个人感觉新动画里19和20对红蜘蛛的性格刻画非常成功,这里摘他几段台词(20的只是个人理解)
————
"I have been a fool. Made mistakes. Monumental once. I now realize I was never destined to be leader, or even an equal partner. And, I am at peace with that. I have gained a clear understanding of my place in the universe. Of who I am. Of who I was always meant to be. STARSCREAM: second in command, humble servant to Lord Megatron. Thank you for listening, Soundwave."
"我曾经好傻,犯过错误,也很极端。而现在我已经意识到我根本不是当领导的命,甚至连平起平坐的搭档也不够格吧。我接受事实。我也清楚地意识到该给自己的定义了。红蜘蛛: 威震天的二把手、卑微的奴仆。感谢你的倾听,声波。"
————这是紧接19,20开头里小红面对老威的"眼线"声波的一番说辞,很有意思的是声波根本一直就是一副冷漠的样子,我想不仅仅是他不会说话或者性格如此,而是面对小红这个小丑角色,其实大家都知道他又在"演戏"而已~

"I have been a fool. Made mistakes. Monumental once. But I have gained a clear understanding of my place in the universe. Of who I am. Starscream: aligned with no side; servant, to no one."
"我曾经好傻,犯过错误,也很极端。我已清楚地意识到该给自己的定义了。红蜘蛛: 不靠拢任何一方,也不效忠任何人。"
————这是20结尾呼应开头小红的一段非常类似的话……小红果然不负众望,一如既往地偏执,这只不过是他屡屡自尊受挫到某一极点的小小爆发吧——老威不信任(仔细参考19结尾处老威面对腿软的小红那意味深长的凝视),同事部下的不鸟(20开头波波的冷酷,20中间蜘蛛的嘲讽)。
