Starscream?

So-called "artist's impression" over at the Don Murphy forum.

oh gawd that is ****in HIDDEOUS.

[ShadowBoxing]

It actually reminds me a ton of TFTM: Scourge, the one I posted (who is among my all time favorite characters). However if they gave him a normal head that design would rock...I mean he is f---ing scary, and he looks like a threatening menacing character as well.

[ShadowBoxing]

Here what about this

[Crimson Dynamo]

Question:

If you were a member of an evil race of alien robots crash landed on earth, and you wanted to cause some chaos, destruction and war-mongering, would you adopt the shape and form of the native beings of that planet?

I personally would take on a form that was menacing, one that would strike fear into the puny humans. Something monstrous and evil, but would still enable me to be able to adapt to the Earth's varied environment and gravity.

This design certainly fits that description.

If by bad ass you just mean ass then yes. I agree.
It looks like a gorilla FSS. And i cant see how that thing would transform into a jet. And heres me thinking they are going more realistic? Doh!


Anyone, its not real. Murphy dismissed it as fan art and even told us to "chill with this ****".

I don't think this would ever actually be Starscream...heh...
I know it's been said it's fake, and I'm frankly happy.

[CFlash]

Venom4life's post... Disco Starscream.
The 70's disco influence in his colors and garnishes is obvious (arrows in his boots, disco bulbs in the jet intakes on the side of his face).

And of course, the pose.

Not keen on that look at all,i doubt they will go for the more colourful Starscream posted earlier but i could see this being used

I agree...

I believe Starscream will be mostly grey or silver or silver-blue with darker blue accents on his robot parts. Maybe just a few small bits of red here and there for recognition purposes (such as around his neck or arms).

That would fit in with him being the Stealth plane they are using,the red parts could be infrared controls from the cockpit

[DorkyFresh]

well...they DID say the robots would look clunkier and more rigid than we're used to...

...if they made it a bit more streamlined (give him a better head) then i think it might actually end up looking cool.

[Arcturus]

Well, I just posted G1 Starscream art that appeared on the box which contained the action figure of Starscream from back in the day from 1984 I believe.

I think he was posting that for the sake of Starscream's body design...not the colors and pose.

WalkingDead, that is the exact reason I posted it. Thanks for seeing that, as well. :)

Regardless;

I wouldn't use that Starscream, less colors would be a good thing. If you ask me, i'd rather him just be the color of the jet form he uses, for the movie. Was it an f-22 raptor?

However, I dig this version;

I do not agree... come on... if a large plane landed in front of you, then transformed into a huge robot with guns from his arms and pointed them right at you, dont you think that is menacing enough?

I hope that they do not screw with the characters looks too much. I want to see them portrayed as close to the original as possible. Already upset that Bumblebee is going to be a Camaro... dam them!

[ComicKoryn]

Ok, now I'm not one to pick apart things, but they really need to stick to the basic Transformers design...otherwise it's not really Transformers at all. That's one thing I would be kinda upset about, if they went for a very bio organic look like in those pictures....no sir. It just wouldn't be transformers, it would be "transforming robots," the motion picture. Please let it not be anything even close to this in the final product.

NO! stick to the normal one!! looks like a beastie!

[C_T]

I just wanna say that I've been a Transformer junkie since...well, since they first came out. I say the following with the upmost sincerity and respect for the franchise:

That concept looks absolutely atrocious. As a matter of fact, this whole movie is starting to sound atrocious. Is this a bad joke? We are not getting THE TRANSFORMERS. We are getting robots that can transform.

I know it's still early in the game, but c'mon. So far we have no talking Bumblebee? Not only does he not talk , but he's a 2008 Camaro? WTF. Couldn't come up with a modern small car that would better suit Bumblebee.

A 4 foot soundwave? Megatron, a Cybertronian jet? Screen time and dialogue for transformers = minimal? Humans seem to be the major role players in the movie. The title of the movie is THE TRANSFORMERS, right? And now this artist's impression.

I guess to Dreamworks, Bay and company THE TRANSFORMERS means they can transform this franchise into a pile of turd. So far that's what it sounds like. The road ahead does not seem bright.

I hope for the best, but I most certaintly expect the worst. :(

I wholeheartedly concur. I'm not a "die hard" fan nor do I think this need be an EXACT replica of the original. But sooooo many changes just seem NEEDLESS.... but the creators seem to be able to justify every single change. Tim Burton (and Nolan for that matter) could have EASILY said for Batman, "look, an afterburner on a car is just corny. I'm not doing it." But, no, they did it and they made believable and cool.

Reimaginer: VW didn't give the go ahead.
Faithful: But then why not a mini-cooper or some other small sporty car?
Reimaginer: Camaro is cooler.
Faithful:: But Bumblebee was the slowest Autobot... the little-bot-that could. This was part of the story. His whole reason for existing in the lore.
Reimaginer: This is a new cooler Transformers.
Faithful: Sigh.

Reimaginer: Flat nose trucks are outdated... this ain't the 70's.
Faithful: Really? How about this: http://www.freightlinertrucks.com/trucks/find-by-model/Argosy/ sounds pretty modern to me. And besides even if they're not that common in the USA anymore, aren't they ubiquitous in Europe and other population dense areas?
Reimaginer: This is a new cooler Transformers.

Same goes for the idiotic "Quest for the Artifact" plot rather than the topical environmental and energy-crisis issue laden original plot... you know times are tough when a cartoon from 1984 has a more INTELLIGENT plot than a movie in 2006.

I won't even get into them being nanobots that can choose their alt-modes and other retarded stuff like that.

It's like the writers got together and said "just how much of this crap cartoon can we change and still call it Transformers." The Answer is apparently EVERYTHING, but their names.

[ComicKoryn]

I'm gonna have to agree with you on some of that CFlash. As much as I was fine with the vehicles changing from what they were in the original cartoons to entirely different vehicles, the idea that they're going to change the design of the robots is just....cringe worthy.

I really hope the Transformers look nothing like this, otherwise we'll just be getting "Beast Machines" the movie.

I don't see why someone would feel any different about this than any other of the gazillion changes being made. Why is changing their robotic appearance any different than TOTALLY changing their Vehicle appearance??? I mean, isn't a Transformer's alt-mode a reflection of their personality or abilities... if you can make Bumblebee a Camaro (a far-out polar opposite to his original incarnation).... why not this???

What's the big deal?

P.S.
I just walked by a parked shiny new Beetle and I just had a sunken feeling in my heart. What was funny is that there was a sporty hatchback (Scion I think) right in front of it. And across the street there was a mini-cooper. Maybe its because I live in NYC... but I didn't see a single hot-rod in my 15 block walk (save for maybe an old Saturn SC... which isn't really a hot-rod). Michael Bay needs to leave California for a minute and check out the rest of the world.

[GhostPoet]

There's only two things in this movie I care about. Ok, three.

1) They have to have the same deep relationships amongst each other. Not just big robots...but have human characteristics like the show. It shouldn't be about the humans as much as it should be about the Autobots and the Decepticons and their personalities towards each other.

2) The voices needed to sound at least close to the same.

3) They need to look SIMILAR to their cartoon counterparts.

If they follow those rules...i'm totally fine with anything else.

[Houdini]

It would be better if his torso was smaller. He would look a lot more agile, but it looks way to big.

I think lots of people would agree with you.

I would add just one thing: the transformation sound in one form or another (modernized but still familiar). I don't think this is small. This is a major nostalgic trigger for lots of people.

[ayenlou]

Do you guys expect Michael Bay and team to make it EXACTLY like the original transformers? I mean If you were to consider an actual realistic transformer robot would you expect it to be so blocky? I think the new bumblebee is fine. But I do hope that they carry the same elements from the old transformers. And I can't see any old elements from this starscream

[nosebleed.]

I wish they would use the Masterpiece Starscream design but I'll accept something more visionary from Bay.

According to one script review Brawl had the most lines (5). Unless Megatron overtook him during his appearance near the end, but he didn't have much to say either (apparently).

Starscream had two lines.

These reviews are from the February version of course.

I hope that's not true. And if it is, I hope that's going to change. I want to have a lot of Autobot and Decepticon conversations. Not just 1 line, destroy and then disappear.

This makes me already hate every single human in the Movie.

[Spark]

Funny. I kinda feel that way myself. Typically I could go either way during a Decepticon/human battle but I'll now be hoping for a high bodycount. If the TFs can't talk then the least they can do is pulverise Tyrese.

[Nathan]

Oh yeah, I hope we see Starscream standing over Tyrese, pointing his laser cannon at him and saying "You talk too much." And then he pulls the trigger.

[xwolverine2]

tyrese shouldnt deserve the honor of being shot.........he should be stepped on!!

If that's true, then having Decepticons who rarely speak doesn't seem too bad anymore.

In any case, If they are not using the current voice actors of the show, I hope they get someone who sounds similar enough. Just don't get one who sounds like the G1 Starscream, because I loathe that version.

Nathan:

I know everyone has their own opinion but the pics you posted is not 'G1'Megatron. Bay said hmslef that this movie is based on G1 charcater, ppl seem to be forgetting that.He should look like this:
http://cs.georgefox.edu/~aliljen/transformers/images/megatron.gif

...he doesn't have to be a gun but anything that strays too far from his G1 design in 'color or his traditional head design' is Megatron in name only. Bay promised us that thaey are base off of G1 yet he seems to be breaking his promises as thing go along.....

[WalkingDead]

Bay promised us that thaey are base off of G1 yet he seems to be breaking his promises as thing go along.....

Bay never actually promised G1. He and Don Murphy said that they'd take elements from G1, and Don Murphy said he wanted to know what G1 fans wanted and that he'd try to put in many things the G1'ers would like if he could.
