Starscream’s new frame in RiD2015 seems quite robust, and I like that he went back to his old color scheme but sadly the wings aren’t expressive anymore.
Starscream himself however appears slower, less impulsive, and much less violent/aggressive compared to TFP. I didn’t see any missiles flying after those escaping Autobots there, he just stops and is angry.
I literally cannot believe Starscream glomped Megatron after being reunited, “IT’S ME, STARSCREAM, WE’RE BACK, WE’RE BACK!!” Then helped him up and asked “Aren’t you glad to see us?!” Like……..
This was literally the gayest thing I’ve ever seen. I /had/ to gif it.
Like lemme just point out all the gayness: -The fact that Starscream fearlessly sprints at Megatron, even though Megatron is shooting in his direction at the Autobots behind him. (Which is very unlike Starscream in a normal situation – he would usually try to avoid Megatron’s aim or get his attention from a distance. But in this case, Starscream has been away from the Present Time, low on energy, pressured by responsibilities, and away from Megatron for a while. It’s very safe to assume he missed Megatron.. a lot.) -Full body glomp into Megatron’s arms. -The firm, ((but affectionate)) touch on Starscream’s arm when they’re on the ground, since Megatron is upset at missing the shot. -Starscream helps him up!! And keeps clinging to his arm after Megatron stands up.
G1 megastar has been intensely coded through the entire series like look at this:
starscream smiling at megatron and seeking his approval many times
the thing you made a gif of but here’s a clear still of it
at one point megatron gently holds SS and helps him up while praising him (probably being sarcastic but why the fucc u helpin him)
dont even get me started on starscream getting intensely jealous when Nightbird came around despite supposedly hating Megatron and never wanting his attention™ (even snarking and going “SHES NOT SO HOT!”)
the fact that 99% of the time, starscream is the one to shoot megatron in gun mode… which is arguably megatron’s most vulnerable state
laughing together
that one scene where megatron actively caresses starscream’s arm…
there was also a scene where megatron places his hand on ss’s shoulder when ss is sitting at the command console but i cant find it
Remember that scene in the episode Regeneration, when Dreadwing nearly killed Starscream?
Starscream looked at Knockout desperately and yelled, “Knockout, help me!!!” Only to have Knockout run out of the room, and leave Starscream to his fate. Knockout basically refused to help him, and left Starscream to die.
Or did he?
What if Knockout was the real reason Starscream wasn’t killed by Dreadwing?
During the time that Dreadwing was ganging up on Starscream, Megatron was all the way on the other side of the ship. As a result, he had no clue what was going on or what Dreadwing was up to.
Knockout on the other hand, knew exactly what was going on and what Dreadwing’s intentions were. When Dreadwing cornered Starscream and the seeker cried out to him in desperation, Knockout honestly wanted to help him, but unfortunately, he was just as frightened as Starscream was. Instead of staying to help, he ran out of the room.
As soon as he left the room however, he regretted it. Knockout remember the day he wasn’t there for his best friend Breakdown, and he lost him to Arachnid. The docbot knew he wouldn’t be able to live with himself, knowing he let Starscream suffer a similar fate. He knew he had to do something to help.
And do you know what he did?
He ran to Lord Megatron and told him what Dreadwing was going to do to Starcream.
Knockout had no intention of facing Dreadwing himself, as he knew he’d be no match for him. However, Megatron on the other hand, could easily take Dreadwing down. And that’s exactly what Megatron did.
So Knockout, in a way, never truly left Starscream to die at the hands of Dreadwing. Sure, he ran out of the room, but he did it for two reasons.
Bulkhead must be one of the gentlest bots there are. He could have easily smashed that phone into powder, but he manages to pick it up and balance it on it finger tip.
There are probably dozens of shots just like these throughout Transformers Prime; scenes featuring a group of autobots casually walking through a base interior. But I love that here, Knock Out is walking alongside them unironically. Hell, Arcee and Smokey are even walking with their backs turned to him.
