Look at the Armada Starscream:

Is this a new character based on the G-1 Starscream, or has the fallen G-1 lieutenant's immortal spark finally obtained a new body?

I've heard a lot of complains about the Armada incarnation not looking enough like the original Starscream, but I think it's pretty damn slick myself. I mean, the head looks enough like him. You can almost see that crafty, supercilious smirk gracing his mechanical visage. Plus, he's got a bad-ass sword now. If only Chris Latta were still around to do his voice.

A twisted, wicked, and pure backstabbingly evil grin, yep that's gotta be our good ol buddy Screamer!

Screamer wasn't dead at the end of the American G1 though, Unicron gave him his body back, he just went spinning through space w/Galvatron and the Decpeticons shooting at him. So unless they hunted him down and finished him off again during the commercial break, by my calculations it's perfectly logical for Screamer to live. I know this puts a kink in things when you think about his bodyless spark in Beast Wars, but then again think they went back in time so who's to say Screamers spark didn't too while it wasn't attached to a body.

I think he came back and got this new body. He's outlived so many other Transformers. I like that sword too.

I have to agree, the sword is a nice touch. I'm sure he'll more than eagerly use it in battle *LOL* *Pictures Megs gettin whacked in the back of the head*. I'll have to say Screamer's stunts in G1 provided me hrs and hrs of laughs, i hope he does it again in Armada.

One thing I don't like about it is how one of his wings as his sword makes him unsymmetrical, but other than that it looks like a great toy. Can't wait!

Get the guy who did terrosaurs voice in beastwars to do the new Starscreams voice.

Yeah the guy that did Terrosaur's voice did Starcreams voice in that one episode and i think it was pretty good, but we know how Hasbro is on worrying about accuracy *LOL* mite as well forget that good idea.

Starscream IS Starscream. Hasbro loves to recycle old G1 names look how many Optimus's and Megatron's we've had??! Their is only ONE Starscream though. The setting for Armada is 2010. Starscream was given his body back by Unicron in 2006 then we don't see him again. My guess is he has been biding his time reconstructing a new more powerful body for himself. His spark went back in time BEFORE his meeting with Unicron. I also believe that Armada Megatron = G1 Galvatron reformed. He a descendent of G1 Megs??? Mmmmmhmmmm.

Unless you think of things through a Japanese perspective. Then it looks really silly...

There is only one Starscream, which is the voice actor who did his voice. Now that he passed away (from what I've heard), the new Starscream imo is not, and will never be, the old Starscream.

The Green Knight · Post by **The Green Knight** » Wed Feb 27, 2002 10:21 am

Yes, Starscream's original voice actor, Chris Latta, died in 1994.

*observes a moment of silence for Chris*

Doug Parker, long time imitator of Chirs' characterizations, did the Screamer's voice in his Beast Wars appearance. I guess he did okay, but to me it just wasn't the same.

Who will voice the character in the future? Will Doug Parker take up the role again? Or will someone else? Will they even want the character to sound the same? I hope so. Hey, maybe Hasbro should give me a call, it's not like I'm doing anything that important...

Ulticron · Post by **Ulticron** » Wed Feb 27, 2002 2:05 pm

Just out of curiousity was Doug Parker also the same guy that did Terrosaur's voice in Beast wars?

The Green Knight · Post by **The Green Knight** » Thu Feb 28, 2002 12:25 am

Yep. In fact, that's why Terrorsaur didn't speak much (or not at all, if I recall correctly), because they didn't want to draw too many parallels between his voice and Starscream's voice during the episode.

Much as I feel Hasbro is behind this new series, I don't think they have that scale a budget.
