As I'm never a fan of Unicron trilogy (see Rodimus), even I ran across this figure before with a really cheap price, I never bothered

picking it up. But this time I have no choice, this Energon Starscream comes with a 4 figures deal. So I took him, transformed him

couple times, took pictures for this review, took out his weapons, and then put him in the to sale box.

 

Starscream's alternate mode is based on the F-22 Raptor, yeah, just like the movie one. TBH, this jet looks terrible. Putting him side

by side with another him in classics, this one can make the classics one looks so good. The robot kibbles are everywhere especially

looking from the bottom. He comes with two huge weapons that are totally out of scale when storing underneath the jet. Good thing

the missiles are missing because as I saw before, the missile are way too long that two third of them are sticking out from the end of

missile slot. He comes with landing gears but because of the thick bottom, the front landing gears has to be very long.

 

The transformation process is actually not too bad and his robot mode, at least, is looking slightly better. He is kind of short but

same does his classics one. He is well balanced and is quite poseable and fun to play with. The wings are configurable that can fold

up besides laying flat. The two huge weapons can either store on the wings or held in both hands or combine to a even bigger one.

Few issues here, first is his elbow and upper arm. Because of trying to fit with the jet mode, the elbow and upper arm just look so

strange. The flat feet don't look good either, but at least they provide some good balance. Then the biggest issue, if not this issue, I

might keep him since he is quite fun in robot mode. It is the jet nose. It just points way too much out and too much down. It makes

the entire robot looks bad and legs looks so short. Too bad just because of this reason ruins my entire feeling of this figure.

 

Transformation: 6 - Not a bad transformation scheme and don't need instruction. He feels fragile during the process, though.

Fun: 7 - If only for robot mode, he is very fun to play with as he as two out of scale weapons, well balanced, and poseable. But for

the jet mode, pass.

Display: 5 - The jet mode just looks terrible. Robot mode actually looks good but I cannot move my eyes away from that jet nose.

Value: 7 - Got him for a deal of 4 figures at $20 from craiglist. Depends on how much I think he worth, I think $4 is reasonable.

Overall: 6 - If he can look better in jet mode, if he does not have that jet nose at the bottom issue, I will keep him. But now I will

sell him but keep his weapons.
