He is by no means a whiny, coniving traitor. His intentions for becoming leader of th Decepticons has been to bring about what Megatron wanted before he finally became the tyrant he is now. Screamer is interested in bringing peace about and getting riding of the caste system.
If he were to be portrayed as he was in the G1 cartoon no one would take him seriously in game.
I want everyone vying to apply for him to know that G1 cartoon portrayal can't be used. Keep that in mind before you make your decision to play him.

But yes, the comics are the more evolved take on G1 Starscream. The comics have developed and matured him nicely, and he's been used in the game that way. But I see shades of all of it in his portrayal.

Not everyone. I, for one, hated G1 Screamer. I much prefer him as patriot.

I cannot echo Ember enough here, I could not stand the cartoon iteration of G1 Starscream, it's what put me off Seekers (well, him and there being a kajillion variations of them.)
Having said that, as the official reviewer of comics™ here I have had to pay a lot more attention to Screamer than I used to because of his involvement in the RID ongoing (and previous) and I hate to admit it but he is actually growing on me in his current form although Im pretty sure he'll turn traitor again soon.
Not enough for me to change my mind completely, but it shows promise.
I'm glad to see that you want a character like him to continue being played by a player, it frees the staff up and leader-characters controlled by players add an element of surprise to the game for everyone, it's a shame his last player couldn't keep it up.

I would bet money on it.
