Pretender Starscream Request

I don't have Pretender Starscream to test this, but I see the entry says the tail fin guns can't be stored, which I'm fairly sure is wrong. I believe the fin guns can peg into the holes on either side of the upper part of the rifle. Can anyone verify this for me?--MCRG 22:17, 4 August 2010 (EDT)

Secret Starscream

Nakas of Autobase Aichi has put forth the idea that "Secret Starscream", like Super Collection Figure Skywarp, was never actually sent out due to the bankruptcy of Keibunsha, the publisher. I *think* either the Binaltech And TF Collection book or one of the Generations 2009 books shows Secret Starscream, but I'd have to check to be sure, and I'm not sure what exactly is said about the piece either way. --Monzo 20:31, 10 December 2009 (EST)

Ah-ha. It was in Generations 2009 volume 2.

Secret Starscream

Anyone want to take a crack at what that says? (At least we can get rid of the red speculation 'til then.) --Monzo 23:33, 12 December 2009 (EST)

Transmetal Waspinator

I think it should also be considered a Starscream toy due to its portrayal in fiction. Trust me in this one.ACIDSTORM92 20:47, 28 February 2010 (EST)

Which fiction? --ItsWalky 21:42, 28 February 2010 (EST)

Probably the Sourcebook... --Detour 21:47, 28 February 2010 (EST)

• facepalm* --ItsWalky 22:12, 28 February 2010 (EST)

Was that a yes?--ACIDSTORM92 21:41, 16 August 2010 (EDT)

Alternate caption idea

I think perhaps a funnier caption for his first Masterpiece toy would be "I look like.... Thundercracker." ZeldaTheSwordsman 19:05, 22 July 2010 (EDT)

GID MW Starscream Missiles

I have an odd variant of the MW Starscream figure that includes Glow-In-The-Dark missiles. The stock in South Eastern CT (as well as who-knows-where-else) seemed to include these in good numbers, as the original that I bought (and still have) included them, as did a second example that I sent to Orson Christensen/Sidecutter (of Captured Prey) in trade (or if my memory is failing, he may have verified that the one he bought in KY also included them...in any event, he confirmed that I didn't have the only one)

I have always assumed (since they're not standard) that this was just an example of lax QC on the line, and someone tossed GID plastic pellets into the hopper because it was pretty close in color to the right plastic and no one noticed.

In any event, I recently pulled the box with MW Screamer out of storage and tonight I verified that I really really do have phosphorescent missiles. I tried a few different things to take a picture but haven't had much luck. Any suggestions on how to provide photographic proof are welcome, or if the powers-that-be are willing to accept my tale on faith, I could just add a note to the entry... --Destrongerlupus 21:10, 16 November 2010 (EST)
