GOSH OHOHOHOHOHOHO, i need to rant about this-
OKAY SO a couple of days ago i found someone that upped the entire Transformers(1986) movie on youtube dubbed in russian. That's important because... i have a friend that really likes transformers, and i've been thinking about researching about it, who knows? maybe i'd find another franchise that i like too. The live actions werent all that appealing to me, though, so i never reeeally got into it. HOWEVER, i love animations and i like watching movies in languages i can't understand, so i sat down and watched a chunk of the aforementioned movie.
That got me excited to watch more transformers, and i found the classic generation one cartoon on the Hasbro yt channel. I've watched a couple episodes now, and i've just been deep diving on Transformers lore since i started. There's a lot of interesting stuff and i like getting to know the differences in designs and writing of each character in each different iteration of the story, plus i just really.. love.. huge.. robots. So it was supper compatible with me and i quickly got obssessed. (a moment of silence for my friends that have been listening to me talk about transformers lore they don't understand for like, three days straight now.)
But anyway... watching g1 and trying to memorize everyone's names made me realize how i depend on drawing to process and perceive a lot of things in my life. Drawing helps me memorize the shapes of people or characters, or even understand others. It's a good emotional outlet and hobby. I've been trying to learn how to draw Starscream, since so far he's pretty much my favorite, along with Soundwave. And Bumblebee, obviously, though i have a tendency to care more for the Decepticons in g1.
OK this is the part where i ramble about why i like them.
Starscream is the Air Commander of the Decepticons and (arguably) Megatron's right arm. Always second place to his overlord, Starscream's biggest ambition is to take over as the leader of the Decepticon cause, and he's not afraid to make that abundantly clear. However, his plans to overthrow Megatron never work, in quite hilarious fashion. And still Megatron keeps him around for reasons i'm sure are unknown even to himself.
He's the primary seeker, and has almost the same color scheme as Optimus ! He is an absolute gremlin in G1 and that will forever be my favorite iteration of him. Design-wise, Armada Starscream is probably a close second. heeee is also probably my favorite transformers character and the only reason i didnt put a floatie of him in the page is because i couldnt find any nice images of him wah
thanks for reading ig bye now
