Starscream (G1)/merchandise
From MediaWiki
Starscream has a copious quantity of merchandise.
HG Toys
Licensor HG Toys released quite a few pieces of Transformers merchandise in 1984, including several sculpted in Starscream's likeness. All of these items shared the same basic sculpt, modified to fit the piece of merchandise in question.
- Stamp Bot (1984)
- A small, non-poseable figurine of Starscream with a rubber stamp on the base. An alternate version of Starscream was also available with fewer paint applications and Autobot symbols on its wings!
- Zipper Clip (1984)
- A smaller version of the Starscream sculpt, designed to be attached to a coat zipper.
- Clip On (1984)
- A pocket clip depicting Starscream.
3-D Jigsaw Stand Up Puzzle
- Starscream (1984)
- This piece of Starscream merchandise was a jigsaw puzzle in disguise! The puzzle was of a battle scene of the Seekers battling Optimus Prime, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker, but once broken down, the puzzle pieces could be assembled into a three-dimensional model of Starscream in either robot or jet mode—a progenitor of the 3D Battle-Card Game in many respects!
Transformers Milk Caramel
- Starscream (1985)
- One of Kabaya's first Transformers candy toy lines, the Transformers Milk Caramel series featured small rubber figures, similar to the later-released Decoys, but smaller, flatter and based more on the toys, rather than their animation models. Starscream was available in numerous different colors.
Transformers Choco
- Starscream (1985)
- One of the first of many snap-together candy toy model kits released by Kabaya during the Generation 1 era, this small version of Starscream was available as in various solid colors as part of the Transformers Choco range, coming packaged with small "Chocolate Dots". Owing to its diminutive size, it could only transform between robot and jet modes by being disassembled and put back together in different configurations. The figure was apparently also available through capsule machines.
Transformers Gum
- Starscream (1985)
- Accessories: Left and right fists, 2 missile launchers, landing gear
- Starscream was also available as part of the larger Transformers Gum range of figures. Released in the first wave of the series and standing at about four inches tall, he was moulded from red, black, and grey plastic and featured stickers for detail. Unlike his smaller Choco counterpart, as was standard for the Gum figures, he is fully transformable, essentially being a scaled down version of the actual Starscream toy.
- This Starscream figure was later re-released in 1997 by a Korean company named Toon Town, in a two-pack with the "Transformers Gum" version of Sideswipe.
- Starscream (2011)
- Released in the third wave of the revived Transformers Gum series in 2010, this transforming model kit of Starscream is made from red, blue, and silver plastic, with stickers for detail. He's based on the Henkei Starscream release.
Decoy
- Destron Hero Collection 22 (multi-pack, 1985)
- This small purple rubber figurine of Starscream was released in Japan as part of a large multi-pack of similar figures, which were used as playing pieces for Transformers board games. The figure features a number etched into its back which is the sum total of Starscream's Tech Spec ratings, which served some function in the gameplay the figures were used for. A peach-colored version of the figure could be found packed in various other multi-packs the following year.
- Starscream (1987)
- Decoy number: 35
- The Starscream figurine was later brought over to Hasbro markets as part of the Decoy promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (35, in Starscream's case). Like all Decepticon Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded Throttlebots, Stunticons, Combaticons and Terrorcons, and was, very early on in the promotion, available in an alternate red coloration that was only packed in with the Throttlebots. Unsurprisingly, this red figurine is much rarer.
Parody Deformed
- Starscream (1990)
- A small red and white, non-transforming super deformed model kit of Starscream was available as part of Kabaya's "Parody Deformed" line of candy toys. The tenth figure in the series, he came with a "Transformers PD Type" comic about himself, "Good Luck! Starscream!!", and something that could charitably be described as "chocolate".
Super Collection Figure
- Starscream (2000)
- Act: 1
- Accessories: Stand
- A three-inch tall PVC figurine of Starscream was available as part of the first wave of Takara's Super Collection Figure line. Like all the figures in the wave, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a clear plastic version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve blindpacked figures.
- This figure was redecoed into Super Collection Figure Thundercracker and Skywarp (maybe), Heroes of Cybertron Sunstorm and Air Warrior, and retooled to become Thrust, Ramjet and Dirge.
- Ghost Starscream[citation needed] (2001)
- Act: 5
- Accessories: Stand
- Starscream's figurine was recast in translucent colored plastic to represent his ghostly form from the third season of the Generation 1 cartoon, and re-released as a rare "Secret Figure" in the fifth wave of the Super Collection Figure series. It was packed at a ratio of one in every ten cases (which figure -if any in specific- it replaced in the lucky case is unknown).
- Coronation Starscream[citation needed] (2002)
- Act: 8
- Accessories: Stand
- Starscream was retooled for a third and final release in the eighth and last wave of the Super Collection Figure line. Like the ghost figure, "Coronation Starscream" was only available as a rare Secret Figure, and features a new head and arms with the crown, shoulderpads and cape from his coronation scene in The Transformers: The Movie. He's also rendered in a light gray rather than the original's bright white. He was presumably released in the same 1-per-every-10-cases ratio as other Secret Figures.
- Luckily for fans, this version of Starscream saw normal release in Heroes of Cybertron (see below), a much cheaper option.
Heroes of Cybertron
When the Super Collection Figure series was imported to become Hasbro's Heroes of Cybertron line, the figures were all cast entirely in translucent colored plastic, then painted over, save for the eyes and a small patch on the back of their heads, giving them all a light-piping gimmick. Unlike the Japanese figures, they were sold in individual blister packaging, with character profile cards.
- Starscream (2002)
- Released in the first wave of Heroes of Cybertron, Starscream has a number of small but significant color differences from his initial Super Collection Figure release (see above): the white has been replaced with a light gray, his "pec vents" are the same dark gray as his other detailing rather than black, a white stripe has been added to his wing deco (as opposed to unpainted white plastic), the Decepticon symbols are purple rather than the odd blue of the SCF, and the connector points for the wings are light gray rather than torso-matching red.
- Starscream with Crown (2002)
- This Heroes of Cybertron release saw the SCF chase figure of Starscream in his coronation gear reach a much wider audience. He's also been painted a considerably darker shade of gray than the original Heroes release, plus the Decepticon symbols on his wings are now "right-side up," further differentiating it from the SCF version.
- He also came packaged with the left leg of the fifth wave's Metroplex "build-a-figure".
- Starscream (OTFCC exclusive, 2003)
- The original Starscream figurine was re-released again in this six-pack of figures available exclusively at OTFCC 2003. He came packaged with Heroes of Cybertron versions of Thundercracker, Skywarp, and three Air Warriors.
- While the three named Seekers in the set were originally intended to have a sparkly paint job to differentiate them from the normal retail versions, that ended up not happening and they ended up basically exactly the same.
Mega Super Collection Figure
- Starscream (2002)
- Japanese ID number: MegaSCF TF 07
- Accessories: 2 open hands (left & right), 2 clenched fists (left & right), right fist w/ Megatron, 2 shoulderpads (left & right), cape, alternate head w/ crown
- Mega Super Collection Figure Starscream is a highly articulated non-transforming PVC action figure. Standing at five inches tall, Starscream features several interchangeable fists, including one clutching Megatron in gun mode, and a full compliment of coronation gear, including two shoulderpads, a real fabric cape that attaches to them, and an alternate head wearing his Crown of Leadership.
- This mold, minus accessories, was supposed to be used to make Skywarp, but the figure was never released.
Hard Hero
- Starscream (2002)
- A cold-cast porcelain Starscream bust measuring six inches in height with a nine-inch wingspan. The bust was fifth in Hard Hero's main series of Transformers busts, and was limited to 5000 pieces. An additional 100 pieces were signed by sculptor Jason Ray.
MyClone
- Starscream (2003)
- ID number: MTF003
- Accessories: Display base
- Released in the third wave of the MyClone line of Transformers PVC figures, this adorable little Starscream comes with a hexagonal red display stand, which can link up with the identical stands included with other MyClone figures. Starscream's modular design is common to all MyClone figures, allowing his parts to be mixed and matched with those of any other figure.
- This mold was also used to make MyClone Thundercracker.
Q-Robo Collection
- Starscream (2003)
- A super-deformed PVC of Starscream was released as part of the Q-Robo Collection. Like all the figures in the series, it was sold blindpacked in a plastic capsule, featured articulation in the neck and shoulders, and was also available in a translucent purple color scheme.
Generation 1 Figure-Collection
- Starscream (2003)
- Japanese ID number: D-2
- Accessories: Display base
- At only one inch in height, this Starscream "bottlecap" figurine (so named because its display base is the size of a bottlecap) was one of fourteen blindpacked figures available in Kabaya's Transformers Generation 1 Figure-Collection. The figure was rendered in a "retro" black and white color scheme, and came with a leaflet, personalized with cartoon screen captures.
History Collection
- Starscream (2004)

Titanium Series
- Starscream (3" Robot Masters, 2006)
- Accessories: Pistol, "cloud" base, Display stand
- Released in the second wave of "Robot Masters", Titanium Series Starscream is a small, non-transforming die-cast metal figurine, based upon his Generation 1 cartoon appearances. He is sculpted holding a pistol in his left hand (Why? He's got guns on his arms!) and holding up his palm outward with his right, while using his jets to fly up.
- This mold was also used to make Titanium Thundercracker.
Kiss Players
- Atari-scream (2007)
- A redeco of the PVC figurine of Atari Hitotonari released the previous year, this black-costumed version of the figure represents Atari while she was possessed by Starscream, as seen in the Information Administration Teletraan 15 Go! Go! manga. It was available only as an online-order exclusive from Dengeki Hobby magazine.
Robot Heroes
- Starscream (Mirage Vs Starscream, 2007)
- Starscream is a two inch high figure sculpted in a super deformed style and articulated at the shoulders. This figure was later redecoed into (guess what) Thundercracker for the Jazz vs. Thundercracker set, and Skywarp for the "Decepticon Sneak Attack" set.
Boss Coffee
- Starscream (2008)
- A non-transforming PVC figure of Starscream was released as part of a promotion by Boss Coffee. The small figure was randomly included with single cans of the company's "Rainbow Mountain Blend" coffee, contained in a plastic capsule affixed to the top of can which then became a display base for the figurine once removed. Starscream features articulation at the shoulders and waist, and came with a small catalog leaflet that could be folded up and attached to the lid/base to form a diorama background for added display value.
- Starscream (2008)
- A larger, metallic gold version of Starscream was also part of the promotion. Nearly twice as tall as the smaller figure, it was not merely an upsized version, but an entirely different sculpt, with a notably broader wingspan. This Starscream was randomly included with two-packs of Rainbow Mountain Blend coffee cans, which featured a double-wide plastic capsule to hold him.
Attacktix
- Starscream
- The Attacktix Starscream game piece was to be a small figure depicting on his robot mode. A missile-type piece, he would have featured an oversized null-ray missile launcher on his right arm. Starscream would have been a Captain-class piece worth 30 points.
- Hasbro displayed Starscream at a few conventions, but he was ultimately canceled alongside the rest of the Attacktix line.
 Game over. |
3D Battle-Card Game
- Classic Starscream (2007)

Although Hasbro stock photography (right) shows him with his wings pointing down, they are detachable and are meant to be put in the standard upwards position.
- Starscream (2018)
- Somehow even more deformed than the original Mugg, this new evergreen-inspired Starscream has sculpted wings and a unique helmet. Pressing down on his helmet will cause him to switch to one of three expressions: neutral, angry, and "about to be hit by Megatron".

Joe and Transformers franchises in toy form.
- As well as various detachable components, Starscream comes with an enormous number of stickers, including Autobot kill-markings; "D-22" markings; multiple symbols for "Decepticon Airforces" and "Jetron Airforces" (which include designs drawing on Starscream's crown from The Transformers: The Movie and the original "tetrajet" design of the G1 Seekers); "Waspinator", "Starscream Ghost Attack" and "Kremzeek Attack" symbols; fake rubsigns (in both "un-rubbed" and "half-rubbed" forms); and a combined Decepticon/Cobra insignia, originally used during promotion of the G.I.
