• Starscream (Warrior, 2023)

Part of the third wave of EarthSpark Warrior-class toys, Starscream is another redeco of the Cyberverse Starscream toy, converting from robot to jet and back. His Action Attack gimmick is activated by winding up a spring in his waist and releasing the upper part of the figure, allowing it to spin and flip out its spring-loaded wing blades with centrifugal force. The waist can be locked in place by pegging his landing gear onto a peg on his backside. Additionally, he has non-firing blasters molded into his forearms with 5 mm post hole hands.

This figure was listed on French toy website "joueclub.fr", prior to any official announcement by Hasbro.

Notes

"Wait, you said "become a ghost", not "come to G.H.O.S.T."? Whoops, must've misread the memo, that's on me."

• Starscream's eyes are noticeably colored blue like the Autobots, as opposed to the red used by most of the other Decepticons, with the exception of his first appearance.
