I do.  Less so now that I'm working more.

These are my current published works

The Hero Revision Project Volume One
https://www.createspace.com/5293750

The Hero Revision Project Volume Two
https://www.createspace.com/5544842

Two more volumes planned, but I'm working on other projects at the moment...and my day job.  I expect the next volume to be released by the end of the year.

(kat's husband and resident Transformer expert reporting)

I'm afraid eBay is your best bet.  It's where I got mine and the only place you'll likely find one these days outside of local ads. 

Moreover, you may or may not be aware, but Starscream is one of the worst Transformers as far as his detachable pieces are concerned.  You basically take him apart for the majority of his transformation and reassemble him after the modifications to his fuselage have been made.  Because of this, most of his listings will be incomplete.  It probably took me 5+ separate auctions before I acquired all the pieces (wings, landing gear, missile launchers) necessary to assemble a near complete Starscream.  And that doesn't even include the stickers, which will likely need to be reproductions of the originals.  So if you can find a 100% complete one at a price you're comfortable with, you'll probably want to go with that.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I did find one seller that's always treated me well and does have a couple of listings for Starscream in complete and piecemeal form.  I will PM you the link to his store, but it goes by the name of Wheeljackslab.

from left to right beginning at the top.
-G1-TwinTwist as you have noted.
-incomplete Transformers Universe Vector Prime (a repaint of Cybertron Vector Prime)
-incomplete Transformers Animated Shockwave (the one that came as a Target Exclusive two-pack with Sunstorm).
-Very incomplete Beast Wars Optimus Primal in bat form. (aka Bat Primal)  This mold was used to make very true-to-the-original fakes so that is also a possibility.

Also you ask if they have value.  I would not think so.  Only Twintwist is vintage and he and Topspin are two of the most common vintage transformers that there are while the others are incomplete.  I suggest checking ebay to see what your options are as far as restoration and resale if that's what you're planning

I can provide prices for most/all of those transformers listed, but the method I use (averaging prices of items sold on ebay and other sites) is something that you can do on your own, if you would rather be certain of the numbers provided.

Razorclaw (the lion) - Seems people expect to get about $30 for him, but I don't see anything with bids, even the auctions with notably lower prices or that include other figures along with him.  Should be considered low demand, even if the price is valid.

Prowl (police car) - Fairly common, but he is a first year release.  Loose, without accessories and in good condition (which yours appears to be) expect $30-50, possibly more.

Windcharger (red car) - $10-15 with a little wiggle room on either side depending on condition.  An extremely common first year "mini car."

Freeway (blue car) - a cheap late release Transformer with a simple transformation gimick common to all Throttlebots.  I saw him priced as low as $4 and as high as $20, but expect a low price to prevail.  This line is not generally sought after.

Scamper (black car) - kind of cool for the fact that he is a tiny little guy included with Metroplex, the giant transformer that becomes a city and mobile command center.  As yours appears to have his guns/arms, I'd expect about $20 more or less (found him priced as high as $40).  His price drops dramatically without these accessories.

Groove (motorcycle) - a combiner limb belonging to the Defensor.  Without weapons, no more than $10.

All of these prices should be considered a rough estimate.  I am an enthusiast, not an expert.  Hope this helps.

I would estimate $30+ for Jetfire intact but without accessories.  I recommend checking ebay to see the full range of prices.

The rubbery ones are known as decoys and came packaged with many standard G1 figures (for target practice, et cetera).  The cat/panther one is Ravage and the purple one on the far right (next to red) is Devastator.  The other purple one appears to be Mirage and the red one looks like Optimus Prime.  Jetfire is in unusually good shape from what I can see.  Are both arms and legs attached?

Used to collect the old MOTU stuff and I'll even pick up the odd piece here and there (mostly to rebuild my childhood collection) but I no longer actively display or seek out anything.

If I had to guess, I would call it Son Wukong, the monkey king of much east Asian lore, most notably A Journey West.  The skulls, however, are unlike anything I have found him to be wearing in any depictions I have managed to uncover.  It may be that he has been demonized in this case, as often happens with these figures.  I would suggest checking through a list of Hindu deities and searching these names on google image search.

They've covered most of mine by now, what with the robot and various were-beasts, but we're still lacking something with multiple appendages - a spider!  I'd love to see that.  And now that they've released the Siren (mermaid) CAM pack, I'd like to see more done with the lower torso add-on.  Nagas, Centaurs, Fauns, et cetera.  Unlikely, I know, but I can dream.

Back to Skyrim since the DLC.  Currently spoiling my adopted kids...a good assassin can afford to.
