We're back with another new Transformers toy gallery! Presented here for your viewing pleasure is a look at the upcoming Generations Armada Starscream, a part of the Generations 2014 Deluxe assortment.

Armada Starscream is, as the name implies, a very nicely crafted homage to the original Transformers Armada Starscream, who was a breakout character with great development in the Transformers Armada series. This version of Armada Starscream is a deluxe, rather than the "Max-Con" Voyager sized original. While he's considerably smaller, Generations Armada Starscream is very well realized - he has excellent poseability that let him strike all manner of awesome poses with his twin swords. Like Transformers Armada Starscream, he also has flip-up missile launchers, they are slightly differently designed on this outing but the end effect is the same - extra shoulder mounted firepower!

I know some people comment on how the swords are now stored in the wings, rather than the wings detaching to make up the swords. In a nice design touch, the wings are ball-jointed, so they can be folded down out of the way when the swords are removed, or popped off altogether if that is your desire.

All in all, Armada Starscream is a great toy and an excellent tribute to the ten year old Unicron trilogy. As a central character in Transformers Armada, it is great that he gets recognition in the 30th anniversary branded Generations series, and it's excellent that the toy is such a perfect update of the original character. He's well worth picking up once he hits stores in the US shortly. Check out the gallery below to decide where he belongs on your want list:
