F-Y-I this is a new DAMN TOPIC! NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PEE JOKE,OK?!

Starscream is one of my least favorite characters, but the new movie version just blew me away! How the hell did it get to be cool? I love this new version. But the real Question is: How did Starscream's new design come to be?

They took a monkey, BW Waspinator, the Joker's face, and a plane and mixed them with each other.

Don't worry, Burn. He's digging his hole.

I think it is funny that he claims to be the expert, but he only appears now on the board after the movie is now in the theaters.

I did like Starscream's design in the movie and thought it was amazing.

I don't know how they came up with it, but I love it.

The legs are actually Velociraptor legs (NOT Chicken), becauae A) Raptors run hella fast, and B) he's an F-22 Raptor.

His upper body is larger so he can get more forward momentum, making him better for ramming. That's also why his arms are the way they are. You know how you move your arms back and forth when running? Imagine how that would go if you had large arms.

All part of my prophecy: "After the movie is released, swarms of noobs will come, each and every one of them will have some knowledge of Transformers. However, some will know nothing, yet claim to know all."

Seriously, I predicted all of this three years ago.

So then Popeye would run like the Flash. Even more so when hopped up on spinach.

Dude, drop the attitude if you wish to stay around.
You may consider this your 2nd warning.

I'm just upset that just because I'm 14, I'm not a true Iransformers fan.
I've researched Transformers non-stop for 12 years and this is what I get? Banned from other T-F fans and the website I love the most? I have tons of freinds, but none of them like Transformers. So I'm just tring to make one that does.

:BOT: I'm going to pretend that post was sarcasm instead of intentional baiting.

I feel like we've warned you enough tonight. When people sign up on the board, all we ask is for posters to respect each other. If someone doesn't agree with you or posts a snide remark, post something a little more courteous than that.

So I'm asking everyone to please drop it.

Back on track. I happen to like the design. Though I like the movie toy Thundercracker head since it's G1-esque. :CON:

See, and here I thought the way to making friends, was to not be a douche. -sigh- Ever since Mr.Rogers kicked the bucket, the youth has no guidance.

How the hell were you researching Transformers when you were 2?

Thank you for your opinion.
I am thankful for this knowledge.

How do you research anything when you were 2? No one's insulting you because your young, their doing it because your acting like a jerk to people that don't agree with you. And for making stupid statements that can't possibly be true.

Since you were two?

Anyway, Starscream DID look awesome. He kicked some ass, his voice was awesome, and his personality was, for the most part, kept in tact.

By the way, were the Cybertronian symbols similar at all to the Cybertronian text from Beast Wars? I'm not sure.

Bit of advice.

Someone says your not a fan? Ignore 'em. You don't need the approval of others to be a fan of something you enjoy.

I've researched Transformers non-stop for 12 years and this is what I get? Banned from other T-F fans and the website I love the most? I have tons of freinds, but none of them like Transformers. So I'm just tring to make one that does.


Then you might want to ease up the hostility. Snapping at people because they disagree with you isn't going to win friends.

That's the joy of forums, people come together to discuss things, they're not always going to agree and that's what makes a decent discussions. Different points of view.

Respect the Mods.
Respect the other posters.
They'll respect you in return.

... hey ... now I get it why people don't like me! :grin:

They look sort of like Kanji to me. At least they do on that overpriced Jumbo pop cup I bought. Starscream was easily the best part of this movie. Although he didn't get enough screen time. His design worked for the movie, although it still was ugly.

I'm ready to let this go, if you are.

I'm initial post on this thread was my serious opinion and it has been discussed and this SS has been compared to those different characters for months before this film has come to the theaters.

Megs and Screamers designs are the only two I have a problem with; I had a problem when I first saw them and I will never get to even tolerate them.

About Starscream...

Starscream actually used to one of my favorites. I grew up on an Air Force base so I was exposed to a lot of air shows and got to be up close and personal with a lot of the Jets. The transition of Starscream from an F-15 to a YF-22 makes perfect sense. Not to mention is damn cool.
