I know they had to squeeze the requisite Ghost Starscream in there somewhere, but I'd have preordered the second it happened if they had actually remolded Starscream to look more like his jank-ass character model from the Beast Wars cartoon.

It's amazing that they took a square-edged design, modeled it into a 3D design where square edges are by far the easiest way to go, and went to all the trouble of making him oddly puffy and round.

Also it's on on screen for less-than-a-second flashes, right? And he's suppose to transpose with Waspinator.

Yep. I came in to post that but you beat me to it. If memory serves (and it usually doesn't!), there was a flash (or flashes) of lightning and it showed Starscream for a half-second or so. As iffy as the CGI animation was back then, that image was probably never meant to receive serious screentime or scrutiny.

There was also that fake flashback where Starscream got killed by Unicron, in which the model is seen again, this time from behind, as Unicron blasts him into oblivion.

And, judging from that very blue face, it's likely that Mainframe was using Starscream's Marvel Transformers: Universe profile artwork as a base.

Probably cuz all of these leaks are from like internal catalogues distributed to retailers that very much are not meant for public consumption and the people who leak them could possibly lose their jobs if they find out they're leaking them to the actual people who post the leaks.

Yep. They're also just quite small pictures in the catalogue, so they look bad so they're blown up a lot.

So, it's a different line named "Dramatic Capture Series", rather than part of Legacy. And using molds from lines that precede Legacy's existence.

Based on precedent set by Selects, Buzzworthy Bumblebee, and the like, I guess Dramatic Capture Series warrants its own thread, yes?

If I didn't know better I'd swear that was the original toy. Of which I still have a MOC version that is worthless so I'm not sure I'll even buy this one.
