Just a quick introduction, Starscream is a fictional character in the Transformers franchise. He is a member of the evil Decepticon. One thing to describe Starscream is that he is very treacherous, to the extent of challenging the Decepticon leader Megatron for power and leadership. You can bet that if even a small opportunity to grab power is available, Starscream is there to take his chance and hopefully capitalize on it. On to the figure.
The first thing that i noticed on the box are the Kreons, they are Kre-O's equivalent for Lego's mini figs. Secondly is the gold hologram above the Kreons. In the hologram it says "works with leading brands". Meaning you can mix and match them with Lego!
When you open the package, you get several bags of blocks, individually packed Kreons and an instruction book. The photo above is an example of the diagram in the book.
One thing about the Kreons is that they got more articulation than the Lego mini figs.
Their arms can move outwards to some extent same as the legs.
Here is Starscream as a Kreon.
While the Starscream Kreon was nicely done. This pilot has a little problem.
As you can see the helmet hole is a bit small covering the lower part of the eye.
Other than that it is a cool figure.
Pilot without the helmet.
A sticker sheet is also provided for added detail.
In this review I build the robot without using the stickers. I'll add them in the future i guess.
Kre-O Starscream is huge. He stands at around 12 inch.
Even if the figure is a bit big he has good balance and can stand on his own, which is nice.
Back view of Starscream.
The head pretty much capture's the G1 Starscream.
It is made of soft plastic or rubber.

Several ball joint gives the figure some articulation.

Clever idea indeed.
A look at the classic or G1 Starscream.
I think that Hasbro's Kre-O line is amazing. You get to build your favorite transformers character with the addition of that character in its Kreon form. The instruction manual was fairly easy to follow making the building process a pleasant one. Transformers fan would have preferred it if the figure could transform unfortunately it can't. On the good side you get to have a detailed and nice representation of the robot mode and or the vehicle mode.
Kre-O Starscream robot mode took me around 45 minutes to an hour to build, and now i need to take it apart in order to build the Jet mode. See you on the second part of the review,
