Starscream

Yeah, okay.

Missing Link Starscream.

Cannot wait.

That would be awesome.

So,

again, with Starscream, with that original toy, there's only so much you can do with that.

So, I would suggest people start preparing themselves for something more along the lines of Masterpiece Ironhide and Ratchet.

yeah i mean that's

was, I remember when we were working on Transformers prime at Hasbro and we're then we were all talking to writers and the executive producer, Jeff Klein, we were all talking about the show.

And there was this thing that they talked about with the script that like Optimus prime and Megatron, uh, and Starscream talk like they're in a Shakespearean play.

And everybody else talks like they are in a boys action animated series.

But I think I was thinking about that when I was watching this, because to your point, everything else that's happening is like, you got Paladin, and Tommy's over here, and Paul Bettany's doing this, and then you got this, and then, oh my God, it's the guy from the Ten Rings and the Iron Man movie.

Hi, I'm Amy the Amazonian.

You might know me from my streams or YouTube content, and today I'm going to introduce you to the true meaning of betrayal with Starscream Power Hungary.

This card introduces the monarch into the game and then steals the crown for himself, so I can get some card draw and drain the table for life.

This is a deck that makes tokens, sacrifices creatures, and kills all the creatures around the table to make sure I keep the throne.

I'll play a Spymaster's Vault, which comes in untapped.

And I'm going to cast the backside of my commander using More Than Meets the Eye.

And I'm casting Starscream Seeker Leader as a living metal.

So on my turn, it's a creature.

And I chose for us this year to do the IDW 2021 Halloween special, which, you know, is part of the IDW 2.0 continuity.

It's got a single story called I Have No Mouth and I Must Starscream.

which is a parody of Harlan Ellison's You Stole My Idea short story.

I have no mouth and I must scream.

just, uh, you know, for, you know, as you, as you said, we're apologists for this continuity.

So like anyone listening to this who has not read this or not, you know, isn't familiar with this continuity.

Like, you know, this story basically like Starscream is kind of led out into the wilderness, like the Cybertronian wilderness.

So the Cybertronian mountains, uh, by a sort of, like, legend or myth of, like, a shrieking spark in the wilderness.

Has there been a clear blue plastic hot rod? I mean, like that, that just seems like something that, that blockies could do, or I don't know.

I think even like I'm looking over at my old SCF shelf with the, the Takara figures and I've got a clear Rodimus prime and I've got a pewter silver Optimus Prime but like none of those are glowing blue certainly not like a a purple sparkling ghost of Starscream type of thing but like yeah how come we haven't had like a a delicious blue raspberry hot rod holding holding the matrix here that that seems like a really cool opportunity but not to lose the thread who sees this Does everybody see this? Does nobody see this? And because I would think later down the line, it would be like, well, hey, Hot Rod touched the Matrix.

And are we just not going to like like Springer would say this? He'd be like, are we just not going to talk about the time the entire room turned blue when Hot Rod touched the Matrix? That was weird, right? And Daniel's like, I guess so.

Yeah.

But, oh boy, man, am I going to feel real stupid if this does indeed walk up to a cheap, poorly produced Megatron Rising series on YouTube or whatever next year.

All right, let's switch things up here and get into some shoutouts.

Shoutout! A few weeks ago, I posted an image of the Constructicons blowing their horns at Starscream's coronation with the caption party like it's 96 and bring the horn section back.

Check out this week's 40 for 40 Transformers the movie and stick around through the credits for a fun vintage treat by MC Lars with the hashtag Ska is not dead.

Hey, Patrick is...

noise.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

be offering an opinion on.

And the same is true for Peppa Pig or Optimus Prime or Starscream or Megatron, all of which we have talent deals with and all of which are available or going to be available on the platform.

And so what this allows us to do is it's basically kind of similar to what the music industry was, call it 20, 25 years ago.

20, 25 years ago, it was kind of the Wild West.
