If there's anything the Transformers movies are infamous for, it's the one-dimensional characters. The robots themselves can be quite terrible, sometimes being lazily adapted from their source material and becoming annoying or even useless. It even seems at times that certain characters were made as completely different versions from their original selves, with Michael Bay slapping a Transformer name onto them.

In 2007's Transformers, Bonecrusher shoves himself through a bus, cutting it in half, and fights Optimus Prime for a mere 40 seconds before he is brutally decapitated by the powerful leader of the Autobots. Transformers' de-facto king of destruction doesn't even last a minute and barely got even a few good hits on Optimus.

Jumping away from the source material is not always a bad thing, but in the case of Starscream, it serves as a major insult to the character in pretty much every way. The closest he ever gets to his genuine character is a memorable moment in Transformers: Dark of the Moon before he is embarrassingly killed, just as his character seems to be turning for the better.
