When it was first rumored that Thundercracker was nothing more than an upgraded Starscream, fan reaction was almost entirely negative. However, we now know WHY this near blasphemous atrocity is going to happen. Originally, they were supposed to be two separate characters, however a problem caused that to be changed. An animation error. Because of an animation error from Aeon, Starscream (one of the most beloved characters in Transformers history) will become Thundercracker (otherwise known as “The blue guy who looks like Starscreamâ€). This isn’t a case of drawing an Autobot symbol where there’s supposed to be a Decepticon insignia. This isn’t drawing Optimus Prime’s super mode when Jet Convoy should be on the screen! (Although both of these were just the mark of plain laziness!) This is an atrocity! And you know what the worst part is? There is absolutely NOTHING that can be done about it. Because of the error, the entire show had to be re-written to make it appear that Starscream becomes Thundercracker. Of course, this won’t be the first time to dialogue doesn’t fit what’s happening on the screen. Vent your rage at The Energon Pub !
