I think another thing I like about starscream, yet hate that the fandom fails to acknowledge about starscream is that, a lot of his rotten personality and his nastiness comes from way before he meets megatron and way before he was a deception.

That’s not to say that a lot of the ways he acts doesn't mirror megatron and the mistreatment he went through. and that impacts how starscream heals, makes friends, etc., idw - like what megatron did still badly affects him and that's not something to be ignored, and it's still not fair that he doesn't get the same happiness megatron did.

But, I think that people do tend to act as if Starscream was perfect and uncorrupt before Megatron.

That's not true...starscream was also a rotten, manipulative and bad person before that. and a lot of that was in response to how he was treated and hating his own body/existence, and the caste system, etc. We see how a lot of people in transformers react to oppression and I think starscream is such an interesting case of someone who is so angry and furious at the system he was created in that he takes it out on others yet still fights for himself and only himself. It is sad, and it’s awful to see how his own existence and the caste system does destroy him, but I think its important to note and to understand to just see how oppressed people still have to fight through their own oppression and sometimes, because of that, because of the trauma they go through, turn rotten. And Starscream did terrible, sneaky, and awful things. He did shitty things to climb to the top and he hurt those around him, he hurt people he trusted him, and he was happy to be that way. No one made him evil, manipulative, or untrustworthy, he did that on his own.

I don’t like that a lot of the fandom tends to tie Starsream’s negative and problematic behavior and personality to megatron because it also takes away from a lot of growth, agency and discussion about starscream’s personality and why he is the way he is.

He wasn’t a perfect, innocent and shy person before he met megatron, or before he became a deception. He still did awful things and while becoming a deception was a way he could grow past the system that created him, he still did very much do so for power. Starscream was an ambitious yet a morally ambiguous person before megatron and he had to be to survive in his own mind. His life wasn’t perfect and happy before megatron, he was still fighting and he was still scheming to survive.

I really don’t like how people kind of take that away from him, and act like everything he does and every shitty way he acts is *because* of megatron. I know it’s not fun to have to admit that he wasn’t a good person before megatron met him, but I think it’s necessary to understand his character, and not a lot of people do. And when you don’t do that, you have people misinterpreting his character and being genuinely shocked when he does villainous things. Like for instance, sky bound starscream’s actions shock a lot of people because they don’t think that he is a villain - I remember a lot of ES critique is that earthspark starscream doesn’t need a redemption act- he just needs people to love and accept him. And I think you guys forgot that he was also a space fascist and enjoyed killing people on his own accord. And while megatron himself does impact how starscream acts and treats others - starscream still was an extremely problematic person eons before he met megatron.

I don’t think this negates just how badly Megatron’s treatment fucked him up, and made it so that it was difficult for him to form relationships even after, or find happiness. And I think that’s just something that cannot be ignored. But I also think starscream is more interesting as a character if the fandom acknowledged that he was this way before, that he wasn’t perfect or innocent, and that he reacted that way because he was unhappy with is life, his station, his caste, etc.

this also isn't a chance to come and try to excuse how megatron treated him, so pls don't do that on here.

#i remember looking at an earthspark video and it's like 'starscream does bad things but none of it is his fault because of meg-' #and im like 'nooooo' #it's okay for people to acknolwedge that he was 'bad' to begin with #i don't know how we as a fandom got to the point where they convinced themselves he wasn't a villain #and when you tie EVERYTHING he does to his time with megs #then you invalidate him #he is more than than his relationship with megs (also not saying his name bcos i don't want it to end up in his tag) #like it makes me so upset when fans tie everything he does to him #and it's like they are afraid to admit that he is evil and highly problematic #and in many ways just like megs BEFORE he met him #because you guys again - think a victim can only be one way #it's insulting #starscream #transformers #also sorry for the slurry of unpopular starscream opinions #i just hate how i feel that his character is only allowed to be seen s *one* way

be my bad boy be my man

#quick sketches because im stressed out rn i got finals next week and i didnt know LOOL #also this might be my favorite starscream design ever. for some reason. i dont know i just really like the guy #transformers animated #starscream #tfa #my art #doodles

[koumori-1999]

the ambiguously gay duo KO and star :)

i couldn't resist giving them outfits that aren't practical. their asses are not properly dressed for their jobs!!

#i feel like i made star look too cool but i think it works because this design will make his goofy side become more apparent imo #also im a firm believer that star can be cool. its just that his dynamic with megatron isnt doing any favors to his reputation #knockout #starscream #tfp #transformers prime #gijinka #humanformers #my art #fanart #quise hacer a KO lo mas gay posible pero creo que me pasé (?)

There's a raging fire in my heart tonight Growin' higher and higher in my soul! There's a raging fire in the sky tonight I wanna ride on the silver dove far until the night.

I have had this concept cover art for quite a while... was for a comic idea showing Starscream alongside Predaking having an aerial race, an excuse to draw more backgrounds, and especially cloudy vistas.

Never got past this stage but I hope when I get my creative energies back (I'm only using them for a commission I need to finish right now) to find myself tackling this idea again!

#myart #transformers fanart #maccadam #tfp predaking #tfp starscream #predastar #shipping to the moon and back #the other reason why i didnt do more is because im still in need to learn to draw Screamers alt mode in different angles KJSDHFDHF #THAT AND WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT THE MESS THATS PREDAKING DESIGN at least is a bit more easy when in dragon mode #because in robot mode always leaves me with a figurative headache #i love them so much but WHY NEED TO BE SO HARD TO DRAW ksfjhsdjfhds #sobs in a corner full of shippy projects #sorry for the dull color i didnt know what color filter to put on it #and yes: i was listening to Top Gun Soundtrack lol #ifellinrobothellagain #windydrawallday fanart #king n commander

I love starbee and vampires btw (dump)

I really wanted to draw star with a full fanged mouf cause I thought it would look cool and I have been obsessed with vampires lately because of that one scene in carmilla where the girlies have a bloody smooch fest.

What if the vampire you’re meant to kill is reeaaally pretty and wants to take a big ol’ chomp out of you??? What then???? I need to draw bee steaking star in the spark now lol. Starscream is just too hungry 😔

Some sillies. I saw this meme and knew what I had to do.

I took starbee with me on a train but the train I wanted to go on was eeping but it was still fun because trains are awesome

Photo credit to @leefyberrybread because my dumbass was too busy taking a video to get good photos 💀

#Jesus Christ the second image looks so compressed on mobile #vampire brainrot has taken over… #people joke that I’m a vampire actually because I’m allergic to garlic and have a awful sleep schedule and I’m goth #im also allergic to the sun #anyway love trains and starbee #i want to draw more starbee enemies arc #ok I need to sleep because my head hurts from blasting loud music in my ears for three hours on full volume on my comp #yes it was worth it it fixed all my problems #transformers #maccadam #starscream #bumblebee #starbee #tfe bumblebee #tfe starscream #soundwave #earthspark #hanaes scrapheap

ive been working on this for like. a couple weeks. i got the heights from the allspark almanac 2. generally arranged in height order but kibble and helmet bullshit make it kind of hard to tell. the line is based on op's back heel since he's used as the reference

some direct comparisons i know everyone's interested in plus a couple that interest ME specifically. any other comparisons u want shoot me an ask

screenshot of the original page w the charts i used

also please dont comment any like. height difference/size kink whatever in the tags or replies

BC SHES A CLONE. #also red alert and elita are both taller than i expected i was worried like every autobot girl was short as fuck. no arcee is just tiny #as for actual height in numbers well. ive seen some stuff that says animated op is the same height as g1 op #so do with that as you wish #tfa

not usually a fan of human redesigns but this was fun

#transformers #transformers: prime #starscream #knock out #knockscream #koss #yes starscream looks like an anime protagonist #but its only because you CANNOT convince me he isn’t fancy emo/goth #they still aliens :) just taking cheesy overdramatic human form #i love the idea that star was prince of vos before the war #so he gets pretty jewelry and one fang. as a treat #ko looks like riker i’m cracking up #i gave him the stark goatee first but that looked. uh. bad #im rlly happy with how this turned out. i havent used halftone in a piece before

I love Attila, I really do.. but I just can't put it behind me that he shares a voice actor with Transformers Prime Starscream.

#atilla tangled #tangled #tangled the series #rapunzles tangled adventure #tts attila #tfp starscream #prime starscream #transformers prime starscream #hot take:i dont like TFP Starscream i love his voice but that is where i draw the line #the fandom overglorifies and Babies Him and i hate that #i love every other version of Screamer except Prime #of course i rank Starscreams by how successful or almost Successful they were+their reactions to Trauma by Megatron #this is why my Top Starscreams are Cyberverse Earthspark and Armada #while on the topic of Megs Though #if i like him depends on the show #but most of the time im actually fairly nice to Megatron because i guess i feel like hes a troubled individual #he has his own problems #though if he potrays them right is another discussion #Attilas cute

[slowdrippingnoise]

thinking of ways to fix my problems with earthspark's starscream lore cul-de-sac situation. next season hashtag gets to Remember The Plot Point and actually distrusts megatron because of it (shades of teen rebellion + "he just like me fr" attachment to stsc) which puts her in big conflict with twitch (idolizes megs, imiates him as "leader of the pack", he shows her favoritism in particular. little bird ^^) they have more and more little conflicts leading up to a Big Actual Sibling Argument episode a/b plot- with both of them putting together arguments for why their favorite uncle that they use to prop up their own confidence (#: "im not a bad kid" realest starscream girlie)/(twitch: i can protect my whole family im strong im stable i can do this i have to) has Done Nothing Wrong Ever (fueled by the fact that it's more about their own senses of self, they're kids they need role models) meanwhile megs and stsc are on the sidelines watching this fight go down like coaches at a boxing match. it takes them way longer than it should to act like responsible adults and break up the fight because, besides stsc already just being thrilled to have Anybody in his corner, megs keeps giving him the I Will Murder You eyes from across the scene and that sets him back to thinking this is all hilarious every time he notices it. punchline: they have to step in though after a while because hearing their respective kiddos' most godawful blorbo takes known to mankind makes them cringe too much to let it continue. no little buddy thats not how that happened- no- no that very much was my fault- ok how about we all go cool down for a while how about we go pet fluffyears wouldnt you rather do that- ends as a lesson in maturity for both the siblings and mg&ss (doesn't necessarily mean the latter must be forced to be around each other in future, but at least chills megs out a bit + gives stsc more room to develop) / further examination of the different character groups' personal perspectives on the war / kind of mk2 of thrash's 'con phase from s1 i like hashtag so much. my daughter

#transformers earthspark #uhh #hashtag #starscream #because i like them #this is copied directly from my hasty personal notes just now #also i havent watched tfes in a bit so forgive me for anything im definitely forgetting/misremembering #i want Conflict! i want Lore! i want Jokes! #this is kind of the lightest version of a resolution i can think of here. please understand this is not Megs Apologism by any means lmao #i have Many thoughts but its tricky to work ideas around existing plot and tone yknow #the other sadder version i think ive already talked about is hashtag beginning to mistrust dot as well #which i dont think will happen #but anyway
