everytime you see those Starscream jokes you think they’re exaggerations but jesus christ they’re really not lmao
Megatron: -trips and stays on floor for a split second-
Starscream: MEGATRON HAS FALLEN, I STARSCREAM WILL NOW LEAD THE DECEPTICONS.
I’m not sure which is funnier: Star Screams complete lack of chill since the earliest days of the cartoons or Megatron’s walrus mating call in a moment of distress
G1 Transformers becomes a lot more unsettling to watch when you take into consideration that all the animation errors are canon.
What do you MEAN they’re canon?
You know Unicron? That old son of a gun turned out to be a multiuniversal singularity. Meaning: in all the Transformers universes there was only the one Unicron. The one from armada, the one from G1, the one from Prime. Every single one of them, the same guy existing at the same time in multiple continuities. Same thing for the 13 and Primus.
But then, in Energon, Unicron fucking died. Like, he ended up dead, that shit had never happened before. And Unicron passed from being alive and existing in all universes in tandem, to be dead in one of them. The fabric of reality couldn’t take it and started to collapse on itself (the setting in Cybertron) which manifests as all the errors that occur in all the continuities.
If I remember correctly, it’s called The Unicron Singularity
All the animation errors, all the continuity inconsistencies
Starscream had Thundercracker’s paintjob for a few frames? Unicron Singularity
A dead character appears on a crowd shot? Unicron Singularity
There’s a number of things wrong in this thirty second clip, and I have no idea where to begin.
Ravage breaking the laws of gravity however is probably my favorite.
It is time to point out every single error in this thirty second clip..
1: When Starscream is dropped into the bowl by Aaron (Yes. That is his name, Aaron.) he is colored like Skywarp.
2: Soundwave randomly appears into existence.
3: When Aaron is about to drop Soundwave into the bowl Starscream is colored correctly, however once Soundwave is dropped in Starscream is back to being colored like Skywarp.
4: Once Soundwave lands into the bowl he hisses as if he is Ravage.
5: There’s some weird sound editing going on when Thrust is about to be put into the bowl. You can hear Soundwave randomly grumbling??? It is possible that could be intentional because you then hear Starscream sassily reply “Big talker.” However I think he is replying to Thrust’s failed threat towards Aaron when he demands to be released.
6: Ravage’s optics are not colored in properly. They are usually red, but here they are black.
7: Uh…the sound that Ravage makes before he bites Aaron.
8: When Starscream knocks Ravage off of him his mouth does not move when he says “Get off me you elf.” Ravage then floats in the air for a good four or five seconds before landing.
BONUS
Starscream, Soundwave, Thrust and Ravage all could have escaped because they can fly.
