Ah, well, there goes taste again. I adore cartoon!G1!Starscream the same way I adore Wile E Coyote. I think it was a very good call, given TFP's tone, that he isn't always like that and he only reaches those extremes when he's already freaking out. But I do like Prime's balance. He's there to be played for laughs for a while, and then all of a sudden he does something scarily clever and competent and reminds everyone of how dangerous he really is. But, then again, that's all subjective.

they really aren't, to my mind, JUST writing for kids any more.
Not just for kids, definitely. The references alone prove it. We're still not the main target demographic, though, and while "it's for kids" certainly doesn't excuse bad or inconsistent writing, there are conventions of the genre that we're going to have to live with. I highly doubt they'll ever go really serious. (And I like that better than the darkness of the comics, but that's just me.)

But I much prefer versions of him that are regal and imposing and inspiring and Lawful Evil, like TFA Megatron or Megatron in the Origin comics.
Oh, I see how this particular Megatron might annoy you then. I get the feeling that TFP!Megatron is pretty much G1!Megatron taken seriously - it's not the eighties anymore so he's not that over-the-top, and thankfully we don't have to deal with "status quo is god" anymore, but the temper and, well, some of the flat out nuts too.

Haha, as much as I love Tumblr for the shiny, it's pretty terrible for this kind of discussion.
