Is anyone else disapointed in Starscream (Prime)?

Postby LordScourge » Sun Apr 29, 2012 5:25 am

I've been thinking he's a joke compared to his previous incarnations this version is very weak. I mean he really isn't cut out for being a second in command for Decepticons. I mean I can see him being redeemed and helping Optimus but that's about it. The really killed my hope for him was when he found those Protoforms. I mean it's probably how he gets to fly again but clones? Wouldn't it have been better to create his own decepticons rather than clone himself?

I'm the exact opposite, I love his Prime incarnation. He's a spineless, arrogant, power hungry, backstabbing, triple-crossing, narcissistic coward. Just as Primus intended and a perfect characterisation IMO.

I'm with Magnus on this one. I love him. Especially all of his dastardly animations and blum's voice acting. He's definitely one of the more... in depth characters.

I agree with the above. Starscream is one of the very best characters on this show. He enhances every scene he is in and Steve Blums voice acting is excellent

Prime Starscream is exactly who I wanted him to be and more. He's taken over Armada as my favorite Starscream of all time.

:shock: WOAH calm down there! lol, but seriously. He hasn't really done anything to make me really love him, but he's in the right direction. I suspect at some point he'll have some great betrayal of some sorts.

I think he's the most devious, traitorous, back-stabbing Starscream ever...and to be fair, his Stint as Decepticon leader lasted longer than any other Starscream's.

Going to echo everyone's sentiments, it's my favorite incarnation of Screamer too. I think it's because we've actually seen some of his journey to become a backstabbing third party character. After all, he started out generally loyal to the Decepticon cause.

Oh, and Steve Blum does an awsome job as him. Since Hasbro owns the license for both Marvel and Transformers, maybe a Green Goblin inspired repaint? For those who don't know, Steve Blum's performance as Starscream is similar to the one he gave the Green Goblin during "The Spectacular Spider-Man" animated series.

I think that's what makes him most interesting to me. We get to see his journey from Air Commander to a lone warrior just struggling to survive.

That would be...spectacular. 8)

I'm surprised no one's brought up how he's also the most sympathetic and relatable Starscream ever as well.
If you've read Exodus, wanna read the War For Cybertron comic? PM me.
