Blog higekumatoytoy has gotten it’s hands on the newest Alternity release: Starscream! No longer a jet, Starscream trades in his alt-mode for a road bound Mitsuoka Orochi. Even though now based on a car, his robot mode still has details that tie him into his previous incarnations, especially the wings that are folded out under his car roof backpack.

You don't know if he can't fly into the stars.

Well, this StarScream-Wannabe looks nice, but I can'T see it as a StarScream, as long as he's not a Jet.
It's a good Mold, but the Name's pretty much confusing, RoadScream would be more fitting, as he can't fly to the Stars in this form.

Nice job Blitz, I am wondering if this is a paint mishap (on the eyes) from the factory. Hmm…
Blitz.
my go at trying to make the face a little more normal its still not perfect (the eyes sweep back a little too far plus the chin is still on the big side)
IMO doing this in real life could be as easy as a little bit of paint or for those who dont want to risk it you could even cut it out of a sticker sheet.

Boy have they ever! I just spend $100 on getting the coolest Alternities yet! Can't wait to have them in my hands!

BBTS just sent me an email that THEY HAVE ARRIVED!!

Thanks for doing these, as I will be repainting the head just like this. Just painting the crest and top half of the eyes makes it look far more normal.

I'm not seeing Starscream, but I'm seeing a pretty decent Tracks repaint in it.

I was speaking more about the Cybertron version because his alt-mode was predominantly grey, though, which would make a good parallel to a silver car Thundercracker.

Henkei Thundercracker had a lot of silver on him too, between his knees, shins, and foot detail. It was the equivalent to Skywarp's purple and Starscream's blue & gold on that release.

I do like that idea a lot. Provided enough of the robot parts are blue, it'd fit with the other two and their "reminiscent, but different" colour schemes.
Actually, if you go the silver car/blue robot route, then it'd be quite reminiscent of Cybertron Thundercracker, while Cybertron Skywarp was also prominently purple. And there's certainly a bit of Armada Seeker going on in the design.

He looks OK i might get him

Well, I think making the top half of each eye black would help the head a tiny bit.

Ok I saw Skywarp first and loved it…..Screamer looks great as well!!! But my next car is still going to be purple!!!

Silver is an option too that would work well for Thundercracker.
That's the thing with these figures, they always are so much better in hand then the pictures lead you to believe.
