40 For 40: Transformers The Movie - #16 Starscream's Power Play

2026 marks the 40th anniversary of The Transformers: The Movie, and to celebrate that milestone, I will be counting down my favorite, most iconic moments of the movie that has been such a huge influence on my life and the content I create. It's my birthday, and in this episode, I discuss moment #16 Starscream's Power Play, where the Decepticon Air Commander learns that in the quest for leadership, time makes all things possible - especially when Astrotrain doesn't know the difference between weight and mass!
