GogDog Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 (edited) Look at the back half, wings back (new Starscream toy from next year's TF Animated): Edited July 29, 2007 by GogDog Quote
Sumdumgai Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Well it has forward swept wings, but they're at the middle rather than the back of the fighter. Looks like crap to me. Quote
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 IMO... I think that whole TF animated series is going to be crap. There goes the TF franchise. Quote
GogDog Posted July 29, 2007 Author Posted July 29, 2007 Well it has forward swept wings, but they're at the middle rather than the back of the fighter. Looks like crap to me. Well, I meant some of the other details, like where the 19's shoulders are in fighter mode, and where the arm shield is. I know its a stretch, I was just bored. Quote
Sumdumgai Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 I can see where you're coming from. The back does look like it was influenced by the 19 (in particular the M7 -19s). Quote
eugimon Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 reminds me of crap, cleverly arranged to look like a plane. so, no. doesn't look like a yf-19 at all. Quote
Vermillion21 Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Looks like a chunky monkey/super deformed version of a YF-19 ... Quote
Auto Pilot Off Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 reminds me of those GI joe aircraft vehicle i fogot the name/.... Quote
big F Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Opps somebody put his wings on backwards. I remember when my bro did that as a kid to make him look more Cybertronian. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 The new Starscream is clearly based off of the S-37. And Kawamori likes to joke that the S-37 was based off of the YF-19. Quote
myk Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 reminds me of those GI joe aircraft vehicle i fogot the name/.... The Conquest X-30 is what you're thinking about. And no, that SS abomination does not remind me of the '19... Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 (edited) reminds me of those GI joe aircraft vehicle i fogot the name/.... That GIJoe craft your talking about (although forgoten it's name) looks better than this pos! The only decent Screamer toys out there are the TF MP-03 (hurry up with the canon scheme you lazy bastards!) http://www.hlj.com/product/TKT71889 and the Energon Starscream. (i haven't experience with the other series SScreamers out there...) But for cool jet reasons and excellent posing Battroid/Robot modes. These two are my fav choices. http://www.16bit.com/tfenergon-estarscream.asp Anything else is gamen. I got both variants of the Energon Sscream (canon anime scheme and original Starscream colour scheme) and they both rock. Seriously poseable, i got them doing great poses in Humanoid form (what term does one use for robot form for Transformers?) and Gerwalk mode even. They are seriously cool. Unfortunately i watched a few episodes of Starsceam in Transformers Amada, and i thought i'd go grab the toy (without seeing pics of it transformed, only seen a pic of the box) and to my disbelief it was a POS. Just like this new one i reckon. i'll do up some pics later of the Energon Starscreams i got with the cool poses.... Edited July 29, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
Vermillion21 Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 I really like the Energon Starscream toy too ... it's a nice TF mold. Quote
Graham Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Moving this Trannie crap out of the Macross toy forum. Graham Quote
David Hingtgen Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 I was debating moving it, but I forgot that Graham's so anti-TF and would have wanted it moved immediately. Quote
the_foul_fowl Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 actually, I thought it looked more like the NES-1 from KISSDUM... Quote
mcpaz Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Mmmmm (looks it again...) remind me a yf-19... Mmmm... NO. It doesn't. Graham is anti-TF? But he's bought two starscream and two MP Ops, didn't he? Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 WHOA! This totally kills! And here I was, willing to pay 200+ bucks for a FB YF-19. I'm cancelling my order immediatly and getting this instead! Quote
Knight26 Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 I know what it reminds me of, the core fighter from Gundam 0083. Quote
big F Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Graham is anti-TF? But he's bought two starscream and two MP Ops, didn't he? Mmm.... but look at who designed them..... Quote

Black Valkyrie Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Guys take a look at this, kinda familiar : Quote
big F Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 (edited) Guys take a look at this, kinda familiar : It`s got the same laser bits as the classic voyager Jetfire has except they`re orange instead of blue. Edited July 30, 2007 by big F Quote
Vermillion21 Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Moving this Trannie crap out of the Macross toy forum. Graham Harsh mate .... Quote
Twoducks Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Oh my god, SS is wiping his ass with the sacred YF-19 shield! http://tformers.com/ig.php?mode=view&a...0&start=120 Plane mode is really fugly but robot mode looks nice. http://tformers.com/ig.php?mode=view&a...00&start=80 Quote
Dante74 Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 How anyone can compare that piece of crap to a YF-19 is beyond me... Looks at those upper legs in robot mode, it's...it's... *faints* Quote
eugimon Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Actually, it does look like SS is taking more than a page from the VF handbook. The jet nozels splitting in half to form the feet, the engine nacels swinging down to the nose cone to deploy for bot mode, the arms tucked away between the legs in fighter mode... too bad they couldn't figure out how to make him not look a giant heaping pile. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 It`s got the same laser bits as the classic voyager Jetfire has except they`re orange instead of blue. I ment how the legs and arms put togther in fighter mode like the VF-1 and YF-19. Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Oh my god, SS is wiping his ass with the sacred YF-19 shield! http://tformers.com/ig.php?mode=view&a...0&start=120 Plane mode is really fugly but robot mode looks nice. http://tformers.com/ig.php?mode=view&a...00&start=80 Is that glue on the ankles? Looks like the toy is a floppy mess. You have to glue the hinges it to make it stand! Quote
Guest sh002 Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Nope it doesn't remind me of a YF-19. Looks more like a modern Cyclonus. Quote
