This whole sequence was cool af

The first three Transformers films are peak cinema and one of the rare good examples of a kids cartoon redone for adult audiences. I refuse to accept any opinion to the contrary.

For all its faults, Bayformers does have some legitimately good sequences. Blackout attacking the Qatar Airbase is super good.

this beat is wild

I especially like how the other pilots wise up to Starscream's tactics and break off when he de-transforms and that one pilot barely dodges that punch thrown his way

The fantasy falls down for my when I start asking my self how did Starscream manage to infiltrate the fighter squad regarding the safety inspections prior take off or the call sign and radio chatter during flight. Or just ambushed them. Idk I haven’t seen the movie in a while.

Ambushed them as they were going in

What I would say is "Robots in Disguise".

I with they has shown more air screens with Starscream, he’s air commander for a reason because he excels is air to air combat and strategizing. He may be a cowered on the ground but when he is in the sky he has a lot of control on the battlefield

Hell Yeah I also admit this for me was one of my favorite fighting sequence for the 1st film, StarScreams entry is depicted as hard and fast just so cool to listen and watch his sick sfxs *Starscream hover sounds~ Pilot: Copy*

Starscream should always be the baddest thing in the sky.
