Everyone has at some point, watched the Transformers - whether it be the tv series or the movies. While the robots and all their powers and transformations are definitely fascinating, some of the characters have etched themselves in the minds of generations of fans. This video is about arguably the evilest and most sadistic Decepticon to ever grace, or darken, the franchise - any guesses? It is none other than Starscream!
Starscream has featured in almost all Transformers properties and is a widely appreciated character. It is because of his popularity that we will focus only on the movies and animated series because the character has such extensive lore that it would become a 3-hour long video if we went into all the nitty-gritties. However, if you want the complete, detailed lore of the evil and cunning Starscream, comment down below!

@That80sGuy1972 2 жыл бұрын

@@SuperboyLilly Great point and I know. Unicron's partially restored head just materialized him a body at one point. That means his spark is related to material form and tangible in some aspect. So, disintegration technology would obliterate him if done to him in physical form or while he was inside a physical object/being. That would be an extremely huge boom, like at least a 99.99% matter-to-heat exchange unless vented to subspace, but it would work. Disintegration technology involves removing all intrinsic field cohesion. That causes all matter to fly apart and imposes maximum entropy upon all energy. It would not actually allow a Dr. Manhattan to happen (where his brilliance in the field let HIS "spark" survive that), it would just scramble things before scattering them and early in the scattering. So, that same "lazy writing" thing that Unicron did to just spawn Starscream a new body could also be applied to permanently end him via disintegration technology.

maybe my favourite starscream moment in any iteration is his testimony in more than meets the eye comic series. megatron was ready to accept his punishment which was certainly death. until starscream came and testified. he roasted megatron so hard he changed his mind and said "i'm not dying if starscream gets the last laugh"

One of the biggest unspoken truths of Megatron and Starscream rivalry is that Starscrean can actually BEAT megatron in straight up fight. Megatron has NO anti-air weapons in tank mode. His only chance is to stay in robot mode and shoot him down with his fusion cannon. But Starscream can fire his missiles from HALF A MILE AWAY, Megatron's cannon doesn't have that range. It's strange that this hasn't come up before.

Bloody, dark, sometimes funny but most of the time badass brutal. For example a huge Barbarian riding on a gigantic fire breathing Lion chasing a Car while rhe protagonists (A guy and his grumpy but badass Grandma) are trying to fight him with MG. And King Arthur as the undead main Antagonist is just bonechilling.

Some good quotes from Marvel UK's Crisis of Command story: "That is why Megatron, and Shockwave after him, were leaders, and you will never be anything more than battle fodder! You have no strategy, no subtlty. You are a missile with a mouth, Starscream!" -Soundwave "[Optimus Prime]'s just waiting to be put out of his misery... waiting for the final blow from Starscream-the leader killer!" "Now, leader killer. We are alone. No lackeys to order or hide behind. Just you... just me... so kill me!" -Starscream's bluff is called by Optimus Prime, a second before Prime punches him so hard his wings fly off
