ok, lets start digibashing these guys in g1 colours :tflaugh

How does starscream wipe his ass?????

meh.

I don't like "Starscream" because NOTHING about that toy has anything to do with the original character. It's not about making everything super-G1-ish, it's about preserving what makes a character who he is. The body is too bulky. The arms are freakin' HUGE. The legs? Don't get me started. And that head! It's absolutely HIDEOUS!!! It looks like whatever giant robot chose this form watched Star Wars too damn many times and bought himself a giant Darth Vader Voice-Changer mask! Yeah, they can write him like Starscream, they can make his voice similar, and make him a back-stabbing bastard, but that doesn't make him Starscream.

 

And before people jump on the "STFU G1 Fanboy" bandwagon, ask yourself: If your favorite live-action TV show or movie franchise suddenly lost one of its stars due to contract issues, death, whatever, and tried to replace that star with another actor--and tried to pass him off as the exact same character--you'd probably be pretty pissed. Would you like it if Lucas made "Star Wars Ep. 7" and cast Caspar van Dein (however you spell his name) as Han Solo? Would you accept Sarah Gilbert from Roseanne as Princess Leia? How many Stargate SG-1 fans are still Starscreaming because Richard Dean Anderson left the show, and they replaced him with a new character played by Ben Browder from Farscape? It's the same thing for me. I don't need them to be "men in suits". I just want them to be recognizable as the characters that got me into this whole mess of a hobby to begin with. Or, just make him someone else. Don't call him Starscream because that's not who he is.

They suck ass. What the hell is going on with Starscream? Didn't Takara just show us that you can make a realistic jet and leave the robot looking very good at the same time?

thank god theres still someone on this forum i can relate to.

I'm not digging the toys as of right now. I wish I liked transtech but apparaently, I don't.

you're right, he's not G1 Starscream. just like AEC-Screamer is not G1 Starscream. it's a new continuity, not G1 revisited. your xenophobia is unfounded.
