Screamy was a far better leader than Megatron for the Decepticons, and you know it.
>>150158232Starscream supremacy!
>>150158232>t. Starscream
>>150158232>Screamy was a far better leader than Megatron for the DecepticonsIn no continuity has this ever been true.
>>150158232i desire him carnally
>>150159145I never thought about Starscream sexually and never will. Now post Arachne so i can distract myself from this image.
>>150159534>i can distract myself from this image.Why ask for distraction if you never think of him in this manner?
>>150159729You can never be too sure of anything, so i need to kill any possibility of such thoughts.
>>150159918I think you're better off fleeing from this thread.
>>150158974Bullshit, even in this show Starscream comes up with all the ideas and plans and got closer to fulfilling the Decepticon goals than Megatron (who stood around waiting for his underlings to do something or whisper an idea into his head) and was way ahead of the curve. The wellbeing of the crew and morale waa also better, as he tried to be an actual leader as opposed to a mere boss who bosses bots around like Megatron was. This is likely in part because Megatron likely did suffer space madness in addition to an addiction to mind altering inhibitors.
>>150158701>t. Megatron
>>150159534no
>>150159145>>150159954>>150160219Why does this show attract so many American faggots and female secondaries who are only in it to project their fetishes onto it?
>>150158232You created this thread. Didn't you, Starscream?
>>150158232If he was the leader he couldn't try to become the leader. Fail
>>150160382>AmericanAnon...
>>150158974I don't in G1 he seemed to be smarter than Megatron, having to constantly warn Megatron that his plans were going to kill them all. Though I guess thanks to Galvatron we never really got to see Starscream's leadership to compare.
>>150160382It also has a large fujo fanbase in Japan.
>>150160382china also has an incredibly dedicated fanbase. look at this megatron/optimus fan event they had this summer in shanghai.
>>150162258apparently people rent out this wedding venue to host weddings for their ships.
>>150162310they had cutouts of megatron and optimus from pretty much every continuity
>>150162336they even had food there
>>150161001Starscream is often more wily, aware, or even flat-out more capable than Megatron across many incarnations, but he's rarely got the markings of a leader. I've always felt that it's always been a good mark of irony: Decepticon doctrine where he-who-wins-is-just means that Starscream getting the upper hand on Megatron and taking over is the realization of those ideals, but they would all fall apart if he did. They all ultimately still rely on Megatron and his vision in order to stick together, meaning the proper leader of the Decepticons embodies fewer of their actual ideals and instead is more like a twisted analogue to Prime.
>>150162258>>150162310>>150162336>>150162392I thought China is anti-gay? How can fans arrange events like these?
>>150162631well, it helps that they're not real and also gigantic cartoon robots. and most of the attendees are (presumably) straight women.i don't think the CCP regards fujoshig out over toy commercial media to be a threat to national security. apparently this venue is often rented out for fan events like these, but i could be mistaken.
>>150162761These fujos really go all out, my goodness. How much money does it cost to attend such events?
>>150162830i'm not sure. but it has been said that fujos and furries have similar income streams. either they're very bad at budgeting or they have insanely high-paying jobs and this is their creative/community outlet
>>150159145starussy
>>150158232i miss him everyday. what will take to make him at similar to this interaction again.
>>150163281Similar personality, role, design, Steve Blum?
>>150163237he's so cringe, so fail. i'd like to hold him in my hand
>>150163443starSISSY keeps losing all the way to the end of the TV movie...........
>>150163443>>150163512>gets MEGATRONNED>gets BUGGED>gets PREDAKINGED
oh yeah there's also getting KOed for being a meanie i guess
>>150163919For a bot named Starscream, he does get Knock Out quite a lot.
>>150163512>>150163542he can't stop losing. look at the fear in those eyes.surely he has to know how sexy he looks when he's at the mercy of others?
>>150163147thanks for posting the fujo photos, they were wonderful to look at
>>150158974He almost killed Optimus using the sun gun without trying. He was better and more resourceful than Megatron even if he himself is a bit of a wimp and sucked at fighting.
>>150162631the Ne Zha threads in /co/ get a lot of hate, but it has a massive fujo fandom that's pretty much impossible not to notice for anyone that has looked at the fandom. Material containing gay things can get censored when on tv or in film, but it seems they let the fujos slide
>>150163147>All women audiencesWtf? I was expecting it to be just a shitpost from transformers actual demographic.
>>150158232>loses an artifact>wakes up and loses an angry warrior from hibernation>fucks around with zombies>tries to kill a guy hooked up to a life support machineI mean Soundwave had his tentacles up his rear but come on
>>150162631It's OK when machines do it
starscream is having an excellent time in cyberworld
>>150165818So that's what that abbreviation refers to in that context. I saw a lot of Chinese artists using it and was always confused.
>>150165818Wait so CCP=Cute couple?
>>150158232why don't more Starscreams start his own faction to be a leader of?
>>150160382Transformers is one of the few popular and long-running sentient robot shows/franchises, and most of the characters are male, so a lot of straight female and gay male robot fetishists end up concentrated in one fanbase. (Judging from the art I've seen on this board, straight male robot fetishists go to My Life as a Teenage Robot instead.) From there, it's probably the same reason why the same thing, but with straight male fans, happens to every cartoon with at least one cute girl.
>>150166019there's something very peaceful about this image
>>150165814>even if he himself is a bit of a wimp and sucked at fightingHe went toe to toe with Megatron during the war in the booksI think he was just worn down by all the shitflinging and abuse later
>>150158232Why is he white?
>>150167305
>>150167305he lost his melanin in the war>>150165895i love that his little insignia is kind of busted. he had some tape, a can of spraypaint, and a dream
>>150158974he was doing a pretty good job in those tie in games for the bayformers movies. i liked that he was able to wrangle the cons in line by throwing them out into missions and then micromanage the fuck out of them by essentially loom over their shoulders and continually bark orders into their ears
>>150165625well at the very least he knows it's entertaining to megatron until he grew tired of itby mid season 3 he was just rolling his eyes whenever starscream started begging again lol
Reminder that Starscream can effectively oneshot most of the cast with his bare hands and his rockets but he forgets this
>>150168951wasn't starscream supposed to be killed off in season 2, but they kept him around because he was popular? and that's why he doesn't do much in season 3?
>>150158232Based
ALL HAIL STARSCREAM
>>150170151I CAN'T HEAR YOU
>>150171208ALL HAIL STARSCREAM
>>150169663that makes me wonder how things would have turned out if starscream died instead of dreadwing here
>>150171466ONE MORE TIME
>>150172217I always wondered what might have happened had Starscream defected properly or was captured by the Autobots. I mean why the hell did Bumblebee and Ratchet just let Starscream get away like that after his fight with Arcee? They should have immediately brought him back and had remobilized Optimus speak to him.
>>150173160ALL HAIL STARSCREAM
>>150173243i think it still might have ended with him taking the omega keys to megatron anywaydidn't seem like the whole be the leader of the decepticons goal left him since he immediately tried doing so at the end of the TV movie before getting PREDAKINGEDbut whatever that whole development point was handled all weird anyway
>>150173243i do like those "autobot starscream" fics and such, even if he can get pretty OOC in them.all of team prime seems to hold optimus in high regard, including ratchet, despite his frequent exasperation. it would've been interesting to see how starscream would have fit into team prime. would he have feigned subserviance and acted the sycophant to try and get on optimus's good side, or would he have been blatantly abrasive and uncaring towards optimus's status, since starscream would see himself as too valuable an informant to get rid of?
>>150165895This crown looked cooler
>>150174373>even if he can get pretty OOC in themFucking 90% of fanfictions in Prime specifically seem to be contaminated with fanon/OOC bulls hit more than others that I've seen for some reason but yeahAlso there was something along the lines called "treating tfp starscream right since the show wont do it" but it is 404'd so I don't remember what it wasRealistically I don't know if he could ever become a full-on Autobot though, even if Starscream knew of Optimus from before the war
>average megatron fan
average starscream enjoyer
>>150174747it would have to take a MONUMENTAL effort for both the autobots and starscream himself. in any continuity starscream is guaranteed a degree of...difficulty, integrating with other robots.if we utilize the TFA model of his personality, his main components are cowardice, sycophancy, egomania, and being a big fat liar. and being a competent female bot but that's besides the point TFP seems to prioritize himself over all others, as that is the way he has been conditioned to survive over the past X-million years. suck up to the most powerful thing and don't stick your neck out for anybody else.the autobots would have to reeeaaaallllyyy give him enough benefit of the doubt so he wouldn't feel like a prisoner/powerless, but keep enough of an eye on him to make sure he doesn't backstab them, which is a very real possibility. it would take a level of mistreatment from the decepticons so abhorrent, so intolerable, that staying with these hig-and-mighty goody-goody autobots would be preferable to him.i don't know how doable that is in Prime, but i think it could be pulled off in the future...
>>150174772>>150174824>mfw my boss and his gimp are fighting over who gets the last drop of energon coffee instead of telling our faggot medic to patch up the survivors from the last Autobot raid.
kind of a pity starscream was only this stylish during season 1 desu
>>150175935Kind of a pity only Season 1 was this stylish... outside of a few bottle episodes and the Orion Pax arc the rest of the show is very obviously cobbled together to meet deadlines
>>150176253i felt more tired of plot device hunting in prime compared to armada desu
