Sorry if the title is a spoiler for you. The writers at BotCon said Starscream's spark is extinguished, not in stasis lock. They also eluded to a Seeker Clone Army! Later they showed Starscream next to Thundercracker and Skywarp recolors and said they will release the toy in all 3 color schemes eventually. Your thoughts?

He's being kept alive by the piece of the Allspark in him, and I would imagine that if he doesn't get to keep that permanently he will eventually find a way to reignite his "spark".

As for the three Seekers, it's wishful thinking for me to want them all in the show but I do have questions on the colours.

Since Starscream is already blue is Thundercracker just a darker blue?

And please tell me that Skywarp is mostly black like this:

Is he? Is he?! I need to know. ;_;

You're talking about TF:A? I was wondering what happened there.

I figured Screamer was in a CR tank like he was put in to after Infiltration, when he took a similar direct hit to the chest from Meg's cannon. I guess not.

So I wonder what will happen to his body? Do the writers hint at it being like the "Extermination Squad" Megs had in War Within: Age of Wrath, only with Megs using Starscream's body as the base?

I'd hate to think of Cracker and Skywarp being only "drones" in a clone army. I'd rather not have them in animated at all if that's the case.

Well I hope SS is not getting killed off kinda enjoyed his new demeanor as a immortal and his willie coyote like rampage on Megatron.
If by TC and SW being clones is like in G1 where there just repaints I can deal with that as long as they have a personality and story that is there own.

That was a total "Groundhog's Day" moment!

Well, he's pretty lively for a dead guy... Gotta love that psychotic little biplane. Even being DEAD is just a minor setback for him!

What I want to know is why Megatron dosen't even take into consideration how Starscream keeps attempting to kill him even with no spark.

I think the more important question is why can Megatron dent Starscream's wing with his bare hand, yet not even make a scratch with a point blank shot from the fusion cannon? :lol:

I was impressed with the fact that Megatrons Attack in the Season1 finale was strong enough to kill Starscream in the first place.

Wil. E Starscream (suits him, I think) is a nice change up for the character, I wonder what the writers have in store for him now...

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. If Starscream is already colored like Thundercracker, what's Thundercracker going to be colored? Red and white?

Please, please, please tell me Starscream isn't dead in Animated already and that easily!

After watching that episode, I see it's not quite exactly what I thought. I wonder what happened to Starscream. Did the Elite Guard take him to a prison on Cybertron? I think Megatron will be in for a surprize when he takes his space bridge to Cybertron. :wink:

But as for Starscream, I wonder how he'll escape and create his Seeker clone army. No doubt with the help of some Allspark shards(or Smallsparks).

BTW, TC looked even bluer than Starscream. I think he used some darker blues, some lighter blues, and I think some silver. SW looked exactly like Tekka's picture. Silver chest, lot's of black with a little purple.

Oh sweetness! Thank you, you have made me very happy.

Smallsparks, lol. That is the best way to describe them.

Well, he's sort of dead. His Spark was extinguished. The AllSpark fragment (Or, as Jazz referred to it, SmallSpark) in his head is keeping him alive. Which is going to be tough when they have to take it out.

Although unlikely, it's possible that the 'bots managed to extract it from his forehead when they took him into custody. However, this would also entail that they are aware that he is a sparkless, "SmallSpark" run machine, which I don't think they are. I don't even think Megatron and the Decepticons are aware of it. So it's most likely that he still has that fragment embedded in his forehead and he'll be back. After all, something causes Megatron to set Lockdown on him.

I can say with certainty he still has it because there is no way they are going to kill off a character.

They will just come up with another scenario that will keep him in. I mean They came up with this (the whole spark in his head thing); and who saw that coming?.

Not I for one.

But showing that Megatron has enough power to put a Con as strong as Starscream offline in a single attack was damn nice.

What I want to clarification on is if the "smallspark" is also stopping Starscream from taking any structural damage, I know it heals all the other bots when the key is used, so I assume that it is keeping Starscream minty fresh, but I cannot be sure.

I think as quickly as a Robot is Damaged the bits of "Smallspark" repairs them just as rapidly. Im telling you this is going to turn into Megatron searching for Energon (cubes), except in this case its bits of "Smallspark".
