myla-lost-scrapyard replied to your post “how I think they could have made it work:”
I like to think he beated (through analysis and strategy) predacons (not necessarily killed them) and in the proces his old frame was too easily damaged by their claws, so he decided to upgrade himself to being able to fight hand-to-hand against his enemies.
I love it!
then I guess we could just throw out the window the line about this being Starscream’s “old body” and it would actually make sense! (seriously the writers could have just left that line out and avoid this whole mess)
plus, I hated how much the show tried to make him look like such an idiot while “fighting” the Predacons (i think I’ll make a post about this insult to his character later) so I definitely like your version better!
