Just in is an in-box image of both Studio Series Voyager WFC Starscream and 86 Scrapheap!
Scrapheap we had seen before while Starscream is a first look. We should be getting more on both of these soon, so stay tuned.
Let us know your first impressions in the discussion thread!
Update: Additional Starscream pics here.

As a die hard Screamer fan, I am getting it.

So disappointed in this figure, it may be a good “toy” but as a representation of WFC scream is really inaccurate and as much as I want it to be okay but it really should of been so much better. A simple comparison like yours show how poor it is now the novelty has worn off.
One thing I’ve realised since coming back to collecting is that the figures are getting worse no matter the line, budgets are too tight, designers are either getting lazy or restrained too much by budget and the hollowness of the figures now is terrible.

Scrapheap is pretty great, although it would be nice if they'd do a little more work on the bike modes too.
Starscream is just so unnecessary and unexciting. He's hardly the worst figure ever, but why are we adding these to studio series if we aren't getting extremely accurate to the source material, including scale?

it looks fine not a big deal close enough

Honestly, the chest and shoulder spikes are the only areas where I don't think it's better. I actually prefer the arms and legs on the new one.
But that torso is a dealbreaker.

I wonder if some Toyhax stickers covering some of the canopy would help it look better.
*insert gripe about how we shouldn’t have to buy other things to make our toys good but I’d rather the option exist than not*

The cockpit being 50% bigger than it's supposed to be and being the wrong shape entirely is not "close enough".

Even transplanting the old chest over the new one is an obvious improvement.

I don't agree its close enough to not be a big deal

If it looks fine to you, that's okay but that's not what you were saying. You were saying the new one looks more accurate, and seeing as they posted the game's CAD file, we can clearly see it is not accurate. And besides that, even if you like it it doesn't mean that the cockpit isn't unnecessarily bloated and doesn't look bad because it does. This version of Starscream never had such a fat window on his chest and it ruins his look in both modes.

I mean if u need a concept for a new wing for him as well im down to send you my concept
Revan1307
i could care less about cad files it looks fine to me it my opinion.
iper3531
I see that being a upgrade same with the wings
iper3531
Hay bud I got a old concept for some wings if u wonna use em
iper3531
Now If they went off concept than making a convertible wing desighn in a 3rd party creator would work I mean heck I've got a older desighn if anyone wonts to talk about somehow ingenering a new wing. Also cutting the fat from that helmet
iper3531
I mean im ready for this character to come out they say its the place to store the nose cone and head but with what third partys are doing we will most likely get a upgrade new chest and probably some parts forming wings for shuttle mood couse it is tech vtol mode honesyly

Did you not see the game CAD showing how wrong your statement is?

The images are obviously the same… One's just bigger…
Revan1307
I disagree it looks pretty accurate to the game to me

The new one has a bloated cockpit, which ruins the robot mode and tiny wings, which ruins the jet mode. How are you going to say this thing is better when the Deluxe has bigger wings? This thing is ugly in all its forms.
