I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Starscream

Machine Wars was a weird line for a lot of reasons. Aside from the limited life span and exclusive relationship with KB Toys, it was odd to see Hasbro doing rehashed G1 and G2 figures as a follow up to Beast Wars. Even so, the idea did present a few decent toys that could only be found previously as European exclusives.

Starscream is an all purpose Transformer that looks cool in both vehicle and robot mode, but doesn't offer much complexity in either. As a jet he features a fun bomb dropping mechanism, as well as a kind of periscope gimmick. In robot mode he features a menacing stance, which may also be accompanied by a look of gratitude for not painting him like his European G1 ancestor Skyquake.
