I'm with you - did not overly love it (and I loved TF Animated). I felt that it made Windblade fragile and less interesting.

For those who may not know, that's the style of Japanese comic book that's targeted at females (e.g. Sailormoon, Utena, Rayearth et al.) - and not surprisingly, Starscream is looking rather Biseinen ('beautiful man', e.g. Weiss Kreuz, Kenshin etc.).
The bishojo characterisation were exactly what lessened my interest - especially that girly moment between Windblade and Chromia before Windblade flew off in search of Ironhide. Definitely liked Starscream's characterisation and art making him dangerous and conniving.
