Maybe I'm just a pleb with no standards, but I think I'm okay with this guy, and that's due in part to already owning the original mold in the form of Universe Ramjet.

I wouldn’t expect it to surpass the original 1 for 1, rather it does something the original didn’t and looks better than the T30 to me, just 3/4 of the way there rather than being a home run. It’s definitely not all it could’ve been but it gives me a bigger and fully articulated Armada Starscream. They weren’t complex on the T30 and it’s surprising to not see them on the Legacy version. I would’ve rather seen the small Star Saber omitted and seen simple retractable landing gear integrated instead. Now we have one that’s bigger than the T30 but surprisingly doesn’t carry all of its strengths. We got that in the T30 line but it was a figure smaller than I preferred. While the gimmicks were neat, I always wanted to see a fully articulated figure of Armada Starscream. I have the original and have always liked the character design.

It’s clear it was never meant to do that.

To me, expecting this Legacy Armada Starscream to surpass the original 2002 figure in all areas is just a setup for disappointment(especially if you’re content with the original).
