I don't think he would like it.
The last time he had flames on his body, it burnt off 80+% of his skin and all his hair. And ruined his throat and nose.

It would bring back such painful memories for him. :P

But that eventually made him stronger. With new mechanical limbs.

Dam. He's gonna need a lot of help from the Force (the Dark one) to do business in the loo.

And he's probably kicking it with Qui-gon and Maul on the other side of the force, wishing that Lucus Films didn't rip appart their storylines to make one twin go emo in the books.

By the way, why does no one complain about the look to Starscreams head and um body? All we ever hear about is Prime.

I think it's because if one complained about Starscream's face then one may as well complain about all the other Transformers' faces. But Prime having flames...well, apparently that's not allowed. I like it, though. Not to the extent that I prefer it but enough to know that it isn't really an issue.

I'm fine with most of the deco, but i really wish that the designs are simplified. Fight scenes are really messy due to the designs.

Count me in. I'm complaining about Starscream's face. Looks like an insect. Better off as an Insecticon.

Heh, I was thinking the same thing when I saw the designs of him, Auto-bot.

Gotta agree with optronix91 about how the many gears makes them hard to look at when the actions are so fast and they basically waggle the camera like mad.

I have the impression that the camera man is drunk.

Do you think the camera man is holding on to a microscope, instead of a video recorder?

I'm wondering why his face is always glued to Prime's butt whenever Prime transforms. Resulting in transformations sequences showing only spinning dings and bells on the big screen.

Actually, the colours matter as well. Imagine if Starscream was coloured like this. You would be able to more-or-less identify him even with a shaky camera.

Every other big semi truck these days, regardless of color scheme, has some kind of flame detailing on it. No joke, hard to find many without the flames these days, least 'round these parts. I guess Optimus is just that cool. It's how he rolls dude.


here's proof of what you just said...
