No, he's a blowhard and a coward. The G1 Screamer would never amount to anything, but he would have made an excellent soldier after his death, too bad his Pride kept getting the better of him.

Starscream was no leader. He relied on plotting against his own kind too much. Great when you are trying to get power, but terrible when you are in power.

He was a shitty decepticon leader when Megs was out for the count, because he is at heart a manipulative, cruel coward without Megatron's gravitas, focus, keikakus or command experience. He feels entitled to leadership, rather than earning or being suited for it, generally.

He's pretty damn decent at weaving a big old web of deception and isolating himself, though.

He should be the leader

Too cold. Megatron's charisma binds the cons together. He should be SIC or TIC, though, along with Soundwave.

That one, no.
Prime Starscream was legitimately the best leader, but then Megatron came back and fucked everything up.

All of Megatron's underlings lack the capacity to actually lead.
>Starscream is a coward.
>Shockwave is too much of a computer. He lacks lateral thought, and his total lack of charisma keeps anyone from following him, or developing loyalties.
>Soundwave is too naive. He doesnt even lead his cassettes so much as he has befriended them. Despite appearances, he is too friendly to be Decepticon leader and his loyalties and relationships would prevent him from being decisive.

Megatron is the whole package. He has the loyalty and bonds of Soundwave, the cold military mind of Shockwave, and the wanton cruelty and charisma of Starscream.

I would like to see Megatron square up with some of the other decepticon leaders that operated on his level, like Beast Wars Megatron, Overlord, Skorponok, Dezarus, and Gigatron.

What would Megatron do if he met BW Megatron? My guess is that he would just make the purple dinosaur one of his minions. Having the predacons on his side wouldn't hurt (maybe not Rampage however)

He had like 4 million years to take the power but he did nothing.

He'd find his attempt at claiming his name to be an insult
He'd have him as a minion but after he yields the name

I think it's a part of Shockwave's plan. He knows he lacks the charisma and loyalty that Megatron has and by disposing him, Shockwave opens up a power vacuum that does more harm then good. By keeping Megatron in power he can keep working on his plans while still making sure the guy in charge is a total fuck up

BW Megatron apparently idolized G1 Megatron, and named himself after him. So he may pledge loyalty to G1 Megs

Then again knowing how proud and despotic he is, BW might straight up try to kill and take G1's place.

Cartoon Shockwave suffered too much from following schemes to the letter, while comic Shockwave was better at making plans and could adapt better to the situation.

Sup Forums, I have a problem. You know how those corny-ass posts about Sup Forums turning user into this, and Sup Forums turning user into that?
I guess Sup Forums made me a slut for Delicious brown rule 63 Starcream.

disgusting

more?

>Soundwave is too naive ... he is too friendly to be Decepticon leader
You're not wrong.
>Don't leave me, Soundwave
>As you command, Megatron
Soundwave was an absolute top tier minion. Loyal to the end.

Seconding, but specifically of the far right. I don't find the other two attractive.

>Not being attracted to normal Starscream
Weak.

Pigtails don't fit starscream.
Who said that?
Don't tell me you wouldn't kiss him.

No. Even as the new ruler of Cybertron in IDW, he's just riding the waves of a lucky streak.

Fuck no. He's intelligent and powerful enough but he's way too timid, and he's not the type to lead from the front either which will make the other Decepticons quickly lose respect for him, so he'll get challenged constantly and undermined frequently

That's just it, Doc!
It burns both ways!

There was a bit if discussion about his time ruling over the Decepticons in IDW. He had the matrix at the time. In the old comics the Matrix effected Starscream's mind and made him weaker. It's possible it was doing the same in IDW.

We are posting girl starscream now?

I dont have a Starscream. have an oil slick instead.

Of course they do. They're supposed to be the black thing on the side of his face

No, starscream is a terrible leader. He never really saw the big picture. He just wanted power for the sake of power.

>Helmetless
You just had to do one thing.
Wouldn't a bob cut fit better then?

Nah. It comes off of the top through an crease, unlike Megatron who's thing just goes straight down. Pigtails is the most accurate transition.

please post more
