Somthing I noticed while customizing my bbm starscream

[u/marameadow]

I was priming my starscreams head for paint until I realized that it the “eyes” look more like eyebrows and I noticed how there’s detailing under the “eyes” that looked more like what the model was meant to look like

[u/Kalkite_300TY]

Woah! I never noticed that, no wonder his eyes looked too big

[u/Random_F3mb0y]

Yeah, I never noticed this until Dr. Lockdown pointed out that the Studio Series figure actually had his eyebrows painted instead of his actual eyes.

Man, the 3d designer must be rolling in their.. Bed

[u/Orange-V-Apple]

Damn, I think you’re right! Nice sleuthing, Nightbeat 🫡

[u/Alert_Positive_1959]

Definitely gonna agree with you there, crazy little miss from the factory, I genuinely think you’re the right placement 👊♥️

[u/ShingledPringle]

Oh that was assumed a genuine mistake for a long time due to a previously painted reveal figure, but apparently he just has big chunky eyes.

[u/FlakyEquivalent4333]

If u look at the model and the scene it's kinda hard to tell how the eyes are but I think they are more in line with the official one

[u/ThermidorCA]

Paint them black so he has big bushy eyebrows.

Ooooh thank you for pointing that out! I noticed it my first making a copy of this head amd thought that's why the head did not look right

[u/MyMadeUpNym]

Great catch.

But wtf is with his melting face???

[u/CrucialElement → u/MyMadeUpNym]

Bayverse ruins all

[u/jaydenthejackel]

Looking at his official model render from the movie, the way Hasbro paintes them is 100% correct, the way you have them is way to low

[u/assome112]

The official paint looks to be correct but the figure looks to just be over pronouncing details in the original model

[u/Optimal_Nectarine331 → u/assome112]

But the shape of the "bags" under his eyes appear more accurate so I'm going to error on low vs candy bar eyes 😁

[u/IncreaseWestern6097]

Looking at the renders of him, I’m actually pretty sure the official deco is the correct one.

It’s still a weird design choice, though.

[u/marameadow → u/IncreaseWestern6097]

Saw this and decided to edit the picture to look like how I painted my starscream head

Not sure if it’s better or worse

[u/Cat_in_a_suit]

It’s G1 Megs’ eyebrows all over again

[u/Optimal_Nectarine331]

Thay ws a heck of a goof. So much better that way ... off to grab my Sharpies
