So, unless he looks exactly like G1 SS, it's not him?

 

Except for authorial intent.

You know Lord Atmo, for someone who says they love Starscream, you sure have a lot of hatred for him.

 

I am a true fan, and I love the leader class design and yes, he does take after G1 Starscream

 

 

I have no hate for the character whatsoever. The only character I have hatred for is what I saw in the movie. And since he's not Starscream, then I don't technically hate Starscream.

 

Take after G1? Not at all! Shockwave and Optimus Prime take after G1. This design was a COMPLETE failure of an overhaul that pays ZERO tribute to Starscream. Not just G1, but ANY other Starscream we've ever seen!

 

He doesn't say anything a true SS would say. Given the classic line by G1 SS:

 

"What goes up, must come down! Bwahahahahaaa!!! The harder, the better!!!"

 

What'd this big ugly thing say in the situation? Probably nothing...He would just point and shoot. Like a true grunt would, not an air commander. He takes NO joy in his actions nor does he gloat and taunt his enemies. All of this is are actions Starscream is well known for. Add that to his head that breaks a pattern written in stone and you get a pile of shit with the name "Starscream" wrongfully slapped onto it.

 

And don't try to give me that "realistic movie design isn't gonna be the same" crap. If this was true, Optimus Prime wouldn't have such a G1 build and both Soundwave and Shockwave wouldn't have movie-ized G1 heads. For the umpteenth time, if the less popular cons get homages, Starscream would get them too. And since he didn't, he is NOT STARSCREAM!

 

Did you even read the comics? Because if you did, then you would see he acts just like G1 Starscream. Aesthetics aside he is not a homage, the homage was the G1 Movie Voyager Starscream, that was worse then the original mold of movie starscream.

Comics are not part of any official canon IMO, so I avoid them.

 

I don't CARE how he acts. Until I see a smirk, grin, or laugh on that hideous face of his, he will NOT be worthy of the name "Starscream".

 

Also, I've seen pictures of him doing identical poses to ones Starscream did in G1. It was downright insulting seeing that fat ugly piece of shit trying to look good with them. He's not Starscream, he's a wannabe trying to act like Starscream!

No, he just has to flow with the pre-established pattern. See my sig image if you don't get what I mean. Bottom middle is WAY out of place and flat up doesn't belong in there

Your saying the official released comics are not part of any cannon? Uh? Not sure if I follow your logic there. I get why your not accepting him based on looks, he does have a different head than the others. If this is all personal cannon stuff, I understand and respect that. But you can't expect others to share the same ideas or anything.

 

Wait, is this purely based on cosmetics?

Well Officially he is Starscream and the comics are official canon.

 

So your opinion on him is more of your own Personal canon. Though I have to wonder why you accept Animated Chinscream and not this Starscream :P

The comics are as canon as the Star Wars comics, which are nothing more than fan stories. I don't care how official the name is either. He doesn't fit the pattern and is NOT STARSCREAM!

 

Animated? Well let's see here....He's skinny, he smirks, acts pompous and arrogant, has a total traditional design with animated proportions. Well my god if he got this treatment in the movie, he would be traditional withg movie-level detail, not a fat ugly sasquatch! Again I say look at my sig image! Animated SS flows with the pattern!

 

Animated fits, hellscream DOESNT

The comics are cannon. The official sources make that decision, not us.

Eh Lucasfilm says the same about some Star Wars EU but I still reject it

Were you ever a Conquest reader by chance?

No sir. I don't read comics
