    That may be true, but you've got to admit, Animated Screamer is smarter and more cunning than G1 Screamer. He could probably outsmart G1 Screamer and come up with a way to permanently incapacitate him.

    Animated easily for one he has more balls than G1 plus he basically took out the main autobot cast in transform and roll out(and was closer to defeating them than megatron). G1 starscream could talk the walk but couldn't walk the walk when it came to megatron were as animated was the complete opposite.Animated was a head but G1 was a ghost but animated could of easily gotten a new body due to his immortal allspark fragment in his head.

    G1, if only because of the immortality factor.

    Not funny.

    I say Animated. To me, Animated Starscream has a ferocity and cunning G1 Starscream lacks.

    I had forgotten to mention that as a ghost, G1 Starscream can temporarily possess any other robot from the Battlechargers up to Trypticon. So how about this scenario?

    G1 Starscream (possessing Trypticon) vs. Animated Starscream and his clone army

    A close call to be sure, but my money would be on G1 Screamer. He didn't need a bunch of Clones to back him up.

    I like them both equally. But in a one on one fight I'm going with Animated Starscream. He's larger, stronger and just as cunning as his G1 namesake.

    They are very similar, but Animated had the benefit of walking in G1's footsteps so I give G1 Starscream the vote since he's the O.G.

    Animated Starscream was fighting toe-to-toe with Megatron in 'A Bridge Too Close Part 2"

    In a 1 on 1 fight btw, then his clones came and helped out.

    Also, as has been stated, Starscream took on 5 Autobots at once, is more cunning than G1 Starscream and is more resilient. His clones were very strong too, and Optimus, Sentinel, Jazz AND Safeguard had a tough time taking down Ramjet, and this was 2 seasons since they first got their asses kicked by Starscream, and had far more experience (in Optimus' case).

    I chose G1 SS as I find the latter more cunning and Animated version too "direct" in his approach. Another factor taken into consideration is that G1 SS was "dummied down" in the original series. G1 SS was aggressive in the G1 Animated movie when he was chasing Springer and Arcee. IMO The original G1 SS isn't Meg's 2nd in command for nothing! ;)

    Armada Starscream would beat them both! *Runs and hides!*

    I think we have to remember that the Autobots in G1 were already warriors, and the Autobots in Animated were worker robots. So saying that Animated Starscream took out all the Autobots is true but not a fair comparison.

    This fight is still very interesting because of the immortality of both...but I think G1 Starscream would find a way to rip the Allspark shard out of Animated Starscream's head!

    Animated, definitely. His plans weren't always great, or successful, but he had some actual schemes beyond waiting for Megatron to get shot and then publicly declaring himself leader of the Decepticons. He also seemed a lot more powerful and more believable as both a credible threat to the Autobots and someone who could depose Megatron, with the right resources.

    I demand a recount. This poll is so full of fail, it's not even funny.

    Ah, you're right about Starscream fighting Optimus and his team, but let's not forget the fact that he also shot Ultra Magnus in the face. I don't care whether or not it's Starscream, but it takes big balls to actually knock down the hero of the Great War like that.

    Now, perhaps G1 Starscream's ghost might be able to possess Animated Starscream, but who knows what the Allspark shard will do to him?

    Animated Starscream was just a poor copy of the original. G1 wins hands down and easily. There wouldn't even have been an Animated Starscream without G1.
