* TheOtherMarty: Acid Storm was originally cast in the lead role, but he left because he was dissatisfied with the script and annoyed at the constant full body paint job he had to endure. Thundercracker took over as he was the only other ‘not they could find at short enough notice that looked like Starscream and knew the script.

Directed by, written by and starring Thundercracker, this movie was initially conceived as an attempt for Starscream to win over the population of Earth following their induction into Cybertron’s Council of Worlds. But by the time it came out, not only had he been arrested, but the movie ended up going direct to streaming, due to the BoxOfficBomb of fellow Cybertronian movie ''Dark Invasion''. Though it did attract the attention of ''Space Battle'' creator J.J Hackensack, who went into business with Thundercracker to produce the Academy nominated ''The Last Laugh: A Chuckles Story''.

!!Tropes featured in ''Starscream: the Movie'' include:
* [[ActingForTwo Acting For Three]]: In addition to the lead role of Starscream, Thundercracker also cameos as himself and their former associate Skywarp, both of whom remodelled their bodies to resemble Starscream.
* AcceptableBreaksFromReality: Megatron’s interrogation at Starscream’s hands depicts him in his body from [[ComicBook/TheTransformersAllHailMegatron the initial invasion]], whereas WordOfGod is that he was in the body he wore [[ComicBook/TheTransformersIDW three years later]] at the time, for the purposes of recognition.
* BlatantLies: Starscream insisting that he did not kill Metalhawk.
* ContrivedCoincidence: Who’da think it that the two types of ‘bot Starscream wanted the assistance of in his crusade looked exactly like him?
* CreatorBacklash: Starscream grew to regret commissioning the film after his imprisonment, to the point he sent armed guards to kill Thundercracker.
* CrossCastRole: Rodimus is played by the female Flamewar.
* DarkhorseCasting: Other than Sky-Byte, none of the cast have had any known involvement in prior performing arts (Flamewar hails from a planet that dabbles in theatre, though if she ever performed there is unknown).
* GilliganCut: Starscream insisting that he’ll do anything to unite Cybertron, even if it kills him, is followed by Windblade telling him that he suffered the metaphorical “death of prison”.
* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: Zigzagged. Starscream is mostly the same scumbag he was in life, but his viewpoint is used to make him more sympathetic.
* InspirationForTheWork: Starscream was inspired by the classic film “The Birth of Cybertron”, an old Cybertronian film that dramatised the struggles of the 13 who united Cybertron.
* TheOtherMarty: Acid Storm was originally cast in the lead role, but he left because he was dissatisfied with the script and annoyed at the constant full body paint job he had to endure. Thundercracker took over as he was the only other ‘not they could find at short enough notice that looked like Starscream and knew the script.
* PurpleProse: Part of Thundercracker’s style and it pops up here.
* StockFootage: The Decepticon riot in Iacon is represented by footage of the actual riot.
* ThrowItIn:
** Starscream’s real life arrest for corruption led to the ending being rewritten to feature Windblade visiting him in prison.
** Waspinator’s cameo as “a lowly bug” seems to have been added after he walked in to pilfer from craft services.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Thundercracker initially set out to make ''Susan Journeyer'' a movie alternatively described by those who read the script as “trite” and “containing a deconstructive quality reminiscent of Film/{{Dogville}}. He abandoned it due to not feeling that he sympathised enough with the characters.
