Years of abuse and torment paid back in five minutes
@@BasedVegeta even megatron himself knew he deserved worse.
And Megatron payed Starscream back in return by not only living but becoming captain of an Autobot ship
@@NICKatronMC I have to disagree...
@@NICKatronMC Eh, he dodged his punishment but it ultimately came running to meet him.
@@daughter-of-loki1062 he still died in the end or his copy died the real Megatron is somewhere exploring other dimensions with the lost light crew
I love how Megatron had resigned himself to die, yet he hates Starscream so much that after all this he decided he wanted to live purely out of spite
More like realized Starscream is right and resolved to do SOMETHING good before he gets executed.
@@greenxxxableTHIS.
Starscream roasted Megatron so hard he decided to stay alive out of *spite.*
Which one, Star or Megs? XD
@@ut_girl666 Definitely Megatron
@@ut_girl666 I'm assuming you read the comic, so I'll recap. Megatron initially pled guilty, but after this, he found a loophole to join the crew of the Lost Light and pled innocent.
@@adrianli7559 I’ve never actually gotten a chance to, since idrk where to find them, so I can read them, but I really, *really* want to. The recap really helps, I now understand. And hate canon Megatron even frickign more! :D
Thank you for the summary! ^w^
@@ut_girl666 Megatron didn't plead innocent to get away with his crimes - he wanted to make sure he did at least one good thing before he died.
"Objection, witness is grandstanding." It's STARSCREAM. That's 60% of his personality.
The rest is cowardice, pathological lying, violence, and treachery. A winning combination.
I can taste the smugness, Starscream must have been preparing this speech as soon as he heard about the trial.
Before the trial? I wouldn't be surprised if Starscream's been preparing this speech for a millennia
@@BasedVegeta How do you feel now that you helped to destroy Unicron.
@@BasedVegeta Big fan of your comments here. At least you got to die a hero. Optimus died someone who would be hated/loved at his funeral. Besides you got a friend in Bumblebee.
@@BasedVegeta No Slag is Slag not Slug. But at the very least be happy that I remember you as my favorite decpticon.
@@BasedVegeta I'm actually Autobot Ground-Breaker in disguise. I know what Slag means I'm just making a joke of Slag's name being changed to Slug (Totally horrible in my opinion don't you think?).
Dozens of Cybertronians: *States how happy everyone will be when he is inevitably executed*
Megatron: *Accepts his fate*
Starscream: *Roasts him*
Megatron: I’m about to become captain
Rodimus: Co-Captain!
“I’m saying that we should aquit Megatron of being Megatron, on the grounds of being Megatron.”
“The only thing he is guilty of is being Megatron. That is his crime, and it is also his punishment.”
XD lol This is one of the reasons I love Starscream. My favorite "Better than Megatron" moments was his concern for the Space-Time Continuum on Dinobot Island. He told Megatron there was something going on, but he just smacked Starscream. WTF, Megatron?!
@@magnusprime962 I realize that this was a year ago, but I wanted to say that I recognized the Red Dwarf reference, and I thought it was pretty slick.
We're looking at a Starscream at his best. As a military commander he's hilariously incompetent. but as a word smith, he is a master of twisting the truth through sentiment and little unproveable lies into an unbeatable advantage. Starscream is a master orator.
In other words, he’s a perfect politician.
@@zafool4997 yep.
Starscream started out as a scientist and then got a job with a politician. It is no wonder that he lacks military ability.
Generally, Megatron has greater military coordination skills, while Starscream has a more political/diplomatic approach. We rarely see the latter take precedent, which is what makes this story so surprising.
@@miyako1909 true honestly those roles suit him better idrk why he ever decided to become a military commandor tbh 😅
01:23
"Objection! Starscream talks way too much!"
"Agreed. Shut the fuck up, Starscream."
To be fair, Starscream _was_ getting off-topic just to paint himself in a sympathetic light. Once he focused on the accused, everybody just listened.
This is Starscream's revenge for the "spotlight Megatron" comic. Now that their positions are reversed he's basically saying back to Megatron everything that was said to him.
“How do you feel mIgHtY Megatron?”
*kick*
This was just THAT for 5 minutes.
Absolutely glorious.
That was the most eloquent roasting of a man's character I've ever heard. He verbally got revenge for centuries of being his door mat. That was nothing more than starscream humiliating megatron through words and stripping him.of pride. Damn
i was thinking the same
That was.... brilliant. On Screamer's part.
He fucking lost it tho when Megatron ended up going: Fuck it...plan B it is.
At this point in the contiunity, wouldn't even care about he's pride. At lest not anymore.
Starscream really does know Megatron better than anyone.
Starscream knows that Megatron would rather go out being thought of the revolutionary that fought and died for the dream, than allowed to live on being considered a shortsighted over ambitious anarchist, who gaslighted his troops into believing in a pipe dream and was always doomed to fail miserably.
As the final laser in the Decepticon crypt, the one person that Megatron has always known who wanted him dead more anyone else is now asking for him to be allowed to live.
The ultimate revenge for Starscream.
That was .... the most incredible roasting ever. Starscream literally roasted the hell out of Megatron...
Figuratively. But yes
Hi maria. what's up?
Starscream still screwed up. He roasted Megatron so bad instead of wanting to die, he stayed alive out of spite.
Starscream's revenge paid back in 5 minutes, truly the worthy leader of Cybertron.
@@BasedVegeta Till your crimes were shown.
All hail lord STARSCREAM!!!
@@BasedVegeta ALL HAIL LORD STARSCREAM!!!
Yes, as he will... Make Cybertron Fabulous Again...
@@BasedVegeta all hail lord starscream, leader of cybertron!!!!
It says a lot about how far Megatron has come that he did not smash his way through every one in his way and seperate Starscreams head from his body for his testimony lol.
Richard Weatherly- I love the fact that the first few panels of him just see him fuming with rage, until the final few images of him just almost portray him as reluctantly realising Starscream was right. His "Revolution" went so far of the track of it's original purpose that it degenerated into a 4 Million year slaughter and even Post War, they're still having to deal with the aftermath of his decisions, like the DJD.
Finbar Brolly MEGATRONS WILL WAS AND IS FOR THE GOOD OF CYBERTRON
Finbar Brolly more like he grew more and more into living just to spite Starscream
@@IsaiahINRI His initial revolution against the Senate? Yes, justified. The resultant war that led to the deaths of 104 billion sentient beings, be they Transformers, humans, or any other number of races that in all likelihood no longer exist? Not. Justified. The only reason anti-machine prejudice exists is because the machines literally slaughtered everyone hoping to prevent anti-machine prejudice from existing.
@@samuelwithers2221 yeah yeah, NO. Anti-machine prejudice did NOT start with the war. You just dismissed millions of years of slavery and many other ways that same anti-machine prejudice found to make the Transformers race a living hell. So no, it did not start there. But the organics will always find a new reason to hate and belittle them, even without the war
Even if Megatron realized Starscream was right, we all know he was thinking of all the ways he'd punish Starscream if he ever got the chance.
Until he's finished with his journey with the crew of the Lost Light and is willing to accept any punishment willingly.
By that point, I bet what Megatron would've wanted most was yo meet Starscream and sincerely apologize for everything he's put him through. _(though I don't remember if Starscream was already dead by that point, at which case it would be one hell of a gut punch for Megs)_
@@MrDibara and that was after Megatron spotlight. Where he had humiliated and destroyed any self-esteem that Starscream had, besides tearing the poor guy's face apart. Starscream came with blood in his eyes to take revenge for every humiliation, abuse and insult that Megatron caused him during the millions of years that they were in that war, and where Starscream was his personal punching bag. Starscream, upon seeing that he could be a witness in Megatron's trial, must have thought: "I'VE WAITED MY *FUCKING. WHOLE. LIFE .* FOR THIS MOMENT"
01:27 Oh yes, that is exactly how I imagined him sounding.
XD, this is one of those times where megatron might be contemplating whether to thank starscream for pulling him out of a death sentence, or punch him for completely and utterly roasting him lol.
Novaflame if I were Megatron, I would try to send him to the Dead Universe. Since he has a portal (that leads to the Dead Universe) in his stomach area
Megatron is on trial
Starscream: lm bout to end this man career
Megatron: *Becomes Autobot Captain*
More like sabe bim
We said to roast him, Starscream. Not blaze him to char. Damn.
And omg I realize that my comment got clipped. That was masterful reading. That was truly fun to watch. Watching it again.
*Insert Rick roll and starscream dancing to it right after this Testimony*
Starscream is the best dancer. Megatron said so himself. XD lol
The hole time Megatron was thinking "just keep talking starscream, you'll have to be alone some time"
Starscream is more scoundrel than ever...oh god.... is tasting every moment on the court like there's no tomorrow....looking foward for more
And the worst part? His government is the least amoral, most progressive of it's kind in the history of Cybertron. Let me say that again. *Starscream's government* is objectively better than literally *every other Cybertronian government to have ever existed.*
@@samuelwithers2221 And he was voted in so no matter how bad a person they all know he is they can’t do shit to usurp him
@@samuelwithers2221 because their other governments were fucking hypocritical racist classist cuntsacks
@@zafool4997 calm down Megs
Starscream kinda sounds like a calm Invader Zim/Kaos, which is interesting and is a perfect fit for him.
fishpop ikr
The shocking thing about this entire sequence is that you cannot even deny everything that Starscream said. I would say it’s exaggeration….but at the same time it’s not really that far from the truth since Megatron‘s former reputation as being a ruthless leader of the Deceptacon’s
And then Megatron proceeded to flip the bird to the entire justice system, escaped both imprisonment and execution, became the captain of his own ship, befriended the orator for the defense, and accomplished more than Starscream ever did (on top of everything he had done previously), all because he called the most brilliant person in Cybertron's history, of average intelligent. As Ravage said, "he always 10 steps ahead in every direction."
Well that was the new Megatron. One that was not obssessed with conquering the universe.
in that case... Starscream was at least right about Megs ambition surpassing his abilities. I mean... emperor of the galaxy is about as ambitious as you can get.
The way Megs planned the moment when he finished off Tarn implies he did exactly what a real AI would do. Conquering the galaxy and purifying it of organics would be too ambitious for a human, but for an AI it would be just obeying the laws of physics. He's not of average intelligence, he's just being a totally normal Terminator. Whereas Starscream really just wants to be super popular and loved by everyone, the biggest celebrity of the galaxy and turn Cybertron into one giant Studio 54.
@@glory2cybertron Now I really wish there had been a carpet walk for SS in Starscream the Movie
Honestly, he never flipped the justice system. He was abiding by it, but just found a loophole to live a little more as a free bot until he managed to return something to the Universe he had wounded so deeply with such a massive, unhinged war. At the end of LL, Megatron accepted that whatever awaited him after the trial, it was not enough. For him, *_No punishment would ever be enough_*
Fuck, after everything, Starscream asks that Megatron does NOT get executed, albeit while roasting the hell outta him.
THAT WAS THE SINGLEHANDEDLY MOST HARSH ROASTING TO EVER EXIST; Starscream roasted and shrank Megs down to his actual size with brutal honesty, and sass, that Megatron needed all his self pity and spite to work together to keep him live. XD 😂🤣
"Today is not about you Starscream"
"Oh, no, it's about Megatron. Let me tell you why-"
Starscream this is a trial not a roast
black knight1337 Starscream: they’re the same picture
Megatron the whole time be like: “Resisting urge to turn starscream into a statistic”
"He doesn't deserve Death. He deserves pity."
StarScream....I love you......but you didn't have to do him like that, in front of EVERYONE
*Oh yes, he did. **_Absolutelly._* 👌
Yes, he needed it. After everything Megatron and Ten went through, Starscream decided to give back a little. Starscream didn't roast Megatron... HE ROASTED HIM UNTIL HE WAS COMPLETELY BURNED, he roasted him until he turned to ash.
I love that little "Eh~!" from Starscream at 1:24.
I know the whole thing about Starscream is being an oportunist, but in this case particularly you know, you just know this was a "the window's open lets dive in" situation, he probably has been waiting 4 million years to deliver this speech.
This is amazing starscream hates/sneak disses megatron for the full video. There relationship takes transformers to another level. Well done on video
just that smugness in his voice. vengeance for the beatings.
Starscream really roasted Megatron so badly he RESTORED his will to live 😂💀
"He doesn't deserve death. He deserves p i t y." -What a line from Starscream. It's such a jab
What is the opposite of "Damned by faint praise"? "Saved by scathing critique" doesn't roll off the tongue very well.
'Saved by an absolute spitroasting of facts?'
"Saved by stark haze" maybe
I disagree. I think it rolls off the tongue just fine.
Starscream sounds so much like Frieza.
He actually does.
I can hear Megatron holding back his rage and urge to kill boiling from his energon veins
Just read Spotlight: Megatron and then watch this. *Chills.*
I'm pretty sure Megatron was remembering that too.
Damn Starscream! 😂 Why do I feel like he has waited his WHOLE LIFE to have an audience and roast Megatron like this all night? All he is missing is a glass of water or bottled water to take a sip from then continue! 😂
I'm laughing my aft off on how Starscream got his revenge on Megatron by roasting him for over 5 minutes!!! I'm one of your biggest fans, Starscream!!! Keep on doing on what you do best, and that is roasting others!!!😂😂😂😂
The hilarious bit is that it winds up inspiring Megatron to become a better person.
@@RapidFyrez _Mission failed successfully?_ 🤣
But you know what's even scarier? Star scream was a better person.
Still sad it didn’t get explored more. On the other hand I’m wondering if better person Starscream could still be Starscream.
@@zzz7903 I think so. You can be a good person, and still be an insufferable ass.
That Starscream voice is such a perfect fit. Literally the best roast Starscream has ever done.
Tron accepted death, until starscream roasted him so bad, he chose to live, just to spite star
this Starsccream would be TERRIFYING as a lawyer.
Well? He managed to keep Megatron from being executed, and as a bonus, he made Megatron want to live again, even if it was out of pure spite. LOL. Starscream roasted Megatron until he turned to ash from being so burned.
@@Anoriki-ob8zx Pretty much lol
Megatron really has great talent for surviving. Anyone else who took that roasting would have died on the spot.
I love Optimus' voice, so soothing
Well... megatron did deserved that... and far worse. Even he himself knew that.
probably it hurts him more that starscream told to show mercy to megatron.
After seeing the Megatron Spotlight comic... Glorious...
I rlly love how at 1:28 IDW Starscream was like ehhhhhhhh bc after Prime was like: "todays not about you Starscream." Starscream was like I DON'T GIVE A SH*T about any of this and I can say whatever I want to say
Starscream sounded like a true politician
I bet Megatron is using every ounce and fiber of his being to not pounce on Startscream for basically calling him a bitch.
Killed sentinel prime
Killed zeta prime
Kied orion pax and ariel ordered their co workers killed includind dion
Killed millions took over cities
Killed emirate xaron
Killed millions throughout the galaxy
Taught ironhide a lesson about heroic nonsense
Blows springers head off
Attached ratchets head to a sled
Ripped cyclonus head off
Rips off bludgeon head
Crushes fastbreaks head
Crushes brawls face
Tore override to pieces
Willing to sacrifice anyone to achieve his goals
Killed optimus prime
Tbf, Sentinel deserved it in every iteration.
I think Starscream enjoyed that. A LOT.
Objection! Witness’s referral to Shockwave and Scorponok sidelining Megatron is only valid in the Marvel continuity!
XD Exactly!
Doesn't Starscream have a weird spark? One that allows him to never die even if his body is gone, and can remember stuff from multiple timelines?
@@9751matt he’s immortal in some universe and this one time there was a Starscreams-specific afterlife
Good lord!! The pure inhumanity of this roast,..... FATALITY!!! 😂😂😂
Starscream had like five minutes to get back at him after all that suffering, especially after what we saw in the spotlight megatron chapter, so i can't blame him XD. it just worked against him.
Ah yes i loved this IDW version from the comics.
ten minutes of optimus cosplaying as star convoy
Star scream: starts talking with big words
Me: I like your funny words magic man
The only time I acually had respect for Starscream
This is the second time I respected stars scream (the first was for armada starscream ).
That time he razed the senate at his own trial, that time he was actually a good boss and saved the coneheads, that time he took out Slug while being cornered by Autobots and later charged into Metroplex’s head looking glorious in the Armada body and holding two flaming swords (no idea where these came from but they were cool), that time he shot a Titan to save Windblade, that other time he shot a titan to save WB, that time he changed his election speech, that time Optimus was his payload, that time he worked his diplomatic charms and turned the Insecticons to his side, and most of all that time he carried a barely functional Megs from the battlefield (although it was kinda undermined later).
......I just want a competent Starscream and not the more common “I put my complete trust in Bludgeon” (I’m okay with him tripping over his own ego and schemes, but there’s a fair distance between head of the Seekers and Swindle).
Also jet fights are cool.
I never liked Starscream but my jaws dropped at this part
Wow. That was brutal. Starscream just roasted him alive.
Optimus looks kinda funny in a crown....
You can tell by now he says it, this is starscream getting his own back for everything Megatron did to his, and you can tell how satisfying it is for him to say all this, with zero repercussions.
I'm consider this to be an alternative Universe to the Starscream Armada
This is an excellent view of Megatron, but it makes it all the better for Megatron when he changes his plea and finds his loophole to escape sentence and Starscream loses his shit that Megatron actually might get away with his life
I can only hear some weird British guy when I hear Starscream talk here.
The shade ... lol 😂
And in typical Starscream fashion... this failed spectacularly
bro had him living out of spite, it very much succeeded as a life changing roast
Or alternativelly, it succeeded spectacularly.
It drove Megatron into trying to leave behind a better legacy than... _everything that Starscream laid out._ And consequently, led to Megatron's true redemption and the ultimate salvation of all, including in another dimension.
Megatron was simply willing to accept execution here and leave it at that.
Starscream's speech spurred him to do great deeds of good and ultimatelly even save everyone. Good going, Starscream! 👍
I like Prowl's voice.
Prowl was so corrupt in this series you wonder if him, prime, Megatron and screamer was all in cahoots along with shockwave this while time
This was fantastic!! Excellent job!
"I know him...intimately." welp, now we know why Megatron kept his worthless ass around so long, besides being his "whipping boy."
The bloopers are great
Hi annie. You want to be friends?
Hi Annie.
I don't know why I was waiting the cornered theme of the videogame Ace Attorney: Phoenix Wright hehehehehe.
But well, Starscream have a nice voice. good work.
Am I hearing Freeza speaking or an Decepticon seeker.
PLEASE MAKE MORE!!!
We're planning one doing one for 32, if there's anything awesome enough.
Clan Cur Sure dude, need anything send me a message
This is why you keep your friends at arm's reach.
"I know him, intimately" Wait, what?
Froztarlozt intimately does not have to mean romantic in nature.
Dalton Lang no romance in that butt play
...and the fandom goes wild XD
Yeaaah, cause " he used to fuck my butt, I was his whore" sounded bad 😁
The others stated that their use of sexual language was *very* intentional
No worries starscream megatron will come in to give u the beating u so desperately asked for that dread heart attack of a speech u gave to pierce his pride and dignity.
*Destruction 100*
This voice acting is on point.
Oh god i can feel a second hand Burn
Wouldn’t it have been utterly hilarious if Soundwave was the defending attorney?
How was Starscream chosen as Cybertron’s leader?
An Election.Citizens voted to him.After decepticon autobot war was over it wasnt a problem that a Decepticon can run for president
simply put: Right place, right time, right words.
a brawl between some ex bots and cons started. starscream interveened and too the higher moral ground.
many neutral saw this and named him the best fit for cybertron's leader.
@Vlad 117 aka the neutrals are dolts
Starscream defected to run for ruler and the NAILs basically thought he was the best person for the job after he killed Metalhawk and made it look like he was killed in the decepticon attack, the nails are idiots so they were easy to convince the Autobots and the decepticons knew better though, even wheeljack who was closest thing Scream had to a friend knew he couldn’t entirely trust him, either way it all eventually comes back to bite him
Now thats a really good payback
whirl and arcee are buds in the background. nice
Starscream has paid for his treachery
ALL HAIL MEGATRON!!!
*uh sorry bro but you don’t defend abuse no mater how evil the person is*
EMMMOTIONAL DAMAGE
Optimus of all bots had to tell Starscream to stop talking about himself!
That was wonderful. Great job!
Megatron when i well be back as a decepticon i well make you pay
This is SO good!
subscribed this made me laugh Starscream is such a troll
I would love to voice megatron.
