[@foooof7847]

@@dahoomancentipee9461​​⁠This is something I’ve noticed in quite a few of the Transformers shows. Throughout the entirety of the shows, Soundwave just does his job. He’s focused on what needs to be done, says what needs to be said and sends his minions to do small tasks. He’s overall pretty serious all the time. But there’s always at least one moment where he lets loose a tiny bit or does something that seems abnormal for someone like him to do. Like in Transformers: Prime, he’s silent through the whole show. He’s always working or on some sort of mission whenever he gets screen time. There’s only one moment in the entire show where he lets loose. This is when he gets captured by the Autobots. He remixes Optimus’s voice, blasts loud noises and proclaims his superiority. Even the Michael Bay movies do this. Throughout all his appearances in the second and third movie, only once does he show that he’s having a good time during the failed execution scene (R.I.P. Soundwave).

I started really liking Starscream after being assigned to play as him in an RPG. Getting into his mindset and experiences were mindblowing, he's a clever existentialist-opportunist to whom traditional heroism just means getting killed - after all, he's not a goliath who can take hits.

[@kittensoundwave3480]

He's a scientist, not a warrior. Megatron is basically a gladiator, and in some universes he even was one. Starscream wasn't always like this, per say. He used to work very closely with Skyfire, after all. And deep down, he does still consider him an old friend of his. Starscream is fragile, being the seeker that he is. Most of the jets are pretty fragile, but Starscream is also a good mate to his trine. The others he flies in formation with are Skywarp and Thundercracker, and they take care of their own. After most battles you can see them in the background as Megatron vents and they're fixing each other's wings or arms and such. Starscream also doesn't have weapons. He has null rays, which function the same as an EMP basically. They stop electronics and... Nullify you lol. Very useful in a lab setting but not the best in a field. You can easily tell he wasn't made for battle. Just from the way he carries himself too. Starscream is very opportunistic, egotistical, and scientifically far more intelligent than any of the other Decepticons, save for maybe Shockwave. Not constructively of course, but he has the big brains. Only problem, is it's only scientific. His field knowledge is remarkably limited and his tactical knowledge even less so. The difference between him and Megaton not only is the field experience and basic programming, but the fact Megatron is able to tactically plan attacks and prolong things if it means it'll better their cause in the longrun. Starscream jumps on literally every opportunity, but if it's a sciency scenario (such as when he tests energon for stability) then he does take a little time. He enjoys running tests and proving himself right. Megatron keeps him as his second in command not only for his amusement, but because he knows his replacement would likely be more competent in what Starscream could not do; overthrow him. I love Starscream as they added some serious depth to him. I also like Soundwave because of just the stark contrast of their personalities. Soundwave always was cool to me, I love his concept as a whole. Tapedeck and cassettes. I commend you on being able to play his role, it's always fun to get in touch with such iconic and quirky characters. I believe Starscream's betrayals stem from him just wanting others to appreciate him and the work he does. Everyone should take his orders and follow him so he can advance his goals. It really got to his head to the point he literally made himself a cape and crown to symbolize his "coronation". I'm just sad it was ended so soon. I understand the creators thought the kids would love it because it was like getting rid of the old toys for the line of new ones they wanted people to love too. But it just hit different because they made them *alive*. And the creators did admit they felt a little bad after the backlash from angry parents saying this made them and their kids cry, but hey. Can't win em all. They brought him back as a ghost, they have plenty of comics, and I never threw my old toys out so to me he was always somewhere at least. Props to good characters that are remembered for years. Thanks for keeping the legacy alive and if you read all this that's cool too Long story short, I like old Screamer too bro have a nice day 🖖

@@kittensoundwave3480 That's a great analysis, I've never actually looked into him that much or thought of him that way. It's not that I didn't know he was a scientist- I actually liked that part of him, especially during the introduction of Skyfire, I liked them as friends- but I've always thought he's gotten rid of those days of research, well, I was always shocked, I'd be surprised that he anylized a thing and was concerned about some stuff, but not to that sciency extent, I just thought it was a useful quirk back from his old career. I also thought that he constantly screams (he rarely talks normally in my opinion) about and tries to overthrow Megatron because he lusts for more status as being a second-in-command is not enough for him. I've never seen him having the sciency personality and just seen him as this; a whiny, failure, clumsy, funny, desperate and an idiotic Decepticon. Not one transformer have I thought to match his personality. As how Megatron is amused by his every downfall, so am I. I've never thought of him as cool, I mean, he has his own definetion of cool. Cool like Soundwave (I must admit, I agree on you with Soundwave, I liked him more for his cool voice, the other things I liked him for are his loyalty, concept of having minions and transforming into a tape recorder because everyone else was tactical vehichles, and intelligence), of course, Starscream doesn't have most of those traits but he's still cool, just not in a memorable way because he ends up helping the Autobots more than the Decepticons. Well, after thinking about it for a while I guess he isn't that cool after all, he isn't caring about his comrades, only when he's in trouble, and he isn't tactical like you said. I guess he's only cool because of his personality and for being smart, and I never thought he was smart until I read this! Your analysis is amazing in my opinion, either that or I'm an idiot for not noticing this deeper personality of Starscream. And also one last thing before I go, I've always thought that Starscream was always capable of fighting, seeing his spirit of screaming. He's always finding an oppurtunity to gun down any Autobot- even though that's a duty of a Decepticon, he's a little too sadistic when it comes to ideas and he doesn't think things through so he fails in the end. But as you said, he wasn't fit to be a soldier. It also leads me to, Desertion of the Dinobots Pt. 2. Swoop, Spike and Carly found this short documentary about the war between Decepticons and Autobots, a key sentence I noticed was that, not any Cybertronian was fit for battle, so they had to modify their transformations into something warfare-like and tactical. It just raises my curiousity about somethings but maybe, there's a reason for it and I'm just stupid. Again, this is dumbfounding, thanks for the elaboration, have a great rest if your day great person on the internet!
