TFC GI JOE Starscream

[unluckiness]

Looks like these guys are back from the dead and picking up where they left off. After the Rolling Thunder Optimus and the Dominator Megatron, they released photos of this Starscream that continues the first two toys' emphasis on modularity, DIaclone compatibility and armor-up super modes. Don't suppose the Joe fans out there can tell me what plane this is based on? My surface-level knowledge tells me it's a modified Rattler, which makes sense with how the other two toys were also modified from the base vehicles, but there might be some Cobra plane out there that fits.

Anyway, don't have my Optimus and Megs anymore but this still has my interest. Hell, if they reissue those two, I might just bite.

It also comes with a throne that doubles as a flight stand

This is based off the Cobra Rattler, which is based on an US Army A-10 Warthog.

Yeah, watchded some GI JOE as a kid but never really got into it. I've since dropped this scale, but I could be persuaded to buy back in if they reissue the military green Rolling Thunder Optimus and release a Dominator colors Megatron, then release this in Cobra colors. If they just do G1 colors, I'd probably pass because I'm honestly tired of these three and Bumblebee at this point. If they release this in Rattler colors with alternate head options like they did with Prime and Megatron, I may go for it as a standalone

The Rattler is kind of the iconic Cobra Jet, but I kind of prefer Starscream as the Night Raven:
