* The Rainbow Dash/Starscream battle is the [[DavidVersusGoliath 2nd most unbalanced duel in terms of size]]. Rainbow is a pony, which is shorter than a person (about 4 feet in height). Starscream is about 20 feet tall, the size of a fighter jet.
** Notably this actually works against Starscream. He's a [[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy poor enough shot]] even when aiming at giant robots his own size- he had ''no chance'' of hitting the smaller, faster, and more agile Rainbow Dash.
* [[https://roosterteeth.com/post/51824283 The producers deliberately chose to refrain from profanity, blood, and gore during this episode out of fear that small children could find this episode online by accident. On a similar tack, had they determined that Rainbow would have lost the fight, the entire episode would have been scrapped.]]

Added DiffLines:

* Of all the WebAnimation/{{Death Battle}}s, the Starscream VS Rainbow Dash was the only one where the two combatants have the most contrasting qualities; size, gender[[note]]While Starscream's technically genderless by being a robot he identifies himself as male[[/note]], 'alignment', lifeform type[[note]]One is mechanical and the other is organic[[/note]], attack range[[note]]One has an array of ranged weapons while the other charges up close[[/note]], and trust[[note]]One is a constant backstabber while the other is the very '''''spirit''''' of loyalty[[/note]].
* The Starscream/Rainbow Dash fight was a combination of three fan requests. Firstly, having one of the ''Tranformers'' fight. Secondly, having any of the Mane 6 fight (all six of the main characters in ''Friendship Is Magic'' have their, for want of a better term, buff and nerfs, but in the end Dashie was chosen). Thirdly, mostly by the vocal non-brony population, having something huge (with no conceivable chance of losing) fight one of the ''My Little Pony'' characters. Needless to say, [[ShownTheirWork after doing the research]], they concluded that Starscream had no chance against Rainbow Dash.
