So I just had a dawning thought: If there is a sequel, more characters of course. Possibly more jets. The question is:

 

If Thundercracker and/or Skywarp were in the sequel would you prefer them:

 

1) Redecos of Starscream

2) Redecos of each other.

3) The same vehicle, but transforming differently between them.

4) Different vehicles, but transforming into similar looking robots.

5) Separate characters, separate alt modes, separate character appearances.

Different characters, different transformations, and slightly separate character appearances (yet kinda slightly the same too).

But alt modes really doesn't bother me honestly.

same vehicle, different transformation

same vehicle, different transformation

 

That'd rock IMO.

Both flying vehicles, but completely different in every respect beyond that, just like they did with Ironhide and Ratchet.

Different robot modes, similar (but not identical) vehicle modes. Let's not forget, the only reason they looked alike to begin with was because it was cheap to design them that way.

I think they would all be cool as F-22's.

Wouldn't mind them being the same type of jet but with different transformation styles

All the same as starscream(F-22 Raptor) with different robot forms.

I think it'd be redundant. Why waste one of your character slots on a Starscream clone when you could do something different instead?

 

Not to mention that all of the non-Starscream seekers had as much character development in G1 as Starscream did in the movie.
