* OffWithHisHead: Towards the end of the first film. This time it's permanent

to:

* ObviousStuntDouble: Frenzy was one of the few characters who got a physical prop[[note]]the others being Bumblebee, Skorponok's head and tail, and Megatron's frozen lower half[[/note]], and the puppet has a very limited range of movement which contrasts heavily with CGI Frenzy's hyperactive behavior.

* PragmaticVillainy: In ''The Last Knight'', even Megatron knows that Berserker is a nasty piece of work and would cause more trouble than he's worth, and politely agrees to pass on him in favor of Onslaught.

* PragmaticVillainy: In ''The Last Knight'', even Megatron knows from plenty of experience just how dangerous armed humans can be to Cybertronians, so instead of breaking his troops out of prison he opts to take some hostages and negotiate their release instead.

* AnimalMotifs: His robot mode has some predatory avian features, including talon-like feet, backward-kneed legs, and what looks like the tip of a beak in his mouth. Much like Shockwave and Nitro Zeus later on, the shape of his head also bears a resemblance to a praying mantis.

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationDyeJob: Instead of the variety of colors that the Deceptions sported throughout their various incarnations, nearly every single one of them in this series is grey or black. The major exceptions are the Constructicons and even then they deviate heavily from their original uniform green and purple.

** In a CallBack to the above, Starscream attacks a group of Helicarriers in a similar way in ''Dark Of The Moon'', diving down at them in his Robot Mode from a nearby tall building, then clinging onto and cutting them apart in mid-air with his sawblade arm.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: According to tie-in comics, he doesn't believe in Optimus or Megatron; his only goal is to save his species from extinction. Website/TFWikiDotNet even refers to him as "a hero on the wrong side".

* DavidVsGoliath: Gets killed by Jazz in ''VideoGame/TransformersTheGameConsole'' who's about a third his size.

to:

* DavidVsGoliath: Gets killed by Jazz in ''VideoGame/TransformersTheGameConsole'' who's about a third his size. In the DS game he goes down at the hands of Ratchet, who is only a bit bigger than Jazz.
* DecompositeCharacter: As Soundwave was ultimately excluded from the 2007 film, Blackout assumes some portions of the role that would've gone to him. His personality as the diehard Megatron loyalist is also taken from Soundwave.


Added DiffLines:

* GlassCannon: In the DS games while he's huge and powerful, he lacks the durability that Brawl has or the speed of Barricade or Starscream, meaning he's rather weak for a Decepticon of his size.


Added DiffLines:

* SacrificialLion: To a lesser extent than Barricade in the DS game. He is Starscream's first Decepticon victim in his coup now that he has the [=AllSpark=] and the way he goes down in one hit shows just how dangerous the Seeker is now.


Added DiffLines:

* VocalDissonance: He has a quiet, sophisticated voice in the games, particularly the DS games, which are a creepy contrast with his huge, hulking form.
