cannons

Starscream is awesome . Great review 😊 .
This shows what Starscream could have been in G1 if Galvatron hadn't appeared before the end of his coronation.
I was hoping for the comparison to be done with Bragigas in any of its forms.
always wanted this figure
I have the Japanese figure,I got it from a collector shop.Sadly mine came with everything except for the cyber key.
I use this guy as “the master Mould”, yes, like in X-Men, but instead of sentinels, this is where all the seekers came from.
And yes, i know its a 10-year-old video…
Make toys Galaxy meteor is pretty awesome it's essentially a masterpiece of this you should check it out
I used to have one just like that one, I think the matrix cannon has design flaw, the one I had also the same issues.
oh no look out star scream has pulled out his butter knife
if I'm remembering correctly he fights Cybertron after it transforms into primus right?
Yes. Primus was using his sparks power (or whatevs) to close a black hole or something, Starscream jumped in the way and turned obscenely big after absorbing a bunch of energy. He wants more so he tries to take down Primus, the autobots throw up a shield to buy time to fix things so Primus can fight.

I'm almost positive mine had lights and sounds and I bought it in New England. Sadly I don't know what happened to it (I know, how do you lose something so huge).
You should try Super-gluing the wings and cannon on!!!! :)
I got one of these bad boys as a child, but my loser cousin probably sold it. I miss it sooo much. But one day I will have a child myself 😁😁
He's actually a head taller then TFC Hercules
BALT, BALT!!! CALM DOWN!! WE DO NOT NEED ANOTHER REPEAT OR *Shudders* ugh... the studio series bumblebee D:
exactly same as my legion class starscream

Baltmatrix i just want to know why you never have reviewed Cybertron/Galaxy Force Thunderblast/Chromia is it because she is a shellformer?
Just supreme class starscream
Holy shit that's huge
next time you do a combiner wars combination video compare it please
That looks like Star Wars
Super-glue what isn't meant to come off. That's what I do aaaaaand 0 problems.
This reminded me of gosei ultimate.
im missing his foot * point of the plane. just half!!!*
yes!
Of course starscream is my king
