Robot Masters Starscream

Here is another one of those gems from Japan. There was a brief toy line over seas called Transformers: Robot Masters. This line featured smaller transformable action figure versions of Optimus Prime, Beast Megatron, Star Saber, and the figure in this spotlight, Starscream. This figure was unique because before the Classics line, this was the first Starscream figure to look and feel like the animated version of the character. Although he did feature some skinny arms, Starscream more closely resembled his animated form than any other toy did. He even came with a cool accessory which clipped on to his chest to recreate the missile launchers he had in the Generation One episode Fire on the Mountain. This mold would eventually be repainted as Thundercracker and Skywarp. If you have the opportunity to get this figure, he is worth a look.
