215) Starscream

The only bad guy in history whose primary threat arises in his unconquerable ability to be incredibly annoying. Even by the narrow standards set upon 1980s-cartoons-as-toy-commercial villainy, Starscream still stands out as a particularly thin caricature of evil; a castrated Skeletor with an anxiety disorder, with a voice that seems to be the result of a horrific accident involving the fusing of Paul Lynde and an auto-tune machine.


Megatron makes another good point about Starscream's inability to lead androids to a picnic. We totally forgot to even mention that.


It's worth pointing out that, somehow, given that even the most devout Transformers fans (like the guy who legally changed his name to Optimus Prime) wished someone would find a way to write wipe Starscream off the show out of existence and memory, Michael Bay still found a way to ruin Starscream.
