>>9850716Other than the backpack the articulation is the biggest upgrade over the original. Since, y'know, this toy actually has shoulders and hips and a neck.
Starscream is rocking ball joints at his neck and hips. Swivels at his shoulders, biceps and thighs. And hinges at the shoulders, elbows, and knees.
Just the basic stuff, no waist or wrists or ankles.
As
>>9850708 pointed out the biggest step down for this toy are the swords. Look at how dinky they are!
I like to think someone at HasTak really fought to keep Starscream's sword as it was for the original character but just couldn't win out against the budget constraints.
