The Transformers Game Facebook page has updated with a bio for the Decepticon Air Commander, Starscream. As with previous bios, you get a flavor for what a boss fight with Starscream might be like – and the way it is set out reminds this fan of the Playstation 2 Transformers Armada game and its Starscream boss battles! If previous pattern follows true to form, a gameplay video showing off Starscream may follow.
Transformers: Devastation arrives on October 6 on PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Playstation 3, and Playstation 4.
Prepare… for Devastation!

An exact match to Latta is impossible because, well, Latta is deceased. However, the actor is doing very good at imitating him.
Am I alone in thinking Blum (after his great turn as the second-in-command in Prime) would have worked as G1 Starscream, just if he'd raised his voice a few octaves?

The voice may only be about 90% a match but holy shit the emphasis of the words is dead on. Whomever did the voice studied Latta and the way he'd say his lines because those are an exact match. I'm sold.

I was hoping for the original voice too.

I heard that it hurts Scott's voice to do for a long period of time that but yes it's as close as we could ever get.
How Chris did that voice…I'll never know.
Tarn the killer
The starscream voice sounds like the one from animated.

Yeah, Screamer would be the type to make fun of you and throw around a lot of insults during a fight, especially when he has the upper hand with speed, distance/range, and air superiority. Just fits in with his arrogant, only brave when he has the overwhelming advantage but is otherwise a coward, personality. I liked how he was kicking Bee around in the face in the video.

I actually love the Starscream voice, It's not too grating, but it's just high pitched enough to still be Screamy.
Also, I see they went with the classic Platinum direction of having the bosses shrieking in the background while fighting. But it really works with Starscream here. He feels like the kind of bot who would be talking to get you to drop your guard.

They nailed the Starscream voice
Raiju
Not bad for the voice. Close enough to Chris Latta to me.
Digilaut
I think the voice is fine, and better than Starscream's voice in the High Moon games. This game is looking better and better, I just hope the full game doesn't have that awful generic Japanese metal music in it. Grinds my gears. :-/

The one from that episode of beast wars where starscream takes control of waspinator is the worst for me

At least they attempted it. I hear this voice and it definitely takes me back to G1.
I'd have this over starbob screampants

Making him proud by sounding nothing like him?
UltraAlanMagnus
Or Even Nolan North with his Penguin voice.
But whoever's voicing old screamer, it certainly making Latta proud.
Newholl
He sounds like Papa Smurf on helium.
They should've gotten Scott McNeil:

Sounds like it might be either Joey Camen or Scott Whyte voicing Starscream…I dunno iv'e been watching a lot of Darkwing Duck this week and he's the voice of Stegmutt and that's what the voice reminds me of.
as for Whyte…I showed a friend the video and he thinks its Whyte…after listening to a clip of Whyte as Fizzie from Sunset Overdrive…it's somewhat close.

Um… that sounds absolutely nothing like Chris Latta. Is his voice for Starscream so shrill that it can't be imitated?
ParaChomp
That's really close to Latta. Wow…

I'm impressed by the VA!
