    Best Starscream ever.

    I love how complicated his character is and how devious he is. Plus being voiced by Steve Blum is full of nothing but win.

    Starscream is definitely the awesome. LOVE his voice, just done so well.

    LCDR, great points. You summarized Star well.

    But I have to say the FE version is superior to the RiD version. The FE is already too tall in comparison to Voyager Megatron and putting a Voyager sized Starscream beside him would look absolutely ridiculous.

    Also capable of crossing his arms in front of or behind his back. And sitting up on my monitor to watch Autobots hahah: (Yes sorry about focus and his crest was bent in the shot)

    I loved Starscream back in season one. I found that very strange as I usually hate G1 styled Starscreams.

    The stupid thing is even after he was so shit in season 2, a part of me still wants to hope he'll improve later. I guess they did let him get a mcguffin from the mcguffin 4 parter so maybe there is hope. Even if the mere fact he survived the episode was due to constant luck. But hey, the official Decepticons' victory wasn't much better considering the Bots got more out of the episode than they did.

    I guess all I can do is hope and enjoy the times when he was awesome like partners. I think that's the episode of Prime I've rewatched the most.

    I'll admit he's funny but he's too unserious for me to accept him as the awesome Starscream from season one who found a perfect balance between seriousness and silliness.

    Well, to each his own. I think this Starscream is just the other side of him once he doesn't have crazy plans to back himself up. He turns out to be a lot sillier and a lot more simpering.

    Sure Starscream having to get around without having a bunch of lackies running after him makes for ineteresting character development. But they drown it out with stupidity.

    In season one he seemed smart. Having a reason for Megatron not to kill him in darkness rising, actually having plans that go beyond finding a mcguffin, manipulating his his way into having he advantage in a fight when Arcee wanted to kill him.

    In season two we get a Starscream who has deserted but still thinks he has command and can never shut up about killing Cliffjumper even though he only executed him as a prisoner.

    Well, rulls, killing Cliffjumper is the only thing he ever has done.

    "Killing you is going to be as fun as the time I almost killed Megatron!"

    "Ah, Bulkhead. Fully recovered after I came really close to killing you, I see!"

    "Arcee, I will burn a hole in you like I almost burned a hole in the ice cap!"

    True but he managed to get through season one without bragging about it apart from trying to show off to Airachnid who was trying to get his job and to taunt Arcee as Cliff was her partner.

    Prime Starscream is easily my favourite character on this show. He's so funny, and the way he goes about trying to command the Decepticons, even after abandoning them! :lol  He's just an over all enjoyable character to watch.

    Starcream riding a scooter was beautiful to watch.

    I'll never forget you, Starscream's scooter.

    Starscream's easily my favourite character, yeah he's getting a bit pathetic in season 2, but he's still very entertaining to watch, Steve Blum does a wonderful job voicing him. Here's hoping he'll get some sort of ally soon, though perhaps not TC or SW, maybe something new?
