I'm not sure why they completely left out the blaster he used to shoot down Optimus. Dumb, dumb, dumb. For their F-up I hope Hasbro can make it up and send that missing piece to those that make a purchase.
He looks great! Nitpick: the lower legs are two-tone and should be one color. The pictures next to the seeker show that we need a studio series starscream ASAP. That mold was not that great when it came out and is not aging well, in my opinion.
