Starscream confirmed for Transformers: War for Cybertron

Okay, it’s a bit of a Captain Obvious since only a complete prick would make a Transformers game and omit the franchise’s best character, but nonetheless it has been confirmed that Starscream will be in High Moon’s Transformers: War for Cybertron. Here’s what he’ll look like, too. 

As with all the other Transformers, Starscream has been given a “pre-Earth” look, transforming into a Cybertronian equivalent of his famous jet form. He has been given a sleeker design than his Generation 1 counterpart, but he still looks like the classic Starscream we known and love as opposed to that hideous ape-like Michael Bay abortion. 

War for Cybertron will flesh out the Starscream character and shed some light onto his scheming motivations. His first meeting with Megatron will be detailed, and it’ll become clear that he believes both Megatron and Optimus Prime fail as leaders. As one of the few flying Transformers, Starscream has a hover ability, as well as a shockwave attack. 

So yes, there’s some Starscream for you.
