looks like sh!7.
i hadn't seen this toy before now and only through boredom happened to see it now after having followed the link here because i voted "NO" in the latest "worth buying?" poll. Also, i only voted "NO" because 1 other person had already done so. Usually i'd vote on the "don't give a fat rats' crack" option on account of my genuine lack of interest but i couldn't interrupt the "clean sweep" aspect of the current poll (100% is 100% no matter how you stand). I'll leave that to someone who gives a f#@K.

so, size class= Commander? what does that equal in ye olde spake?

Slightly-lame Basic/Scout/non-autotransforming-Activator size. A small step up from a Legend (which are now called Cyberverse Legions).

Yeah, Commander is the new Basic/Scout ... only $3-5 more expensive (only in AU... US RRP remains the same as Scout ). It's not a bad size class - we've had some gems like Powerglide and Guzzle... but I see no reason why the Australian RRP had to be jacked up.

I saw this toy in stores yesterday and I'm not convinced. The jet mode looks particularly lame in the stock photos. On the plus side it does have a show-like red crest spike (whereas it's grey on the Deluxe; although if that sort of thing really bugs you you could just reprolabel your Deluxe ).

Bought on sight. This is the only TFP Starscream toy that comes with the null rays, and the robot mode looks wicked.

Picked this up yesterday and I really quite liked it.
Simple, intuitive transformation and the jet mode really doesn't look as bad as stock photos make it feel.

Hi lcz, if it's not too much trouble could you please post a pic of Deluxe FE Starscream using the Commanders class toys null rays? I'd love to see this.

Unlike the legion class, Cyberverse Commanders have stronger plastic for the weapons that won't bend, which is a pleasant improvement.

Partner bought this for me yesterday. He's pretty nifty, the bot mode being the highlight.

It's not an easy design to translate in toy form so I think they've done about as good a job as they could at this size. The only disappointment is the kibble on his arms, but overall it looks like Starscream from the show, can't ask for much more than that! :-)

As i will be collecting the Cyberverse version of TFP, it's an easy yes for me. Although the price (as usual) is quite a ripoff here in Aus.
