i wasn't pleased at all with megatron and i suffered through bumblebee and cliffjumper but they looked good with my alternators. but THIS one... i like the car and the 'bot mode. i would just rather have a skywarp for sentimental reasons.
Got one of these at a Comic-Con. It's still mint in-box. Figured I would keep it more like a collector since it's a Japanese figure. Came here cuz I wanted to see the transformation sequence.
I love this figure, i love his head sculpt. Skywarp is very underwhelming and Mr Vangelus i shall send you a hamper with hams, cheeses and at least one bottle of sherry for such a fine review!
I call him Waspiscreamer because he looks like a fusion between Starscream and Waspinator with the bug-like eyes and the chest that looks like a bug's head. Reminds me of the episode where Starscream took over Waspinator's body. Could this perhaps be a fanservice to Beast Wars fans? XD
Nice review man, Starscream for some reason really looks cool. even with the odd choices for him. Alternity has some freakin awesome back stories on these characters.
@autobotrockstar2 I don't think it sounded overly stiff myself, but it was cut down from an initial runtime of ~16 min. That may have caused a tonal discrepancy which affected your experience. D:
Orochi's engine is in the middle, so there isn't much in the front. On the other hand, that just makes the emptiness in the back a lot more disappointing. :/
Not gonna lie , this design would've worked great for a movie transformer figure , switch the head redo the back kibble and we have a great character design , maybe this could've been used for TLK Drift .
Is Convoy asking for the 'Holy Floating Head' to save him just a refrence to your Dragonzord review or is there a deeper thing there? I just thought in the original he was refering to Zordon. Nice review as always!
The more I looked at the head the more it made me think of the animated Starscream head with bugeyes, maybe Waspinator and Starscream got spliced together somehow?
The alternate vehicle mode, whice is too diffucult for me to attempt to type, looks somewhat organic with the smooth lines and holes everywhere. It is near erection worthy, in the honest opinion of this individual.
I think these seekers have a pretty interesting design, and I don't know anything about cars. And for those who say ""not Starscream", I respect your opinion. But if you think about it, the "robots in disguise" line doesn't exactly work with military vehicles. Sports cars are a lot more common in public.
Ø555Ø Head look a bit like Cobra, I mean the "ears" part. I don't know how you do the voice and animation. BUT ITS REALLY COOL! I like it. Same like the GN-Archer. Man, you good.
I actually really like the look of this one, in both robot and car mode (the flying mode seems kinda silly with the tiny wings XD). When I saw it in car mode I though maybe a bit of blue would go well, but it wouldn't suit the robot mode :P
Everything you said, Vange1us... 100% AGRREEMENT!!! -Weird but acceptable head, keeps with the aesthetic of weird bug eye headlights everywhere -Giger Aesthetic... it's a car... it's got lots of bug looking bits... it's Biomechanoid which is very appropriate considering these are giant sentient robots. -Those wings really really really should line up... I think it would've easy to have them "silhouette" almost symmetrically... but alas they look unlevel and less perceivable as actual wings.
Did Starscream just _"De-evolve"_ Alternity Convoy? Ostensibly that's what he's doing. I have no idea what Retroactive Nullifiers actually do and even then I would probably have to learn about as-of-yet nonexistent aspects of science to understand how they do what they do. Anyone?
@clayonicle i know man, but what storyline are you guys seeing? i know the color isnt meant to be right but lets be honest, thats not starscream lol. ITS NOT REAL!
O_O I'm glad I was going for Alternity Bee/Cliff. He's an interesting toy, but I prefer the MP seekers. Still, I have to give props to Takara for the complex engineering on this guy :3
You'd make a good sales rep. :D Nice review. Megatron is fearless now. :D Flying car mode like in Mask. lol Full of flaws but what more can we do. Good point on the fake car hood. Just like animated bumblebee. I don't see the point of having them do that.
oh my unicron you're right optimus always thinks Mr.screamer are an coward so they make an remix of them 1.the head is an mix of Mr.prime and Mr.screamer as you said 2.they are both able to fly ......... wait what Mr.prime can't fly .....OH wait (more then meets the eye episiode 4) WOW i am realy grudges.
The whole review felt like one of your narrated montages but in a bad way. I don't know but it didn't feel right to me. Am I insane or is there just something I'm missing?
@Vange1us i was being exaggerated for comedic effect there are some of your reviews that weren't as amazing like say Kamen rider week which was fahmazing even though i had no interest in kamen rider then!
Great review :) ...Not so great a toy tho imo. This would have to be one of the few starscream figures i wouldn't be tempted to get. Starscream, as a car, just dosent work. End of story.
i wasn't pleased at all with megatron and i suffered through bumblebee and cliffjumper but they looked good with my alternators. but THIS one... i like the car and the 'bot mode. i would just rather have a skywarp for sentimental reasons.
Same
I love this vehicle mode, it a simply beautiful car. Strictly on the lines it is beautiful, I have no ideas about performance and Geiger car is GOOD!
Got one of these at a Comic-Con. It's still mint in-box. Figured I would keep it more like a collector since it's a Japanese figure. Came here cuz I wanted to see the transformation sequence.
WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT?!?! HIS CAR MODE RULES SO HARD!!!!!!
He got cool jet modes and awesome car mode, I wish they add blue and red
Carscream.. HAHAHAHA!
I love this figure, i love his head sculpt. Skywarp is very underwhelming and Mr Vangelus i shall send you a hamper with hams, cheeses and at least one bottle of sherry for such a fine review!
I think that's a rear engine car.
I call him Waspiscreamer because he looks like a fusion between Starscream and Waspinator with the bug-like eyes and the chest that looks like a bug's head. Reminds me of the episode where Starscream took over Waspinator's body. Could this perhaps be a fanservice to Beast Wars fans? XD
I feel that your transformation this time was more clear than it has been in the past. Keep it up!
Nice review man, Starscream for some reason really looks cool. even with the odd choices for him. Alternity has some freakin awesome back stories on these characters.
@autobotrockstar2 I don't think it sounded overly stiff myself, but it was cut down from an initial runtime of ~16 min. That may have caused a tonal discrepancy which affected your experience. D:
these toys are something else. doubt we’ll ever see anything like them ever again
Orochi's engine is in the middle, so there isn't much in the front. On the other hand, that just makes the emptiness in the back a lot more disappointing. :/
Not gonna lie , this design would've worked great for a movie transformer figure , switch the head redo the back kibble and we have a great character design , maybe this could've been used for TLK Drift .
it seems like a thundercraker mold maybe the one to get. just because of the color and they way it accents this robot mode.
Nice take on the Chris Latta StarScream voice. Points earned.
The car is a v6 that will do 0-60 in 5.7 sec and 152mph I guess that's not bad for 2006-2007. I personally like this car
Is this mitsuoka orochi?
I think some paint work could totes improve the head. I think the sculpt is great, it looks like the paint and piping is what makes it odd.
Is Convoy asking for the 'Holy Floating Head' to save him just a refrence to your Dragonzord review or is there a deeper thing there? I just thought in the original he was refering to Zordon.
Nice review as always!
I really love your transformation background music. It's as though I'm being electrocuted.
Yet another epic review, man! Loved it!
The "trunk" is the engine, the "hood" is the trunk. The engine is in the rear.
The more I looked at the head the more it made me think of the animated Starscream head with bugeyes, maybe Waspinator and Starscream got spliced together somehow?
@ronin180x They have not yet been reviewed
it's really cool and looks good... just not as Starscream
The alternate vehicle mode, whice is too diffucult for me to attempt to type, looks somewhat organic with the smooth lines and holes everywhere. It is near erection worthy, in the honest opinion of this individual.
Great review. Thanks to you, I changed my preorder to Skywarp. (And you are right that car does look amazing, let the haters hate!)
Oh god, the scene in the middle with Convoy and Starscream made me laugh. HARD. XD
You are not the only Vangelus! The I find miksuoka orochi a quite attractive vehicle.
I think these seekers have a pretty interesting design, and I don't know anything about cars.
And for those who say ""not Starscream", I respect your opinion. But if you think about it, the "robots in disguise" line doesn't exactly work with military vehicles. Sports cars are a lot more common in public.
love the car mode
Ø555Ø
Head look a bit like Cobra, I mean the "ears" part.
I don't know how you do the voice and animation.
BUT ITS REALLY COOL!
I like it.
Same like the GN-Archer.
Man, you good.
have you seen the banzai tron Repaint of this?
That is not an HR Giger car. It doesn't have anything even remotely shaped like a phallus attached to it.
@forgotten1103 Aiee I was hoping maybe the flight mode troubles were just on mine :(
I actually really like the look of this one, in both robot and car mode (the flying mode seems kinda silly with the tiny wings XD). When I saw it in car mode I though maybe a bit of blue would go well, but it wouldn't suit the robot mode :P
that looks cool, when did this toy line come out an were are they sold?
Everything you said, Vange1us... 100% AGRREEMENT!!!
-Weird but acceptable head, keeps with the aesthetic of weird bug eye headlights everywhere
-Giger Aesthetic... it's a car... it's got lots of bug looking bits... it's Biomechanoid which is very appropriate considering these are giant sentient robots.
-Those wings really really really should line up... I think it would've easy to have them "silhouette" almost symmetrically... but alas they look unlevel and less perceivable as actual wings.
Holy shit. Who did the voice for Startscream? That was the closest Ive heard to the original.
What car is he
late to the game but I'm grabbing this on ebay, if it's available....
A flying car mode? How droll!
(I never get tired of using that ref!)
Nice review, Vangelus.
I agree it's a really cool looking car
@TheAmazingAitch Hamper cheeses are badass
@mariobros2772 Thank you!
@narutoman876 It's perfectly valid to not enjoy a vid I make, that's the nature of opening one's media up for public discussion :)
I like the Vehicle Mode too !!! I like more Skywarp and cant wait for Thundercracker !!
so you do have the megs and prime so when will to reveiw them or have i missed it ????
Forgive my stupidity but What Prime figure was that after Starscream shot alternity convoy?
so... if i were to buy an alternity, which one should i start with?
@dude851884 Check out some Alternity tech specs, they totally got paradoxes covered
Great review! I don't like Starscream's head so i'll get Skywarp instead.
@isaaccb You are the highlander
@Vange1us ok sorry for bad English i can wait till you do
Great Review.
PS: I like the car mode, too.
Did Starscream just _"De-evolve"_ Alternity Convoy? Ostensibly that's what he's doing. I have no idea what Retroactive Nullifiers actually do and even then I would probably have to learn about as-of-yet nonexistent aspects of science to understand how they do what they do.
Anyone?
@Vange1us
IT'S LIKE I'M REALLY LISTENING TO G1 AUDIO!
i really love this design, if i could afford it, i would buy it in a second
XD
@ShadowXZeos Starscream was me w/ a pitch shift and then a pile of fx tweaks
It looks better as Banzaitron. I want that Banzaitron so much
wow awesome review. i will pick this one up at botcon. i will see you there
@clayonicle i know man, but what storyline are you guys seeing? i know the color isnt meant to be right but lets be honest, thats not starscream lol. ITS NOT REAL!
This alienates starscream fans
O_O I'm glad I was going for Alternity Bee/Cliff.
He's an interesting toy, but I prefer the MP seekers. Still, I have to give props to Takara for the complex engineering on this guy :3
Should I get this or the rally car GT-R Megatron?
@rememberjiraya Props props, I wasn't sure if anyone else saw it either XD
@Vange1us What about now? =3
it's weird to see starscream not being a jet
does anyone notice that scary face in vehicle mode
duggerboo oh my goodness that's Wired !!!!!!!
They're called bucket seats
It'd doe's look great when you get over he not a jet I would get if I could I really like it.
Having a windshield on his wings just doesn't work for me.
@AdamDMurray Hahaha that's amazing
Well now we know why Megatron keeps failing...Alternity Starscream
wow awesome video. i might pick this up at botcon. i will see you there
it's the delorean from back to the future .... exept it's not an delorean ........ohhh nouuo.
his face reminds me of the the symble for Kamen Rider Kuuga O _O
i like ur tastes in artist who doesnt like giger he made the alien
@pizzaking2189 hybrid convoy. or ths-02
You'd make a good sales rep. :D Nice review. Megatron is fearless now. :D
Flying car mode like in Mask. lol
Full of flaws but what more can we do.
Good point on the fake car hood. Just like animated bumblebee. I don't see the point of having them do that.
Why does this video make me feel like Im watching a cheesy ghost show
i think it looks cool! xD the car mode that is
i think it cool looking car mode
He looks like some Shrine Maiden.
Why the shit do you people sound surprised thats this is a good review?
IT"S FUCKING VANGELUS OF COURSE ITS GOING TO BE GOOD!!!
oh my unicron you're right optimus always thinks Mr.screamer are an coward so they make an remix of them 1.the head is an mix of Mr.prime and Mr.screamer as you said 2.they are both able to fly ......... wait what Mr.prime can't fly .....OH wait (more then meets the eye episiode 4) WOW i am realy grudges.
why dose the car have eyes
It's meant to look organic and resemble a dragon
Vehicle mode is boring, but Robot mode kicks ass!
This should have been tracks
The whole review felt like one of your narrated montages but in a bad way. I don't know but it didn't feel right to me. Am I insane or is there just something I'm missing?
@Vange1us Idk. Well anyway good review all the same. Keep em' comin!!!
that car has a rear engine
@Vange1us i was being exaggerated for comedic effect there are some of your reviews that weren't as amazing like say Kamen rider week which was fahmazing even though i had no interest in kamen rider then!
@shredBucketheadshred Augh friggin crazy ass backwards cars, I leave this to more automotive gentlemen D:
Nice vehicle mode sucky robot mode
car mode good robot mode is painfull to look at
Put super glue on the ball joints to tighten them up :)
Great review :)
...Not so great a toy tho imo. This would have to be one of the few starscream figures i wouldn't be tempted to get. Starscream, as a car, just dosent work. End of story.
