The only complaint I have about a MW Starscream is Overlord is already a big black jet.

At the time, he was the biggest Transformer to be released in the UK. Bigger than Metroplex.

I still have my original, box, and all the parts. He's discoloured a little bit from light exposure, but he still displays great.
