Talk:Starscream (WFC)

The soldiers on Starscream's station were all Autobots. One would assume "Autobot" to be the default faction of all Transformers prior to Megatron's rebellion. Additionally, Jetfire names Starscream and his goons as "traitors" and that the {Autobot leader} Zeta Prime would hear of this betrayal. Wouldn't that make Starscream, Thundercracker and Skywarp Autobots originally? --FFN 04:46, 3 July 2010 (EDT)

The description for the achievement on that level (the one where you have to kill all but one prisoner) refers to the prisoners as neutrals. Plus, their funky Tron lines are yellow, while Autobots are red and Decepticons are purple. -- Semysane 05:48, 3 July 2010 (EDT)

Ahh, I didn't note the yellow lights. My mistake. --FFN 10:57, 3 July 2010 (EDT)

It might still be worth noting on the Neutral page. -- Semysane 16:24, 3 July 2010 (EDT)

Part of the Ambush/Bodyguard?

Reading back through Exodus: Starscream was not really a part of the attack on the Casino, as he's surprised and puzzled by some of what's happening, though he clearly knewn something was up, with a planned meeting with Megatron after he has secured the old Prime somewhere "safe". Basically, like in much of the book, he's skirting the line, leaving his options open to join either side. My question though, it seems a bit like he might have been there "officially" to guard the Prime. Like a lot in Exodus it's a bit vague though. Did anyone else get the vibe that he was specifically there with Sentinel as a bodyguard? (At least from Sentinel's point of view). --ZacWilliam 19:43, 19 July 2010 (EDT)

I definitely got the impression he was there to guard Sentinel Prime. Why else would the Prime have gone with him?--Rosicrucian^Talk 19:49, 19 July 2010 (EDT)

Pretty much answered iself later in the chapter. Starscream was definately there as sentinel's bodyguard, and apparently had worked as such for a good while before. We need to add that to the article.--ZacWilliam 19:52, 19 July 2010 (EDT)

I have done it, but like all the Decepticons' motives in Exodus it is meant to be ambigious because these are inherently untrustworthy characters. Starscream may well have been aware of the attack and used it as the opportunity to deliver Sentinel to Kaon, with Sentinel's cowardice at Altihex only reinforcing his motive.

Michael Jackson

For anyone who's looked at the Amazon preview of the Prime comic, it appears just as Dark Energon turned Megatron into a Wraith, Starscream has turned into Michael Jackson. We need to have every caption of him in the show to tribute Wacko Jacko in some way. Alientraveller 07:03, 7 September 2010 (EDT)

Starscream Picture

Contradiction

Isn't it easily resolved as "He was a scientist, but isn't now"?12.53.10.226 08:51, 29 November 2010 (EST)

The passage implied Starscream and Megatron had no scientific experience to understand that Dark Energon could be made by infecting regular Energon. Starscream seems like a scientist in Prime so hopefully the contradiction will be put to bed soon. Alientraveller 09:55, 29 November 2010 (EST)

That doesn't "put to bed" the contradictions present within the Exodus novel itself, which is what that note is about. --Detour 09:59, 29 November 2010 (EST)
