Starscream (Michael Bay pentalogy)

"Truly the universe favors those who persist."

Starscream is a major Decepticon that occurred in the first three films. He was Megatron's 2nd-in-command until he died and was succeeded by Barricade.

He is voiced by Charlie Adler.

Why He Sucks

1. Like Megatron he has a stale and flat personality.
2. The Cybertronian language on his jet mode (F-22 Raptor) in Revenge of the Fallen was never explained.
3. His death by Sam Witwicky was unsatisfactory.
4. He was flanderized from being the silly comic relief of the Decepticons to being a huge murdering psychopath.
5. His design is indiscernible to the point that he is considered scrappy.
6. Like most Starscreams, he was a huge punching bag, making him a Butt-Monkey.

Redeeming Qualities

1. In the first Transformers movie, he had a more commander-worthy personality and was more competent than he is in the later 2 movies.
2. Charlie Adler does a good job voicing him.
