Wouldn't this just be based on opinion and thus can't actually be used to say one's better?
Your question seems rather pointless, the idea that any one thing is better then an other is an opinion based issue.

Let's see if we can get this topic back into civil waters and on to some sort of topic. Come on guys, I know you can do it! Reasoned discussions without personal snipes are possible!

You know, I never thought it out like that, it IS a pretty stupid question in that case...

The fact that you could differentiate Starscream from the other two proves my point a little bit already.
But seriously, Skywarp was seen teleporting around in some of the episodes and Thundercracker had his explodey something or other that I can't remember the exact specifications of, and although these don't exactly provide windows into their deepest thoughts and desires and souls per se, they do add to some level of singularity to them.
Skywarp and Thundercracker seemed to revel in Starscream's failure as well. I can remember some instances from the series (but can't find any examples on YouTube) where they would praise Megatron excessively in front of Starscream, or show resentment at the fact that they were "taking orders" from their palette swapped brother.
I mean... it's not like they were Reflector or anything.

althu their powers and color schemes may have seprated them,Starscream was the only one that got any personality,

Well, I can see where you're coming from definitely. Compared to Starscream however... that's a tough act for most to follow. Perhaps "distinctive" personalities might have been too strong a word. I still feel as though you can differentiate them though.
They usually seemed to be in disagreement or at least not aligned with Starscream's treasonous ways as opposed to just being lackeys or "yes-men" for him, which would have made them completely non-distinctive. Come to think of it... having all the seekers plan their own takeover of the Decepticons would have been interesting to see. Just look at what they did to Optimus Prime in that one episode whose name escapes me at the moment.

"Divide and Conquer," from Season 1 IIRC.

"A decepticon in King Arthur's court": The Depepticons and Autobots went back in time and space from 1980 to the middle ages where they need Merlins help to get back to 1980. They fight Dragons, wizards, get hit by life giving lighting.
"The girl who loved Powerglide.": Long before "Twilight" had real women date mythical creatures.
Transformers pioneered that sad trend with that episode with a young lady who I will now call "Bella Swan's Mom." fell in love with Powerglide. Megatron is incensed and kidnapped the young lady to get Powerglide's anger. Now that I type about it. I blame that episode for the Kiss players mess.
I cant remember this episode's name but I swore I could remember Seaspray the autobot's boat bot falling in love with a mermaid and became semi human in order to date her until the decepticons took out most of the autobots leaving Seaspray to abandon his love of a mermaid to be an autobot.
Ugh how do I write less long winded posts:(
