Notes
- Adler's portrayals of Starscream in the film versus the video game versions of Revenge of the Fallen are vastly different. While in the film Starscream's voice is neurotic and whiny, the video game voice is dark and sinister, magnified greatly by some crazy heavy electronic amplification that pushes Adler's voice to the point of being virtually unrecognizable. To draw a more direct comparison, his voice in the game sounds more like the movie version of Megatron than Frank Welker does! Strangely enough, they seem to have kept his "normal" Starscream voice for phrases spoken by the G1 incarnation of the character during multiplayer.
- In regards to Starscream's legacy left behind by the late Chris Latta, Adler admitted that he didn't know about it until much later during the Revenge of the Fallen DVD/Blu-Ray release press junket, other than to try to honor the writing and the portrayal. While Adler felt that he might not have given the homage that was expected of Starscream, he felt that fully imitating Latta would've done more harm than good. [1]
