Honestly, i love the Transformers Cybertron version was my childhood starscream


Avaoln

Mine as well, and he is arguably the most powerful and threatening version of the character :) I enjoy him so much! *Vortex Blade!*


Johnreel24

Was about to say even if you didnt watch the show. He has a powerful looking design.


sanglesort

same here; the way that he actually got up to some shit, and actually became a threat too the man fought God


ThatUploader202

Favorite-Wise, It's probably either Armada or Animated. Loved Armada's Jet Mode and his Wing Sword and my overall love for DJW's artstyle just makes Animated Starscream appeal to me. Part of it is also because of my attachment to said characters though. I also admittedly have a soft spot for Bayverse Starscream. badass Jet mode, badass Weapons, and I love the Vulture-like look he has going on.

i second this in every way

Vanquisher1000

I think movieverse Starscream's design is underappreciated in that people don't seem to recognise/appreciate the design choices made to give him his distinctive look. People just go "he looks like a Dorito, he he he," but that wide chest is there so he folds out laterally instead of longitudinally, which would make him ludicrously tall next to the Autobots. He also has several bird-inspired features, so the end result is that he manages to look bird-like and alien at the same time. His head is shaped like a bird's, save for the beak. The wide chest and large arms could be interpreted as bird-like. The "chicken legs" have an arrangement that is seen on practically all flying birds, so it makes sense that a flyer would have legs like that.


Patient_Dimension874

The best Starscream design ever

Kek_Kommando_88

impostor2003

The "This is Starscream" in Cybertronian literally tells you that he's a threat and not a meme material like in Transformers Prime

M24Chaffee

I'm just kidding, though I do marvel at the delicacy with which the designers adapted the original design into physical attributes and clothing details. I know I'm not breaking new ground here, but for me it's Armada and Bayformers too.


RedditorRogue21

Honestly yeah, itā€™s not my favourite design but itā€™s actually a really good design for converting G1 Starscream to an anime girl.


Extremnator

Prime for sure!! even more when Knockout is together with him. Fun fact: Here in Brazil the person who voiced him also voiced Megatron in the three first episodes of G1 that came here years later.

AssociateFormal6058

Crazy to think this version will be twenty years old next year


Jordy_Merc22

I have a soft spot for bayverse and prime šŸ˜­ As ugly and weird looking as all the designs were, I think the Decepticons were good at looking like evil scary robots. And I feel like a lot of them just needed some color. Like Soundwave wouldā€™ve looked great in G1 colors, and I think so would Starscream But Prime is also a great one, I feel like he looks like a schemer and like he would try to go against Megatron

Armada/Micron Legends


pitekargos6

I absolutely love his WfC/FoC design, second would probably be the Prime version.


IvoMW

I like pretty much all of his designs, but my favourites are a tie between g1 and Bayverse. Tao drastically different takes on the characterz but i love them both for different reasons


Samyron1

I don't think any look on Starscream will be better than Armada's.

Gamekid21244

G1 for sure, childhood and everything


Dinna-Tentacles

Armada all the way. I hear his boss theme from the PS2 game whenever I look at my Legacy Armada boy.


Macaron-lover5731

Armada Screamer, honestly he is a interesting take on the character rather then over throwing he challenges Megatron for Validation, and on the emotional side he is a soft boy treating Minicons with respect, he died a hero.


I_Suck_At_Life_24

Either RID or Animated


Noble7878

Despite not looking like any other version besides also being a jet, it has to be Prime. I love pretty much every version of Starscream, he's an extremely consistent character, but Prime Starscream to me is the only one who looks how he acts, if that makes sense. The design being super thin and pointy overall, with that long, thin face, slight hunch, red eyes, clawed fingers, and the tall wings giving him this kind of 'Scheming vizier', Jafar-esque look really sells Starscream as a backstabbing, self-serving opportunist who's desperate for power.


TheLucien-01

G1

CommanderStrarscream

Prime, WfC/FoC games, Earthspark (which kinda surprised me to be honest) and the Reactivate figure


chubbyjelly

we didn't see him much, but a couple of issues of 'more than meets the eye' show him when he's testifying at megatron's trial, and there's just something about that design that i adore. it kind of balances the og with a few revamps, and it just looks really nice. war for cybertron is also a really good design (love the texture on all of the war for cybertron bots actually), and i've always had a soft spot for prime's starscream, he looks so devious!!


PizdoKarina69

Og, dorito, armada...


Morcemoon

G1 all day


RbbcatUlt

Wfc and Dorito bayverse one. Wfc because he is pretty much THE star scream design with it basically being a reboot of G1 design and Dorito shape i grew up with along with it just being one of the more unique designs for a deception


Dear_Ad5256

Why is there no armada?


KaonicEli

Personality-wise, Prime is my favorite, as far as physically, G1


kingng93

Prime design made him look even more sneakier and more convincing to get rid of megatron


CameronDoy1901

Animated Starscream (plus Tom Kennyā€™s voice doesnā€™t get enough credit)


fishyofpain

Armada was such a great design. Especially loved getting to see Saren Stoneā€™s gorgeous take on it for the original Windblade comic. I recall at the time preferring the Energon version since it was a great ā€œmodern takeā€ on the original G1 Seeker design (I feel like EJ Suā€™s IDW version has a few similarities).


DaNetwork27

Good ol Dorito! But I also like G1, BB Movie and Prime https://preview.redd.it/w09dtvk1e16d1.jpeg?width=350&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=98415d4cba1d2834ffd01e2c395581c82617b0c5

JTGE-201

AiR-P00P

Prime. He has hjs moments but when he's feeling bloodthirsty he's like a nightmare slenderman. Those gangly limbs and razor claws.


ChristianTDD

Absolute favorite Starscream Design: Easily Cybertron Starscream and Armada Starscream. Least favorite design: Prime Starscream and Bayverse Starscream


Garrow_the_Khajiit

G1, Animated, and Armada are my top 3 designs AND top 3 versions of him in general.


MuslimCarLover

FINALLY, SOMEONE WHO LIKES THE WAR FOR CYBERTRON TRILOGY. HE JUST LIKE ME FR


Primus0

As a figure, Siege In general, F-15 Really wish they put more effort into the ER mold.


DbD_Fan_1233

His Unicron Trilogy Designs are all amazing


Living-Ad-7400

Top 3 are Animated, Bay, and Prime (in no particular order). Honourable mentions go to classic and armada


ihatetimetravel

When it comes to ā€œdesignā€ G1 is the default for a lot of characters. The style varies from project to project. I know itā€™s not everyoneā€™s thing but War for Cybertron to me was perfect because they were G1 blocky but the 3D environment made the transformations believable. Starscream in that show was just perfect imo, weā€™ve gotten some really nice looking figs from that show and on.


skelebone2_0

Armada (what gave that away?), cybertron (itā€™s just cool), prime (I love the sleekness), reactivate(game may never drop but the design slaps).


Jandrem

1 and 3


ETC3000

G1 has such a clean and simple design that the toy designers feel obligated to muck up with a bunch of disgusting creases and wrinkles and "technical detail" Prime is a close second because while a lot of the color was sucked out by the 2010s, they amplified his fruitiness and flamboyance to dangerous levels. The little detail of his wings denoting his emotions is really cool


LizardSaurus001

I'd say prime starscream. Was the second Starscream version I was exposed to after Bayverse.


Madam_KayC

Armada and tfp


Express-Record7416

Animated is my personal favorite. But Beast Wars ii is the funniest


DecentSand4740

Man, thatā€™s so hard, (all of them; if Iā€™m allowed to give a cop out answer) I absolutely love the color scheme of g1, itā€™s bright and I really like the blue, makes him feel like a tropical bird in a weird way, especially with all the seekers together, But also prime has such a fascinating and sharp silhouette, the knife fingers especially are a fun addition that add to his menace. But I do love the variety in facial expressions and wing poses we get in the idw comics. Itā€™s a tough choice!


250extreme

RID 2015


PG2904

The OG, Armada, Earthspark, and Reactivate are all great designs. Hard to pick between them tbh.


HollowedFlash65

Armada Starscream along with WFC/FOC Starscream and Cybertron Starscream.


Nox_The_Overlord

I will give RiD one thing. They got the bot designs spot on and Starscream was no exception.


ShadyboiX

UT in general. Armada is my favorite, Energon and Cybertron can rotate in between 2nd and 3rd.


Loud-Taste6394

Animated, hands down


PokWangpanmang

Starscream designs are hard to mess up, as a Baycream fan myself.


jch7496

I love his design from the War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron games. Those would most likely be my favorites. I also really like his Armada and Cybertron TV series designs as well.


LvM3Tndr

I love me some G1. IDW Robots in Disguise is also a hit.


swaxeberserker96

The Cybertron one is literally godlyā€¦.. but prime starscream not so much


Izla1133

Prime, the Windblade comics/Armada, and Earthspark


TeamRepresentative16

Armada, WFC, and prime. I admit TFP starscream had a certain charm to him.

Imaginary-Job-7069

What about Doritoscream?


Florence-Akefia

Honestly, I love pretty much all of the cartoon/movie designs (yes, even the hulking Dorito, the Bayverse Decepticons in general just have really freaky designs that I really love). I really like his Armada design (and the similar version featured in the 2005 IDW run), the more sleek and dainty design of TFPrime, and the Robots in Disguise design, especially with those little flicks of black at the inside edges of his optics, that boy is genuinely menacing, and I love him.


Fluid-Estate-3007

Prime is just perfect


DOOM6IS6ETERNAL6

TFP, Is definitely one of the most stylish Iterations of Starscream he's my #1 favorite Starscreams of all tome G1 is honestly overrated. Yes, G1 is the original. That doesn't make it the best by default. I honestly don't why people think that so often. WFC trilogy It's literally just G1 with extra details...


Extremnator

Bayverse is good, but what about this? https://preview.redd.it/kvcqilt9e16d1.png?width=616&format=png&auto=webp&s=347a1f41238ad364c4c32b800dc81a9a18991631 Is it a "Life is good, but it can be better?"

rockyb2006

Those 3 right there.


AtomicWreck

G1 and itā€™s not even close.


GhostWriter313

Definitely the first one! The third one is a more defined version of the first one. The second one looks like a disease looking for a permanent residentā€¦


StefinoSpaggeti

Prime. Nothing against others, I just love rockets on his arms and how he show emotions with his wings.


Crusherthe1

Either Armada Starscream or TFP Starscream. Armada Starscream has a new take on the G1 design, at least I think it does, I like how his wing becomes his sword and his jet mode is unique and cool. TFP Starscream just looks like he is truly evil.


ImTheThuggernautB

If Prime had Animated's color scheme it would have been absolute peak. Prime's build was my favorite as I feel it was more fitting of the sycophant/treacherous type Starscream has embodied for decades. The spindly limbs, the slightly hunched stance. Prime 'Scream just fit the bill in my book, even if it was a bit boring in color


IBarrakiI

Animated, Armada and space dorito


ButterPuppet

Prime and Earthspark because Starscream absolutely deserves that goatee


Firehawk-76

The Bay version is an abomination.


MagicOrpheus310

Wtf is that second one...


Chemical_Report_2705

Prime


Tilas

G1 and Prime. I really didnā€™t think Iā€™d like him going into Prime but hot damn they wrote him so well it just fit. The lanky body actually worked for his weaselly character and they just let him *emote* which was fun.


VenuslyVenus

War for Cybertron


Clear-Bench-4202

Fall of cybertron will always be my goat


Greenrobot64

Animated is my all-time favorite Starscream design. It was the first Starscream I was introduced to, it looks so stylish and sleek and it has the deep, Decepticon-ey colors. I definitely prefer the lanky starscream over the G1-boxy look for him, to an extent. Honestly he kinda looks like something out of Invader Zim, which might be the main reason I like his design so much.


Gamer-Logic

I liked Cyberverse. It's like g1 but with a modern slenderness and sleekness. Earthspark is also good. The goatee was a nice touch. Animated is 3rd for the claws and black making him look like he's wearing gloves along with the darker pink which actually works for Screamer. I also just like the more bulky boots on robots in general as a design aspect and the null rays don't look so bulky or in the way like in g1. Admittedly, Prime is one of my least favorite designs. Not really fond of the hunchback and the arm length makes him look kind of awkward. Also, he needs more color than a simple dull grey. It is *Starscream* after all.

Ngl I just like his TFP and Bayverse design. I don't really like his other designs.


CardboardChampion

Armada is peak, and I'm a G1 guy.


maskedduskrider

I liked Animated Starscream's design. A good mix of G1 elements changed in a way that makes reference to the past while doing its own thing and looking a bit sinister.


Moe-Mux-Hagi

TF One šŸ˜‰


OrchidSure5401

Why is armada starscream not there?


blntfrcehedtrma

Its absolutely g1 for me i think. I love modern versions of the character deeply, but something about g1 screamer is peak to me.


Adept_Animator_2876

G1 or cybertron


Thebaka12

Bumblebee Movie, Bayverse, Armada, Cybertron, Beast Wars II Tbh if he had the same face as the other Seekers and Blitzwing it would be even cooler


lore-hunger-102398

Robots in disguise was the perfect balance literally made starscream a total badass But that cartoon was still garbage and a waste of potential. I love what they were trying to do, but it was so horribly executed and I hated how they toned it down to younger audiences. I'm pretty sure it's non cannon since they knew everyone hated it. And that's why they canceled it Plus starscream Should have been one of the main villains of the show. I say should've because preadcons would've been Excellent villains two and Just like how the brutes, replace the elites in halo of the convenant
