| This article is about the Action Master partner to Take-Off. For the exclusive toy for Transformers Generations guidebook series, see Screech (Generations). |
- Screech is a Decepticon Action Master partner from the Generation 1 continuity family.
As Take-Off believes in air superiority, Screech is a perfect partner for him, as the vicious avian can combine with the larger robot to give him flight capabilities and infra-red tracking to locate more targets. Even by himself, Screech is dangerous, packing neutron laser demagnetizer cannons that can evaporate the energon from within an Autobot target's body.
Toys
The Transformers
- Take-Off with Screech (Action Master, 1991)
- Known designers: Andy Couzens (Hasbro), Takio Ejima (TakaraTomy)
- Released in the seventh year of the European-market Transformers toyline (the first year following the end of the US line), Screech is a small, robotic bird-creature. Pressing a trigger on his rear section spring-launches his head forward; while this is pointless by himself, when Screech is plugged onto the back of any other standard Action Master, the beast-head flips over their head to act as a battle helmet.
- He was only available packed in with his larger partner Take-Off.
- As part of the European-only portion of Transformers, and unique molds to boot, Take-Off and Screech can go for some pretty hefty prices on the secondary market.
Notes
- Take-Off's bio calls Screech an "eagle scout". This may or may not be a punny reference, but either way, if Screech is an "eagle", it's a very liberal interpretation of one, even by Transformers's loose standards of beast mode accuracy.
- He is not played by Dustin Diamond.
Foreign names
- Italian: Aquila
