Oh geez that makes a lot more sense now. No matter how many times Starscream could make a play for leadership, Megatron will always let him live, sparing him once more until the day he’s had enough of toying with Starscream.
I don't agree. The bird actually likes Starscream and *never* attacked Starscream! The bird, unlike starscream, has no *destructive weapons* and is puny, insignificant!
I do love how this shows that, At least until Starscream got overconfident and closed into close range he could out fly and leverage his speed to actually hold his own vs Megatron at range. But it's his own hubris and delusions of grandeur that got him too close, because he can never match Megatron in raw power. As a long time Starscream fan I love this so much.
The way he treats the bird even after getting his ass handed to him is so on brand too. Dude never learns a thing cause the abusive cycle he lives in keeps him in denial of the fact he'd actually hate most decepticon brutality.
One of the best fan works I've ever read involves Starscream having a full on panic attack trying to manage things during one of the periods Megatron is MIA, leaving him in a fugue state and slipping into a stress and exhaustion induced coma for a week. It turns out being around Megatron for so long has left him so tightly wound and paranoid that he's been getting by on stimulants and hasn't had an actual rest cycle since we'll before the fall of Cybertron, and most of his shitty planning and mania is the result of severe exhaustion and a centuries long psychotic break.
Cruelty begets more cruelty. Starscream initially didnt want to hurt the bird, simply let it go. Then after being beaten and humiliated he turns that anger and hatred onto another helpless being. Love the subtle details like that in plots, thanks for making this!
@@jamesbullo you're right, I never saw that angle. From that point of view Megatron is arguably the more merciful one as he doesnt fire his cannon at the end but Starscream shoots the bird...
@@jamesbullo Exactly, that's the angle. Starscream sadistically enjoyed showing the bird that he could crush it any time then Megatron did the same to him. Starscream felt the bird was mocking him.
Funny thing is, he missed the bird it seems. Kinda like he just didn't want it looking at him in that state, but didn't actually want to kill it. That touch gives this an A in my book. Brilliant.
At the beginning of the video it is seen that Starscream only wanted to scare the bird, he had no intention of killing it. I want to believe that Starscream didn't actually kill the bird at the end and he simply fired his laser gun near it to scare it away, as a way of telling it to "go away, don't bother me!"
He would have won had he actually kept dogfighting Megatron, after all Starscream is an Eagle while Megatron chose to use a Nighthawk (which is an attack aircraft, ya know a plane that's geared for GROUND TARGETS not dogfighting) so on paper Starscream _should_ have had this in the bag even with Megatron having stealth.
@@kabob0077 true I think adding the fact that SS is a scientist, and has been in many battles his intellect should be shown more. It seems as his envy is always shown to be his down fall too much. Making it easy for Megatron to win even dumbing down Megatron's fighting strategy in the process.
Starscream was the 2nd best Seeker after Jetfire (Skyfire) and was known for his deception in combat. Megatron did not stood a chance in aerial combat. The null ray should have shutdown Megatron even temporarily unless Starscream thought this mock battle didnt warrant his full blast which was a wrong way to think with Megatron involved where practice is life or death
There's been some decent G1 Transformers anime lately. Netflix, I believe, has the War on Cybertron trilogy (or something like that), and it was fantastic!
Excellent!! And I appreciate that you acknowledge that Starscream is actually a great soldier/ warrior. Even Megatron acknowledges this by putting up with his shenanigans. If he would just stop trying to usurp Megatron all the time, he would be a true asset.
Starscream trying take over is an asset is the reality of things. If Megatron has anyone too loyal like Soundwave, they are ignored by the others. Starscream is a lightning rod for all the things happening on the Decepticon side of things. Given the Decepticon way is the strongest leads, if Megatron can not prevent Starscream from taking his spot, he isn't fit to lead. This why Starscream is the best help he can get, as it keeps him on his toes. This means the two strongest are always at the top of the ladder. Long as Starcream believes he can overthrow Megatorn, he won't let anyone else do it first. (Why in Triple Takeover Blitzwing and Astrotrain make sure to trap both Megatron and Starscream at the same time.) He roots out any other potential usurpers, as won't let them beat him to the punch.
Love Megatron’s unique alt mode! I wish Hasbro would incorporate more new modes into the main cast like this as a way of them evolving to the present day.
Honestly, this would be the best introduction anyone could have to starscream and Megatron. Not only is it amazing in terms of style (music, animation, fight choreography), it shows off their character perfectly.
3:04 That shot of King Starscream will always give me chills. A perfect representation of Starscream's greatest desire: usurp Megatron and become the leader of the Decepticons.
Should have just stayed in his alt-mode and won by dogfighting Megatron, Megs chose a plane made for CAS and precision airstrikes while Screamer's a purpose-built air superiority fighter with a 104 to 0 Kill-Loss ratio, on paper even with stealth Megatron is simply outmatched... But this is Starscream we're talking about so of course he had to make what would have been a surefire win into a massive loss by choosing to not play to his strengths. Starscream had a chance, he really did, but his arrogance matches his cowardice.
@@toyocolla That's why you always bring a Multi-Role to those missions until verified they really ARE just missions where you're killing ground assets. Also a good idea to have a Foxhound on standby in case the mission pulls a Magic Spear... Oh and slightly off topic but I swear anytime I see the words "MISSION UPDATE" the sound from Ace Combat 4 plays in my head...
As a 44 yr old G1 transformer fan, I love your videos! As always, Hasbro is dropping the ball by not backing up the Brinks truck to your door to make an official series.
The parallel between Starscream and the bird. That shot at the end where it seemed like Starscream wanted to capture or hold it again, only to shoot it (though missed) to vent his frustration with himself. Amazing scene.
This is absolutely beautiful. The coloring, the camera work, the voice work...perfection. I love how Megatron's G1 robot design incorporated the new vehicle mode parts without taking away from the classic look. I would sit and watch an entire series in this style.
I like the similarities between starscream and the bird and megatron and starscream! Both could’ve crushed the lesser, but spared them out of cruelty. Great touch !
With X-men 97’ being so amazing.. This should be recognized by all, and this is the style a of animation Transformers deserves. Absolutely stunning with the voice acting, action, music and art style❤
I would’ve loved to see this fight in the G1 cartoons. We never knew if Starscream could stand a chance against Megatron in a head on fight. Starscream is one of my favorites.
@@masonmancoffey1722 basically Megatron's punching bag, Megs has anger issues so when he's mad he will go beat up Starscream and blame the reason for his anger on him even if it wasn't Starscream's fault. Megatron even chooses to let Starscream try over and over to overthrow him because to him it's entertainment, and he gets to keep his punching bag.
Absolutely perfect. As an F-15 Crew Chief, it does my heart well to see so much action with it and the G1 legacy you've continued. Well done. Keep it up. Give us some Shockwave!
This is honestly one of the coolest fan animations i have ever seen and its now even better in glorious 4K. I honestly have not loved something Transformers related this much since Transformers Devestation all the way back in 2015. Incredible job.
Giving Starscream the respect he deserves. I’ve always thought he and megatron had an interesting dynamic rife with a ton of untapped potential for story telling. That and I’ve always liked starscream the best of all transformers. Skybound just completely wasted their version of him so this is some good food to wash the taste out.
If I watch all of 87render’s 5:00 Transformers movies…one after the other, I am always 1000% MORE ENTERTAINED, even involuntarily smiling…than nearly 20 years of terrible terrible terrible movies.
Starscream's my favorite Transformer and this actually showcases one of the reasons for that. He may be a bad guy, but he's an underdog when it comes to Megatron, and a lot of times just a punching bag for him, so I wanna see him win that rivalry in the end just because he tries so hard for it. Plus Armada was my introduction to the character so that really cemented that view of him for me.
The worst part they delete all the critical comments on their trailer videos and leave only the superficial comments praising their product for something dumb like "omgush they got the mcu voice actors" or "orion pax's face makes me soyface" or whatever.
Transformers one is actually good tho. I especially love that the writers built on the already existing Transformers lore.They tooks themes/lore elements from several different Tf continuities, and created therir own world/story from them. For ex, Megatron's D-16 low class miner bot origin came from the IDW series, just like the Cybertronian caste system. Orion is also a low caste manual laborer just like he was in the G1 series (dock worker) TF One's Starscream's origin was inspird by his Aligned continuity one, and Sentinel is very reminiscnt of his TFA version. Bots being cogless during the time the Quintessons ruled also came from G1, just like the Quintessons themselves. Orion being a history nerd spending his time in the Archives trying to figure out what is wrong with Cybertron, and how to fix it is a story line taken from the Aligned continuity. (just like Megatron, Orion being sworn brothers)
HOLY SHIT!!! HASBRO!!!IF YOU SEE THIS KNOW THIS!! THIS IS WHAT WE AS FANS WANT!! I NEED YOU TO HEAR ME SAY THIS! WE DONT WANT GENDER BS IN TF SHOW WE WANT THIS!!

Freaking amazing! The designs, the animation, the colours, the sound, everything! :D Really love how the short displayed the best qualities of Starscream and Megatron, especially by making Starscream look pretty credible as a threat to Megatron while still making the latter come out on top. Very good storytelling!
You can definitely see the visual improvement from the original upload! Otherwise, it's very much the incredible labour of love it's always been! Kudos to everyone involved one more time!! 😄
@@fabiomura08 Just a resolution increase. In the original, some of the more busier moments looked like they didn't render (no pun intended!) properly on the YT upload. Everything is exactly the same, otherwise.
@@TheNovastorm I see, thank you. I was a bit worried they removed altogether the original video but it seems it's just been unlisted. Last summer Arcee - Dreams of Iacon came out, I hope this year 87Render will create a new short!
DUDEEEEE when I saw Megatron’s alt I immediately grabbed my nighthawk model and was like I KNOW THAT PLANE and it made my evening These animations are AMAZING, please keep it up!!
If only star scream were successful, like trying to go close quarters by punching Megatron.. definitely a mistake. I’d like to see star scream go through like a power up story arch to where he could actually win (I know similar stories in the different series have happened, but it’s always been baked into the plot that he would eventually lose to Megatron, like an inescapable death flag in a video game)
This is unbelievably good. All of the subsequent attempts at this franchise have completely forgotten all of the interesting military strategy behind the script, as well as all of the funny and sarcastic references to robotics and electronics during their insults towards each other.
This is such a classic starscream blunder. He does excel in certain areas, air fighting and his silver tongue, but he always overextends. he took the fight out of the air and fought megatron on his terms, in robot form, and he lost due to that. I knw, kind of stupid to analyze this, but it reminds me that i do this too. i don't keep to my area of competencies and it costs me too.
Thank you for this. A true masterpiece. Great job to all involved. Starscream is my favorite and this was perfect. The use of chaff was excellent. I love seeing countermeasures used in a dogfight.
Simply amazing...Hasbro needs to pick you up as make this into a movie ASAP! Better than almost all of the recent Transformers shows since the 80s! The voice-acting is also on point!
Sooooo I've been thinking... Do yall think so many people are drawn to Starscream because we feel he represents the worst aspects of ourselves. Because maybe deep inside we feel like cowardly losers who want recognition and respect from our peers...just a thought
This was wonderful. The only ding here would be that Starscream's laser cannon was not his G1 sound. Still, it's better than much of what we got in the last 20 years.

It still amazes me fans can make things like this and Astartes yet the best Hollywood can manage is Transformers One.
Great work!
cause fans usually don't have agendas with the creations.
hollywood nepostism go crazy
The worst part they delete all the critical comments on their trailer videos and leave only the superficial comments praising their product for something dumb like "omgush they got the mcu voice actors" or "orion pax's face makes me soyface" or whatever.
Transformers one is actually good tho.
I especially love that the writers built on the already existing Transformers lore.They tooks themes/lore elements from several different Tf continuities, and created therir own world/story from them.
For ex, Megatron's D-16 low class miner bot origin came from the IDW series, just like the Cybertronian caste system. Orion is also a low caste manual laborer just like he was in the G1 series (dock worker) TF One's Starscream's origin was inspird by his Aligned continuity one, and Sentinel is very reminiscnt of his TFA version. Bots being cogless during the time the Quintessons ruled also came from G1, just like the Quintessons themselves. Orion being a history nerd spending his time in the Archives trying to figure out what is wrong with Cybertron, and how to fix it is a story line taken from the Aligned continuity. (just like Megatron, Orion being sworn brothers)
@@pepita2437honestly, if they release a more serious teaser trailer people would’ve pack to theaters.
How does this masterpiece not have millions of views? Spectacular animation!
It's a reupload. The original has 1.5m views. TH-cam turned it into "TH-cam Kids" and disabled comments.
Not me expecting him to eat the bird.
the voice acting on starscream is perfect.
Possibly the most functional their working relationship has ever been.
Gorgeous! Why can’t we have THIS?? This is proof it can be done right!
Starscream Guardian mode... Robotech fans unite! Great work! A+++
There was a Macross Plus Easter egg as well.😊
Those weren't Robotech, they were DYRL and Macross Plus.
This is fan made ???
This is better than any transformers movies / series that are made by the big corporations.
Superb!!!
Firstly, the animation on this was incredible. Secondly... who else immediately expected Starscream to crush the eagle?
3:49 "How do you FEEL, mighty starscream?"
3:54 “m-my backkkk.. it hurts….”
Right on!!! Never hurts to have it in 4k, especially this gem of a video!
Why starscream took this to a fist fight is beyond me
Ayo!? This is awesome! G1 TRANSFORMERS FOR LIFE!
A Stealth bomber!? Nice choice for Megatrons alt-mode.
HOLY SHIT!!! HASBRO!!!IF YOU SEE THIS KNOW THIS!! THIS IS WHAT WE AS FANS WANT!! I NEED YOU TO HEAR ME SAY THIS! WE DONT WANT GENDER BS IN TF SHOW WE WANT THIS!! CLASSIC BUT ALSO NEW AGE ANIMATION STORY TELLING!! THIS IS THE BEST TF CONTENT I HAVE SEE IN THE LAST 20 YEARS GET A GRIP AND GIVE THIS CC YOUR SUPPORT!!!
This was awesome the first time around, and it still is now, in spectacular 4K!
This is how a remake of the og show would look like
Freaking amazing! The designs, the animation, the colours, the sound, everything! :D
Really love how the short displayed the best qualities of Starscream and Megatron, especially by making Starscream look pretty credible as a threat to Megatron while still making the latter come out on top. Very good storytelling!
great job! early 90s vibe and sound design is a nice touch.
You can definitely see the visual improvement from the original upload! Otherwise, it's very much the incredible labour of love it's always been! Kudos to everyone involved one more time!! 😄
Do you remember when the original one was uploaded? And what exactly are the differences, juat a change in resolution or there's some scene remade?
@@fabiomura08 Just a resolution increase. In the original, some of the more busier moments looked like they didn't render (no pun intended!) properly on the YT upload. Everything is exactly the same, otherwise.
@@TheNovastorm I see, thank you. I was a bit worried they removed altogether the original video but it seems it's just been unlisted.
Last summer Arcee - Dreams of Iacon came out, I hope this year 87Render will create a new short!
@@fabiomura08 Looks like they've been busy with other projects, so I imagine anything TF wise won't be out for quite some time, if ever.
DUDEEEEE when I saw Megatron’s alt I immediately grabbed my nighthawk model and was like I KNOW THAT PLANE and it made my evening
These animations are AMAZING, please keep it up!!
Well you NAILED the characterization and relationship of G1 Sceamer and Meg for sure. Loved the bit at the end with Megatron's "mercy".
What an incredible piece of work! A worthy homage. Props to the team!
Cool use of missiles.
It is a homage to older amines like Macross Plus.
megatron as a B2 bomber is perfect
If only star scream were successful, like trying to go close quarters by punching Megatron.. definitely a mistake.
I’d like to see star scream go through like a power up story arch to where he could actually win (I know similar stories in the different series have happened, but it’s always been baked into the plot that he would eventually lose to Megatron, like an inescapable death flag in a video game)
Finally, someone understands Transformers. Perfect.
Let’s see Devastator vs Dinobots
It's always good to be Starscream...
Yeah...... Until you realize you're basically Megatron's punching bag💀
The hawk having been spared then coming back as megatron had spared him was *chefs kiss*
Starscream has a solid complaint of harrasment he can take to HR.
I hope the deception HR department is efficient and compassionate.
The Decepticon HR Department is probably Megatron's fusion cannon.
@@mollyencrypted2488 Its also his retirement plan.
This is unbelievably good. All of the subsequent attempts at this franchise have completely forgotten all of the interesting military strategy behind the script, as well as all of the funny and sarcastic references to robotics and electronics during their insults towards each other.
Wow. starscresm pulled a macross move. This is beautiful work.
This is such a classic starscream blunder. He does excel in certain areas, air fighting and his silver tongue, but he always overextends. he took the fight out of the air and fought megatron on his terms, in robot form, and he lost due to that. I knw, kind of stupid to analyze this, but it reminds me that i do this too. i don't keep to my area of competencies and it costs me too.
Thank you for this. A true masterpiece. Great job to all involved. Starscream is my favorite and this was perfect. The use of chaff was excellent. I love seeing countermeasures used in a dogfight.
Simply amazing...Hasbro needs to pick you up as make this into a movie ASAP! Better than almost all of the recent Transformers shows since the 80s! The voice-acting is also on point!
Sooooo I've been thinking...
Do yall think so many people are drawn to Starscream because we feel he represents the worst aspects of ourselves.
Because maybe deep inside we feel like cowardly losers who want recognition and respect from our peers...just a thought
The reason Starscream is still second in command is because he can hold his own in a fight, and because he makes his commander smile
This was wonderful.
The only ding here would be that Starscream's laser cannon was not his G1 sound.
Still, it's better than much of what we got in the last 20 years.
I love the Robotech Guardian mode flip when he kicked his legs out in plane mode
This is incredible! I’d watch full seasons in this style of animation. I would love to see other properties like Swat Kats or Ronin Warriors.
Let’s start a gofundme for this guy and pay him to make more lol
