A friend of my sister bought about 15 loose Transformers in a lot auction from eBay. I was looking over the photos he sent, and was unable to identify this guy:




I don't even recognize the mold. Knockoff, maybe?

Wrong about the missiles...they were green.

You're right about being wrong. :)  MW Starscream's were a wonderfully wonderful toxic-waste green.

And damn, is that dusty; there's a half-hour's work with dampened Q-Tips.

No use of the label sheet, either, I notice...sacrilege!

MW Starscream I missed the boat buying him so I settled for the King Atlas recolor in Universe just to have the mold

Update...those green missiles were bothering me for some reason..I could have sworn MW Starscream's missiles weren't green...and it turns out, I was half-right.  

They do come in green, but they also come in an off-white!  I just pulled mine from storage and his missiles are off-white...they almost look like that plastic that glows in the dark.  I was the original owner, getting from KB back in the day...so there was no parts swap involved.  Still have the plastic tree as well.

So, I took a gander at Fred's site...and sure enough, both variants are documented.

Just another variant to throw in the mix.  :)

One of these days I oughta just read the entire VariQuest site. Probably help if it were arranged less haphazardly.

Which he IS supposedly working on, as part of eventually giving Y!GC the heave-ho.
