I only liked Armada Starscream. He´s one of the most tragic characters in Tf history.

Mon Jun 25, 2007 11:09 pm

Oh, I'll agree on that. He's just trying to belong, but he doesn't fit in on either side. And in that sense HE'S the character I feel I am most like.... Armada Starscream, the outsider. I just don't belong anywhere.

I quite like Cybertron Starscream, he is not a total idiot screaming out "AHA MEGATRON, FOR TODAY, I DO BETRAY THE!" like G1 Starscream more or less does. Also Armada Starscream is very likable.

Cybertron or Galaxyforce Starscream were pretty interesting characters.

Leave now or forever hold what remains of your face.

Seriously, this thread isn't exactly safe for haters. You had best split before the natives start getting REALLY restless.

Your presence will agitate the jets. You DO NOT want to agitate the jets.

Tue Jun 26, 2007 5:01 pm

i am a jet!

Tue Jun 26, 2007 5:04 pm

I meant the hater. I've taken a look at his profile and I'm pretty sure he's not a jet. What do we have to do to keep the haters out? Post a 'jets only' tag on this thread?

Tue Jun 26, 2007 5:14 pm

you could but then you'd have 'em slipin in, in jet costumes!

Tue Jun 26, 2007 5:28 pm

Yeah, but they're easy to weed out. Ask 'em to fly around a bit.

Either that's an in-joke or somebody hasn't been taking their medication.

Tue Jun 26, 2007 5:42 pm

The former. Famous line from "Night of the Living Dead," with minor adjustments, commenting on the fact that Starscream is always dead. It never stops him.

Tue Jun 26, 2007 5:43 pm

Now THAT'S tenacity!

Tue Jun 26, 2007 5:47 pm

Of course. One of the best things about him. To Starscream, being disintegrated is a minor setback.

Tue Jun 26, 2007 5:50 pm

im not a girl and i dont love him but i like how starscream is the robot equivalent of cobra commander he has the same voice and the same traitor/coward traits that cobra commander has and i love that(ps im new i just joined the other day)

Starscream always has been my favorite charector by far. He's what a good villain should be. He's dangerious and unpredictable, and is out for his own best interests. At the same time there's an air of tragedy around him. Like all great villains you tend to sympathise with him. He's taken for granted, his boss is overbearing and abusive and never listens to him even when he's right, and he's had a friend turn his back on him.

Armada Starscream was a breath of fresh air. I was worried they'd try to pidgeon hole him into being a watered down rehash of G1. I was both surprised and delighted that they decided to go the inverse with him. Making him an honorable warrior should have made me mad. But it didn't. It fit, and I loved that he stood up for what he believed in and what he saw was right. When he sacrificed himself to prove a point and unite the Autobots and Decepticons against Unicron was touching and at the same time a sucker punch to me.

Cybertron (I'm skipping Energon/Super Link as that wasn't really Starscream, but an entirely different charector.) The most awesome version of Starscream since G1. He was a powerhouse, a juggernaught of unstoppable fury. Not one to sit back and plot he took his destiny by force. C-Starscream had numerious victories over C-Megatron and held his own against C-Optimus. But the greatest moment was when he took on the God/Creator of the Transformers: Primus. He lost both times but that wasn't the point. The point was outside of Unicron no other mech had the bearings to do what he did.

Now a present for all the fangirls (I'm not one. I'm a dude. And a Studicon at that.

). I went looking on the 'tube for some tribute videos and found 3 for each of the charectors listed. All bad ass.

I like how Starscream was portrayed as an outsider type of fellow in Armada. I'd have found his friendship with Alexis a little more believable had she been portrayed the same way. They would then have had common ground.

I was once in the same proverbial boat as Starscream, in that matter. Watching Armada progress, I observed that he behaved much in the manner I had when I made my first real friend.

Not a big fan of Starscream's portrayal's outside of G1 (definitely has alot to do with the voice actor as well. You can't imitate him. Just doesn't work).

But, I did enjoy his appearance in Cybertron, I think it was? Whatever series where he got really big, and started owning the **** out of everyone, from both factions.
