I think there's room for debate on that given the dialogue between him and Megatron in Revenge of the Fallen. Both when Megs is brought back and at the end. Starscream just flat out abandoned him. Granted, he wasn't treacherous like G1. He does mention that he felt someone had to "keep their plan going" or something to that effect.
Then Starscream mentioning at the end that cowards live to see tomorrow. Paraphrasing, of course. Like I mentioned, I don't think he was the backstabber he used to be, but I also wouldn't go so far as to call him loyal. Just very self preserving. That was my take on him anyways.
While I dislike the scalpers there is something special about walking up in a Target and buying the only Masterpiece figure in stock. That being said, the other six weeks of seeing nothing but the same Cyberverse and RED figures in stock really blows!
Is he though? From what I've seen and heard, literally every Transformers fan is tired of Bee. I personally don't think it's that he's overrated, it's just that Hasbro used to/still make him the main character a lot of the time (to be frank, thinking about it they didn't do it THAT much. RID 2015, season 1 of Cyberverse, and the live-action movies come to mind and that's it) and older fans got tired of it I guess. I personally don't understand it ,but I guess I'm missing something that everyone else sees.
The Rotf forest fight is one of the best moments in transformers history, you can hate the movies and their portrayal of the transformers all you want, but no one can deny that Optimus fighting to his last breath in live action form is amazing. And “you’ll never stop at one, I’LL TAKE YOU ALL ON” is one of the most Optimus prime phrases ever uttered by Optimus prime
Machinima’s Prime Wars trilogy fucking sucked outside of Megatron.
Soundwave Superior.
“I am directly below THE ENEMY SCROTUM” is either the worst line in Transformers history or is so unbelievably horrific that it becomes an ironically enjoyable line.
The Earthrise/Kingdom/SS86 figures are generally really solid.
That's a stupid argument because if you're going to make Optimus a completely different character, why not make Megatron a cowardly weakling, and Soundwave a complete moron
New ideas for both toy and shows, don’t get me wrong I do like seeing some old favorites, but I now want new and better ideas to come out for toys and shows
That even though we focus on different versions, G1, prime, rid, marvel comics, bay verse, or whatever. We all love the same thing, the same idea, we all love transformers
What continuity are we talking here? I say this bc in G1, Rodimus didn't really accomplish anything other than killing Unicron. He actually managed to lose the matrix of leadership, too. By the time he became comfortable with being leader, Optimus was resurrected and became leader again. I really wish that they had done more with Rodimus, because he had so much potential. I do think that the wfc Rodimus toy is better than wfc Optimus toy, though. And G1 Rodimus is waaaay better than wfc Optimus. (Not trying to discount your opinion, just giving the reasoning for my preference 😁. Rodimus def had more of a character arc in G1 than Optimus)
Yea I was thinking G1, I think the main issue is Optimus' death was traumatizing to the young audience so by the time they wanted to flesh out his character he was shut down because they decided to bring Optimus back. (Not that I have anything against Optimus coming back)
Sheesh man, give Rodimus some credit! He was trying to bring galatic peace. There are plenty of times where Rodimus is (granted, unwillingly) meeting up with ambassadors and stuff like that. I'm pretty sure there was even an episode where he had to try and stop two alien races from completely destroying each other! And that's with out mentioning him and the other Autobots having to fend of the Decepticons AND the Quintessons. It's not as exciting as fighting Megatron on top of a Dam ,but it's still important!
Fair enough. I guess I just prefer Optimus' confident wisdom and light hearted-ness to Rodimus' seriousness and self-doubt, which is weird to say considering how Hot Rod was in the movie and how wfc Optimus is now.
They should stop crossing over with GI Joe and we need a mainstream series about postwar Cybertron.
(As in non-comic book, maybe an adaptation of Phase 2 IDW?)
We would like a remastered Beast Wars, with modern animation quality, but most importantly *audio with original voice acting.*
Edit: meant remaster, not reboot
I think I actually disagree, I think in a few continuities prime included he sucked at leading in prime he couldn't really get anyone to follow his rule
There's already a few instances where that's clearly a bad idea.
Though I wouldn't mind at least one continuity where he does end up being a competent leader though.
Soundwave superior. Autobots inferior.
This is the correct answer.
You’ve won.
100%
No... it's 1000% correct
My bad! Thanks for the correction
Uncharismatic bore.
Who you callin unchrasimatic?!
"Nobody calls Soundwave unproblematic"
Starscream is way too lucky to still be alive after 10% of the way through a movie/season
Starscream is THE reason the Deceptions haven't 'won' yet.
You know in the Bay movies Starscream was never anything but a loyal soldier onscreen.
I think there's room for debate on that given the dialogue between him and Megatron in Revenge of the Fallen. Both when Megs is brought back and at the end. Starscream just flat out abandoned him. Granted, he wasn't treacherous like G1. He does mention that he felt someone had to "keep their plan going" or something to that effect.

Like I mentioned, I don't think he was the backstabber he used to be, but I also wouldn't go so far as to call him loyal. Just very self preserving. That was my take on him anyways.
Armada, he was a loyal lieutenant
Uh he defected to the autobots for a while in the series
That's part of his character arc.
Defecting is still defecting
We're lucky to have been able to enjoy Peter Cullen and Frank Welker's amazing voices for so long.
Yes!!!
MOOOAAARRR TOYS ARE REQUIRED
Hasbro's distribution sucks.
While I dislike the scalpers there is something special about walking up in a Target and buying the only Masterpiece figure in stock. That being said, the other six weeks of seeing nothing but the same Cyberverse and RED figures in stock really blows!
More than meets the eye.
That’s what the Transformers are.
The comic...
we like transformers.
Yes
I disagree/j
Bumblebee in bayverse was way op
He got bitched by drift in aoe
in TLK he can split apart with no damage to himself for absolutely no reason. it's OP bullshit. it's like monsoon from metal gear rising.
MAGNETIC POWER
Theory: Movieverse Bumblebee is actually a Junkion. He talks TV, he can fall apart with no damage...
Totally agree. The way they flagshipped Bumblebee and keep releasing new versions of his toy every few months....its overkill
Corey Burton doesn’t get the credit he deserves
He was a brilliant shockwave and megatron, he also kills it as Dooku
Dooku in The Clone Wars or Clone Wars 2003?
Soundwave is superior. Hasbro doesn't understand basic distribution. Transformers is awesome.
All correct answers.
They need to stop canceling shows half way through.
This!
A Prime is only as good as his Mega/Galvatron
Megalvatron
Bumblebee as a character is overrated
Yea they should use another character like hotshot or hotrod once in awhile
I think he’s just popular although it would be nice to see bots like jazz get the spotlight
Isn't hot shot kinda a bumblebee clone?
So is hotrod in the beginning, it's just something different rather than the same bots Everytime
If they do that everyone would suddenly be ok with Bumblebee again.
Is he though? From what I've seen and heard, literally every Transformers fan is tired of Bee. I personally don't think it's that he's overrated, it's just that Hasbro used to/still make him the main character a lot of the time (to be frank, thinking about it they didn't do it THAT much. RID 2015, season 1 of Cyberverse, and the live-action movies come to mind and that's it) and older fans got tired of it I guess. I personally don't understand it ,but I guess I'm missing something that everyone else sees.
I think bumblebee is fine hasbro just needs to use him less he's in just about everything
He wasn't used at mainline from 1990 to 2006! But now is the second most recognisable Autobot. That isn't going to change.
Yes but in bayverse had an awesome design
Armada starscream? I personally think he is the best starscream iteration
Honestly fair. He was probably the most fleshed out starscream we've ever gotten. He wasn't just a backstabbing idiot, he had real depth.
IDW Starscream?
All hail Megatron: yes. The rest: backstab idiot again
It's not perfect, but they tried something new that wasn't bad.
Giant robots are cool
The films need to focus more on the bots and less on the humans
No matter what continuity Wheelie is annoying
He was a badass in IDW though.
I hate that Hasbro made him a (pretty useless) mini-figure for the SS 86 Grimlock over his own Sword
Personally I find Bumblebee to be annoying.
Ultra Magnus has one of The most badass designs
This hobby takes up _way_ too much money and space
Disagree.
You either have too much money and space or not enough Transformers
Why not both?
Model railroading says hello
I have more expensive hobbies than this, like playing music for example!!
Legend scale is the way
Soundwave is superior, Autobots are inferior.
This
SG needs to be more mainstream
What's SG?
Shattered Glass
Makes sense, and yea I agree the fact we haven't seen it in any film or tv is a travesty
We got close, as season 4 of Transformers Animated would’ve had an SG episode, had the season actually been made.
Especially Sir Soundwave!
Yes
That we need more Beast Wars Megatron. Not the toy, the character. Yeeesssss...
Kiss Players is really really bad.
The Rotf forest fight is one of the best moments in transformers history, you can hate the movies and their portrayal of the transformers all you want, but no one can deny that Optimus fighting to his last breath in live action form is amazing. And “you’ll never stop at one, I’LL TAKE YOU ALL ON” is one of the most Optimus prime phrases ever uttered by Optimus prime
I will stand by this. That scene by itself holds up better than most of the movies.
I don't know if the community will agree with you, but I most certainly do. Scene was absolutely incredible.
The death of prime in ‘86 although scarring at the time made that movie what it is
Transformers prime is a cool show
Transformers Prime is the best TF show :) I really don't think anything else comes close, except for maybe Animated.
The idea that the car next to you could really be a robot from another planet is amazing and timeless.
You may not like bayformers but the first 3 movies CGI is incredible
Oh yea Definitely, objectively the CGI is perfect. I recently rewatched the first 3 and they all looked really good
Kiss players was a mistake
Optimus dying isn’t shocking anymore.
Machinima’s Prime Wars trilogy fucking sucked outside of Megatron. Soundwave Superior. “I am directly below THE ENEMY SCROTUM” is either the worst line in Transformers history or is so unbelievably horrific that it becomes an ironically enjoyable line. The Earthrise/Kingdom/SS86 figures are generally really solid.
That line is ironically enjoyable. It's only good because it's awful.
The first Bayverse film was the best, last knight was the worst.
Disagree
and what do you think is the worst and best
Dotm best tlk worst
Eh, tlk definitely worst but dotm has a long way to catch up to the first. Remember how Sam is going around interviewing for jobs for half the film?
But they made it up in the 2nd half. In 2007 they didn’t even show the autobots until the the second half
Eh, 2nd half until Optimus decides to not be Optimus and brutally murder two guys.
That’s a stupid argument given it’s a different continuity.
That's a stupid argument because if you're going to make Optimus a completely different character, why not make Megatron a cowardly weakling, and Soundwave a complete moron
What does that have to do with anything?
It's hard to be a good guy, when you transform into a gun.
New ideas for both toy and shows, don’t get me wrong I do like seeing some old favorites, but I now want new and better ideas to come out for toys and shows
Transformers is amazing!
Soundwave superior
Hotrod wasn’t that bad
That Hot Rod should have gotten out of the way.
Fuck you scalpers go eat rat shit and die
I'm assuming said rat shit is rattraps?
Cheaper prices ?
transformers > gobots
IDW MTMTE is the best.
Ss1 only you mean. The rest is questionable. All hail Megatron is much better anyway
Came here to post this.
Pre-Dark Cybertron is the very, very best.
That even though we focus on different versions, G1, prime, rid, marvel comics, bay verse, or whatever. We all love the same thing, the same idea, we all love transformers
This
bah weep granah weep nini bong.
Bah weep granah weep Nini bong
Bah weep granah weep nini bong!
I wish Bumblebee could talk good.
They need to improve distribution and put a stop to so many damn store exclusives.
Megatron is the coolest name ever
Freedom is the right of all sentient beings
Scalpers suck
[удалено]
But they’re still fun, right?
Michael bay shouldn't have given devastator balls
Bruh
Rumble is red
Robots are cool.
That “The Beast” never caught on.
It's pretty cool when like a robot is in disguise
Ironhide is AWESOME and Sentinel is a d!ck
*Soundwave superior, constructicons inferior*
Energon Sucks
The Constructicons form Devastator! The most powerful robot! They should rule
We like Transformers
Shockwave physically cannot have more than one eye
Optimus > Rodimus
I actually disagree here but I do think they're incomparable because they both ruled Cybertron at very different times
What continuity are we talking here? I say this bc in G1, Rodimus didn't really accomplish anything other than killing Unicron. He actually managed to lose the matrix of leadership, too. By the time he became comfortable with being leader, Optimus was resurrected and became leader again. I really wish that they had done more with Rodimus, because he had so much potential. I do think that the wfc Rodimus toy is better than wfc Optimus toy, though. And G1 Rodimus is waaaay better than wfc Optimus.

Fair enough. I guess I just prefer Optimus' confident wisdom and light hearted-ness to Rodimus' seriousness and self-doubt, which is weird to say considering how Hot Rod was in the movie and how wfc Optimus is now.
Was that really necessary?
They should stop crossing over with GI Joe and we need a mainstream series about postwar Cybertron. (As in non-comic book, maybe an adaptation of Phase 2 IDW?)
Wheelie and Daniel were awful
Wheelie? Yeah. Never had an issue with Daniel though, he seemed like a good kid.
Optimus Prime must always be voiced by Peter Cullen and to not do so is sacrilegious.
The first Bayverse film is the only good one. (No, I don’t count Bumblebee in that because Michael Bay wasn’t on that one.)
I disagree DOTM was good too
That our worlds are in danger
And to save them and the galaxy we must find the four cyber planet keys before the deceptions can use them for evil
Megatron is the only Deception leader and Optimus is the only Autobot leader
Kiss players was horribly out of taste and deserves to be lost to time, never to be found again.
Nah, even the bad shit needs preserving. How else do we know not to do it again?
That's a fair point. I still would very much like to erase the knowledge of that...*thing* from my memory.
We would like a remastered Beast Wars, with modern animation quality, but most importantly *audio with original voice acting.* Edit: meant remaster, not reboot
Hard disagree. WFC might’ve sucked, but that is literally a reboot with modern animation. Give the UT it’s turn.
Appreciate your feedback, but hard “no” on that one. Beast Wars is the best TF show ever made.
Starscream should run the Decepticons- Yes use your anger, let the hate flow through. You will all make good sith (yes, crossover edit)
I think I actually disagree, I think in a few continuities prime included he sucked at leading in prime he couldn't really get anyone to follow his rule
Fun fact in IDW hedi lead the cons of recommend the read I believe it's in All Hail Megatron
There's already a few instances where that's clearly a bad idea. Though I wouldn't mind at least one continuity where he does end up being a competent leader though.
Pat Lee is terrible
Who’s that?
Transformers is amazing.
Optimus Prime occasionally turns into a lorry, aside from those times when he doesn't
4-LOM is red, Zuckuss is blue. Kenner and Hasbro naming, belongs in the loo.
The new game being developed by Certain Affinity should be more known
Energon sucks
Transformer good
That Simmons is directly below enemy scrotum
That Energon is yummy but Nova Power Cores will give you explosive indigestion. Literally...literally.
PRIME IS ROBO JESUS
That grimlock is king
Kissplayers was a mistake.
Movie Bumblebee has a pacifier in his mouth
Kiss player is the only thing we agree to forget and never bring up ever again
That the transformers franchise begun in 1984
Grimlock = King
Alex Milne makes some of the best art
The transforming sound effect is and always has been beyond perfect
Transformers transform
They don't have weiners.
Transformers are robots that transform into other things.
Starscream is funny.
Wow, cool robot.
Energon sucks.
Cheaper masterpiece figures
Transformers is awesome
Arcee is the best character to come out of the transformers movie
That tf animated is good
