I'm very fond of Animated Starscream, but Armada Starscream is very much up there. Unicron Trilogy Starscream in general honestly, since he's pretty good in Energon and great in Cybertron.
Well he didn't really become loyal, so much as Megatron just beat him into submission, which I find both unsatisfying and a bit distasteful. The only series that I think did that sorta dynamic well was Armada. I do like the idea of Megatron convincing Starscream to put his own ambitions to the...
My overall issue with Prime is that its writting at times comes off as "ooh, look how clever and edgy we are" without actually having the quality to make that work. Cliffjumper's death would be a prime (ha) example of that, but the episodes "Sick Mind" and "Out of His Head" would be one of the...
Rodimus should be weaker than Overlord, but also somewhat comparable to Strika's level because, like her, he survived a sucker punch from Ironhide, though he also took it worse than she did.
Also, Overlord, Tarn and Ultra Magnus should scale higher - all three are stronger than Whirl and Cyclonus, the former two strong enough to take on the entire crew of the Lost Light including them on their own, while the threat of the latter is enough to deter them from causing trouble.
Granted, he used his taser instead of trying to directly fight him. Later in the comic he gets pretty much one-shot by Bludgeon, who I think is at least not that much stronger than Slug.
Also, I think we should make a profile for Windblade, but I wouldn't know off the top of my head who she'd...
Bumblebee would also need a second key for his Goldfire upgrades, though I'm not sure what tier he'd be put in - all I can remember is him getting one-shot by Regenesis Shockwave.
Bumblebee's weaker than Skywarp, having to rely on stealth and trickery to get around him (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4U9RzIMlns). Barricade, meanwhile, at least somewhat scales to Slu

Regarding the Combiners, actually, Soundwave scales to at least Devastator, since he's harmed Strika, who herself has stopped a blow from Devastator. Granted, this was after Devastator had lost Scrapper, which weakened him, but it's still worth at least bringing up.
There's also the likelihood that the Phase Sixers got weaker over time, in addition to Optimus getting stronger. Whereas Optimus would get battered and broken while the Phase Sixers would clean shop, that'd also mean that Optimus would be rebuilt and improved while the Phase Sixers would remain...
I'd figured as much as well, but just wanted to make sure. And that's also a totally valid response, especially considering that it'd have been a younger Optimus who was likely less sure of himself, and that sort've thing's been shown to affect how well he can fight.
His reaction/combat speed feats in the cartoon include firing his blaster into orbit and dodging blaster fire from Megatron and various other Decepticons
