Thanks to Y.C.H Hobby 玩具店 we can share our first images of a color sample of the impressive Officially Licensed Bludgeon Statue By Azure Sea Studio.
Starscream is designed in a unique and different stylized style. He’s flying over some clouds in a great dynamic pose shooting his blasters and some missiles. The size of the statue is about 79.00 cm tall and it will feature lights and an exclusive extra head with a crown.
See all the mirrored images on this news post after the jump and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

I like the design but not a fan of a pure silver bot

Actually, it's totally inspired in a IDW design. It's just idw on steroids. It's what this company makes. And sorry everyone for posting in a waited thread. And no, a design being trash is completely relative. You may not like it, your problem. See this post https://www.reddit.com/r/Transforme…mind/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share well, it doesn't look like people hate Dorito which has nothing to see with G1 Starscream besides helmet, wings and turning into a plane. And people like it for reasons like, the aerodynamics, birds legs that totally make sense in a jet bot. Also, that thing was intimidating AF. Or Barricade, which is even more liked than his original counterpart that many don't even know that exists. The problem of those movies is how bad the characters are used, and well, how bad the movies are. I read for example Starscream's Reign comic, and damn, I love the Dorito way more there. Making something new has absolutely no problem. Isn't it what Beast Wars did in a way? Or TFP Starscream, which I personally don't like, but I never see people hating that bcs it doesn't look like G1. Transformers is about change, it's the concept of the franchise
In anyway, talking about the topic, this is just the best Starscream design so far. Damn, this is the best Transformer design I have seen in my life. Ohhh if Bumblebee movie had gone for this direction, but many of those designs were so simple and copy pasted. In anyway the Cybertron scene was made in last minute, I hope we get more complex designs next time. And sorry for posting here. Many may have thought it was some news.

Are we sure it’s not BlitzScream?
Not sure how I feel about this. It looks like a conglomeration of iterations of Starscream. A bit of Gundam also. It is an outstanding looking figure I’m still very partial to my 3A BlitzScream

Looks sick af, shame about the crown, would love to see without it.

Azure Sea Studio's general MO seems to be to take an existing design and royally beef/detail the fuck out of it. In this case, the design point of origin appears to be Power of the Primes Voyager Starscream. That's where the white/grey forearm panels come from. And the big clompy boots, as opposed to Starscream's more traditional wedge toe. Or maybe, with the split wing edge, possibly Guido Guidi's IDW Seeker design (only used by Thundercracker, canonically), which PotP Starscream's design loosely adapted.

TF meets gundam.

Awesome looking figure. Why did they paint the top of his arm white? All blue would have looked nice.

Looks like a mix of Starscream, macross full armour, gundam and tf movie bb style but better. It looks sick honestly, wasn't really feeling prime as much as bludgeon or ss, fallen looking sick as well.
In short, these by far look like the best new tf designs ever, only thing better was dw comics style tf and asw tf g1 game style (even though that games sucked), but this sick as fuck.

Feet are to big and shaped like feet to evoke Rob for me. I think "Gears of War" whenever i look at these statues.
MrLemming
Just gonna say it, he looks less like Starscream and more like a more complicated Gundam than your average ones…
j.a.f.o.
I get vibe of Rob Liefeld-level of ridiculousness (m0Ar PoUchEz) from the proportions and overall aesthetics.

Some parts of this statue are cool. But some parts I am trying to figure out. Is Starscream shooting the missiles because it looks strange. Is this Armada Starscream?
Meister61
Lol I wasn't even talking about how bad the movies are, which they are. I was talking about the bot designs lol. Cause even with these better designs the movies would have still been utter shit. Last 1 was pretty good, bb one. All the others before it were trash.

Love that design.

I agree in that I do wish all the movies, BB included were even closer to this, though BB is the closest it has gotten to this so far. Would have been great to see this style of designs across all the bay movies, we could have had 5 movies full of these awesome visuals. Hopefully with the direction BB is going in, later movies are closer to this.
And just ignore anyone telling you to stop complaining, you and everyone should always be welcome to speak their mind and critique TF related stuff.
This statue is amazing, if I had the room and dough, I would collect them. Just neither of each to justify it…. yet.
