TF2 Writer Roberto Orci Wants Your Favourite Starscream Quotes!

"Megatron, is that you?"

"OW! My foot!!!"

Badges?

Badges?!

WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' BADGES!!

And of course, we need a 'I am the true leader of the Deceptions!' line, just for good measure.

"COWARDS, stand and fight!"

"Pathetic Fools!"

"Shake things up a bit!"



More to come...

My personal favorite: "Do I have a second on that?" before nearly everybody went "Aye!"

To tell you the truth, though: It's not about what Starscream says, but what he does. He OWNED in the movie despite how unattractive he looks. My hope is that he continues to OWN in the sequal.

Besides, the "best quote award" belongs to Bonecrusher's "In That Case, I Say It Is Survival Of The Fittest."

"OW my foot!" is of course, a classic, and any of the phrases from his many mottos would work :]

"I'm stupid! I'm stupid!"

lol! Good 'ol Starscream.

'PATHETIC FOOLS!!! THERES NO ESCAPE!!!'
and
'Oh How it pains me to do this'

Starscream rules

I'm sure all the best ones from the animated movie have all been done, so here's some from the series:

In SOS Dinobots, after some laser blasts from Ironhide miss him by miles: "You're too slow, rusty-pants!"

A great exchange from Heavy Metal War - Megatron: "Soon, Scrapper’s invention will give me the power to defeat the Autobots once and for all!” To which Starscream replies, “Forgive me, but I believe your boast sounds vaguely familiar.”

He's at it again in Autobot Spike - Megatron: “Interesting! Perhaps I can turn the situation to my advantage, and use this Autobot Spike to destroy the other Autobots... What supreme irony! Turning their friend into their foe!” To which Starscream replies, “You’ve made such boasts before, Megatron!”

In Prime Problem, Starscream memorably calls the Autobot leader "Floptimus Prime!" In The Insecticon Syndrome, he then calls Bombshell a "Rust-encrusted cockroach!"

And finally, in The Golden Lagoon - Megatron: "Show no mercy!" Starscream: "Do we ever?"

This is the challenge: G1 Starscream's "best" lines were goofy, at his "dumbest", or just plain silliest.

The other lines play off of Megatron, which while fitting, don't mesh with what I want from TF2. I mean, context is what a lot of these lines need to work. And not just that, but I DON'T want to see Megatron in TF2. It's still too early to bring him back, I think.

It's hard to find the perfect "Starscream" line for the new Starscream.

I am your new leader!

I fell defending my leader Galvatron against the most powerful enemy of all, the giant Transformer Unicron.

I'm surprised no one's said this one yet.

"I will rule the universe, even if I am the only one left in the universe."
"Time makes all things possible. I can wait."

Megatron: DECEPTICONS!
Starscream: Let me guess, WE RETREAT!
(Megatron flies off without a second thought)

liked that so much I got a shirt printed that says
"The best laid plans of mice and Megatron" (a quote from myself)followed by the con logo and "Let me guess, WE RETREAT!"

That's Effing AWESOME! Can you post a pic of it? I want one!

Not gonna help them drag those lines through the muck.

I think you are onto something here. Starscream did seem to be at his best playing off of Megatron. I half expect an Allspark changed Megatron named Galvatron to make the appearance for Starscream to play off of.

Does anyone else remember this: "I am the new leader of the Decepticons"? He's said it many times in various phrasings. How appropriate it would be for the Movie sequel since Megatron took a dirt nap.

I always liked:

Starscream: "It was Astrotrain and Blitzwing! They tricked me!!!"
Megatron: "Starscream, you're either a liar or an idiot."
Starscream: "I'm an idiot! I'm an idiot!"

Also:

Starscream: "It looks like some kind of... rust!"
Megatron: "Impossible! We are rust-proof!"
Starscream: "Perhaps you're made of shoddy materials, Megatron!"
Megatron: "That's ABSURD!"

However, I'd prefer Movie Starscream continue to be a serious villain like he is in IDW's series and TF:Animated, than have him be comic relief like in G1.

Edit: Good ones for the movie might be:

"Conquest is made of the ashes of one's enemies."

"I have a code of conduct — victory at all costs!"

"Power leads to victory and power is what I shall obtain."

"Power is its own justification."

"I will rule the universe, even if I am the only one left in the universe."

"Time makes all things possible. I can wait."

Megatron: [charging into battle] "SHOW NO MERCY!"
Starscream: [sarcastically] "Did we ever?"

I don't remember anything in particular, but as I recall, some of Starscream's conversations with Doctor Archeville were quite strong.

These guys need to learn how to write their own scripts.

Just give the Decepticons some actual scenes with dialogue in the next movie, rather than have everyone else talk about how evil they are without letting us find out for ourselves through their characters.

My quotes are
Megatron is that you ?
My time will come

Megatron "Shockwave is the perfect soldier. Humble and obedient."

Starscream "Shockwave has much to be humble about."

How are we forgetting...

"Wanna Bet?"
--Starcream, in response to Megatron's pleading,"I...Still...Function."

Pretty much anything he said in the original animated movie. My favourite would have to be "I, Starscream, am your new leader!". "Pathetic fools!" is also quite good, but I don't think he said that in the movie.

Which is what I DON'T want to happen. I want Megatron/Galvatron to be a big "third film" thing. Bringing him back so soon cheapens death itself.

My favorite: "Decepticons, feast your eyes on your new leader."

Megatron: "Did you lie to me, or are you stupid?!?"
Starscream: "I'm stupid!! I'm STUPIIID!!!"

"Pathetic Fools there's no escape!"

You're right. There is an adorable part in the episode where Starscream almost blows up the Earth with Dr. Arkeville's Exponential Generator. Starscream goes into a giggle fit and tells Arkeville that he should be honored, as he's going to be the last surviving member of his species. I don't have the exact quote. Does someone with the time want to fill it in?

Recently in Devastation #6:

Megs asks Starscream about his loyalties while fighting the Reapers.

'Screams reply: "I serve the Decepticon cause."

ponycorn wrote:My favorite: "Decepticons, feast your eyes on your new leader."

It seems like a good line considering he is returning to cybertron to gather an army. It might even be his opening line.

"Pathetic fools, there is NO escape!" this line has to be in there, movie starscream could make it more dynamic though

Wasssss Onccce Aaaaa Maaaaaaaan!

Just kidding.

I always liked his "What does Michael Bay care if my lines are correct? It's not like anything else about me aside from my name is the same" line myself.

Here are some of my favorites

(from the movie game)

"Ah...how i love a smoking ruin...especially one i created!"

(from movie)

"I live to serve you lord Megatron!"(i thought it was kinda cool...)

(movie ending credits)

"I'll be back!"

i love these

"You may have the pleasure of melting down these Autobots"

and

"I'm just saying goodbye" continues to take pot shots at Autobots.

"Time makes all things possible. I can wait."

That one might actually work in TF2, at least the first half, since Megatron has now fallen, and Starscream's opportunity has finally arrived.

Also,

"My fellow Decepticons, as your new leader, I..."

"Who disrupts my coronation?!"

My favorite,

"Who disrupts my corination?!?"

"It's ours now, this whole cringing planet." *

* I need to pull out my War Within TPB and get the exact quote on that. He says it while taunting Grimlock. It would be very cool to read again in another continuity.

Also from War Within...

Shockwave: Where is Megatron?
Starscream: Dead. A tragic accident. I'm calling the shots now, Shockwave.

Could very well be chopped up and used again in Movie-Verse. I don't think that's the only time Starscream has referred to himself as "calling the shots" either. Can anyone else note another time?

" How do you feel, Mighty Megatron?!" *kicks Megatron*

"Fellow decepticons, Megatron has fallen. I'm your new leader, follow me!"

"Pathetic fools!"

"(speaking to the autobots) If you get any closer your friend is doomed! (speaking in lower voice to his prisoner) And even if they don't you're doomed, he he he!" <- Not sure if the speech is 100% like this, but this was the idea, although I don't recall on which episode it was... but I think it's from season 1.

Speaking to Dr.Archvile at his secret lab entrance when he says "Open Sesame", Starscream says something like "How original... (throws the rock door away) This is how I do it and if you try something I'll do you the same" <- Again not very sure about the speech...

What was that thing he said to Shockwave?
I remember it was the coolest line ever.
it was like
"I only serve Megatron"
And Starscream's like "Then you can DIE with Megatron"

Also "You haven't seen hostile yet!!!" is pretty cool.

are there any cool Armada Screamer quotes?

"Thanks for the ride, Prime. Too bad you couldn't go the rest of the way."

"As Megatron has, how shall we say, departed, I NOMINATE MYSELF AS THE NEW LEADER!"

We all seem to forget his very first quote which pretty much told us everything about his character.

"We would've won years ago had I been calling the shots!"

This would be nearly perfect, just replace "years" with "eons" or something similar.

I would agree.
Screamers quote from the War Within preview was very memorable.
I also agree with Tyrenol on the point that I does not matter what we think his best quotes are,
He just needs to own as he always has.
Also I think Robert is just using us as a resource for Screamer quotes to put in the movie.
Robert, if you ever see this post, please remember that I as a Starscream fan that we dont want to hear things that the king of 15s
Has already said before, we just want him to unpredictable and over-the-top as always.

"Megatron, Megatron" as he grovels on his knees after shooting him in the back.

ugh, why does my mind have to go blank now!?!

my fav from beast wars is:

"surrender? it seems too convieniant"
"attetion fools the raptor and the ape are my prisioners!"
"flattery will get you flatterned vermin"

"PATHETIC FLESH CREATURE! CAN'T YOU SEE WE ARE INVINCIBLE? COME DECEPTICONS, FOLLOW ME TO VICTORY!!!"

'nuff said.

"Wanna Bet!"

"Victory is made of the ashes of one's enemies."

"You should be honored, you will be the last of survivor of the human race."

"Pathetic fools! There's no escape!"


All hail Lord High protector Starscream
