Okay, I'm missing something here... Starscream is a Descepticon, one of the bad guys in the whole Transformer thing... which have been around since the early eighties... Great stories with great lessons in every eppy... and has sold a ton of toys over the last 25 years or so... I even think there's a very used (played with) Transformer or two still in the house, that the grandkids will play with when they get older...
Animie is not Cartoons, with over 300 DVDs and who knows how many VCR's in the computer/AV room around me, think of Animie more as animated TV series and movies than short 5 minute fillers...
Transformers, like GI Joe are 30 minute morality play who's whole purpose is to sell toys based on the cartoon....
just my .25
