- Emperor Starscream tries to convince Windblade to back him in his political machinations... THROUGH SONG!
...
Holy moly it's finally done! I've been picking away at this board for months. Turns out it's really hard to focus on personal projects during the apocalypse. Who knew?!
Special thanks to Tumblr user Retrowave-The-Protogen (formally known as Remix-The-Triple-Changer ) for coming up with the initial mashup idea. This is your fault! XD
Anyway, I hope y'all enjoy! I had a lot of fun working on this and learned a lot along the way. ALL HAIL STARSCREAM!
Starscream makes sure the Elite Trine is prepared for no less than 10 musical numbers at any given moment.
I can't stress enough how much I agree with this.
One question
Do y'all prefer skywarp as a dude or fembot
I like the idea of more fembots
But i think skywarp as a Guy is superieur
@@thunderstrike_the_maximal fem skywarp slays so hard
@@okok-qh5de i agree
We need more fembots and femcons in transformers
And i honestly like skywarp as a guy
Plus we already have acidstorm, novastorm,slipstream....
@@thunderstrike_the_maximal and now skywarp!! :)
Skywarp teleported more in this one animation than he did in all of transformers
Except maybe idw2, skywarp really doesn't use his teleportation a whole lot does he? It's a cool ability why doesn't he use it
@@ishashifarI forgot exactly when but apparently In IDW skywarp loses his teleportation powers
I love how much of an impact Starscream’s crown alone has had on the fandom.
It is everything he's always wanted, everything he's always deserved!
He's my horrid princess with a complex 💔
All hail starscream
And this whole time I imagine Wind Blade thinking, "Star scream you and your Seekers have spent way to much time on earth and have had way to much energon."
“Go home Starscream! You’re drunk!”
No, that's just what he's always like. He is Starscream, of course he's over the top and things.
2:06 I appreciated the reference that Thundercracker was in the IDW comics was able to fulfill his dream and became a screenwriter. Funny, but his first movie was a documentary about Starscream himself.
Bro where can I read it ?
@@aikotitilai3820 IDW comics Transformers.
@@aikotitilai3820 Optimus Prime Annual. I think you might be able to buy it online
Bro was fr living his best life with a dog, a human bestie, and a partnership with in-universe George Lucas.
@@minilopgamer1950 you serious?
I just noticed Winblade slowly wording ‘whaaat?’ When she sees all the crowns 🤣
And then there's Thundercracker's face in that same frame XD
And skywarp dance
So did I PS this SLAPS
2:12
Thundercracker: "And get in my Jeep!"
Swindle: "For the love of primus please put me down!!!"
Thundercracker: "Sure!" *Tosses him the in air*
If it actually was the seekers singing would the line be “come kill the jeep” or “pick up a jeep” or something on those lines. I wonder if they knew Wind blade would catch him?
wait that was Swindle,my poor baby,NO!!!
I thought this was prewar and then dead bumblebee showed up lol
Jjjjkkwkwllollpllmmmmm,
Pre-war for Cyberverse maybe, but dead Bee confirms this is IDW
Isn't... Cliff jumper?
@@BanditoChipito the ghost is yellow not red
@@hydragonz.b.1508 why is that the first the reason why it's bumblebee. They dont look *that* similar....
Do they?
Why is no one talking about the captions which have the lyrics change a bit to fit the Transformers universe and the seekers’ singing? It’s absolutely gold
Thank you! I've watched this animatic more times than I would admit and I've nevet noticed them before! :)
I never looked at the captions ahhh thank you for pointing that out! It's actually really cool haha
Starscream - are you trying to get me to talk about myself? Because if you are....I will gladly do so! In song form!
Yeah from moana right?😮😂
0:11 I wonder if this has happened before, considering everyone's faces. Also I love how that one guy is taking the opportunity to look at his buddy's cards.
Starscream is overdramatic enough that people probably wouldn't be surprised if he vroke out into song lol
Must be Swindle then
*Starscream breaks into dramatic musical, entrances or complains.*
Random Cybertronian: "Ohh, so it's tuesday already?"
WOW! AMAZING STORYBOARDING! 🤯
HI JOHNNYFLASH!
Hey Johnny!
JOHNYFLAAAAAAASH!!!!!!!!!!
Oh Primus have mercy on our souls. Hi again there Johnny
Hi Johnnyflash
Megatron's credit card: (Exists)
Starscream: *It's free real estate.*
I love how Skywarp's Teleportation and Thundercracker's Directing skills were here :D
THIS WAS THE GREATEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFEEEE I LOVE WHEN STARSCREAM DOES THE "SHUT UP HEATHER" BIT AND KEEPS SINGING WHILE GOING THROUGH ALL THE CROWNS, BUT ALSO I LOVE ALL OF IT, IT'S BEAUTIFUL
Yes
... I wish this actually happened
Always has been
who else but starscream
I'm sorry but they look like a bunch of gremlins trying to convince someone to help them pull a hundred pranks more than like back-stabbing politician XD
this is so awesome!!!!!
If this was Skywarp leading the song, it would totally be their intent xD
I adore simply everything about this. The expressions, the little touches here and there of the background characters, Bee's ghost, it's all brilliant mate.
I thought that was cliffjumpers ghost
@@ItsaMystery-nz2ru it’s Bee! bro died and haunted Starscream in IDW. He actually became one of Starscream’s closest advisors, and Starscream mostly just spent his time either arguing with or trying to ignore Bee. Then flipped out when Bee got mad at him for awhile and disappeared. At the end they swapped places.
HOW THE HELL IS THIS BOTH SO IN CHARACTER AND SUCH A GOOF AT THE SAME TIME!?!?!?
I LOVE IT!! The expressions, the fluidity, the characterization match ups-! AHHHHHHHH I LOVE IT SO MUCH!
Because starscream is a perfect blend of goof and maniacal
Agreed with both
He’s goofiacal.
I KNOW RIGHT honestly Starscream is just really dramatic lmao
I’m going to list every detail of this animation that I just adore.
(I mean it. every detail.)
0:00 Blurr
0:10 Background character looks at another’s cards.
0:29 Skywarp teleports before Windblade could hit him.
0:39 This entire segment. Especially Skywarp teleporting.
0:58 Absolutely nailed the perspective.
1:22 Swindle!
1:25 SS’s movement for some reason
1:30 Windblade brings Swindle to the ground
1:38 The animation is so dang fluid
1:54 “You can fly with F-15 Eagles”
2:02 Dead Bumblebee
2:09 Thundercracker and his screenplays
2:14 Skywarp dancing, Windblade in awe, and Thundercracker dizzy.
2:25 Again. The animation is so fluid.
2:38 That smug smile
Idk about Windblade, but I’m convinced
Y e s
Same
Holy Shit! Watching Scream’s crown hall transform into a narcissistic paradise throne room, you have got some incredible talent and patience to keep that all synced up!
Megatron; “STARSCREAM STOP SPENDING MY MONEY ON MY CREDIT CARD>:(!!!!!”
This was gorgeous, and i KNOW this is post war idw but i can’t help love the idea that moments later Megs bursts in with his usual “STAAAARSCREEAAAAAAAM”
"Who Dares to interrupt my Coronation!"
"Coronation Starscream, this is bad comedy!"
I have never needed a transformers musical more in my life oh my GOD
this is done WAY too well to be a heathers song animatic
1tgtu5 yy d
1:07 Optimus the fricking Prime making a drop in cameo
Starscream’s seeker team being a trio of mean girls? This is fire.
You just made me imagine Transformers Musical for a better part of the day- especially Starscream and how his overdramatic nature fits musicals just perfectly
Oh, and this animation is great! So full of life and each character feels right with their quirks like Skywarp teleporting just for the sake of teleporting - something he would undoubtedly do on a musical number. I just love this so much??
This is better than most things in the universe. If ever animated, I would be happy to animate as many seekers as possible for the chorus dancers. Cone heads included
Is no one going to comment on how in the part where he says "Maxing Dad's credit card",Megatron's face pops up?-
MEGATRON IS SCREAMER'S DAD-
Wow what a distinctional family lol
@@ghaniKSW2 Decepticons.
I love this, especially how Skywarp will just teleport. He seems proud of his odd ability
2:06 I appreciated the reference that Thundercracker was in the IDW comics was able to fulfill his dream and became a screenwriter. Funny, but his first movie was a documentary about Starscream himself.
Hsnsgsnahd when Scream shows off his crowns you can see Windblade mouth "what" in the background lemme get a timestamp... 2:16
"This slaps my entire bod"
-Big Joel
holy SHIT this slaps, you've made everyone so expressive!! all of the little details with background characters and the environment make this come to LIFE,, everyone's movements are so fluid even through the animatic framerate and the variation of the pov shots and just. wow!! your style is super distinct and dynamic man, great job on this!! :D
so nobody has commented on how Starscream has like a thousand crowns because he is a diva?
Well, how else is he going to find a replacement when Megatron inevitably interrupts his coronation?
He's either rich as hell, plundered other giant planets, might just have enough science and craftsmanship knowledge to obtain gold and make them himself...or he probably just found them inside Prime tombs.
Or just used Megs' credit card.
@@clownplayer7265 given that its Starscream, the second option is the more likely
Holy mother of- You the backgrounds, the expressions, the body language, how smoothly it went together. This was amazing, just hands down one of the best animatics I've seen in a while.
What I wouldn’t give for a complete version… or a rendition of this song that fully follows the subtitles.
Candy store starscream?
This is bad comedy
It's actually very good
"The seekers are a group of elite flyers on charge of some of the most dangerous works for the Decepticons. The main heads are composed by the cunning and cruel leader Starscream, the brutal and merciless Skywarp and the brooding and efficient Thundercracker. They're among the most threatening decepticons of all time."
Also said seekers: *Make a musical around all Cybertron.*
What can I say even the most skilled warriors can have a little fun once in a while which comes in the form of flying and singing 😂
THIS IS SO WELL ANIMATED?? SO WELL MADE?? ALSO BEES GHOST MADE ME LAUGH SO MUCH?? This is literally so so good oh my gooooosh I love this Love love it!!! I'm gonna rewatch this To Death!!
Word!
This is only makes you feel like transformers character should have musical numbers
I know! It should totally be a thing!
I love the bit with who I assume is hound being picked up by Thundercracker
It was swindle because swindle has the fron of the Jeep as his crotch
@@decepticonleadermegatron5239 The gold color and purple outline would make sense.
*SCREAMS OF DELIGHT* OH MY GOD YES!!!!!!!! Since I first heard the song I felt it was a Starscream/Elite Trine type song and I am SOOO HAPPY to see I was not the only one (and that someone with the artistic skill and drive to make this is one of them). I love that Star, Sky and TC aren't copies, their personalities shine in their designs, and yes, all the background characters, and that Windblade looks a bit lost throughout it all it so great!!! A+++, this is going in my faves.
This is ASTOUNDING! Oh my god! The movement is so fluid! It's so well-blocked. I can't stop watching it. It's so reassuring to know that there's other Transformers fan-theatre kid-hybrids out there.
I have never seen something that fits starscreams personality so freaking well. He is just the popular girl at school. This video is amazing I love that you included thundercracker and skywarp! Thank you for this.
Words cannot express how perfect this is, the motions, angles, it’s so fluid. The song fit the characters perfectly and I loved the little expressions, and the inclusions of each of the characters individual little quirks. I hope this gets a lot of attention, very well done.
I can picture starscream primping himself on cyber tron blasting this singing like a broadway reject lmao its perfect then when autobots catch him he whips around and yells “Shut up Heather”⚡️⭐️
2:10 immediately we knew the seeker was thundercracker
I LOVE THIS SO SO MUCH EEE! THIS FITS STARSCREAM AND THE SEEKERS SO WELL AA! I love how you draw bots sm!
Exactly
I love this, it's so well done, the expressions, the choreography, the whole scene-setting is great. (Funny was my brain totally was hearing Screamer's voice echoing the lyrics lol)
I love this way too much, the perspective, movements, and actions in this animatic is just too smooth, accurate, and expressive!!!
AND THE WAY THAT WINDBLADE'S MOUTHS "what" IN THAT SCENE- ughghghhgh
this is wayyy too underrated and deserves more attention!
I don't know how to describe how much I love this. Seekers and Heather are two of my favourite things and you made a well made animatic about those two! Forgot to mention that this is the best animatic I've seen so far. From the expression, the choreography, the environment, camera work and tiny details like the ppl in the background (ppl tend to draw them like blobs in animatics)! It's better than most animatics I've seen. And the references especially with Thundercracker in 2:07! This is astonishing.
I think I just found gold.
Skywarp looks like he's having fun
I love the Seekers unique design-style!!
We are all slack-jawed like Windblade
Of course he has a room full of crowns its Starscream
This: *exists*
Me: SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
Okay, how do you stop watching this masterpiece over and over again?
The Way The Bot In The Back Looked At Somebot Else's Cards. Makes Me Cackle Everytime. Also WONDERFUL ANIMATIC ITS AWESOME
Me: (Steps into the Transformers Husband Store)
(Points at Starscream) "That one."
I been picturing the trio singing this for years now, you made my dream came true! I love the little details, so full of life and energy!
The expressions, the angles, the story, THE ANGLES. AHHHH I love this!
oh hes so extra and over dramatic i love it. ur doing gods work here i am in SHOCK
I LOVE THIS SO MUUUUCH! There has never been a more fitting song for Starscream and his cronies. Fantastic job!
I just got into the Transformers fandom recently and WOW! This is really well done! I can definitely see Starscream singing all this lol
"Get in my jeep!"
Hound: "..What?!"
I love the visual differences between the three with the head shapes and wings, really helps differentiate TC and SK.
This just adds to why I like Starscream.
This is totally something Starscream would do. If he was a teenage girl.
I love how well used skywarps teleporting is : D
This is the greatest thing I have ever watched. I desperately need a full Starscream musical
I think about this animatic constantly to the point where I think it may well be my favourite on this entire site (and I’m into neither heathers nor transformers!). Every little detail is perfect, each character’s personality is put across so well, the whole thing is fluid and dynamic and has so much energy to it that I never tire of watching it. The quality is literally professional. Just... thank you so much for making this, I hope it was as fun to make as it is to watch!
This is legit just so perfect. The expressions!!! The lil wiggles they do! I can't get over how well done this is!
Loved the detail of Skywarp teleporting to catch up
I did an earthrise Skywarp teleport video
This is amazing! I can't stop re-watching it! Incredible work! It makes me wish that there was a Transformers cartoon that was a musical
Hey ultra good to see you here. I imagine this with strika,thunderblast and slipstream main Heather would you?
The amount of personality this was! 😭😭😭 I'm in love!!
This is so incredible!!! Oh my goodness, the expressions, the camera work, the little jokes and references, the concept itself?! All absolute perfection. I enjoyed every second of this. I haven't loved an animatic this much in a long time. Truly awe-inspiring work.
So this is how the seekers met windblade in cyberverse, valid
For the love of primus Hasbro make this a movie or even a short I just need to see this with voice actors that fit the characters and would love to hear Prime screamer with this.
You're absolutely insane, this is such a cool animatic!!!
The details, the fluidity, the *sass*, it's great!
I’ve never heard of heathers until this video but i enjoyed it so much! I literally search up the musical and watched other animatics but i still feel yours is the best. It must took a lot of effort for it to look this amazing. Now i can’t stop rewatching it’s so good 😭😭
This is absolutely fucking PHENOMENAL!! I have no other words that I can use to describe how WELL DONE THIS IS!! Like OH MY GOD?? The DETAIL! THE FLUIDITY!! THE TALENT!! I need the whole musical animated now. Omg *passes out*
I fucking agree, Transformers+music/songs is what we need
1:21 OK STARSCREAM BODY THAT AIR SHIMMY AT “LETS GO TEAR UP SOMEONES LAWN”
This is amazing
I also love seeing how Starscream would totally crush it as a musical villain
0:11
I love how his hips sway when he walks! Makes him look like a Disney villain! 😂
Omg guys imagine this as a fully fledged animation, but it’s amazing anyway
THIS SLAPS AND MADE MY WEEK!!! THE STYLE. THE EXPRESSIONS. THE SASS. STUNNING 10 OUT OF 10 RECOMMEND AGAIN! Amazing job!
At 2:39 though. I love that you consider and see Starscream and Megatron as father and son. And not like the others who ship them in the most disgusting way romanticizing the abuse happening between them.
Oh my gosh....this is so good it should be ILLEGAL :D
Seriously, fantastic work here! The changing angles, especially while they're flying, the expressions, the energy, the timing - everything is just - so GOOD. I'm admittedly not even a fan of Heathers, but this song worked really nicely here. If you ever end up making any more content related to this AU of yours - I'd watch or read the heck out of it. (Not to mention, all your other art/animations are awesome as well!)
So starscream in every show..
Except ch1 and 2 of unicron trilogy
The way you included all their distinct personalities !!! And it’s all so fluid the flying scenes are beautiful this is just so cool
This just matched so perfectly to starscream he's a stiletto heel a hole but this is just perfect. Who can be mad at him when it's funny. 😅😂🤣👍❤️
I absolutely adore this! Your style is so expressive and fun! Also, not to be controversial or anything, but this is more interesting and has more plot and character to it than most of what transformers slaps their name on lmao
Petition for a Transformers Musical- my god I crave for it
I didn't think a Musical would work. But damn dude. This was really cool to watch :3
Holy shit! THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE ANIMATIC BRO, THIS WAS SO WELL DONE, THE MOVEMENT, THE TRANSFORMATION SCENES, THE CHARACTER DESIGN. UGH, LOVED IT!
I especially, especially enjoy the flying scenes. Damn! You inspire me so so much!
thundercracker being betrayed as a lot nicer in comparison to starscream and Skywarp is just perfection
This is amazing! I actually imagined Starscream and his trine singing this!
no one gonna talk about how Swindle got kidnapped and got dropped from hundreds of feet in the air and now has ptsd?
The animation is amazing! I clicked because I love the seekers, and then realized it also fulfilled my latest obsession in candy store! And it has plot too?? Following a definitive narrative?? Aaaaaaa this is perfection!
WHY WAS THE "KICKING NERDS" SO SMOOTH OML- I love this so muchhhh
This is GORGEOUS. The anatomy is beautifully drawn!
This is inspiring me so much! Love all the angels and dynamic shots, also this really fits screamer
