Ultimate DOTM ROTF Starscream
This is a robot mode only replica of Starscream's look in ROTF and DOTM.
I tried to replicate every single detail from the CGI model, which differs greatly from the actual figure. I added tons of parts on his chest, arms and legs, for that messy and sharpy Decepticon look.
I used parts from other transformers and from an actual F-22 Raptor model kit. Some decals were applied in the parts not covered by the tattoos.
All the wings from the toy were removed and replaced with the model kit wings, for a more streamlined and real look.
The original canopy section was removed, since it's not there in the movie version, leaving only the canopy itself (model kit part). The whole chest section was redone using mostly new parts to get the right look (much bulkier). The middle section was resculpted to be permanently open, with a few tiny mechanical parts and wires here and there. A few parts were added on his neck as well, which now sits at a higher position, giving Starscream a taller look.
I added several wires on his arms, instead of just paiting the sculpted ones, for a much more realistic look.
I also added articulated fingers, and a ball joint on his right hand. Each finger has a tiny spike added, just like the CGI model has.
I added the jet engines on his back, as well.
His lower legs were heavily modified, with tons of new parts added, to get that overlapping-transforming -panels look.
The paint job was done with several coats of different shades of gray and metallic enamels, for that not so shiny but still metallic look (like the actual F-22)
Starcream also comes with a removable circular saw blade and the barrel gun with "wings" added.
The final touch is on his head. I resculpted his eyes for a more accurate and meaner "look". Finally, each eye has its own LED now, and they're visible even in day light.
