2001 E-Hobby: Black and Ghost Starscream

The return of Transformers into the popular mainstream, thanks to series like Beast Wars and the Robots in Disguise toy line, meant that the original moulds from Generation One were finding their way back to the shelves, first in Japan. Starscream would be one of these re-released figures, appearing at this time in two different variants: one coloured black and the other transparent. Both were available only through the online store E-Hobby.

Black Starscream features the character in a primarily ash-black colour with his wings, tail fins, and nose cone in a silvery graphite grey. His robot torso and stripes were painted in gold and his canopy moulded in a clear, transparent plastic. It is still unclear as to the purpose behind his coloration. One theory is that it represents a "dead" character, though it is a mystery why a dead character would need an alt mode. Another theory involves the Black Robot Masters Starscream, in which his colour is born from an energy source called "Solitarium."

Ghost Starscream is made from a transparent blue plastic with a clear amber coloured cockpit canopy. The die-cast parts are a metallic pinkish-red, while his face and head are black. Ghost Starscream's missiles and weaponry retain their pristine, G1 length and design, as Japanese toy standards are not as stringent as those found in North America.
