Has The Curse Finally Been Lifted??? | #transformers Gamer Edition Voyager Starscream Review - Zábava
When the gamer edition Starscream was revealed, eBay was selling out of the original figure at a rapid rate.
I can see why. I have the original and the alt mode, chest, and wing size are more accurate on the deluxe. That CAD file is not the same model as the one in the game. Remember they lost the original files for the game. That is why they cannot re release the game. Now it goes for stupid money.
@@jonathanb1987 that was actually debunked about a week after the announcement of the potential re-releases of the games. Activision themselves confirmed they never lost the files they have them safe and sound, but they need permission from Hasbro.
@jonathanb1987 last half of what you said is not true at all
@@jonathanb1987false information! They have all the cad files
@@GalvatronStudios I just checked and you are right they didn't lose the files! This is the something I am so glad to be wrong with. I hope Hasbro, and Activision can re-release these games again soon. I want to play the multi-player again.
I've been saying since this thing was revealed, aside from the chunky cockpit, a lot of the complaints I saw about the figure were just quirks of the actual game design lol. Like the wings being "too small," that's just kinda how this Starscream looks.
Exactly. His wings weren’t expanded until the FOC design came around. His wings were small in the original and anyone who played the game would’ve noticed
I just wish his chest was anything like the game. Also his arms are ridiculously flat.
@mau4604 same for megatron's cannon
It's insane how most of the criticism on Optimus prime, Megatron, and starscream was that they were actually accurate to how they look in game
Megatron got complaints that points out he's skinny, but he was that skinny in the game
And his alt mode got bashed like crazy because it was also kind of accurate
Honestly his chest looks a lot better in person it is a really fun figure to have highly recommended to pick up
That intro for Starscream was beyond badass to see.
THE POSES HE MADE! AMAZING
I agree perfect intro for the figure.
They didn’t need to make the cockpit that big to fit Starscream head into the space. They could’ve had that same piece, but made in the grey plastic and molded to be the area around the cockpit, and then have a separate smaller orange piece connected to that as the cockpit.
Mhm. It's just such an odd design choice that they went with. I'm thinking I might commission someone with 3d modelling/printing experience to model a whole new chest because that's the one part of this figure that continues to bug me
My guess is that it would go over budget. I count 4 molds here (blue, red, grey, and soft, so I have to assume he was made on a retool budget. They probably didn't have the ability to cast the entire mace out of clear plastic as well as the cockpit, then paint them separately.
Once again everyone went crazy angry over a toy they didn't have in hand yet, and once again it was perfectly good in person. I just got it today and like it a lot.
Looks like a legit fun figure. Really like the mace and rifle accessories. Also great to see weapons compatibility outside of just plugging it on his arm. Definitely a future consideration along with GE Prime.
Only problem with ge prime is awful qc
dude that transition from the game cutscene to the figure posing is SICK! keep it up!
10:39 Cloudcover is such a pleasing looking toy. The colours really steal the show here.
I expected everyone to hate on this figure but it seems that its actually a good figure!
Yea everyone...even some of the Hasbro staff was a little down on this figure but from what I've seen it's pretty solid. It could just use some fancier paint but everything else is there.
It’s a good figure with single most bone headed design choice.
There’s no reason for the cockpit to be that big. Like how did Hasbro screw up that badly?
The sniper rifle was lit AF in the High Moon TF games!
Now, it's only a matter of time before we get the other seekers
Starscream got that Cheeto Puff Cockpit
First we had Reactivate Starscream, and now this, which looks stellar based on the footage here. I held off on the pre-order initially, because I was worried he'd somehow get stuck with those senior-citizen knees like the other Decepticons in this line, but thankfully this review has put those worries to rest. I personally don't mind the way the cockpit looks - the faint little ridges in the plastic keep it from looking too plain. Waist swivel on a Seeker is always a great sight to see, too.
Dangit, now I dunno what to do. I was gonna keep to one figure per character, and Reactivate Starscream is still amazing, but this figure looks too good to pass up. I guess I can get him anyway to better fit with my Optimus Prime and Megatron.
What I've noticed is Planet X's mold of the Seekers and Hasbro's mold are both more or less accurate because they represent two states of the alt mode. By default the jet takes one shape in its "hover" mode, which I believe Hasbro used for reference here and Planet X's design is based on the "boost" mode
i really, REALLY hope this figure gets Thundercracker and Skywarp releases
10:15 I always forget to fold out the front of the wings on my Legacy Blitzwing, you aren't alone.
I just want to say you have been my favorite channel this year and I love your videos!
My primary concern is the canopy's durability as it dries due to using a rubbery plastic. Decided to re-order it last night out of a sense of "fine, I'll bite and keep my SSGE one-of-each-mold streak going," and immediately this morning it got in stock to ship out. Should at least look great next to the Planet X one on my shelf.
People weren't complaining about the figure's pose in the stock image. They were complaining about the cockpit.
I'm overall pretty satisfied with how he looks, and I look forward to mine arriving soon.
That said, I still think the solution to the cockpit is just to make it not clear. Opaque plastic with metallic paint, like on Legacy Armadascream, mainly because I worry about the rubber perishing, like TR Mindwipe's wings.
Hopefully for Skywarp and Thundercracker they do that, and eventually, they can reissue Starscream hopefully
Wow you weren’t kidding about that transformation. That’s got some of the most refreshing and interesting steps of any jetformer I’ve ever seen. I don’t collect SS outside of some 86 stuff anymore, but this has me tempted to pick him up as a stand-alone addition.
I really love the face on this guy! Hoping we get skywarp and thundercracker!
I'm not fan of the ss gamer edition but I hope skywarp won't be left behind.
I know you said why they made the cockpit soft instead of hard clear plastic, but my question is why did it need to be clear to begin with? Why does ANY transformer figure need a clear windshield/cockpit? I'm tired of them making these weird decisions with clear parts that ruin the look of a figure, and for what? So you can look through the windshield of a car and see.... What? The robot mode butt through the window? The back of the robots head through a cockpit canopy? There's no full interior for the vehicle modes so who cares if the windshield/cockpit is clear? Just make it a solid painted piece and be done with it.
I almost got one today, but the one I found was missing the two red pieces that sit on top of his shoulders. And because of the open window, they’re just gone. Sad. I’ve seen figures with missing heads and accessories. When will Hasbro learn? I would rather gamble with a completely closed box than to have pieces missing.
Edit: After looking at a bunch of pictures of Starscream in box and watching an unboxing, I figured out that those pieces are packed separately in a little bit of paper so I did get him and he’s awesome. I’m choosing to edit this comment instead of just deleting it because my point still stands. This plastic free packaging has been a problem across all toylines that have adopted it. It allows people to scan each other by putting an old or unwanted figure in the box and returning it. And I’m finding Transformers missing heads and other things.
Here My Ranking all Studios Series WFC Gamer Edition (Worst to Best)
1. WFC Voyager Class Optimus Prime
2. WFC Voyager Class Megatron
3. WFC Voyager Class Starscream
4. WFC Deluxe Class Barricade
5. WFC Deluxe Class Cliffjumper
6. WFC Deluxe Class Bumblebee
Dude, that was coolest intro I’ve seen for a long time.
This figure passes the standard Kamen Rider War Robots “Rider kick test.”
Outstanding review That Toy Guy!!! I hope we get Thundercracker and Skywarp repaints of Starscream. :D I was a little hesitant about adding Starscream to my collection, but your review has convinced me that Starscream is one of the best figures of the Gamer Edition line. Keep on being amazing.
I mean there’s only one question left, right? SHOCKWAVE WHEN?
10:24 the actual wing goes forward and extends to the oockpit though. It's not just that tiny flapper.
Like you said A lot of the Cockpit complaints could have been easily fixed if Hasbro would have painted the sides of the cockpit.
So I recommend, if you can.. and I am saying this to anyone, get some Vallejo Oily Steel paint and it’ll look better…. Seal it with Mr Hobby and it shouldn’t flake.. Or wait for ToyHax to do a decal. That’s all it needs to look better and slim it down.
It’s more visual than anything.
"Once toyhax gets their hands on that cockpit"
~That toy guy, 2024
I just realized that some paint on the sides of the cockpit would make it look smaller and a tad more accurate. Might try that myself when I get him. Also this review convinced me to preorder him lol
Best intro ever, even Gamer bumblebee great work!
The poses you put him in remind me of tlk nitro a little
I dont know how to think about this, the chest strange... I wait for repaints
I think that clear rubbery plastic works in this figure’s favor.
I cant wait for the Nemesis review!
Saw him and ss86 brawn at target a couple weeks ago and picked up brawn, love him but seeing this in person I just ordered him and legacy jhiaxus. Love that his arm has a channel and I really hope they do gamer soundwave next
Bro's chest looks like a Cheeto, Cheeto Scream
Hoping to see some other seekers in this mold
I’m sure Toyhax will make a set that addresses the cockpit & give him a more game accurate look
Dang good video!, the games Star scream has one of my favourite transformers designs alone!!! Do you know anywhere with any studio series Optimus in Ontario? Even used I have missed out on all Optimus’s cause crappy availability?
The intro was O M G
Are you gunne do a review on windblade? + love this starscream
Can't wait for the inevitable Skywarp repaint of this guy!
The legs are kind of similar to the legacy armada starscream ( in transformation)
Mt deluxe skywarp arms ALWAYS popped out!!!
I never fold out the little fins. It makes the alt mode looks bad
Great intro!
Starscream in pictures : what the f*** is this piece of shit
Starscream in hand : damn he's good
Two or three toyhax stickers and he’s perfect, he’s going to be a day one pickup for sure
Love your videos
Just a qq, the peg on ol’ scream’s arm also fits the other weapons too right? Like I could plug an Autobot AR arm cannon onto starscream’s arm instead of the sniper right?
Right.
Godlike transition.
for the cockpit, this could be dumb but make it instead of 1 piece they could make the base hinge as normal plastic then design the cockpit in clear plastic but have like a clip design or a socket design so it clicks into it as one piece but that would be too much work as it cost more
Starscream i liked from the start and felt bad for him being trashed on, so nice to see those who hated him eating their words and i will get this
finally got the nemesis i see and i am exited for the inevitable review, so is it gonna be, Yolopark scourge, The Nemesis, or The worst of year list
Time to find out
When I am getting this for my birthday this year oh I can't wait
I don't get when people say a toy looks better than the leaked images because nine times out of ten nowadays they look the exact same, specifically with this and Animated Bumblebee
I feel like they really didn’t HAVE to put the head in the cockpit because now the whole cockpit is too big but other than that he’s really solid and my second favorite gamer edition figure. The future is looking up for this line!
To be honest aside from the wings I still think the Planet X one is really good. I think it’s one of the best figures I have. It just feels so good to play with and transform even despite the plastic and the occasional sharp edge
If they ever redo barricade, I'm gonna say that the original is a generic decepticon
I think the jet mode would look a lot better if the areas between the cockpit and wings were smoother to continue the shillouette of the wings like in the game model
We judged to harshly, i mean yes the cockpit could have either been smaller or used some silver on the sides of it, besides that i think it's a good figure.
Long live Starscream
It was a problem with Megatron as well, but I hate the fact that he has to hold his mace by the very end of the handle.
i think they should make repaints of like skywarp and thundercracker
I just got him a couple days ago and damn he’s a amazing figure.
What are the chances we get Thundercracker and Skywarp. Like, name another game where you can PLAY as those 2 characters so those versions of them are super memorable to me. Question should’ve been “how SOON we’ll get the repaints?”
Looks nice. Better than the reactivate one?
Alright... why did that intro have to go SO. HARD.
8/10. missing Jobby doing Starscream voice.
The cockpit just needs the trim painted white and it would be so much better looking
That cockpit/chest really needs some reprolables, isn't it??? 😂🤣
Hoping some stickers or something to fix the cockpit. Everything else is good to me
Screamer looks good. Hoping for both of the Waves.
Finally. The curse of GE has been lifted.
Which starscream would be a better figure to get out of reactivate starscream and gamer edition starscream? I was drawn to reactivate screamer because of the blue eyes and just how cool he looks with the damaged/replaced parts, but ge starscream also looks really good and i think its the same continuity as tfp starscream
I'd just appreciate it if they finally let the clear plastic on hinges rest. No matter how you do it, it always seems to cause problems, be it fragility, crummy paint matching, being flexible and thus unpaintable like here, or any number of others.
I can't think of a single example where it would've looked way worse to have solid plastic of an appropriate color. Even here it would've been more accurate: in-game, they don't actually render the cockpit with any transparency, it's solid orange.
Clear plastic only ever works as inserts/aesthetic parts, never anything that needs to move.
So I really want to know if I should be paranoid that the backpack on mime is weird. Like the back is kinda not together. His things that his wings are attached to does not fall into the indent on the back. Kinda feels like he has a bit of a bend
Honestly the look of the jet reminds me of the movie the last Starfighter.
As I said, when gamer edition began, it will be meh at first, but as gamer edition went along it would get better this is when it starts getting better.
"That cockpit...its soft and large" -thattoyguy 2024
this review made me put a preorder down for this figure and cancel my SS Slug preorder 😂
Random question i’m in the middle of trying to mod as gamer cliff to do the double canon thing like in tfp do Y’all have any ideas
love the intro 🤓
My only complaint about this fig is the cockpit I feel like if it didn't look so big he wouldn't look so fat
What camera do you use?
I might just pick him up during amazon sales
The simplest solution to the cockpit?
Don't use translucent plastic.
It just needs to glow orange, are his energon lines transparent? Didn't think so.
I accept enlarged cockpit rather than adding a fake chest.
If I need to choose between legacy armada starscream and SS gamer edition starscream, which starscream you will recommend me to buy?
The gun for Starscream kinda looks like g1 Megatron gun mode
Thats my 2 favorite starscream design
Hey i like it, even the soft thing as the cockpit, I don't mind it honestly
what stands do you recommend for posing?
I really wish there was a way to play these games on pc, I never got to experience them and I’d love to now
this thing is so fun to play with
Ngl I kinda hated the design of this figure before but now my mind has changed now that I’ve seen this video and I might get him if I find him in store
I want a job at Hasbro taking stock images.
"his arms aren't as thin as the pictures show" 5:02 are you sure about that? cuz that looks thin
