I scream, you scream, we all scream! It's Starscream!

Shortpacked!@TNI:  I would never condone such a thing.
Shortpacked!:  Funky phantom.

RE: Today's strip.  How much am I exaggerating?

Funky phantom.

I HATE YOU FOR THAT PUN WALKY.

I considered using it as the parody title in the strip itself, but thought "Funky Creepycreepy" both fit best with the old "Funky Cancercancer" strip, thematically, and set the tone for the rest of the strip better.

[vulgarisprime]

Fair enough.

But I still think the first should've been called "Cancer Cancerbean". It fits the original name a little better.

How long will it be until people start complaining about you trashing another "great" newspaper comic?

Because a ghost watching you make out isn't creepy at all.

New Starscream is pretty...
I still think his legs look odd for some reason, but that's the character design, not the toy.

Now that's just creepy. I never got my hands on the old starscream, how do the two transformations compare (apart from just "complicated")

Also, TNI is icon'd

Old Starscream is fairly straightforward. Arms hang under the wings, legs fold up underneath, and the hull spreads wider to make the torso. ROTF Starscream is totally different, and comes apart how the image shows.

[sonictail]

Thanks :) I wonder why they changed it so completely.

I'm guessing to avoid the undercarriage problem of the first toy.

[spiritofcat]

Looks like this new Starscream may actually be worth buying. I avoided the original toy because I disliked just about everything about it. This one seems to improve almost all those bad aspects.

a) AAAAAAAAAA NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STOP IIIIIIIIIIIT hee.
b) Unfortunately, Starscream's torso still looks like an air-vulva with distended outer labia.

Yeah, they couldn't really get around that while staying true to the vag-o-riffic design.

One of my favorite moments was when the movie site redesigned, and people ripped the images in the flash file. Piecing together Optimus and Starscream was fun, yes.... But I also have a desktop sized image of Starscream cameltoe because of it.

Oh, vagina Starscream. You are my favorite Starscream.

And oddly I have enough weird people in my life who'll probably buy that for that specific reason. They're insomniac, semi-drunk, transformer fan, World Of Warcraft gamers. With the Command & Conquer series thrown in on occasion
