Yeah, so after Movie Starscream's...*ahem* questionable appearance came up recently in the discussion of Bumblebee's appearance in the upcoming "Transformers: Prime" series, I decided to apply my Photo-Shop scalpel to him to see if he could be saved.

 

After cutting out his unnecessary "body-fat" and turning it into a jetpack, drawing in some little flourishes like the Shoulder armor here and there, and finally Shaving down his chin and trying to give him an actual smirky little mouth... *gasp*... this is the result I got:

 

Here's a link to the original image for comparison: Link

 

Granted I don't know if the Transformation would work anymore, but I figure some Structural Designer could make it work if they had to, that's the beauty of Movie-Formers...

 

The question is, is it enough of an improvement?

The head needs work, other then that, he looks good

I couldn't figure out how to change his face without completely losing it's "Photo-Realistic" look for some reason, so I had to keep alterations minimal.

I can understand that, maybe with the right paint application, the face would look better

Yeah, this is way better then the way he turned out in the movies.

if somebody made a custom like this, I would buy it in a heart beat

^^ Dude, that would be awesome! O_O

 

And, (@ Victor Prime) Thanks for the compliment! :D

movie starscream is one of my favorite bot design from the movies.. if not my number one favorite.

 

his leg design is awesome. his hands rule.. two thumbs, come on!. i love the wing pieces on his shoulders and his head is just bad ass. there's nothing i'd do to the movie design that would improve it.
