Transformers News

by Paul

I recently discovered an interview with the creator of the Master Piece edition of Starscream. Apparently the original was in Japanese so here it is in all of its translated goodness. I’ve got to warn you, if you don’t know anything about the Transformers line, especially pertaining to the Japanese Transformers line, then you might get a little lost.

Reading this article really makes me want to pick one of these figures up, since I’ve always been a fan of Starscream. Once thing I could never understand was why I liked him in the first place. He was such a tool. Maybe it was that he was a tool in such a grand way. There wasn’t any plan to screw over Megatron that he didn’t mess up. His voice, provided by the late, great Chris Latta, is probably the other reason I liked him. How can you not like a Chris Latta voiced character? It’s impossible, I tell you. Impossible!

    When he finally gets it right in Transformers the Movie, Omicron goes and resurects Megatron as Galvatron. Which winds up being the end of Starscream (except for his ghost cameos later on.) If it weren’t for bad luck he’d have no luck at all.

    I was going to say something about that, but then I got lazy heh. Did you ever see the episode where he was a ghost and working with Unicron’s disembodied head? Bizarre.
