protoform starscream has normal legs, but earth starscream has hind legs?!?!

whats up with that, BTW here is a description of a hind leg:

hind legs: a strange shape of legs which is usually common for a cat, dog, rabbit or any other type of ground animal, very useful for gaining speed or jumping great distances.

also, wtf is going on starscream!!!

He doesn't need them for his entry mode.

The legs he has for his earth mode make PERFECT sense.

He's a jet. Were he to transform in mid-flight (since he can't just have and transform and what not..since jets kinda don't hover) and land on the ground with normal legs, the impact would destroy them. With the way his legs are jointed, they can absorb the impact much much better. They are functional, they work, he even shows this in the movie.

Yeah, well he's also got an Intelligence score of 9.0 in his Protoform mode, but an Intelligence of 4.0 in his Earth mode. I'd rather have that figured out.

In the novel, it said that the humans attacked him and fucked up his legs during an attack or something

Damn Hasbro and their drunk employees.

Yeap NGW said it, hind legs make perfect sense. If you're concerned about aesthetics, its not about having hind legs, its just that they're too short.

Wow, that's a new idea to me.

And it makes a lot of sense. Cool.
Feedback here! Criminals are HOT.
