Imao, Imagine if Prettypoison WAS Starscreams Legal/Og name and just changed it cuz it sounds like some stage name you would hear from a Str1p Club. Can't have the future 'Leader' of the Decepticon being called PrettyPoison.

He totally probably still uses his og name for undercover missions.

Montage class prof asked us to do a rhythmic montage (think of it as a tiktok edit) of whatever we like, so i'm obviously doing a Transformers thrist trap. Can be any music we like, only has to be instrumental and last about 3-4 mins. I chose Rude Boy by Rihanna, but i'm keeping an open mind so if anyone has any ideas, drop em lol

my brain was like "draw starscream" but it didnt specify which one

(i changed TFP star's colors a little. also he looks more tired because i headcanon he doesnt get much sleep because of nightmares, or because of megatron. or both)

People always like to make Shockwave roughly the same age as Optimus and Megatron or even Starscream or sometimes even older but I’ve always thought it’d be fucking hilarious if he were, like, significantly younger than them. Like, early 20s to their grizzled middle aged veterans. It would make everything about him so much funnier. His insistence on obeying logic at all costs even though a lot of his decisions are clearly based on his emotional impulses of rage and sadism would basically be the equivalent of a shitty teenager destroying you with facts and logic in the YouTube comment section. His giant imposing body would get other, older Decepticons to try and reminisce with him about something that happened eons before he was even sparked, leaving him to plainly state his age AGAIN, in a “exasperated thirteen year old on Xbox live” voice. Starscream thinks they have a glorious rivalry for Megatron’s throne. Shockwave just thinks Starscream is an irritating boomer. The comedic possibilities abound.

re:different interpretations of a particular character across media. Not the same anon but I think an accessible point of comparison is in comics especially Marvel or DC where different characters are regularly reimagined and can sometimes vastly differ depending on the writer and story that writer wants to tell. Like the Harley Quinn played by Margot Robbie is vastly different from how she was originally conceived (and even from movie to movie depending on who’s directing). And they’re both different than how she is in the animated Harley Quinn Show or who’s writing her in the comics. They’re allowed to act differently because they’re operating in different roles for different purposes. Transformers has basically always functioned like this too. The Harley in B:TAS isn’t going to act like the one in the Harley Quinn show because it would be out of character for that version of her, the same way you wouldn’t expect Starscream from Transformers Animated to act like the one in Prime. Not to say these shows don’t have their issues, but I just bring it up to express that continuity wise it’s more about maintaining internal consistency within the story and the following through if you set something up to be payed off eventually then adhering to strict rules for a specific character.

Yes! I think that's what I was kinda getting at myself (I feel like I lost my point in the post and the subject maybe, because now I'm rereading it and it's more of op saying "he's within his character to act this way!" And that's ok! 100%) but yes anon this is kinda what I was getting at.

Esspcially since I used to be a very big Marvel fan, these characters have seen so many variants of each other. Even in uts own media, Loki being a great example both in and out of comic, in the mcu and his own show.

There are Loki variants, they all kinda uobokd these "Loki like" traits, however they are their OWN person ,their OWN Loki. With different stories, roles, personalities that make them unquie but still inherently Loki.

I feel this way with Starscream and his Variants. As you said TFa and TFP are , both Starscreams but they are very different. They share the deviousness, cunning, and backstabbing nature. They both are kiss asses who won't hesitate to kill you if he sees an opening. But put them in a room they are so different in how they go about things.

I feel Tfa is way more stubborn and head strong, wanting to be cunning but also lieo LEMME KILL THIS BITCH IM SO DONE BEING SUBTLE- while TFP is way more prone to cowarding away from things. It fits both their narratives and their responses to their own Megatron. Because TFA Megs is NOTHING like TFP in the slightest.

Same as G1 and Sky bound Starscream. Look the same, BUT ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING THE SAME. Sjosjdjdd who have a smol silly villian for giggles to literally murderous psychopath. Lol

I think that is my problem with TF:ES and Armada going into the rest of the trilogy. Is the Obvious want to step away from these inherently Starscream characterization, and IMMEDIATELY backpedleing.

You can not, set up this character to lead into an arc, to address these issues and then. Not only abandon it. But use a poor excuse of exposition, to say "Well Starscream does what he does." When in the VERY SAME SHOW, you have SHOWN his actions to contradict that very explanation.

No it is not in Earthspark Starscream's character to do and be bad because that 1. Wasn't established to be the case and 2. The episode of his introduction was literally based off of "Starscream is as selfish as they come" and SHOWING that statement to be FALSE by saving Hashtag.

*inhales*

*exhales*

I get the perspective that , Starscream can and should be allowed to be evil/bad as he has always been. You're allowed to enjoy that ! You're allowed to enjoy him that ! I do in his variants even if I make not like the media he come that time (looks at Sky bound) but I can appricate it.

However, it is also allowed to want more than this copy paste character for him. Because he is allowed to be different for each story, esspcially if the story sets him up that way.

I think as the reader/audience the biggest problem, with not just Transformers, but things like Marvel/DC, anything adjacent that has reoccurring characters of different variants to just. Is to have the expectation that they MUST abide by these characters "rules". And that to break them, is to some how destroy the character. People are allowed to want more for a character in a franchise that is not afraid to change up their characters. For better or even somtimes for worse, not everything will go well (Bayverse COUGH) but its a different take. And there is a reason some ppl prefer these things that are not aligned with the norm. because its different.

Tdlr

Yes Starscream can be evil, and that's ok. But wanting some change ina a franchise where these characters have seen so many changes in design, character, personality and backstroy. It is also vaild to want to see Starscream take into those changes and commit to them. He doesn't have to be a super ubber sweetheart, but it be nice for him to be a lil better and be able to come around like other cons do.

Doodles of a silly Transformers AU idea i had when doing a whitebkard with friends!!! :3333

[mfdragon]

Next up on the roster… the scrungly. the motherfucker. The biggest babygirl.

HE!

But seriously, this is my second favourite character in the show and it’s truly a mystery it took me this long to draw any content with him.

I’m still kinda figuring out which concept I like most for Screamer, but someone gave me the idea that whichever I go for, the rest can be the clone designs. And that person is a GENIUS!
