I admit this is a little underwhelming, but then again real F22s aren't shiny. I still want this version though.
Actually, real F-22's ARE shiny. Most of the aircraft is painted in a weird metallic gray that changes tone depending on the angle of the light hitting it. That's why in some photos the radome and edges of the aircraft (which are painted in a RAM paint that does not have this effect) sometimes appear lighter and sometimes appear darker than the rest of the plane.
It gives modelers fits to replicate the look, and has led to products like this:

And for the record, this version looks so sweet that every time I look at my Hasbro version, I hate the tattoos even more...

It just seems odd because Masterpiece has only been used for G1 and Leader has only been used for the movie and animated lines. The 2 have never crossed paths before but it makes perfect sense. In my opinion all the Leader class figures have been "Masterpieces" when compared to their deluxe or voyager counterparts.

I will agree with that on ROTF Leader Optimus Prime, however, not all leader classes have been up to the level of Masterpice. Would you class Movie 1 Optimus a Masterpiece or both Megatron's? What about Animated Megatron? It is pretty easy to transform compared to Masterpiece figures.

i would have to disagree on Rotf Prime........it sucks. The feet on Prime come off way to easy.
A TOY THAT BIG COMES APART..........

Well, I guess I got lucky with my RotF Prime. I have no trouble with him at all. Also, the only way to better it was to slightly remold it and give him a transforming gun.

Which TakaraTomy did: Buster Optimus Prime.
I'm not getting Leader Screamer either way, I'll be happy with a discounted Voyager. He's simply too big and gimmicky for his type of character.

Oh, the toy...hm, it looks pretty cool. I won't be getting one though since I already have a movie Starscream, don't need another one.
Posted by Autobot032 on July 18th, 2010 @ 11:59am CDT
However, I do like the fact that their's isn't made out of gold and brown plastic. I still fear that ours will crumble when the time is right. Just way too much gold to be playing with.

That's exactly what it is. He thinks he's being funny and cool, but he's not. And I'm so sick and tired of Go-Bot hate. Their show and movie were better quality than G1.

This toy is just a tarted up Leader-class figure and while it looks nice, a masterpiece it is not.
Besides there are already too many Masterpiece Starscream figures. Two main colorways, and then repaints as the other Seekers. How about a Masterpiece Soundwave or something? Masterpiece G1 Bumblebee or Ironhide? Full-trailer Masterpiece Ultra Magnus? That would be an awesome figure.

...Deluxe? I think you might have the wrong figure in mind. There was no Deluxe Class Starscream...

At least try the US Leader Class. If it doesn't change your mind into upgrading, nothing will.

Well, technically, Protoform Starscream from the 2007 Bayverse line IS a deluxe Starscream.

You are correct, and I stand corrected. I had forgotten all about the protoforms.
...I'll bet they go for a pretty penny now. I hear 'Screamer has GPS problems.
