ROTF Leader Starscream toy preview

ROTF Leader Starscream action figure preview photo.

A friend showed me the link to the above photo and he tells that this big guy is on his Transformers want list.  I can’t see the tail end of the Jet mode clearly but I hope that ROTF Leader Starscream will not have his hands seen sticking out from under the Jet tail, like for the ROTF Voyager version. 

The above ROTF Leader Starscream looks like a cross between the Transformers The Movie (TFTM) and ROTF Voyager Starscream toys.  He spots a right hand that is more articulated than the ROTF Voyager version, and a left hand that resembles the one on the TFTM Voyager version.

ROTF Leader Starscream looks like silver in color, with some touches of gold or bronze on him.  I’m sure he’ll be very well sort after.  If only Hasbro decides to release a ROTF Leader Grindor too.  Now that would complete the famous and unforgettable “forest fight scene” in the ROTF movie.  But I guess asking for a ROTF Leader Grindor from Hasbro might be a tall order…

So do you like ROTF Leader Starscream?  If you do, will you get him when he’s released in the retail stores?  Feel free to share your comments here!

    It seems like there is no ending for ROTF transformers as HASBRO keeps on making various class figures. This leader class Starscream definitely looks good to me but have been spending a lot of money in ROTF series. I will stop this series after getting my megatron, devastator, HA Skids and HA Mudflap.

    I’m not getting this. Too large for me. I only get figures up to Deluxe Class and very rarely at that, my collection is mostly Legends Class.

    I’m very happy with the ROTF Starscream keychain i got recently. the figure does not transform but is poseable and has good details, the size is somewhere in between Legends and Scout:

    So you decided not to be milked further by Hasbro. I agree that buying what you like best and not the entire range.

    Hi LEon,

    Leader Starscream looks very nice but with limited storage space at home, I prefer to get Buster OP instead :)

    Hi deSMOnd,

    You have a very sizeable ROTF toy collection among the collectors I know. Perhaps you can get the remaining ones that are not so crucial, when they eventually go on clearance sale :)

    Hi Bany,

    That’s a cool keychain! There’s another version of ROTF Starscream keychain sold at the TRU
    outlets here and that keychain figure is around scout size. Thanks for the links! :)
