transformers cybertron is actually so cool like what...
STARSCREAM IN PARTICULAR.
this mech, one man ARMY. he took down evac, smokescreen, jetfire, scattershot, red alert, landmine, vector prime, override, hotshot, snarl and almost took out leobreaker... AND stood his ground against Optimus AS WELL AS HIS LEO PRIME MODE.
he absolutely mopped the FLOOR with the Autobots.
AND HE WAS INJURED WHILE FACING OPTIMUS
HE STILL GOT THREE CYBERPLANET KEYS AND THE OMEGA LOCK...
EVEN IF IT WAS THROUGH A DIRTY TRICK, IT WAS QUICK THINKING. he also managed to trap Megatron and all the other Decepticons.
TFA and TFP need to take notes from Cybertron Starscream ngl
i LOVE how he's a real threat. unicron trilogy does not play about Starscream and I LOVE THAT. he's not a coward, he just doesn't like to gamble too much but when his goal is right in his sights, he becomes a mech of sheer fucking will and commitment. he is FOCUSED.
ALSO... i hate how underrated Cybertron is but since it's underrated, i legit don't get any spoilers for the show so it has me on the edge of my seat bc i genuinely cannot tell wtf will happen next.
guys, im begging you. YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS. its SO COOL. you don't even need to finish through Energon to watch Cybertron. the animation style is a bit choppy but i guarantee you, its worth the watch cause the plot, the character writing, the character development.... it's all absolutely fantastic.
theres also a HUGE roaster of characters and still, it manages to give everyone adequate screen time.
Cybertron is pretty much its own thing and i love it for that!
