I''m meh with this one, personally, as I only want to buy the mold once and missed Thundercracker when it was in stores but then saw photos of Sunstorm while this one was hitting. I''m thinking of going for some bright yellow jet goodness. I have WWI Optimus who is a bit floppy but really pops off the display shelf with those diecast colors. And Roddie Prime is my only other one right now and he looks great and is solidly built. I returned Fire Convoy because I couldn''t stand the hollow robot legs and cheap plastic firetruck mode. Hits and misses. Here''s hoping Ultra Mag and Cheetor are hits too.

How to fix this figure:
1.Unscrew the torso halves and pop out the head.
2.Wash the head thouroughly with soap and water, rinse and dry.
3.Paint the head with Testors Model master semigloss black, and the face with flat gray, two coats of each (If you paint the indentations on the face black, you can make the face look less fat and puffy).
4. Let the paint dry and re-assemble and enjoy that your Titanium Screamer is better than all your friends''.

I did this on mine because I couldn''t stand looking at that stupid gray head anymore. Now he''s at least even with Thundercracker. Although it''s not really WW Starscream, he can still be a nice figure. Not great, but good for a Titanium. (I had to do this same procedure on my Classics Starscream and it, too looks a hell of a lot better)

I won''t be buying it either. The only Titanium figures I do have are the original Megatron, and Scourge. I want the War Within Optimus Prime, but can''t find it any more. That is really the only one I really want. If push came to shove, I could wait until the WW Magnus came out and pick up two then reapint one into Prime, but I would rather have the Prime. The WW Seekers just don''t cut it. Thiudercracker is close, but Starscream is way off base. If they had simply called it "Cybertronian mode" Starscream, I wouldn''t have a problem. However, calling it War Within Starscream, whewn it clearly isn''t, just kills it for me.

I agree with you Tramp. Which is why I pointed out that I feel Hasbro is just being lazy and taking the cheap way out on this one. At this point, they''re just trying to get max profit yield off the same mold without modifications and they KNOW people will buy this repaint.

While this mold was fine for Thundercracker, since it is at least close to Thundercracker''s War Within design, though not completely accurate, it is not even close to Starscream''s incarnation in the comic. Not only is the robot mode wrong, so is the jet mode. Each of the seekers, and in fact all of the characters in the comic, had completely unique designs and transformations. No two were alike. The only similarities that Starscream, Thundercracker and Skywarp had i either robot or jet mode were cosmetic. First off, Starscream''s forearms are visible in the comic when in jet mode. His verticle stabalizer rests between his shoulders behind his head, not the nose cone. His legs fold up under him in jet mode, and the nose cone, which hangs down behind him in robot mode rotates arond front during transformation. He doesn''t have his verticle stabalizer split and spread outon his upper arms. Only Thundercracker had that. Skywarp''s transformation is even more different since his nose cone covers his head during transformation and his verticle stabalizer is attached to his legs. All three are completley different designs, and need completely different molds. This isn''t like Classics Bumblebee and Cliffjumper, whos designs are almost identical to begin with, and whos transformations were identical, which made making Cliffjumper a repaint of Bumblebee a smart, logical choice. These are radically different designs and transformations, which means that using the same mold for all three characters, or even for two characters, makes no sense. They need their own individual molds which look and transform like their comic counterparts.

I have liked all of the 6 inch molds. Yes it is a shame that we dont probably have more seekers but I am cool with that.

Yeah, I wasn''t sure if I''d like this figure...until I actually got him. The paint apps was one of the things I wasn''t quite sure about...but after painstakingly removing him from his infused plastic tomb (man they use enough twisties!!!) and posing him...I really like this figure! Now we need the remaining Skywarp!

Excellent figure review!

Absolute crap of a Transformer. Terrible mold. Terrible paint apps. I see alot of paint but all in the wrong areas... And the face is horrible, too. This figure is the absolute opposite to WW Prime. It does NO justice to Don''s art and the amazing tale of The War Within...

I would recommend Galaxy Force Starscream instead.
Better mold. Excellent paint job. Nice Energon weapons, too!

At this point, I would just like to get all 7 seekers in a single series. I had my hopes up for classics, but that is obviously notgoing to work. Nice figure though, the head is aggregious.

To be honest, I was hoping for more from this mold. I didn''t know the rear of the jet-mode was THAT bad. In all honesty, the Cybertron Starscream was a lot better than this. Personally, I hope Hasbro or Takara thinks about remaking these again..in plastic and devoting some more effort, time and money to a quality, plastic product.
