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 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.

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!!!"

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."

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

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!"

"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...

by **Jazzz** » Thu Feb 28, 2008 7:33 pm

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?

by **TransX** » Thu Feb 28, 2008 7:47 pm

"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.
