In most continuities, Starscream is a backstabbing conniving and manipulative bot who's mainly in it for himself. This continuity asks what happens if that sort of treatment is inflicted onto Screamer before he became just that. The answer is that Starscream becomes more like Dinobot. A bot who lives a warrior, but dies a hero. May his Spark join the Matrix. The greatest of Cybertron… Or it _would_ have if Unicron wasn't Unicron and corrupted him into the evil and conniving backstabber he ended up being.
After watching gen 1, the editing and voice acting for THIS show just hits so weirdly. Starscream sounds great, but something tells me this series was NOT originally American. Looks like an anime
They really left Starscream to die so they could get the Requiem Blaster and thought he wouldn’t do anything about it. This defection was long overdue.
I like that scene that shows how Starscream's wing slides down and the hilt extends. Not how the toy worked but it was really cool that they thought to do something like that, Starscream's way of warning he will draw against you. And of all the Transformers who used the Star Saber he was the only one you ever saw treat the Minicons like little buddies. Both Hotshot and Megatron only had it in its sword configuration. Watching this series I made Skywarp my self insert character since he had all the cool stuff Starscream did. He was just a Decepticon who chose to work with the Autobots because he wanted to protect the Minicons. I even imagined him getting the Dark Saber when they fought Nemesis Prime. Taking the fake sword Sideways made and throwing it into the healing energy the Minicons produced that pallet swapped everyone. That stabilized it into a real trio of Minicons, Sonar, Launchpad, and Skyfire. I also like to imagine that when Starscream and Skywarp fought it looked something like this. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WTNck5FTzSM.htmlsi=U2yIrhRgKnZnULNA
I have mixed feelings about Armada's Starscream tbh. Cause of the TF Armada ps2 game, I didn't like facing him tbh, always gave the controller to my dad so he could beat him. But of all the shorts/vids I see occasionally of Armada, it's like wtf? This ain't the Starscream I know So.....idfk anymore
Thrust deserved it! I don't blame Starscream for being mad. P.S. I had a crush on Armada Starscream since I saw this series in High school 2016. (He's handsome, brave and has a sense of honor. He is H-O-T!)
And then when Starscream took Demolisher up on his suggestion, the seeds of doubt that the Autobots had just got done planting were already in full bloom when he heard that Megatron had intended for Starscream to be terminated from the beginning.
Episode 20 "Reinforcement" 11:41, 11:57 The Autobots manage to grab Swindle in his alt mode(and I assume gets scared/doesn't want to go because he beeps a lot and Red alert says "What's going on? What's he saying?") and Starscream panics, shouting out Swindle's name. Swindle drives out of Red Alert's hands and lands on top of Starscream in his alt mode
G1 is classic, Animated has the greatest antics, TFP is the best performance, RID 2015 has the greatest design, Earthspark has great development; But the greatest of them all is Armada Starscream.
