(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 Battle Blade Starscream. For a review on the mold itself, read the review of Battle Blade Starscream here.)

    The RotF redeco of the Fast Action Battler mold gives Starscream a darker, more movie-accurate appearance. His color, as opposed to being tan, is now appropriately gray as it should be, though perhaps just a SHADE too dark to be called "movie-accurate". Those sweet "tattoos" all over his body really make this toy stand out, though, as it does on pretty much every other version of RotF Starscream. Here they seem to be a bit more detailed, though, sometimes with little "Cyberglyphic" tattoos INSIDE the black tattoos! Pretty cool. In robot mode he gains even more paint apps with some nice silver tats on his arms and a silver-painted head with more black tats. Starscream's head already looked wicked, but not it looks REALLY evil-- in blatant comparison to his more kid-friendly FAB body, of course. The light red and purple bits, while rare, also go quite well with the gray.
    No mold changes have been made to Sword Slash Starscream.
    Sword Slash Starscream is a great repaint, with tons of paint apps all over and great "tattoo" paint apps to help cover up the rather dull gray that makes up most of his coloration. However, it's hard to ignore the fact that yes, it is the horrible FAB Starscream mold, no matter how awesomely you paint it. Save your money and get one of the larger RotF Starscream releases instead.
