TF:P Starscream Redesign

Description

Just my take on what Starscream would have looked like if I was in charge of Transformers Prime's design team. Yes, I do fantasize about this.

His jet mode isn't really any type of real-world jet in particular. I just drew a generic jet design and went from there. However, if you guys like to go into specifics, I'd say his jet mode is a hybrid of the F22 Raptor and the F16 Fighting Falcon.

Also, I moved his wings to the shoulders rather than having them flare out from his back, as most traditional designs do. In battle, the wings can swing forward to protect Starcsream's frame by acting as makeshift shielding.

I also decided to give his forehead spike some functionality by having it be a sort of antenna for sending and receiving communications. Being the sneaky bastard he is, Starscream can also use it to eavesdrop on his superiors.

Like in the show, he is unable to fly while in robot mode. However, he can kick in his back mounted afterburners for some extra speed while sprinting, and he can also flare out his wings and control surfaces, allowing him to glide to an extent.

Starscream's optics have been changed to orange. The reason for this, is that Starscream's orange optics contain software that allow him to see in a much wider visual spectrum than standard issue red optics, which is especially useful when flying in low visibility conditions.

Finally, his colors have been changed to red and not-quite-black. 'Cause red and black is an awesome color combination. :D

I like the way you fuse both G1 and Prime's designs to make this.
