>>7037521>Megatron, the subtitles and Ironhide says his name in the movie while he's in the same scene.Yeah, but this guy's ragging on the other guy for not immediately recognizing Starscream before the scene where he gets namecalled. A Starscream that looks nothing like Starscream.
>Toys around the isle spells out his name.I said
>with no merch or behind-the-scenes knowledgebecause we're talking strictly about how recognizable movie Starscream was as Starscream in the first movie.
>A lack of G1 characteristics isn't always necessarily a negative. Not a positive either, just different.I agree, but I think a problem with Bay's stuff was that it used almost nothing from the namesake property, while taking much more inspiration from 80's scifi horror movies that had been borrowed from to death for the previous two decades. Someone tells you "They're making a Transformers movie" and you get excited, but then you actually watch it and it's nothing you loved about the franchise, padded out with a garbage, cliche script and US military masturbation.
And then it dragged on for ten years.
>>7037539Thundercracker, Skywarp, Jetfire. Could've used another random name like Blackout, Barricade, Bonecrusher, and '07 "Devastator" did.
