“Staaaaaaaaaaarscream!!!!”

I don’t know why, but I can hear Megatron shouting out that famous line at ear-piercing levels right now.

Lately I’ve been really addicted to Starscream. lol! What? Don’t look at me that way. It’s true. YES!! I’ve become a Starscream fangirl! I’ve fallen into his trap! What is it about this ornery robot?? Every Transformers fan that’s female LOVES Starscream. And the guy fans look at us like we’re nuts. At first I couldn’t see what was so special about him, but now….. I’ve fallen for him too. lol! There’s just something about him that’s addictive and it’s hard to explain. I can’t seem to get enough of him. My favorite version of him has to be the Transformers Animated one, followed closely by the original G1 version. I really like the Armada one too.

But the strange thing about it is Starscream seems like a character that would easily rub you the wrong way and get on your nerves, yet we love him to pieces. To sum up his character and personality: he acts like an overgrown spoilt brat who thinks he’s better than everyone else and should get everything he wants. He’s got a huge ego problem. If he can’t get his way, he’ll get it by any means necessary. It wouldn’t surprise me if he actually threw a tantrum in one episode. He’s a lying, traitorous, sneaky, greedy, rebellious, disobedient, mean Decepticon who’s starved for attention. He acts tough, but he’s a coward underneath. He hates Megatron’s insides to no end and wants to assassinate him and take over as leader. However, every time he attempts getting rid of Megatron it always backfires on him in some way. He tends to be one of those characters that has the hardest time doing anything and comes out looking like a fool and being more of a comedy relief. For some reason I think of Donald Duck’s theme song when I see Starscream, “Who gets stuck with all the bad luck?”. Haha!!

I dunno. I find him to be an interesting and fun character. You want to feel sorry for him and smother him in hugs and kisses and pamper him (at least us fangirls do), but at the same time you know that everything that happens to him is brought on him by himself. So when it all comes down to it, he always gets what he deserves. Although, I do feel so sorry for him. All he needs is a friend.

Yes, we all love the Screamer.
