How <em>boring</em>, Starscream! But the joints are nice and tight, the color scheme is okay, and I like the vehicle mode. . Well, I actually stumbled across a second FX by accident. What they <em>don't</em>tell you in the instructions is that when the right shoulder (arm with the blade) is rotated forward beyond 90-degrees, there is a metal-clashing sound! Now, this only works when the arm is twisting upwards, but <em>not downwards</em>. However, the lights do not turn on this time. . I think there's a third FX somewhere in him, but I haven't found it yet. . Oddly, <em>Autobot</em> Vector Prime [also from "<em>TF:Cybertron</em>"] also has a similar hidden FX trigger in the same area when his Planet Key is in place! Why don't they tell you? Are you just supposed to stumble across them by accident like I did??? For as big and solid as the US-release "TF:Cybertron" Starscream is, he only has, like, one sound FX! Hah!?
