TRANSFORMERS: THE BASICS on SLIPSTREAM 

I theorize that Slipstream was Starscream's self-loathing. That's why she's always so defiant towards him and she refuses to use his form. She the part of him that realizes that for all his schemes, he still screws up so much.

Giving Starscream his own Starscream was an awesome idea and Slipstream should be in more things.

I like to think that Animated Slipstream represented Starscreams intelligence and leadership skills, like if Starscream was an actually competent leader

This video just *slipped* into my *stream*

Personally I think animated Slipstream is all his repressed parts... including, but not limited to, his self-loathing (turned creator-hate) and his femininity.

She deserves better, we need more female decepticons! Especially seekers, she's so unique in that way. Great vid btw.

According to the TF wiki, Slipstream was meant to represent Starscream’s femininity, but because Animated was a kid’s show, they didn’t outright state it. However, the joke went over a lot of adult fans’ heads and we’ve been pondering the “mystery” of what part of Starscream she represents ever since

Is she where Prime Starscream got his heels from?

I think animated slipstream represents either: Starscream’s bitchy side His intelligence maybe His leadership skills if he was a competent leader His feminine side he’s trying to hide, “don’t ask” Or maybe his self-loath, since she always tells him megatron’s better

Hi folks, had to reupload this one due to a copyright claim from our friendly overlords at Hasbro. I can't be sure as to what it was that they took issue with (this wasn't The Algorithm - it was manually detected by an actual person but no timestamp was given), but conversation with other TF RU-vidrs strongly suggests its Cyberverse - they seems to be very protective of it, probably because they're uploading it to their own RU-vid. So, this version has no Cyberverse footage and a link to where you can watch the episodes officially, and hopefully that'll appease them.

Tbh I feel like she embodies Starscream's leadership skills and intelligence

I think of Animated Slipstream as an incarnation of Starscream's self-loathing. He might be a narcissist, but deep down he probably realizes he doesn't command the respect that Megatron does, and he knows that his other traits of being a lying, cowardly, narcissistic suck up do not earn him any street cred in the Decepticon army.

I'd like to imagine, as a clone, she's Starscream's feminine side. I mean, come on, why else would she reply with "Don't ask"? ☺

I'd love to see my girl Slipstream get into Travis Knight's Transformers movies.

"Lets see what Cyberverse got in store for her next" Bludgeon: D e a t h

Chris literally wrote an entire book about the IDW comics and Hasbro copyright strikes him? Lame!

Oh Hasbro. Copystriking a fellow worker? We've peaked human evolution everyone!

I wonder had there been a 4th season of Transformers animated I wonder if the Starscream clones end up developing more of their own identities beyond being embodied aspects of Starscream's personality

Conclusion: Animated Slipstream's cloned personality trait is either Starscream's Fashion Sense or his gay side.

Let's hope this is the first and only copyright issue you'll have to deal with

A character so nice, you had to upload twice.

I think the slipstream (starscream clone) represents he’s desire of manipulation over other bots

Well after what happens in Cyberverse, alas poor Slipstream. She got to be a unique character that I hope can carry on in future series.

Really Hasbro, forcing a "The Basics" episode to be reuploaded. THIS IS THE BEST TRANSFORMERS VIDEO SERIES EVER MADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lots of good ideas for what part of Starscream the clone version of Slipstream represents, but I believe that she is supposed to represent his traitorous side. Without cowardice, self-importance or lying, she was able to take over as Decepticon air commander, something Starscream could never do.

I believe that, due to her being more cruel and evil than her “creator”, Slipstream represents his sadism.

My theory is that animated Slipstream represents either Starscreams intellegence, effeminate nature, or both

2:54 Slipstream wore it best.

The thing is in the Japanese dub had Slipstream refer to the other clones as the names they would be officially given

I wonder if there's any information about Glyph, the female bumblebee

Damn she's hot... Don't tell her...

I feel like Hasbro was acknowledging Prime Starscream looking like a female when they made that Slipstream recolor.

Nobody: Fan Theories: “Starscream was bisexual and slipstream was all his gayness”

Hasbro was slow to capitalise on this character's fame. Shock. I'm shocked.

I have the japanese comics, lol my friend translated me all. Legend comics are funny.

From thicc female seeker to tiny samurai minicon

F to pay respects for Cyberverse Slipstream, who died trying to warn the Autobots and Decepticons of Starscream's threat.

i know what she represents, starscreams feminine side

Slipstream is really cool.

We need a Seekers playlist.

Slipstream's colors weren't based on Overlord. They were taken straight from Ramjet's G2 toy.

Hmm, I always considered Slipstream to be based upon the colours of G2 Ramjet. You've got the purple, teal and black. The only addition is grey.

I would say that Slipstream actually represents Starscream’s treachery. My main reasoning is that she betrayed Starscream lol.

"And what Cyberverse has in store for her next." Yeah...about that...Blugeon kills her, thinking she was traitor to the Decepticons, like the rest of the Seekers were.

4:20 damn, he must be a stern master alright

This kinda shows what I love about Transformers to this day, how awesome and/or interesting characters like her are fully utilized in new canon in some way or another eventually after being introduced rather than just leaving characters like her in the dust.

I want a Masterpiece Slipstream using the original version of the MP Starscream mold.

I love Slipstream’s awesome personality and her Purple-Teal color scheme.

Reuploaded due to copyright reasons...

One additional note. Slipstream is also the name of a GI Joe pilot who flew the Conquest X30.

I still think my favourite theory is slipstream represents Starscream's trait to be a raging bitch (Which honestly just made me laugh)

6:21 spoiler Sad that ciberverse choose kill her. Al least that she have some relevance , being the only seeker don't choose obey starscream and reamin loyal the Megatron, but being killed for a misunderstanding of her actions, impending the alliance between Autobot and Decepticons Pd: but Hasbro can play the revival and rebuild card to return her to the history and sell another toy of her.

I wonder if they'll put her in one of the new live action movies. Because if so that would be awesome. But I don't think we're that lucky.

Slipstream, from big purple female decepticon jet to small male red autobot disc, what a world we live in

You have all these different incarnations that follow a similar design, then RID comes along 🤣

I fucking love this thumbnail, it’s like aligned slipstream is the adopted preppy kid in the family of edgy goths.

That image on 0.20. Must she look so Hot?

I actually think she is starscreams sassy, power hungry, leadership self honestly since she did try to take over as leader of the seekers and animated and seem like she was power hungry not to metion sassy i mean the "don't ask" made me thought she was totally the sassy starscream as he is sassy

Noone: Absolutely noone: Rule 34: Th entire autobot team will now SLIP INTO HER STREAMS

Hasbro: Seriously for the footage from Cyberverse, I’m gonna copystrike this guy just for that footage. RU-vid, cAn We CoPyStRiKe ChRis!!!!! Stupid copyright claims. Love your content though.

Slipstream is definitely be starscreams self loathing, because all of his plans always going to blow up in his face and sometimes beaten by auto bots, Megatron, a few humans like miko from prime, or a combination of all 3

I like how coherent and orderly these videos are. On other channels, the videos are mindlessly long and have poor threads in between topics leaving the video lost and aimlwss And Slipstream really is one of the coolest villains. The color scheme of purple and teal is so 90’s

Looking at her personality and behavior, I always believe her personality from Starscream was "defiant, treacherous". She was quick to betray Starscream once he's down, and in other episode wanted to kill Starscream, just like Starscream's treachery against Megatron.

So in the manga comic, she traveled from Cartoon Network to G1? Crazy

i love how all the decepticons are their then RID2015 Slipstream is like “hi how are ya.”

the first time (i think) i saw slipstream was in war for cybertron, and honestly i was kinda disappointed you couldnt play as her and use her separate parts in fall of cybertron multiplayer, same with arcee, cause their models and vehicle modes were pretty damn good

3:24 and that expression on the mini-figure just screams, "Is this really the only thing I get"?

I liked Slipstream’s character in the Cybervers show. I just wish she and the other Seekers hadn’t been killed off in the second season.

I don't suppose they could have been upset about the line at 3:12 about how slow they were to take advantage of her.

Sooo Animated Slipstream is part of Starscream’s personality. And she’s female... Does that mean Starsceam is a TRANS-former?

I hope she gets more representation. But my fave femme deception villian has to be NightBird.

Young me should’ve never found slipstream hot- Older current me shouldn’t still find her hot-

It was Activision that caused the re upload wasn’t it?

Starscream has fallen! I, Slipstream, now lead the Seekers!

How about a Basics on Blaster? It's odd that with Soundwave making a comeback, Blaster isn't doing the same.

I kinda like the idea that Slipstream is just a competent female Starscream.

In retrospect that's the mother of all coincidences, going from Slipstream to Bludgeon.

Thicc starscream

How does Overlord come into it?! Slipstream's colours look more like G2 Ramjet to me...

Slipstream represents the sorrow Starscream feels when reflecting on the plight of the Native Americans as both their land and buffalo were violently taken from them during westward expansion

Clearly, she was Starscream's Girlboss side

That Armada game Slipstream looks like a fusion of Sparkplug and Swindle to me, with the more stylized head and the similar transformation scheme being similar to Swindle without the G1 Jazz toy-accurate shoulder-wheels...

I think animated slipstream represents starscreams sarcastic side.

1:41 and the g2 seeker in the g2 intro If my name is not prince then I am a bot

3:17 and to this day, she's not been seen since bludgeon took her CV counterpart offline. Though Rodimus Primal's daughter seems to have taken a liking to her.

I really REALLY liked her in Cyberverse.

Slipstrem female decepticon with "Transformers Animated" Slipstream autobot mini-con with "Transformers robots in disguise" nice amazing

her colours are G2 Ramjets. I know this video is old as hell but we've had a purple and teal seeker before.

Me: Sees this thumbnail. Also me: Sees the Robots in Disguise Slipstream along with the big pink bots. Me Immediately after: Thinks of Smol Dawn from Pokémon BDSP. XD

I'd say Slipstream is Starscream's sassy if not sly side of Starscream heck maybe he even has a femme side that he didn't know of so that's why she said "Don't ask"

0:50 isn't it obvious it's his fembot side

I am a huge transformers fan myself keep this series growing

When he said that toy was a recolor of Prime Scream, i laughed. I laughed so hard. Prime screamy always looked a little feminine with those,... magnificent heels. kkkkkkkkkkk

At least it wasn't worse. I have a suggestion can you make one of these on Ratchet? Or have you already made one?

I will not lie, i thought Slipstream was meant to be Starscream being a Drama Queen...

Read description

The video got a clone

Hopefully the Hasbro Overlords (Multiple versions of the character that represent their legal team) are happy with the re upload

I wouldn't mind seeing a video going over the Allspark Almanac 1, 2 and 3 (I think there was a third installment of it)

"We can only wait to see what cyberverse has in store for her next" People who've seen the show "Uuuuuuhh"
