(NOTE: Because this is a repaint, this is not a full-blown review. This mainly covers any changes made to the mold and the color scheme, and merely compares it to Nightglider Transmetal 2. For a review on the mold itself, read the review of Nightglider Transmetal 2 here.)

    Dark Scream's color scheme completely differs from his predecessor, Nightglider. Dark Scream has a mostly "arctic" shade of colors, mostly light blue and silver being the main ones. Although it would work on some animals, it really doesn't fit a flying squirrel that well at all. Have you EVER seen a squirrel with a color even CLOSE to pale sky blue? Dark Scream also has slightly more paint detailing than Nightglider, but it's nothing substantial; just a little extra stuff around his beast mode eyes and on his robot mode waist.
    No mold changes were made to this toy, so it retains all the negatives and positives of Nightglider in that respect.
    Although Dark Scream isn't a BAD toy, he's not really a GOOD one either. And Nightglider has a better color scheme, in my opinion.

(NOTE: When transforming Dark Scream, ALWAYS move the head through the neck slot BACKWARDS! It will not fit if this is not done!)
