Did starscream shoot megatron?

Dorothy didn't meet no Scarecrow.

Yeah, okay, I'm done.

I just watched the final conflict scene again and I'm gonna say No. Infact, he helped Megs out twice. First by shooting the coptor, leaving the Cube with Sam close to Megs. Second, Being disguised as one of the US jets, I believe he had access to communication between the jet fighters and knew they were coming to attack Megs. So he beat them to the punch. When the scene transitioned from Screamer to Megs, the jets following Screamer had a new threat to deal with and they chased Screamer down. Meanwhile, the other available fighters not occupied with their new course of action shot down Megs. Granted, once Megs was defeated, typical Screamer left him for dead.

 

To me the only burning questions that remained after watching the movie is, is Scorponok still living and WTF happened to Barricade.

this is important because I AM RIGHT AND NOMOLOS IS WRONG PERIOD HIS OPINION DOESNT MATTER

 

don't be a soup nazi.

can somebody just close this before it gets more personal.

[I.S.T.]

Except that fact isn't something that can come down to opinion. It is a fact that a person can have a blood type of O Positive. It is a fact that Iraq was invaded in 2003 by the United States of America. It is a fact that Starscream wasn't fleshed out enough to be a traitorous bastard or not in the movie. He was just barely there.

 

Also, why did you complement Pete? he basically shot down your argument...

Such is my power of awesome, it compels people to love me.

 

P.S. Scorponok: who cares, they come away with a piece of his body, he's dead enough for story purposes

[TFVMMA]

Hah and I tought this thread was death... My opinion after seeing the scene is that starscream escaped after being hit in the air when he was battling with the f222s. But who knows after all is starscream :tflaugh

It's also a fact that something can't be a fact if you can dispute it, which proponents of the "Starscream shot Megatron" camp can.

 

Supplemental material from the prequel comic proves that this Starscream is just as traitorous as any other, but this isn't the kind of Megatron you can openly defy. Movie Megatron wouldn't tell Starscream to shut up, or kick sand in his eye, he'd jam his cannon up Starscream's nose and blow his brains out.

[I.S.T.]

I seriously doubt Bay counts the prequal comics as connected to his work. Unless he says something, they're really more of a very interesting Alt Universe kind of thing, IMO.

 

But of course, here is where we go into opinion rather than fact.

I complement pete b/c he shot me down respectfully. he can make me say well maybe I am wrong but who cares. the other guy seems to want it to be a real issue of proving me wrong. I still say who cares.
