Another point to add to the list: He's freakishly strong - he punches straight through Cliffjumper's chestplate, bare handed - he manages to hold up the giant boulder for a while, the one that Bulkhead (who's like 3 times his mass) was struggling with - he carries a giant fossil like it's almost nothing - he carries that big stack of energon cubes - he drags around his clone's body and Vehicon corpses He looks like a twig, but he's insanely strong, physically.

Starscream actually almost located the Autobot base on multiple occasions

[@alpha-noob7820]

I know I’m late, but what I think is best about Starscream is that he is smart enough to run. There are so many characters in shows that fight till the end but Starscream is one of the few that is smart enough to run away when he is outmatched. He knows his limits and is not afraid to look cowardly and run, that deserves respect.

[@clownplayer7265]

He's way braver he gets credit for. Consistently in almost every iteration is usually the only decepticon who questions Megatron's decisions, he actually tries to make an extremely risky bargain with the omega keys to Megatron himself to get back with the Decepticons, and if he were a total coward, he wouldn't have even participated in a lot of the battles, nor would have bothered trying to save Breakdown from M.E.C.H. (Megatron didn't want to lift a finger and left Breakdown to his luck, Starscream disobeyed his orders and secretly gathered a squadron to rescue Breakdown despite how dangerous MECH and the autobots are.)

And it’s not just TFP starscream, a lot of scream’s have pulled out the odd cool or threatening moment, armada starscream is sword wielding badass, animated starscream, while close to g1 starscream was a pretty central antagonist and was the most dangerous villains of s1 before megatron resurfaced, hell even g1 starscream has his moments.

[@nightlight-nuisance2971]

- Starscream was also resourceful in the fact he stored energon from the mines away from the decepticons if he would ever need it - he was a good commander and probably actually took time to train the vehicons as they seem to be stronger when under the command of starcream as opposed to megatron he also can hover as a jet and that makes him powerful XD

[@DarkOneSixtyfour]

As someone who has been raised in an abusive environment and was nearly groomed into having sex with a 50 year old man while I was only 18. I can safely say that Starscream's fear of Megatron doesn't come from fear of pain or even death but fear of how much control he has over his life. It wasn't the fear of these things that made me terrified what scared me was the fear that someone else had total control over my life and body. Starscream will always be my comfort character because he makes me feel seen and validated even if he deserved better in the end.

Fallible and ocasionally bumbling as he is, Animated Starscream puts it at it's best after some failures: "I think I need another approach."

[@vaggos2003]

Well, since we have Starscream appreciation day, here is my chance to talk about what I consider to be the second greatest Starscream moment in the entire Transformers franchise (the first is his sacrifice in Transformers: Armada and it's not even close). The moment I want to talk is Starscream standing up to Megatron in episode 5 of Transformers: War For Cybertron: Kingdom. Megatron has grabbed Statscream, holds him above a cliff and prepares to finish him off. Up to that point, Megatron was getting more and more frustrated with Starscream. We started with Starscream getting promoted as leader of the Seekers, then Starscream started trying to undermine Megatron, until Starscream started his own betrayal scheme with Dinobot and Black Arachnia. Megatron had enough of Starscream's BS at that moment and was ready to kill him...but Starscream told him the truth about Galvatron. This is one of Starscream's main characteristics. His cunning. He knew what to say to bring Megatron to his side. But, my friends, this is not even close the reason as to why this scene is so fantastic. Bravery does not mean absense of fear. Bravery means overcoming the fear. At that point, Starscream was terrified. He was getting visions of the monstrosity known as Unicron and his abusive leader was holding him from the edge of a cliff and ready to execute him. But what made WFC Starscream stand out from other Starscreams is that everything he did, all the betrayals and schemes, they were done with the Decepticon cause at mind. WFC Starscream showed that he cared for the cause and for his fellow Seekers and he wanted to become leader because he believed that he was the one who could truly do what needed to be done. At that moment, Starscream was getting haunted by visions of a greater threat, he was cornered by someone bigger and stronger than him who refused to listen to reason, he was terrified and one step away from certain doom...but he still found the courage to do what needed to be done. How Megatron responded to the revelation about Galvatron? He got confused. He hesitated. He didn't know what to do. When Starscream offered his help, Megatron tried to undermine him. This is what he was doing in the whole Trilogy. He was either forcing people to his will or trying to make others look worse than him. And Starscream didn't need to say or do much to prove him wrong. "You can't do anything right!" "I can fly." Megatron was angry, confused, he didn't even remember what he was fighting for at this point. But Starscream regained his courage, knew what he was fighting for and proved his own words correct by doing what needed to be done (stopping Megatron) and he did that in style. This scene becomes even better if we take into consideration Starscream's reputation to lots of writers and fans as a weak pathetic useless b@$%&. This scene made me respect the character of Starscream even more and after seeing him be the punching bag for basically everyone, especially Megatron, seeing him own Megatron like that is so satisfying. Many people say that Elita-1 is the best character in the WFC Trilogy, but I'm not one of them. Yes, Elita-1 was great, but I feel Starscream was this trilogy's best character. He is the one who gets the most and the more consistent growth, he is the one who we see get to the spot he is now and he is the one who gave us the best scene in the entire trilogy and one of the best moments in all of Transformers. #RespectForStarscream

If you consider the overall franchise Starscream is the only cosmically powered bot to kill a majority of the cast. Repeatedly. And also possess others when offlined or be possessed himself when online, which is pretty cool to think about.

[@qwerty975]

....yet in the movie Sam kills him....

[@clownplayer7265]

Starscream's biggest asset is that while you know he'll scheme and betray for power, he doesn't usually repeat the methods if he can help it. He can get extremely unpredictable and ocasionally hard to permanently counter. And while he might not be the best physical fighter compared to Megatron, he's arguably the Decepticon high court resident trickster, most of his victories are based around misdirection, sabotage, and in a physical fights he's well known for his speedy manouvers over typical brute force.

[@kharpa2597]

I must confess; even if I paying him no sympathy it was always interesting to watch after him, to see that he will come up with or how he would escape deadly situations; 'cause he as smart as hell and that makes him a real kind of trouble for others.

[@myrnacrawford9971]

I swear, if it weren't for the writers constantly pushing him down, along with the rest of the main cast's PLOT ARMOUR, Starscream would completely rule the TFP Universe. His plans always fail by a combination of his enemy's dumb luck, and the fundamental stupidity of all fictional characters ever. If he ever fought all out, he would probably be on equal footing with, or even above Soundwave. Hear me out. they both have similar skillsets, and before y'all say "OH, BUT WHAT ABOUT LASERBEAK", he'd either shoot Laserbeak out of the sky with a missle, or take him out of commission with his CLAWS, and use Soudwave's anger at laserbeak being hurt against him. Now I know SOMEBODY is gonna mention the tentacles we occasionally see Soundwave use, and I say to that, STARSCREAM HAS FREAKING CLAWS. Starscream'll just shred them, and then Soundwave will be leaking energon. Starscream is the winner of that fight, no questions asked.

Honestly, Starscream is just hands down the best boi. 👌🏾 I love how complex and calculated his character is. He's really good at acting and knowing when to act weak and pathetic to appear less threatening. He even goes as far as to flutter his wings and lower them at times. The one SS moment that I will never get over is how SS actually saved Arcee when he had the perfect opportunity to kill her. She was trapped and ready to die, but instead of killing her Starscream mentioned how she once spared his life and he ends up sparing hers. I thought that was a very powerful moment for him because it really didn't benefit him in anyway. But he clearly still has a bit of honour in some way. And don't even get me started on his transformations. They're so smooth! Prime Starscream is my absolute favourite version of Starscream. 🤩

[@kovval8835]

I'm wondering why starscream besides these advantages seems to be pathetic wimp so many times, Dreadwing or Soundwave abused by Megatron like that will give him at least a decent fight (before being trashed into pieces btw). I think with enought martial arts training and upgrading his body into bigger, stronger frame starscream will gain some confidence boost and become badass villain. Btw, first starscream concept was rejected by the writers, because he looked "like he can stand a chance against Megatron"

[@Greenkitten45]

Well, to be fair, one of Starscream's strengths could be that he doesn't look threatening compared to the other Decepticons, which allows him to inadvertently get away with more and get closer to others than if he were a bulky warrior type like Skyquake and Dreadwing.

[@kharpa2597]

if he was strong and bulky it'd ruin Starscream we know; lack of strength makes him find other way and think to survive; otherwise, would he need to improve his intelligence skills if he could just use force to get anything he needs? I can see why writers regected the concept; that makes him balanced. Btw, armada starscream is example of that I'm saying. He looks "like he can stand a chance against Megatron" but not cunning at all.

[@oopsalleyes]

I mean, if he could physically stand a chance against Megatron, then this late into the war he'd either be leader or dead. Megatron keeps him around because for all his treachery he's a damn good second in command and Megatron knows he has the physical strength and position needed to keep him in line. If Starscream actually stood a chance in a straight fight, this barely balanced dynamic would fall apart. As for the wimp thing... okay the is plain theory crafting I think being around Megatron actively makes Starscream worse. At the start of the show, Megatron was gone for three years, and what happens? Starscream gets competent. He builds their side up to the monster it is at the start while escaping Auotobot notice and he is THE ONLY Deception to successfully kill an Autobot in the entire show. He's confident, he's got no imminent threat or need to prove himself, and for once he does his job and ISN'T a total wimp. Then Megatron shows up and all that just goes out the window.

Man, Imma glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed Starscream acted scared and pathetic when Arcee wanted to fight him to make her think he was too much of a pussy to do it when he was just trying to get her to bend down so he can injure so he can use it as an advantage.

NO MATTER WHAT *STARSCREAM WILL ALWATS BE A FAN FAVORITE*

[@BREEZE_WRENAnimations]

3:54 I don't completely agree there is one situation that would never be able to mentally handle and the PERMENTLY losing his wings. The ability to fly is so important to StarScream, mostly cuase if you pay attention to how he acts in the sky compared to the ground he feels much more at home up there much more useful. For Primus sake he jumps from great highs on the regular just cuase why the all spark not, he can get hurt by falling cuase he can fly. If he were to suddenly lose that he would be mentally DESTROYED. But other wise I totally agree with this video. Good work showing us the best of our favorite Seeker. (Note that i seid PERMENTLY, loseing a t-cog can theoretically been repaired on his own)

Starscream being able to team up with humans, is exactly why I’m including him in my fan-made game, Kamen Rider War Robots.

Spite against the Universe is what sustains SS, Energon is just for flavor. He will work with anyone if it means he gets to live another day to spite the universe.

Tbh he’s my second favorite decepticon Knock-out is my fist favorite

You only need one: it's Starscream

[@justsomewritingfan2202]

Starscream is the only character in the franchise to be consistently awesome. Even the movie version is *comparetively* awesome. G1 awesome Beast Wars awesome Armada awesome Cybertron awesome Animated awesome Prime awesome RID awesome All I have'nt listed were seriously not as bad as they could have been or have only sucked because in what he appeared also sucked.

Energon Starscream was only one thing. *N-E-R-F-E-D!* And yes I 100% agree with your rankings.

The Bayverse Starscream is just as bad

[@justsomewritingfan2202]

@@fangirldreamer748 I Said comparetively. Every movie Decepticon is on a writing in level equally appauling garbage. However, unlike the other hundred "characters", he at least has a sliver of his original personality remaining, which makes him superior in my book. So consider my grade an F+ instead of an F

The Cybertronian Bear Grylls *Adapt. Overcome. Survive* This man is the goat. Incredibly crafty, creative, resilient, adaptable, agile, fast. He has my respect 👏👏🔥🔥

[@bumblebois798]

I like it when his wings flap when he's happy! :D

[@prideprime5767]

I'm here to just say that now Starscream is on my top 5 deceptions. Great video 👏

[@Pink7omy]

I love Michael Bay’s version of StarScream. He was the GOAT in the whole film! (Especially in the 1st film.) They need to continue making StarScream a badass that he REALLY IS. He is far from being a weak deceptacon. He is a THREAT

Kinda wish you brought up his arc in rid 2015 but I definitely love this list
