(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 the original Movie Voyager Starscream toy. For a review on the mold itself, read the review of the original Movie Voyager Starscream toy here.)

    No longer just a Fast Action Battler, Movie Ramjet now gets a bonafide Voyager-class movie toy! Like the first Movie's FAB, his colors are a definite homage to the original G1 Ramjet, with white and black being the main colors, with some dull red wings. He's still a bit different from even the first Movie's FAB in terms of his color scheme, though as he doesn't have big Decepticon symbols on his wings and instead more G1-y stripes. I think it all goes together quite well, particularly in vehicle mode, with the red wings framing the white "core" of the plane quite well, and the black forming a nice secondary color as well. In robot mode, more of his brown parts become apparent, with red taking a back seat-- again, these brown parts go together fairly well against the surrounding colors, though I think not quite as well as the dull red wings did in vehicle mode. I also think a slightly darker shade of brown would've worked better, too, though that's a really niggling issue.
    No mold changes have been made to RotF Ramjet.
    RotF Ramjet is a pretty decent repaint of the Movie 1 Starscream mold, with nice balance of colors and a good G1 homage. Still, I think some other redecos of this mold, such as Thundercracker, are done better, and the inflated price makes him only recommended over the original release of this mold, even considering he comes with a rather nifty lenticular card.
