Conquest is made of the ashes of one’s enemies. 3A is back with their fourth (and last) Transformers Dark of the Moon high end figure and this time it’s none other than Decepticon Air Commander Starscream. Starscream is rocking his tatted up look from DotM in his F-22 mode. His unique look from the Movieverse is in full effect with the reverse knees, wide chest and bug-like head sculpt. This is the retail version which comes with an extra forearm missile launcher. The 3A exclusive version comes with a hand saw accessory as well.
3A have released 4 DOTM figures – Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, and now Starscream. We have a copy of DOTM Starscream here at TFW2005 HQ and have run it through a detailed photo session so everyone can check it out. He should be shipping now! You can check it out here:

3A Transformers Dark of the Moon Starscream

Extremely detailed
Holds a pose and is weighted well
Lights!
Perfect representation of Movieverse Starscream for your shelves
Cons
None
Overall
Starscream wound up being best engineered of them all. No breakages, joints move smoothly. Can hold it’s weight in almost all poses. Sculpt and paint are damn near perfection as usual. As a representation of Movieverse Starscream – 100% on point. Problem is, personally, this design bugs me (no pun intended). That’s more of an issue with the decisions made at Bay HQ 10 years ago, not 3A. He’s an impressive beast on the shelf and really works well with Megatron, it’s an evil looking line up posed out.
This is the last offering from 3A in their Dark of the Moon line. They’ve shown off Generation 1 inspired designs in the same vein and they also look outstanding. I can’t wait for those to drop. The folks over there know their stuff and execute well. I don’t think there are any plans, but I will toss it in here once again – extend the DotM license one more – and give us a Barricade in Bumblebee scale. That’s a new generation’s arch rivalry and having them posed out against each other, Camaro vs Mustang, Autobot vs Decepticon, Good vs Evil – would be perfection. If you agree – let them know on the 2005 Boards!
