[[Image:Classic Transformers Vol1.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Classic Transformers Volume 1]]
From 2008 to 2010, [[IDW Publishing]] reprinted old issues of the Marvel's original [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|G1 comic]] in full-color trade paperback omnibuses with a cover price of $19.99. Each volume collects a sequential series of issues, with text summaries by [[Stuart Denyer]] replacing those issues featuring Marvel-owned characters such as [[Spider-Man]] or [[Circuit Breaker (G1)|Circuit Breaker]].

In 2011, after the reprint series was finished, IDW published under the Classic Transformers banner digital single copies of the first 16 issues of the Marvel US series, excluding issues 3 and 9 (which featured Marvel-owned characters). IDW created a separate website (now defunct) for these issues, and they remain available at IDW's digital comics store and digital comics retailers such as Google Play and Comixology.

In 2009, a CD-ROM collection was released in collaboration with Graphic Imaging Technology, collecting issues #1-29, minus any comics with Marvel owned characters.
{{Note|In volume 5, Marvel gave permission to reprint issues with Circuit Breaker. Why they denied permission for earlier volumes is unknown.}}

Relatives

2021-11-05T01:13:34Z

FoundFaker: Added a space for consistency.

[[File:PrimeDirective4 Cover SunstreakerSideswipe.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|"You, Artist! Make me shinier!"]]
Throughout the [[Transformer]]s multiverse are many Transformers who consider themselves family and refer to each other as such. The most common case is when two Transformers regard each other as siblings. Transformers even occasionally express familial relationships with non-Transformers.

Given that Transformers are not organic life and likely do not [[Reproduction|reproduce sexually]], the origin, distinction, and exact meaning of many of these terms is frequently unclear.

Notably, a lot of Japanese-originated continuities have significant amounts of sibling relationships.

==Possible explanations==
The [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] ''[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More Than Meets The Eye]]'' guide provides a partial possible answer. According to the guide, when a [[spark]] naturally splits as it's being introduced to a [[protoform]], it creates two robots who are "brothers", (or [[twin]]s), such as Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. When such a spark division is artificially induced, the less balanced and self-reliant pair created are referred to as [[Cloning|"clones"]]. (This definition of "brother" may or may not apply to [[Optimus Prime (RID)|RID Prime]] and [[Ultra Magnus (RID)|Magnus]], whose brotherhood was said to result from the special circumstance of having been created simultaneously by [[Alpha Trion (RID)|Alpha Trion]]).

However, the "[[Beast Era]]" widened the issue of reproduction with [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]] referring to his "great-aunt" [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] and in general the practice of [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] referring to the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s as their respective "ancestors", as well as themselves as being their "descendants", implying a direct [[DNA|genetic]] (for want of a better term) lineage. Various sources of debatable [[canon]]icity suggest that [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] is specifically descended from [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], usually through the phrase "his ancestor Optimus Prime". In the absence of [[Reproduction#Sexual reproduction|sexual reproduction]], the use and meaning of these genealogical references is difficult to explain. One possible explanation might be a situation such as when [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] is brought to life. Her spark and protoform are heavily damaged, and [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] allows some of his parts to be used as replacements while [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] guides the procedure. {{storylink|The Spark}} To compare to [[human]] procedures, this is something like assisting with childbirth and donating blood or organs. It seems unlikely that this happened enough to cause two large societies to consider themselves "descendants" of two other large ancient societies.

Other family designations exist as well. [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] has "parents" who were lost in his crash on [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintessa]], according to [[The Story of Wheelie, the Wild Boy of Quintesson|some background material]]. The Mini-Con [[Twirl (Armada)|Twirl]] very specifically calls [[Falcia]] her "mother" (which Falcia ''hates'') and seems to treat [[Redline]] like a father, since the two's spark frame energies went into constructing her [[Structure|physical form]]. {{storylink|Linkage Part 7}} In the ''Armada'' cartoon, [[Side Swipe (Armada)|Side Swipe]] refers to [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] as his brother after Hot Shot saves his life, suggesting at least an understanding of the concept; on the other hand, the ''Armada'' cartoon is originally Japanese, and in [[Japan]], 'brother' and 'sister' can be used as terms of affection or respect to an unrelated person. The [[Unicron Trilogy]] universe has also used the term "cousin" for certain Transformers on occasion. The [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (manga)|''Victory'' manga]] from the Japanese Generation 1 era features Decepticon wives and children. Even the [[Transformers (film)|live-action movie]] features an [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]] and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] who are brothers, and it is mentioned in [[Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|the related Nintendo DS game]] that Megatron "took the spark" of their father.

The case of [[Hydra (G1)|Hydra]] and [[Buster (G1)|Buster]] from [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity]] is rare as they were originally human siblings before being converted into Transformers by [[Devil Z]]. {{storylink|Battle to the Death!! God Ginrai VS Darkwings Reborn}}{{storylink|The Birth of the Super Life-Forms}} Similar things happen to the case of [[Primus]] and [[Unicron]], who were originally astral being before they got trapped in planetoids and converted their "vessels" into planet-size Transformers. {{storylink|Transformers: The Ultimate Guide}}

In the [[Dreamwave Generation One continuity|Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity]], [[Getaway]] remarks that his proto-hatcher would have been proud of him for making the most wanted list. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.2|The Age of Wrath #2}}

The [[2005 IDW continuity]] has [[Ratchet (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ratchet]] mentioning that his "''batch proto-initiator '''told''' me there'd be moments like this''...", when he was wondering if he should take the humans and investigate the bunker in Nebraska. {{storylink|Infiltration issue 3|Infiltration #3}} Later, [[Minimus Ambus]] described [[Dominus Ambus]] as his "spark-brother" and confirmed that they were members of the [[House|House of Ambus]]. {{storylink|Remain in Light 2 of 5: House of Ambus|House of Ambus}}

In ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Transformers Animated]]'', [[Ironhide (Animated)|Ironhide]] mentions that [[Brawn (Animated)|Brawn]] is ''"his brother from another batch proto-initiator''..." {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II}}

*'''Starscream''' (Decepticon Jet, 1984/1985/1986/1990)
**''Takara ID number:'' '''22'''
**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, 2 missile launchers, 2 null-rays, 2 cluster bombs, left & right wings, left & right tail fins, left & right tail wings, landing gear

: Starscream's first toy began life as "Jet Robo" from the ''[[Diaclone]]'' line, transforming into a grey, red and blue F-15 Eagle fighter jet. To transform Starscream, one must essentially take most of his plane parts off and transform his body, then reattach most of plane parts on again, along with the addition of two blue fists. If you don't mind being fiddly, though, transformation can certainly be achieved by only removing the fists, weapons and landing gear (which can store in Starscream's cockpit). Owing to the modular nature of his design and the fact that it is impossible to store all the parts in either mode, it can be quite difficult to find an intact original set of this toy.

:Starscream is armed with a pair of missile launchers that mount on his arms in robot mode, and under his wings in jet mode, with a pair of specialized projectiles for each. In jet mode, two short "[[cluster bomb]]" projectiles are fitted into the launchers to make them resemble the drop tanks a real F-15 carries, while in robot mode, they are replaced with the long barrels of Starscream's [[null-ray]]s. The original ''Diaclone'' version of the mold featured spring-loaded firing mechanisms in these launchers; while this feature was removed for the [[Hasbro]] release of the toy, it was left intact for the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] version, and all subsequent reissues.

:The ''Diaclone'' version of the Starscream mold featured tailfins with solid tips and solid fists, and both these features carried over to the earliest ''Transformers'' releases. Soon, however, the ''Transformers'' mold was modified to add hollow tips to the fins, and tabs to the insides of the fists to allow them to hold onto his arms tighter, resulting in a visible slit on either side of each one. These altered versions became the standard for all subsequent reissues of the mold. Like all his 1984 brethren, a [[rubsign]] was added to Starscream in 1985.

:The Italian release of Starscream (as "Astrum") by [[GiG]] put him in a generic "Distructor Planes" box, featuring names and tech specs for all three planes in the assortment.

: Starscream's mold was [[redeco]]ed into the concurrently-available [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys|Skywarp]]. It would later be redecoed again to make [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]], and [[retool]]ed into [[Dirge (G1)/toys|Dirge]], [[Ramjet (G1)/toys|Ramjet]], and [[Thrust (G1)/toys|Thrust]]. On top of this, given his role as a major Generation 1 character, Starscream himself would be reissued many times down the years, the first being [[Classics (Europe)#Australian exclusives|still in his original packaging in Australia]] in 1990.

: Subsequent reissues had more distinctive presentation, and this article strives to list each one under its own header. The long lifespan of his toy actually began in 1986, when Starscream remained part of the assortment for that year despite the departure of nearly every other 1984 toy from store shelves.

:The second release of Starscream's toy came with this Japanese-exclusive two-pack, which saw him packaged alongside [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]], in commemoration of the Decepticon leader's passing ([[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|of sorts]]) in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

**''Accessories'': 2-part Pretender shell, helmet, left & right wings, left & right "lasers"/tail wings, rifle
:The first new Starscream toy since the original brought the treacherous Air Commander back as a [[Classic Pretender]]. He still transforms into a grey, red and blue F-15 fighter jet, though his vehicle mode now borders on the [[super deformed]]. He is armed with a pair of blue lasers, which become his tail fins in jet mode.

:Starscream's two-piece [[Pretender]] shell resembles a human in a teal, grey and brown space armored suit with a removable helmet. The shell is armed with a large blue rifle. When Starscream is inside the shell, his removable grey wings store in holes on the shell's back, while the blue lasers get plugged into the sides of the large rifle.

:Released exclusively in Japan ''instead'' of the individual Classic Pretender figures, rather than in addition to them, this giftset contained the "Legends" versions of Pretender Starscream and his fellow Classic Pretenders, [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Hero Set|Bumblebee]], [[Jazz (G1)/toys#HeroSet|Jazz]], and [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#HeroSet|Grimlock]]. This version of Starscream featured a silver face, as opposed to the Hasbro version's black.

:In Italy, [[GiG]] also forewent releasing the individual Classic Pretenders, and instead released their own version of the Hero Set named "Set Commandos". Starscream was given the name "Tornado", which was originally the Italian name of [[Air Raid (G1)|Air Raid]]. The "Set Commandos" toys were identical to the Japanese "Hero Set" versions.

*'''Starscream / Turbo Jet''' (Action Master, 1990)
**''Accessories:'' Turbo Jet, rifle, 2 missiles

: [[Action Master]] Starscream is a non-transforming action figure based loosely on his cartoon [[character model]], but using a color scheme derived from the Pretender toy. His main accessory is the [[Turbo Jet]], a small personal attack craft that Starscream can set astride like a motorcycle. The Turbo Jet rolls on three small wheels, and can transform into a gun emplacement.

: This mold was [[redeco]]ed as [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#ActionMaster|Action Master Thundercracker]].

**''ID number:'' '''22'''
**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, 2 missile launchers, 2 null-rays, 2 cluster bombs, left & right wings, left & right tail fins, left & right tail wings, landing gear

: The third exclusive redeco of the original Generation 1 Starscream toy released alongside the 2001 reissues, "Starscream Secret Version" was available through the [[Lucky Draw figure|Lucky Draw]] contest held in conjunction with the first edition of ''[[Transformers Generations (guidebook)|Transformers Generations]]'' (with a ''[[Super Collection Figure]]'' Skywarp figurine as second prize). The figure was limited to only ''five'' pieces, making it one of the rarest officially-released ''Transformers'' toys in the world, and to cap it off, the toy was not actually ''shown'' during the contest, hence its "Secret" moniker. Given its amazingly limited availability, it was not even 100% known ''what the toy looked like'' until a picture of it appeared in ''[[Transformers Generations 2009]]'', showing it as being primarily clear and colorless. Prior to this appearance, it was suggested that both this toy and the ''SCF'' Skywarp were ''not'' officially released, due to the bankruptcy of ''Generations'' publisher [[Keibunsha]]. Whether or not this scenario is accurate is still unknown at this time, as no one has publicly translated the text regarding the figure from ''Generations 2009''.

*'''Starscream''' (Decepticon Jet, 1993)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, left & right wings, left & right tail fins, left & right tail wings, landing gear, 2 missile launchers, 3 missiles, sound/light energy unit

:Starscream's ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' release is a slight [[retool]] of his original toy, armed with new, functional spring-loaded launchers and missiles, and an electronic light-and-sound "energy unit" in the shape of a tank. The electronic box lights up with the press of either button, and emits electronic "machine gun" or "jet engine" noises. In robot mode, the box attaches to Starscream's back; in jet mode, it plugs into his tail-end.

:This version of the mold would have been used to make ''Generation 2'' [[Blackout (G2)|Blackout]]. The new accessories were also used, in different colors, for ''Generation 2'' [[Ramjet (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Ramjet]].

*'''Advanced Tactical Bomber Megatron''' (Decepticon, limited test market release)
**''Accessories'': 12 missiles, 2 missiles launchers

: A planned-but-more-or-less-canceled redeco of ''Generation 2'' [[Dreadwing (G2)#Toys|Dreadwing]], "Advanced Tactical Bomber" [[Megatron (G1)/toys#ATB|Megatron]] would have come with Starscream, a redeco of Dreadwing's partner [[Smokescreen (G2)#Toys|Smokescreen]]. The pair can combine into the "flying wing" Advanced Tactical Bomber, while Starscream can detach to become a smaller solo jet, leaving Megatron to transform into a treaded tank mode. According the Toy Fair 1995 Transformers presentation, the toy's missiles are intended to glow in the dark.

: This toy's deco was modified to make ''[[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars II]]'''s [[BB#Toys|BB]] and [[Starscream (BW)#Toys|Starscream]] out of the same mold-set. Importantly, ''this'' Starscream has light gray plastic rather than ''Beast Wars II'' Starscream's silver plastic, as well as an unpainted gray head with a blue faceplate where ''Beast Wars II'' has a painted-black helmet with silver faceplate, and of course, different stickers between the two. The missiles in the set are also [[retool]]ed with a different, pointier back-end, indicating the launchers' interiors were also retooled; this tooling is however completely different from the retooling done to each individual later use of the mold, meaning ''none'' of the missiles are interchangeable between them.

: This mold was also used to make ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Dreadwind (RID)#Toys|Dreadwind]] and [[Smokejumper#Toys|Smokejumper]], while Starscream's mold was sold separately during the ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' line as [[Smokesniper#Toys|Smokesniper]].

: This figure was only released to test markets in Ohio, USA in very limited quantities. It was never available as a wide release.

[[File:MW-toy Starscream.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|I have no mouth and I must Starscream.]]
*'''Starscream''' (Ultra, 1997)
**''Accessories:'' 10 missiles

: Starscream's ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' incarnation is a redeco of the [[Predator (subgroup)|Predator]] [[Skyquake (G1)#Toys|Skyquake]], transforming into a large bomber jet based vaguely upon an SR-71 Blackbird. The main feature of the toy is its "carpet bombing" gimmick; each wing contains a drum that holds up to four missiles, which drop out as the drum is rotated. A further two missiles can also store on each wing, and one on each side of his fuselage, but while Skyquake came with enough missiles to fill all these ports, Starscream only comes with ten. The short length of the missiles necessary for this gimmick to function means that Starscream does not come with Skyquake's firing missile launcher, since the missiles are shorter than [[for safety reasons|US safety standards]] allow, although it is incorrectly shown on his packaging. Starscream also lacks Skyquake's [[Megavisor]] gimmick. The figure also features a barely noticeable yet enormous Decepticon symbol on the [http://www.seibertron.com/transformers-toys/view/machine-wars/starscream/608/2/25/ top of the plane] rendered in black paint on black plastic.

: Starscream is known to have come with either pale grey missiles, better fitting his new color scheme, or bright green missiles like Skyquake's.

: This mold was later redecoed to make [[King Atlas#Toys|King Atlas]]. The toy [[Repurposing|doubles]] as the [[Starscream drone]]s in ''[[Transformers: Wings Universe|Wings Universe]]'' and as [[Starscream (MW)|an unnamed character]] in [[2019 IDW continuity]].

*'''Starscream'''

: Starscream would have been made available in the aborted ''[[Transcendent Technomorph|Transtech]]'' series in 2001. Control art and early [[Prototype]] images have surfaced, showing that the toy would have been at the Deluxe scale and featured internal lighting mechanisms that changed color depending on its mode. The toy is clearly a homage to his ''Machine Wars'' body, which at the time of ''Transtech's'' intended release would have been the last form Starscream had inhabited in American markets.

: In 2008, this design would be [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as the [[Transcendent Technomorph|TransTech]] universe's [[Starscream (TransTech)|Starscream]].

: This design was revived by [[Draxhall Jump]] when they were contracted to create the ''[[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] Megamorphs'' line for Toy Biz; Starscream ultimately became the [[Iron Man]] toy.

**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, 2 missile launchers, 2 null-rays, 2 cluster bombs, left & right wings, left & right tail fins, left & right tail wings, landing gear

: Available concurrently with the 2001 reissue of the original Generation 1 Starscream figure, "Starscream Ghost Version" is an [[e-HOBBY]] [[exclusive]] ''[[Collector's Edition]]'' redeco of the 2001 Starscream reissue, cast almost entirely in translucent plastics (except for those parts made of die-cast metal) in homage to Starscream's tenure as a ghost in the third season of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''The Transformers'' cartoon]]. To make the toy further match Starscream's cartoon appearance, it features a notably lighter shade of blue, and a translucent orange cockpit as opposed to the traditional smoky grey. The toy came in unique monochrome-blue window box packaging featuring [[CGI]] artwork of Starscream.

: The second ''Collector's Edition'' e-HOBBY-exclusive redeco available concurrently with the 2001 reissue of the original Generation 1 Starscream toy, "Starscream Black Version" sports a color scheme loosely based upon ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' [[#Machine_Wars|Starscream]], despite the only real point of similarity being that they are both black. The toy's [[bio]] makes a rare fictional reference to ''Machine Wars'', describing [[Machine Wars (event)|the events]] of the series in the past tense. The toy shared the window-box packaging of the "Ghost Version" (see above), except its box was monochrome-black.

:The first reissue of the original Starscream toy in North America since the Generation 1 toyline reached its end, this "[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]" edition of the figure was a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive. It featured functional missile launchers for the first time on a Hasbro version of the toy, but because the launchers now worked, both sets of missiles had to be lengthened [[for safety reasons]]. This didn't work out ''so'' badly with the null-rays, but the cluster bombs just wound up looking ''stupid''.

:As another in an increasingly large number of reissues of the original Generation 1 Starscream toy, this entry in the Japanese-exclusive ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' line of reissues decided to mix things up by giving the figure a full-scale redeco into [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] colors. His blue plastic became much lighter, while his cockpit was made bright orange, and even featured new grey paint applications running across it. Several of his stickers were replaced with new, show-accurate paint applications, including new wing-stripes and [[tampograph]]ed Decepticon symbols on his wings and nosecone (of course, Starscream didn't have one on his nosecone in the cartoon, so it isn't perfect!).

:Starscream's fists were remolded with new circular peg-holes so he could wield his missile launchers in his hands, which also worked in conjunction with a new tab on the fists' undersides to allow him to hold his new accessory: Megatron in gun mode. This miniature Megatron splits into two pieces at the handle, with each half plugging into the new hole and tab added to each of Starscream's fists. Megatron can also plug into Starscream's underside in jet mode, replicating the time the characters linked up in this fashion in the cartoon episode, "[[S.O.S. Dinobots]]". The set also came with a remolded fist for the original Optimus Prime toy, allowing him to hold the Megatron accessory, and a DVD featuring a trailer for the upcoming Playstation 2 video game ''[[The Transformers (PS2)|The Transformers]]'' and Japanese toy [[commercial]]s for Optimus Prime, [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]].

: Starscream's ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' toy is a re-imagining of the original Generation 1 figure, retaining its basic [[transformation scheme]], but designed to be closer to the animation model, with greater articulation and integrated parts that do not require detachment during transformation. The only pieces that now need to be removed are Starscream's null-ray rifles, which move from his wings to his arms. He has three peg-holes on each arm, allowing the null-rays to be mounted on his shoulders, on his forearms, or in his fists. These holes are also designed to accommodate the generic spring-loaded missile launcher weapon included with ''Robotmasters'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Robotmasters|G1 Convoy]], [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#Robotmasters|Beast Convoy]] and [[Megatron (BW)/toys#Robotmasters|Beast Megatron]].

:Starscream came with two "missile pods" based on weapons Starscream used but once, in the Generation 1 cartoon episode "[[Fire on the Mountain (episode)|Fire on the Mountain]]". These chromed accessories plug into the square holes in Starscream's chest, and feature opening covers that reveal (non-firing) missiles within.

: This mold was redecoed into ''Robotmasters'' [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Robotmasters|Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Robotmasters|Thundercracker]].

: Available only via mail-order through ''[[Figure Ō]]'' No. 80, the "Limited Black Version" of Starscream is just that: a straight [[black repaint]] of the Starscream toy, replacing the original toy's blue, red and the grey of his wings with black. He comes with all his original accessories, as well as a gold-chromed version of the "Jamming Trident" [[Solitarium]] weapon that came with [[Wingstun]].

*'''Starscream''' ([[September 28]], [[2006]])
**''ID number:'' '''MP-3'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 null-rays, 2 missile racks, [[Doctor Arkeville#Masterpiece|Doctor Arkeville]] pilot figurine, gun clip, two-piece display stand

:The second new mold in [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' line, this highly-detailed version of Starscream is the "odd man out" of the series, eschewing the slavish cartoon-accuracy of the other ''Masterpiece'' figures in favor of creating as accurate an F-15 Eagle alternate mode as possible, with a somewhat more stylized robot mode. As it happens, his Starscream does not transform into a standard {{w|McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle|F-15 Eagle}}, rather he transforms into an {{w|McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle|F-15E Strike Eagle}}; with the dead giveaways being in the subtle differences in the shape of the vehicle mode and the placement of the real-world-styled decals. The toy features several unobtrusive built-in gimmicks, including ''numerous'' opening panels on his jet mode surface (highlighting the attention this mode received), flip-up panels in his chest that reveal missile racks based on the weapons seen in the Generation 1 episode "Fire on the Mountain", and a rotating face that allows Starscream to switch his expression from stony-faced to sneering. Owners of the toy are given quite a few customization options, as Starscream comes with an extensive sheet of sticker decals, including variously sized Decepticon symbols, and squadron numbers and markings, including one of [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]]!

:In addition to his built-in features, Starscream comes with several accessories. He is armed with both his traditional null-ray rifles, but his familiar cluster bombs are replaced with a rack of (slightly inaccurate) Sidewinder missiles. He also comes with a clip that mounts under his nosecone, allowing him to hold the Megatron pistol accessory that came with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#20th Anniversary.2FMasterpiece|''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime]] in emulation of the way the characters linked up in "S.O.S. Dinobots", and a small figurine of [[Doctor Arkeville]], his partner in crime from several first-season episodes of the Generation 1 cartoon, which can fit in his cockpit. Finally, he includes a two-piece, reconfigurable display base that allows the figure to be posed in mid-flight in either jet or robot mode, and can store Starscream's accessories while they are not in use. [[Control drawing|Control art]] for ''Masterpiece'' Starscream which showed the figure wearing his [[Transformer clothing|Crown of Leadership]] (as seen in the coronation scene of the original animated movie) and a pair of otherwise-pointless flip-out notches in the finished toy's shoulders indicated that Takara planned for a set of clip-on coronation gear. Ultimately, it would take ''six years'' before these accessories were finally released.

: ''Masterpiece'' Starscream's creation was overseen by famed Japanese mecha designer [[Shōji Kawamori]], who was particularly intent on hiding the robot-mode details on the underside of the fighter mode. The first prototype for the figure was essentially an upgraded, more complex version of the original toy, with much more accurate robot and jet modes, but Kawamori's desire to avoid simply making a new version of an old toy saw the figure go through a major redesign into its finished form. Perhaps the most notable change was the repositioning of Starscream's tail-fin structures from his legs to his hips, with the intent of creating the feel of a samurai wearing a pair of swords at his waist (presumably, if somewhat oddly, based on the then-recent ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' cartoons' portrayal of their [[Starscream (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Starscream]] as a noble swordsman). Even so, Kawamori was still unhappy with the amount of robotic parts visible underneath the plane, but conceded that too many changes would essentially not make the toy look like Starscream in robot mode. In this pursuit of realism, the most visible concession to the design was the abandonment of his traditional color scheme (which is much closer to a standard F-15's color scheme), replaced with an all-over greenish-tinged grey—a color scheme that is more accurate to the real-world version of the toy's {{w|File:F-15E takes on fuel from KC-10.jpg|F-15E Strike Eagle}} vehicle mode.

:This mold was later retooled into the ''Masterpiece'' versions of [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Thundercracker]], and was recolored by Hasbro into a [[#MasterpieceUS|more cartoon-accurate Starscream color scheme]] released under their ''[[#Classics|Classics]]'' line as well as redecoed into Hasbro's version of Masterpiece [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Universe .282008.29|Skywarp]] under the [[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]] line. It was also redecoed and retooled to create the eleventh ''Masterpiece'' figure, [[#MP11|Starscream]].

:Though not stated on the package, Starscream is in fact a 1/60 scale F-15. The same scale used by many popular Japanese mecha toys including Kawamori's own ''Macross'' Valkyries. Coincidence?

:Cast almost entirely in translucent plastic, this "Ghost Version" ''Masterpiece'' figure is yet another callback to Starscream's spectral tenure from the Generation 1 cartoon. When purchased from [[e-HOBBY]], buyers received an [[MP-3G Destron Air Commander / Starscream Ghost Ver.|exclusive comic]] packaged with the figure. Surprisingly, Ghost Starscream comes with the same sticker sheet as the original MP-3 Starscream, only with the numbering designation changed.

:Like Gentei Ghost Starscream, Masterpiece Ghost Starscream is cast in light purple translucent plastic instead of just colorless clear plastic like the G1 Ghost Starscream figure.

:''Extreme'' caution is needed while transforming/posing this toy: Several parts of him (especially the wing connectors) are prone to breakage.

*'''Starscream'''/'''New Emperor of Destruction Starscream'''<ref>http://tf.takaratomy.co.jp/toy/search/masterpiece/mp11/</ref> ([[March 31]], [[2012]])
**''ID number:'' '''MP-11'''
**''Accessories:'' Crown, pauldrons (left and right), cape, 2 null-rays, hologram pilot figurine

:Following up on the original plan for the ''Masterpiece'' Starscream figure six years after the fact, MP-11 decks Screamer out in his coronation gear from ''The Transformers: The Movie'', including crown, twin shoulder pads, and a sculpted plastic cape (rather than a fabric one). In addition to his new accessories—which also include a new hologram pilot figure in place of Doctor Arkeville—Starscream features some extensive retooling to wind his ''Masterpiece'' design away from Kawamori's original, less Generation 1-accurate look, with most of the robot mode being newly tooled parts, including chunkier legs that now incorporate his tail-fins, [[retool]]ed shoulders and wingtips that no longer curve into one another, a new head (with collapsible head fins), new heel spurs that flip out for added support in robot mode, and re-engineered null-rays attached to extending armatures that mean they no longer have to be [[Partformer|removed]] for transformation. Despite the similarity to the original MP-3 prototype, the retooled parts are in fact a whole new design heavily based on the original concept. This new version of the mold was redecoed into [[Sunstorm (G1)#Masterpiece|Sunstorm]] and (without the coronation gear) into Hasbro's [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Thundercracker]], [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#MP11SW|Skywarp]] and [[Acid Storm (G1)#Masterpiece|Acid Storm]]. It was later retooled into the [[Seeker (body-type)#Coneheads|Coneheads]] [[Ramjet (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Ramjet]], [[Thrust (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Thrust]] and [[Dirge (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Dirge]], although the mold by that point had noticeably [[Mold#Deterioration|deteriorated]], resulting in numerous quality control issues.

:2013 saw a China-only re-release of MP-11 Starscream. While announced as the same as the original, it featured some changes. Chief among them is the head is no longer molded in light gray plastic painted over gloss black and dark metallic gray (for the face) but it's molded in a more cartoon accurate dark gray (for the helmet) and a lighter metallic gray for the face. This release also features the nosecone molded in light gray plastic rather than molded in blue and then painted over light gray. The black tabs on the top of the jet are now the same grey as the rest of the jet. It also included a collector's coin like the original Asian (excluding Japan) release.

:This version was released by Hasbro [[#Masterpiece 2|under ''Generations'' co-branding]].

**''Accessories:'' 2 null-rays, 2 missile racks, hologram pilot figurine, two-piece display stand, gun clip

:The Hasbro version of [[#MP11|MP-11]] differs from the Takara release in a toy-accurate blue nose cone, borders around the Decepticon logo, a slightly different grey plastic, the tabs of the top of the jet are in grey (like the second release of MP-11) and is missing the coronation gear. However, he does come with the stand from previous Masterpiece Seekers and two racks of missiles that can peg onto the bottom of his wings in place of the null-rays. Neither the box nor the instructions mention this, but he comes with the gray clip that can hold the Megatron gun that came with other ''Masterpiece'' figures, such as MP-1 Optimus Prime or MP-13 Soundwave. Official images, including the box art, shows the top of the wings mis-transformed in robot mode.

:Despite still using the numbering system of Hasbro's ''Masterpiece'' line begun in 2013, Starscream was [[co-branding|co-branded]] as part of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' line. He was available exclusively at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores in the US, Australia, and Canada.

:This new iteration of the ''Masterpiece'' Starscream features more cartoon-accurate proportions compared to previous releases. He can also convert into his Gerwalk-styled "Alternate Transformation" while in Jet mode. Popular toy magazine ''Figure King'' profiled this new cartoon/Anime accurate version in issue #242.

:A ''Hobby Magazine'' issue revealed that his chest was redesigned during the prototype's production, allowing the parts to correctly sit flush.

:For accessories, he comes with 5 alternate faces, various effect parts and, like many other newer ''Masterpiece'' figures, a bunch of accessories referring to determinate appearances of the character in the G1 cartoon, such as [[Megatron (G1)/toys#MP52|Megatron]] in gun mode (the first time such an accessory has been included with a ''Masterpiece'' Starscream), the drill arm seen in "[[The Core]]" and the pincer he used in "[[Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust]]" to remove the asteroid fragment from Megatron's arm, alongside said asteroid fragment. He also comes with a 2-piece stand with an adaptable arm, a purple redeco of the one that came with [[Dinobot (BW)/toys#Masterpiece|Dinobot]], plus a specific cradle adapter to attach Starscream in Gerwalk mode to the stand. Numerous cases of hairline cracks have been reported at the wrist joints and tailfin joints.

*'''Starscream''' (Deluxe, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' 2 null-ray cannons (left and right), 2 missiles

: Like the other entries in the ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' series, Starscream is a faithful "modernizing" of his original Generation 1 form, updating his original toy with modern standards of toy engineering, transformation, sculpting detail and articulation (not dissimilar in principle from his ''[[#Robotmasters|Robotmasters]]'' incarnation, but with less of an adherence to his cartoon [[character model]]). Sharing many design elements with his ''[[#Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' toy, Starscream still transforms into an F-15 Eagle, but has the nose of an {{w|F-14 Tomcat}} fighter jet. His color scheme is, of course, based on the traditional Starscream palette, but seems to owe its new layout to {{w|File:F-15A first prototype 2.jpg|the original F-15 prototype}}.

:As usual, Starscream is armed with his familiar null-rays, which can mount under his wings, on his shoulders, or in his fists, and fire spring-loaded projectiles. The large size of his null-rays (necessary [[for safety reasons]]) restrict his arm movement somewhat in robot mode, as they bump into his wings. Like all ''Classics'' figures, he has a heat-activated rubsign on his left wing. Certain parts of Starscream, like his back panel and tailfin assemblies, are made of unusually rigid gray plastic that is slightly prone to cracking or breaking, and should be handled with care.

: [[Variant#Running changes|Later versions]] of Starscream saw a [[retool]] in the jet intake area, which involved the slope of his shoulders being decreased, and a fifth small rectangle being added to the vertical area. This version of Starscream is the harder to find of the two, but was used as the basis for all subsequent redecos and retools. Despite its age, the mold has been frequently reused for various Seeker characters in the years since its first use, though its last few uses have exhibited visible signs of mold degredation.

**''Accessories:'' 2 null-rays, 2 missile racks, Doctor Arkeville pilot figurine, gun clip, display stand

: A [[Walmart]] exclusive, Hasbro's Masterpiece Starscream is an ''extensive'' redeco of the previous year's ''Masterpiece'' figure from Takara, recolored to resemble the character's animation model, down to the orange canopy and the silver nosecone, although the cartoon-accurate silver paint on the nosecone actually covers ''toy''-accurate blue plastic.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/206593-clean-mp-ss-cleanscream-blue-nosecone.html Clean MP SS - Cleanscream(blue nosecone) - tfw2005.com]</ref> In an effort to bring out detail in the sculpt, he has also been given an extensive paint wash to bring out his panel lines. His colors were not the only thing changed, however; the tips of his vertical stabilizers were shortened and rounded, and the plastics used overall have greater resilience to impact and damage than the fragile Japanese release.

:Starscream includes the same accessories as the Takara version of the toy, including a two-piece display stand, null-rays, sidewinder missiles, a small figurine of Doctor Arkeville (which now has the correct skin color), and a clip to hold 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime's Megatron gun while in jet mode. Starscream was finally given the correct tech spec stats he was originally supposed to have back in 1984 for this release, which had been mistakenly given to Skywarp instead.

:Takara got in on the act the following year when they released Hasbro's version of Masterpiece Starscream as a "[[USA Edition]]", adding a Japanese sticker to the Hasbro ''Classics'' packaging. This version of the toy was not without a few changes: the original mold for the tail fins was used, an extra Decepticon symbol was added to Starscream's nosecone (which was present on his original toy, but not his animation model), and his black "scorch mark" [[paint operation]]s were dialed back, and those that remained were switched to a lighter gray.

Henkei!'' release.

:Several minor changes were made to the sculpt for this release: his launcher pegs were widened, and the peg-holes for them on his shoulders and wings were modified in order to accommodate them. His air intakes were further modified (on top of the changes made to the mold for [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Classics (2006)|''Classics'' Skywarp]]) so that the bottom-most rectangle goes completely across the air intake's surface rather than just the center.

:The figure is reported to suffer from heavy quality control issues, most commonly mentioned are the joints and hinges being incredibly weak. As a result, Starscream's wings are difficult to keep in place in robot mode. The elbows, which previously snapped into place when articulated, now slide freely, and the entire hip joint system can be shifted out of alignment.

Unfortunately, this [[gimmick]] suffers from a rather nasty [[design flaw]]: there is simply not enough clearance under the car for the wheels to be able to pass and hinge through, and attempting to do so will result in the plastic reinforcement struts underneath ''deforming the rims and chipping the tires''. His door panels also tend to detach from their [[ball joint]]s ''very easily''.

:This mold, with a different head sculpt, was also used to make the simultaneously released ''Alternity'' [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Alternity|Skywarp]], and later [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Alternity|Thundercracker]] and [[Banzai-Tron (G1)#Alternity|Banzai-Tron]] as well.

*'''Starscream''' (Legends Class, 2011)

:[[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] Starscream is a new sculpt based on his Generation 1 jet appearance with many fuselage details borrowed from the [[#Masterpiece|Masterpiece version]]. This is the first Starscream in many years to attempt an entirely new transformation for him, with the arms now forming the rear of the jet and the legs folding under the wings. Amusingly, he has ''two'' cockpits, with the one that is actually part of his jet mode folding ''right behind'' the [[kibble#faux-parts|fake]] one on his chest in robot mode. As part of the "[[Reveal the Shield]]" [[subline imprint]], Starscream sports a [[rubsign]].

: Early specimens of the toy released in Asia and at United States retail feature an unpainted gray-plastic helmet, a comparatively rare [[variant]]. This variant is the one featured in the Hasbro [[stock photography]], although the stock photo depicting the figure in [[multilingual packaging|European packaging]] has the more common black helmet, as this was the only version ever available at European retail.

: The "Reveal the Shield" Legends figures saw exceedingly limited release at large-scale retail chains in the US. Throughout 2011, they eventually started appearing in discount stores like Ross, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Tuesday Morning, with perhaps the largest and most consistent outlet being Five Below stores.

:This sculpt was also redecoed and retooled to make ''[[Transformers Chronicle|Chronicle]]'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Chronicle|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Chronicle|Skywarp]], as well as ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Generations|Thundercracker]] and [[Transformers (2014 toyline)|''Transformers'' (2014)]] [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Skywarp]].

{{note|This toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as Generation 1 Starscream in [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Robots in Disguise]]'' comics.}}

: Part of the third wave of [[2012]]-onwards ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' [[Starscream (WFC)#Generations|Starscream]] transforms into a Cybertronian jet fighter. He comes with two spinning, triple-barreled "assault cannons" which can combine to form a larger hand-held weapon that is geared to spin its two triple-barrels together, and resembles the [[Neutron assault rifle]] from ''Fall of Cybertron''. Each of the weapon halves features two [[5 mm post]]s, as well as a peg-hole on their hollow sides, while the combined form features another peg-hole at the top, but makes the peg-holes on the hollow sides inaccessible. Starscream features numerous 5mm peg-holes, such as his hands, forearms, lower legs, and wing undersides.

: In an undocumented feature, Starscream's tail-fin is attached via a 5 mm post on its underside, and can be detached to reveal three additional peg-holes, with two of these peg-holes being just the right distance to accommodate the two pegs found on the underside of the combined assault cannons/rifle, with the tail-fin pegging on the rifle's top peg-hole. This allows the weapon to mount on top of the vehicle mode, and store on his back in robot mode.

: He was later redecoed into ''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Skywarp (WFC)#Generations|Skywarp]] and ''Thrilling 30'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#T30Deluxe|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Thrilling 30|Skywarp]].

Based on a [[Guido Guidi]] [[Seeker (body-type)|seeker]] concept for the [[The Transformers (IDW)|first IDW ongoing series]], Starscream transforms from a hybrid F-15/F-22 style jet. He features a fold out front landing gear, [[5 mm post|5 mm-compatible]] hands, and back/roof, and has [[C joint|3 mm-compatible]] upper arm ports. He comes with two removable null-rays that have both 5 mm and 3 mm pegs.

: Alluding to the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' episode "[[Possession]]", Starscream is partnered with [[Waspinator (BW)/toys#Generations|Waspinator]], who can transform into a wasp, a robot with 3 mm-compatible hands, and a gun with 5mm handle. He has an [[autotransformation]] feature that folds up his wings when his gun barrel is extended.

: Another release of the ''Reveal the Shield'' Legends Class sculpt, this time as an odd mish-mash of prior releases. The tooling is identical to the 2012 release's running change variant, with the retooled hands and holes inside his wings compatible with [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] [[C joint|3mm]] pegs, while the deco is nigh-identical the ''[[Transformers Chronicle (toyline)|Chronicle]]'' release, with the fully-black hemlet making for a weird-looking jet-mode nosecone. The toy also now sports a large "CE" mark on the inside of one of the tailfins and number on the inner right leg, declaring the toy meets European product safety requirements. A later [[variant]] replaced the purple Decepticon insignia with black versions.

: Bizarrely, the [[package art]] is lifted directly from the ''Generations'' Legends Class Starscream/Waspinator two-pack's packaging, whereas the [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicted on the back of the packaging are taken from ''Reveal the Shield'' Starscream's packaging and only slightly altered, advertising a "[[Transformers (2010 toyline)#Hasbro Reveal the Shield subline|Reveal the Shield]]" [[rubsign]] [[gimmick]] the toy doesn't actually have. Meanwhile, Hasbro's official stock photos provided to online retailers (including an in-packaging photo) depict the toy with the null-rays that came with the running change variant of the sculpt's 2012 release, even though the actual toy doesn't include the weapons.

:Legion Class Starscream has been found at Family Dollar and Dollar General stores in the United States. The later version was also released at general retail in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. This figure was re-released in 2017 in a minor variant of the 2014 version's packaging (including the original product code number and barcode) that now lacked the reference to the non-existing "Reveal the Shield" gimmick.

:Like [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Bumblebee]] and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Optimus Prime]], the black insignia variant of the toy ended up being dumped to some hobby shop dealers in Asia, and even returned to discount stores like Five Below and 99 Cents Only in the US in 2020.

: Part of the first wave of ''Transformers [[Hero Mashers]]'' basic Action Figures, Starscream is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory. As a first-wave figure, he has extra ankle articulation that is not present in later waves (a cut that was made to all ''Hero Mashers'' lines, not just the ''Transformers''-branded ones).

: He is designed with a removable head, forearms, thighs, and lower legs, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means his pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', and ''[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]'', meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations.

:Rather than coming with a (nominally) hand-held weapon accessory, Starscream comes with a wing-pack. Of course, being a ''Hero Mashers'' piece, it can be attached anywhere, including being hand-held, and the wings have multiple gun barrels on them, so have a blast.

: His right forearm was [[redeco]]ed to make [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Skywarp]]'s arm in the [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Battle Upgrade Megatron]] set.

:Starscream's torso sculpt is noticeably similar to that of the [[Titan Heroes|Titan Guardian]] Starscream released at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] in [[2013]].

The cannon can also be swung out and deployed for use in jet mode. He lacks Doubledealer's blaster and sword accessories, but instead comes with two of [[#Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'' Starscream]]'s [[null-ray]] cannons that can plug into the [[5 mm post]]s on his shoulders/vehicle sides, cannon base, and wings.

:As one of seven toys in the [[Transformers: Generations#Cyber Battalion Series|Cyber Battalion]] series, Cyber Series Starscream is a Voyager-sized figure intended to be sold at a cheaper price point. Starscream features a transformation similar to his ''Generations'' Legends Class counterpart. Undocumented in the instructions and as shown in the packaging art, Starscream's rifles can be attached underneath his wings and his robot mode arms.

:Unfortunately, the figure did not get distribution in the United States, but has been reported showing up in Asian markets and was also solicited to South America. Toy importers did stock this series in a limited capacity and they sold out quickly in 2015 and effectively disappeared at that time. In 2016, the Cyber Battalion Starscream figure (along with ''Cyber Battalion'' Optimus Prime and Bumblebee) saw release in the Universal Studios Theme Park, and finally ended up being turned into a Walgreens exclusive.

Like so many other "ghost" Starscream figures, he is cast almost completely in translucent plastics.

: As a Deluxe-sized ''Unite Warriors'' figure, he can form the leg or arm of any ''Combiner Wars''-style Combiner or into one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs, but is normally associated with [[Grand Galvatron#Toys|Grand Galvatron]].

:''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' Starscream transforms from a robot that utilizes the [[Evergreen]]-styled design into a fighter jet. He also features some markings on his jet mode: an Autobot kill count on the right side of the cockpit, and a Decepticon symbol with the number "D-22" (a reference to Starscream's Japanese ID number). Starscream can also form the torso of [[Starscream Combiner|an unnamed combiner]] using any selection of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]''-style Deluxe Class figures as limbs. His instructions and [[TakaraTomy]] stock photos depict him with the ''Power of the Primes'' Deluxe Class figures from Wave 1. He also includes Prime Armor that can hold a [[Prime Master]] (and by extension, a [[Titan Master]], [[Enigma of Combination#Generations|Enigma]], or [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix core]]) and can turn into feet for said unnamed combiner. The silhouette of Starscream's torso mode appears to homage the robot mode of another [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Like all the other Voyager Class figures, Starscream includes an Enigma of Combination (dubbed the ''Seeker Enigma''), based on a Prime Master, which can attach to Starscream via the previously mentioned Prime Armor or the combined mode chest, which can also facilitate the other previously mentioned objects.

:There are several reports of the peg that connects the wings often refusing to connect well. In 2018, a running change was made in the re-release of the toy: the peg that connects between the wings and the robot back has been retooled to connect firmly. The only way to identify this running change is the code "73101" stamped onto the box.

His transformation is nigh-identical to his ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' toy, with a few minor changes; his null-rays can now peg to his wings, his face is hidden in jet mode, and the nosecone no longer flips back when forming his chest.

In exchange for the gun/fist/foot accessory of his original release, Starscream comes with the ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' Prime Armor that originally came with [[Dreadwind (G1)#Generations|Dreadwind]].

He was released by [[TakaraTomy Mall]] and in [[Cybertron Satellite]] stores as part of TakaraTomy's celebration of the brand's 35th anniversary.

**''TakaraTomy release date'': [[April 27]], 2019
**''Hidden message code'': '''NULLRAY'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 "HPI [[Null-ray|Null-Ray]] Laser Launchers"

:Part of the second wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Voyager Class figures, Starscream transforms from a heavily G1-inspired robot into a Cybertronian 'tetrajet' based on the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers']] appearance in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]", although the jet mode has <s>the robot-mode legs</s> pretty much his ''entire robot body'' sticking out from the undercarriage. He includes two "HPI Null-Ray Laser Launchers," which can mount on his upper arms or under the wings in jet mode (or in any other 5 mm port, really). As part of the ''Siege'' [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], Starscream has 5 mm ports on his biceps, forearms, shins, under his feet (vehicle-mode thrusters), and wings. The 3 mm pegs on his shins, forearms, left bicep, and the tips of his null-rays can accommodate effects parts (sold separately). Similar to his wavemate [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Soundwave]], Starscream is absolutely ''slathered'' in battle damage paint — it's heavily present on his legs, chest, forearms, and the ''entirety'' of his jet form.

:Like the rest of ''Siege'', his robot mode focuses on articulation, with double-jointed elbows, knees that bend at nearly 180 degrees, ankle rockers, and especially waist articulation being notable articulation points for a Starscream toy. As an interesting design addition, he also has spring-loaded panels in his lower legs to avoid hollow gaps when viewed from the back. As a rather heavy shellformer, Starscream can easily be separated into both a wingless robot mode and a nearly complete tetrajet via a single friction hinge.

:Speaking of friction hinges, the initial release of Starscream suffers from a production flaw: his robot-mode chest easily pops off during transformation as a result of a late design change that removed a pin from the chest without adjusting plastic tolerances. Said initial releases also use the live-action "angry eyes" design for his Decepticon insignia. One or both errors were corrected for later wave shipments; both were fixed by the time the figure shipped again with Voyager Class [[Springer (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Springer]]. While the pin wasn't added back in, the plastic used for the grey strut the chest piece attaches to uses a stiffer plastic that is less likely to cause it to pop off.

:Amusingly, the panel on his instruction sheet that demonstrates where to attach C.O.M.B.A.T. weapons depicts him mistransformed, with his left forearm opened along the transformation hinge. He is also slightly mistransformed in-package, with his arms rather adorably left unextended and the panel behind the head not being locked in place between the shoulder pylons.

:The original figure eventually became a notorious shelfwarmer, due to him being reissued in the third wave and coincidentally around the time that the ''Earthrise'' figure was revealed at NYCC 2019.

**''TakaraTomy release date:'' [[June 27]], 2020
**''Accessories:'' 2 [[null-ray]]s

:Released as part of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Voyager Class lineup, this version of Starscream is a cartoon-accurate mold. He transforms into an F-15 jet based on his traditional alternate mode and features a pair of G1-accurate null-rays. His design and transformation scheme is heavily based on his [[#Classics|2006 ''Classics'' figure]] while adding points of articulation the earlier figure did not have such as pivoting ankles, a more expressive ball-jointed head, and hinges that allow the wings to fold backwards in robot mode. However, due to this, his torso is very hollow at the sides and his intended waist articulation was dropped due to the physical space required for transformation.

:The stock renders have some minor differences from the prototype seen at New York Comic Con. The renders depict the section of his chest that covers part of his cockpit as being unpainted red, while the prototype has it painted a more animation-accurate white, also present on renders featuring [[Smashdown]], and ''four'' null-rays on his Jet mode, with two of them attached at the turbines of his chest, which is impossible to do on the toy. The render also depicts his shoulder joints as being molded in blue and knee joints in white, whereas the prototype has their colors swapped.

:At least ''one'' copy features a factory misassembled figure with a newly tooled head sculpt<ref>https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/alternate-head-for-earthrise-starscream.1190272/</ref> (with his expression being based on him being disintegrated by Galvatron in ''The Transformers: The Movie'') which was meant for [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Skywarp]].

:There have been reports of some units suffering from a cracked waist panel due to the left tab not being pushed in far enough during assembly. The unpaintable gray parts, such as the elbows and tailfins, are somewhat prone to [[photodegradation|photodegrading]] in-package. Moreover, the over reliance of red paint for his torso and black paint for his head means that he is extremely prone to chipping.

:Like all Earthrise toys, the inside of the back of Starscream's package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger star map. Also in the box is a thin red piece of transparent plastic with which to read markings on the map. Unusually for a larger Earthrise toy, Starscream's piece of the map does not contain the labeled location of a named planet; however it does include an unlabeled image of the planet [[Jupiter]], slightly obscured by another smaller sphere. It also shows a sliver of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], one of several planets too big for one map piece.

:As per the norm, Starscream was later redecoed into [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Skywarp]] (with the alternate head) and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Thundercracker]] (with the neutral-faced head). The mold would later be further retooled into the [[Conehead]]s [[Ramjet (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Ramjet]], [[Dirge (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Dirge]], and [[Thrust (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Thrust]] and then differently retooled into [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Studio Series|Coronation Starscream]].

:Part of the 8th wave of ''[[Studio Series]]'' Leader Class toys, "Coronation Starscream" is a retool of the ''Earthrise'' Starscream [[#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|above]], with newly-molded poseable hands, the coronation gear from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', a second pair of null-rays molded to fit under the shoulderpads and the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'' [[:File:Mtmte1 megatron throne.jpg|throne]] from "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]." The toy lacks the paint applications on his tail fins, the middle ring on his cockpit, and adds additional grey squares to his jet mode for [[:File:TFTM Starscream Jet.jpg|closer accuracy]] to the movie. Strangely, the pin's on the legs of the Earthrise version have been swapped out for screws.

:The cape is sculpted plastic that is hinged to flair out like the [[#MP11|''Masterpiece'' MP-11 toy]] above and has a C.O.M.B.A.T.

==Notes==
[[File:G2SSJungleprotojet.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb]]
* During the development of the [[Conehead]]s, [[Ramjet (G1)/toys|Ramjet]] was initially planned as new wing tooling attached to an unchanged Starscream body. This [[prototype]] plan lasted long enough to receive [[package art]], which was published decades later in ''[[Legacy: The Art of Transformers Packaging]]''.
* In the 1990s, Hasbro evidently had more redeco plans for Starscream (and the paired [[Ramjet (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Ramjet]]) that fell through:
** A hand-painted mock-up and accompanying artwork for a proposed Generation 2-era redeco of Starscream appeared in auctions on eBay, amongst similar items put up for sale from the collection of a former Hasbro employee. Eventually, this black redeco of Starscream was revealed to have been labeled by Hasbro as "[[Blackout (G2)|Blackout]]". Said redeco was probably planned for release alongside the Ramjet redeco named "[[Sandstorm (G2)|Sandstorm]]".
** Another unproduced redeco of Starscream for the ''Generation 2'' line was found in 2007, in an auction on eBay. It is known to the fandom as "Jungle Attack Starscream" (as seen to the right). It is unclear if it was intended to actually be another Starscream toy; it may have been paired for release with "[[Ramjet (G1)/toys#Notes|Cloud Camo Ramjet]]", who was discovered at a similar level of "completion".
* During early planning for ''Beast Wars'', Hasbro conceived [[McDonald's]] toys of vehicular [[Auto Roller (G2)|Auto Roller]]s, including one of Starscream as a jet.<ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/CJIcRo5Aqym/ ]</ref> This toy concept may have been a parallel idea to the unreleased ''Generation 2'' [[jet Auto Roller]] ultimately used in Japan as ''Beast Wars II'' [[Autojetter#Toys|Autojetter]].
* Aside from Starscream's ''Unite Warriors'' Deluxe Class toy (as the alternate head of ''Combiner Wars'' [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)#Generations|Skydive]]) and his ''Power of the Primes'' Voyager Class toy (as his own body tooling), Hasbro also designed an unused combining body for Starscream as the "pretooled" alternate head of ''Combiner Wars'' Voyager Class [[Cyclonus (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Cyclonus]].
