Starscream (WFC)
From Transformers Wiki
The name or term "Starscream" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Starscream (disambiguation). Starscream is a Decepticon from the Aligned continuity family. Starscream was an Air Commander of the Energon Seekers, Cybertron's finest air warriors. His dream was to recover the Matrix of Leadership and become the Prime that would return the Transformers to the Golden Age, and he saw opportunity with the rebel upstart Megatron. A patient and polite schemer, Starscream used to wish Megatron would drop the heroic anti-caste charade and be more honest about his lust for power. These days, he alternatively wishes Megatron would stop being obsessed with his lust for power and chafes under having to work for such a madman. While he serves as Megatron's right-hand man, he constantly looks for a way to become the commander himself and Megatron knows it: Starscream's extremely volatile personality means he is not adept at hiding his true intent. Fortunately for Megatron, Starscream is prone to panic, cowardice and bombastic gestures, meaning that it'd take exceptional circumstances for Starscream to actually manage to get behind him to shove the knife in.

He may be a scientist, but we're not quite sure.
That shot was perfect, much like the one who fired it!

Starscream may or may not have had a history as a scientist. Regardless of what he did prior, in the early days before the war began he was one of the leaders of the Cybertronian Air Command. When Cybertron fell into chaos following bombings by Megatron's Decepticon followers, Starscream was posted as Sentinel Prime's bodyguard. He was with the Prime at Altihex Casino during a performance by comedian Armorhide when the Decepticons attacked. Sentinel's attempt to flee rather than fight back made Starscream ashamed of his leader, so he had Skywarp and Thundercracker take him to Kaon Prison rather than the safety of Iacon. This earned him loyalty with Megatron, but wary of how sour a revolution could quickly turn Starscream opted not to be directly involved in the gladiator's operations, posting his Seekers at Moon Base One and Trypticon Station. Megatron was intrigued by why Starscream wanted to occupy "that semi-sentient pile of junk" but despite Orion Pax's research they found no clues, with information regarding the Station seemingly censored. Whenever Starscream's Seekers were present, the Decepticons were victorious in battle against the Autobots. Starscream however, found Megatron's strategies overly convoluted. As the war devolved into a siege of Iacon, Megatron and Soundwave, by probing into forgotten areas of the DataNet, discovered Trypticon was a storage of Dark Energon, the life essence of Unicron. When questioned, Starscream explained since even the Air Command was not sure what Dark Energon was, he had forbidden its use, fearing the damage Megatron's gladiators would unleash. Megatron forgave Starscream, noting how he "was smart enough to be afraid of it", and was granted access. Starscream sent a message to the Autobots proposing a meeting. Optimus only granted him a communication channel. Starscream stated if the Autobots did not know what Dark Energon was (they did) they would need to find out and asked what would he could expect from them if something happened to Megatron. Optimus replied that he sought a just peace. Starscream said he understood, broke off the conversation and flew to Kaon Prison where Sentinel was held. Starscream offered Sentinel a chance to redeem his cowardly behavior at Altihex. The ultimate aim of this road to becoming Decepticon leader was to become Prime in a peace settlement with Optimus, and lead Cybertron back to its Golden Age. Starscream then flew to Moon Base One when Megatron ordered him to Trypticon, where he found the Decepticons had invaded the Station and slaughtered and maimed his scientists. Megatron and Shockwave forced Starscream to select two survivors to absorb Dark Energon, for what was a successful experiment. Requiring more for the Decepticon war effort, Megatron ordered Starscream to capture the Geosynchronous Energon Bridge, below the ruins of Crystal City. Empowered by his first taste of Dark Energon, Starscream activated the device that transmitted Energon to the Station for it to be Darkened. But the Bridge still did not produce enough, and Starscream was ordered to find the Code Key of Power and Key of Justice to the Plasma Energy Chamber underneath the

High Council Tower in Iacon. Starscream decided it was time to release Sentinel, renouncing Dark Energon after realizing Megatron had turned his soldiers into addicts. Starscream found the Key of Power within the Hall of Justice and flew underground to find his plan had failed, as Megatron had mortally wounded Sentinel. He could see within Sentinel's body was the Key of Justice, but was prevented from taking it by Blackout. Megatron fought Starscream to a standstill, sparing him because he realized he was a better soldier than a would-be example. As Megatron entered the Chamber, Teletraan-1 activated the legendary Omega Supreme to fly it away. Aware Starscream had a better chance of escaping Omega's awakening, Megatron ordered Starscream and his Seekers to down Omega, in exchange for more Dark Energon. Giving up on his attempt to give up his addiction, Starscream gleefully accepted and they successfully blew Omega out of the sky, allowing the Decepticons to retrieve the Chamber and corrupt the core. As Cybertron became uninhabitable, the Autobots left on the largest starship ever built - the Ark . Starscream left the planet with Megatron as they gave pursuit on Trypticon, now a Nemesis-class supercruiser. The two ships entered a space bridge, which separated the two ships to unknown parts of space... Exodus

Fall of Cybertron comics

Visiting Shockwave's citadel to check up on his research, Starscream was annoyed to find that the scientist was prioritizing his experiments on Insecticons over supplying the Decepticon war effort with more energon. He failed to see how the "bugs" would win them the war but gave up on trying to convince Shockwave otherwise, choosing to let Megatron deal with him instead. Secrets Starscream later participated in Megatron's assault on Autobot City. Last Stand While Grimlock's mind was suffering from Shockwave's experiments, he had a vision of himself being approached by Starscream and throwing him into a nearby console. Fall
Prime comic
Starscream had been on Earth at some point, but was assigned by Megatron to scour the galaxy for remnants of space bridge technology. Returning to their dead homeworld, Starscream built a weapons lab in Kaon and began building a space bridge. He was informed by his Vehicons elsewhere they had apprehended the Autobot spy Cliffjumper. Later, after basking in the glory of successfully activating the space bridge that would return them to Earth and its Energon, Starscream realized Cliffjumper was present. The Autobot claimed to be freed by his captors after defecting to the Decepticons, and warned them of Arcee: this ruse successfully distracted Starscream long enough for Arcee to activate and overload the space bridge, but he jumped in after them moments before the lab was blown sky high. Falling to Earth, a dazed Starscream picked up a bunny rabbit, commenting that humans were smaller than he remembered. Scanning a fleet of jets flying

overhead, he found Cliffjumper and Arcee driving on a road and launched a missile at them. He picked up Arcee's blown off arm and started battering Cliffjumper with it, but the Autobot blew up the rock formation above them and crushed Starscream with the rubble. Having received Starscream's signal, Breakdown came to his rescue, and the duo pursued and overwhelmed the Autobots. Just as Starscream was about to send them back to the AllSpark, Optimus jumped and landed on him, while gunning Breakdown away. As Starscream greeted his opponent, Bumblebee tapped him on the shoulder and sent him flying. Optimus opted not to finish the job, allowing Starscream to escape and fight another day as he got Cliffjumper and Arcee to base.

Prime cartoon
Voice actor: Steve Blum (English), more Before Starscream joined Megatron and the Decepticons, he was commander of a squadron of Energon Seekers on Cybertron. Partners Following the Great Exodus, Starscream intercepted a coded Autobot transmission and managed to trap Arcee and Cliffjumper. When his interrogation methods failed to extract anything he could use to decode the transmission, he took them to Shockwave, who used a cortical psychic patch on Arcee and revealed the transmission to be from Optimus Prime on Earth. Upon being questioned by Cliffjumper of his lack of bravery, Starscream tried to kill the Autobot only to be captured by Arcee. Upon being threatened by Arcee he cracked and revealed Shockwave's plan; to build a space bridge under Kaon. Starscream was then knocked out but regained contentiousness and perused the two Autobots to the space bridge. Unfortunately the space bridge was destroyed with Shockwave, Cliffjumper and Arcee still inside but Starscream was

able to escape. Starscream presumably took the Decepticons to earth via the Nemesis soon after.
Out of the Past
When the Decepticons arrived on Earth, Starscream scouted an old Decepticon ship called the Harbinger that had crashed landed years back. However he failed to record the coordinates of the crash site or find the Immobilizer. Partners In time, Megatron departed Earth to gather an army out in space, leaving Starscream in charge. Starscream spent his time sending out Decepticon grunts to search for Energon deposits Darkness Rising, Part 2 , and managed to set up a lucrative energon mine in secret. Rock Bottom Three years later, one of Starscream's energon searches was interrupted by Cliffjumper. Once Cliffjumper was defeated by the Vehicons, Starscream personally killed the Autobot. Soundwave alerted him to Arcee's location, and Starscream decided she would be their next target. Later, when Soundwave received a signal from deep space, Starscream hesitantly opened the space bridge for Megatron's return. Darkness Rising, Part 1 Megatron revealed to Starscream that he'd brought back Dark Energon, and Starscream provided Cliffjumper's corpse so they could test the substance's reanimation properties. When the undead Cliffjumper's signal led the Autobots to the mine, Starscream blew the facility up on Megatron's orders.
Darkness Rising, Part 2
Following a test of Dark Energon on himself, Megatron took off for parts unknown, leaving Starscream in charge once more. When Soundwave picked up Agent Fowler's transmissions, Starscream had the human captured and began trying to extract the location of the Autobot base from him. Darkness Rising, Part 3 The interrogation almost succeeded, but for the arrival of Arcee, Bumblebee and Bulkhead who, after a standoff, forced Starscream to retreat. Once Megatron returned to the ship, he was outraged at Starscream's actions and proceeded to beat his subordinate for "delaying his plans". Starscream managed to quell his master's anger by announcing he had a way to get their plans back on course. Darkness Rising, Part 4 As it turned out, his plan was to send Soundwave down to use the Giant Sized Array radio telescope on Earth to set the space bridge's target. Once the bridge was properly targeted, Starscream opened it so that Megatron could throw the chunk of Dark Energon though. Starscream moved the ship back to a safe distance when the fighting on the rim of the space bridge became more intense, while imploring his master to withdraw as well. Alas, the space bridge exploded, apparently taking Megatron with it, and Starscream gave a brief eulogy before declaring himself leader Darkness Rising, Part 5 and danced in celebration while imploring the troops to chant his name. Patch
Oh my God. It's called toothpaste, use it. Starscream's speeches were poorly received. Intending to find more potentially-loyal warriors, Starscream took Soundwave to try to revive the long-dormant Skyquake. To Starscream's disappointment, Skyquake was loyal only to Megatron, and interested only in fighting the Autobots who arrived. A signal detected by Soundwave sent
"No, Mister Fowler, I expect you to be saved at the last minute!"

Starscream to the location of the space bridge explosion, where he found Megatron's body and ripped the sliver of Dark Energon from it. He was forced by the observing Laserbeak to return the body to the Nemesis, where he also learned that Skyquake had been terminated by the Autobots. Masters & Students When Wheeljack arrived on Earth, Starscream had him captured and substituted Makeshift with What'cha doin' on your back?! You should be the mission to open the Autobot GroundBridge dancing, YEAH!!!! to let the Decepticon forces into the Autobot base. Unfortunately Wheeljack broke free before the plan could succeed, and as a result, Makeshift was expelled from the Autobot base onto the Nemesis hull with an activated grenade. Starscream vacated the hull before Makeshift exploded. Con Job After Soundwave picked up on another Autobot operation, Starscream figured it was a good opportunity to get rid of the Autobots while they were distracted, and sent a squadron of Vehicons on a search and destroy mission. Convoy
*ping* "FINE! FINE! I'LL WRITE A THANK-YOU NOTE!"
To Starscream's discomfort, the crew held a vote and he was obliged to call in Knock Out and Breakdown to aid in Megatron's recovery. The discovery that an Energon Harvester was located in an museum on Earth was all the excuse Starscream needed to put that on hold, and the other Decepticons soon obtained the device for him. While they were testing it in Greece, Bulkhead attacked them and destroyed the Harvester. Deus ex Machina Starscream was irritated by Knock Out's participation in street racing, and eventually decided to make an example of him. Speed Metal Some time later, after the ship's electromagnetic shielding failed, Starscream put the Vehicons to work fixing it. "We've had too much Energon shed. I Offering Knock Out a post as second-in-command, think that a cleansing is in order." Starscream persuaded him to help convince Soundwave that Megatron was a lost cause. They were interrupted by Arcee and Bumblebee, who were doing something with Megatron's corpse, and after chasing the two Autobots off, they discovered that Megatron no longer had any brain activity. Sick Mind Overjoyed at this, Starscream began a new plan, constructing a heat ray which he attempted to use to melt a glacier to get to a huge energon deposit. Unfortunately, not only did the Autobots arrive and destroy the heat ray, but Megatron was resurrected and dragged the protesting Starscream away for punishment. Out of His Head
That's not how ATB Megatron and Starscream combine!
Starscream ended up in the infirmary as a result of Megatron's punishment, but continued undaunted in his plans. He took the chunk of Dark Energon

he'd been hiding, and went to the site of Skyquake's grave, intending to resurrect the warrior as well as imbuing himself with Dark Energon. Unfortunately the Autobots arrived before Skyquake rose, and Starscream had to retreat through the Decepticon GroundBridge, albeit minus his right arm. After subjecting himself to treatment from Knock Out, Starscream returned to the site to confirm whether Skyquake had risen, only to be attacked by Skyquake's zombified right arm. Shadowzone When Breakdown was captured to MECH, Starscream's suggestion they rescue their comrade was turned down by Megatron. Starscream went anyway, and found Breakdown had already been rescued by Bulkhead, but escorted Breakdown back to the ship. Operation: Breakdown At an old energon mine, Megatron confronted Starscream about his many transgressions and prepared to terminate his subordinate. Starscream was only saved by the arrival of the Autobots, but on escaping the collapsed mine, realized that he would have to go back in and attempt to rescue Megatron, or face his master's possible wrath later. Venturing back inside, he ended up tangling with the Autobots, and when Megatron later found him, he had been left supporting a large boulder. Rock Bottom
Damn, in another continuity the arm comes off and they mock it in this one.
Starscream was sent with Airachnid to locate the Harbinger wreck, only for the spider to leave him webbed up when it turned out the ship was broken in half and the weapon they sought was in the other half. Starscream was found by the Autobots and attempted to convince them he wanted to switch sides, even pointing them to the location of the weapon Airachnid was after. Unfortunately he let slip he'd been the one to kill Cliffjumper, provoking Arcee into attacking him. After fighting her, he was able to limp away, though he decided from then on he would be an independent. Partners Many months later, Starscream snuck on board the Nemesis to steal energon cubes and blundered into the workroom that was being used by the recently-amnesiac Optimus Prime. Orion Pax, Part 1 Starscream soon realized what was going on, but when more Vehicons arrived, he was wounded while fleeing the ship. He contacted the Autobots to exchange information for medical help. When Ratchet and Bulkhead arrived, it turned out they already knew about Optimus's situation, but were interested in what he knew about the space bridge, so he was able to trade the information for aid. Orion Pax, Part 2
Why am I always seen like this? Chest and lower body off to one side, head towards y'all.
Tracking a signal, Starscream stumbled upon a MECH trap already sprung by Bumblebee. He was intrigued and followed the MECH helicopter and watched as they tried to install the T-cog they'd taken into a robot. When their attempt to make the robot work failed, Starscream revealed himself and managed to strike a partnership with them. Operation Bumblebee, Part 1 With Starscream's help, MECH secured a source of energon and Starscream was there when they used it on their robot. As Bumblebee came looking for his T-cog, Starscream helped defend it, but when it looked like Bumblebee might get it back, Starscream blasted it and left. Unfortunately Silas was less than impressed, and after a short nap thanks to MECH's weapons, Starscream woke up minus his own T-cog. Operation Bumblebee, Part 2
8/7/13
Ouch.
While scavenging for energon, Starscream found that Airachnid had been cast out from the Decepticons and obtained a pet in the form of an Insecticon. She spurned his suggestion that they team up to defeat Megatron, and he barely escaped with his life. Wounded, he employed his previous trick to get medical help from the Autobots in exchange for information about Airachnid's activities, and even later saved Arcee from Airachnid, sparing her life like she spared his much, much earlier. Crossfire
"Wanna know how I got these scars?"
Starscream returned to the Harbinger in search of energon, and instead found a laboratory containing five protoforms and the equipment necessary for cloning. He had soon whipped up five Starscream clones, which he dispatched to dispatch Megatron. Unfortunately he soon discovered that he could sympathetically feel every injury they suffered, which gave him a good idea how the mission was going. When the last clone returned to report failure, Starscream sensed the clone's treachery and blasted it. Fully aware of the effect on him, he terminated the clone, screaming in their shared pain as he did.
Armada
He was about to operate on himself to install the clone's T-cog when the ship detected the Decepticons sending teams out to locations around the globe. Intrigued, he used the ship's GroundBridge to reach Antarctica, only to be captured by Dreadwing, whom he at first mistook for Skyquake. Eventually, Optimus arrived, and after Dreadwing was buried in an avalanche and the Vehicons accompanying him were dispatched, Starscream now found himself as Optimus's prisoner. The two followed a trail to a human research station where the relic everyone was after was being held. Dreadwing soon arrived and another battle between him and Optimus took place. As they fought, Starscream freed the relic, the Apex Armor, from the ice block containing it and claimed it as his own. Covered in a full body suit and towering over Starscream SMASH! both of them, Starscream used the armor to fight both Optimus and Dreadwing, a fight in which he was the aggressor for once in a long time. Though Starscream had enhanced strength and was rendered invulnerable, he still couldn't fly, and a few of Dreadwing's bombs created a hole in the ice which he fell through. He was subsequently forced to plod along the bottom of the ocean. Triangulation Back at the Harbinger, Starscream discovered a photo of Red Energon on the Internet, as well as a dancing monkey which came as much amusement to him. He took the Apex Armor with him, tracking the substance down to a dockyard where he was confronted by Optimus, Arcee and Bumblebee. Donning the armor, he attempted to retrieve the Red Energon first, and managed to rip a chunk off after Optimus knocked him off the crane. While he was trying to tip the crane over, Smokescreen arrived, and using a phase shifter, removed Starscream from the Apex Armor. The Decepticon responded by firing a missile at the three Autobots on the crane and escaping with a chunk of Red Energon. New Recruit
8/7/13
Starscream set about refining the Red Energon, though the process was slow and only yielded enough for one or two doses. Alerted to a Decepticon operation by the Harbinger's computers, he used it on himself and soon found Smokescreen had uncovered a relic. Using his new hyperspeed to blindside him, Starscream was able to obtain one of the Omega Keys, which he later overheard Bulkhead describing as a way to revitalize Cybertron. Hard Knocks Though thinking of restoring Cybertron and ruling it himself, Starscream decided that he didn't have the proper resources to do so. Coming up with a plan, Starscream lured Optimus, Ratchet and Bulkhead to a Next on his list of cat-related videos is remote location with the promise of the key he'd found in Nyan Ravage. return for the installation of the T-Cog from his clone. In reality, he used his remaining Red Energon to allow him to infiltrate the Autobot base while leaving the clone behind for the Autobots to find. While stealing the other three keys from, the Autobots figured out his clone was a ruse, and Starscream only just managed to get back through the Ground Bridge. After taking a moment to taunt the Autobots, the Red Energon wore off, and he quickly bridged away to the Nemesis, with the Omega Keys as a peace offering to Megatron. Inside Job
SQUEE! I've collected all four!
Requesting to rejoin the Decepticons, the unconvinced Megatron subjected Starscream to a cortical psychic patch and began rummaging in his memories to determine his true motives. Despite the incriminating nature of most of the memories, Megatron's analysis of Starscream's strengths and weaknesses (including the loss of his T-cog and the fact that Starscream is not the only untrustworthy Decepticon on the Nemesis), has him decide to allow Starscream to serve by his side, as he is better with him than against him. Starscream was so relieved by the turn of events that he thanked the All Spark, but Dreadwing was not so pleased about this development. Patch Knock Out restored Starscream's T-Cog, though immediately afterwards Starscream was attacked by a murderous Dreadwing and had to be saved by Megatron. After Starscream helped Knock Out unlock the secret of the Omega Keys, Megatron left him in charge of the Nemesis. Starscream used information gathered by Soundwave to kidnap the Autobots' three human friends and took them to Cybertron for Megatron to use as hostages. Regeneration
This feels familiar...
After handing over Jack Darby in exchange for two of the keys, Starscream took part in the activation of the Omega Lock. He survived the explosion caused by the Lock's destruction at Optimus's hand, and when Knock Out attempted a quip, knocked the medic down and demanded he tend to Megatron.
8/7/13
Starscream returned to Earth with Megatron to take part in an attack on the Autobot base, during which he shot down Wheeljack's ship, the Jackhammer, with Wheeljack still inside. Following the attack, he and Megatron landed in the remains of the base. Darkest Hour While the other Decepticons dug around in the ruins, Starscream more productively had Wheeljack pulled from the wreckage of the Jackhammer. When human military forces turned up, Starscream offered to unleash the armada on them, but Megatron dealt with the matter using Darkmount's fusion cannons. His interrogation of Wheeljack did not go nearly as well. Darkmount, NV With the arrival of Shockwave, Megatron appointed the newcomer second lieutenant in charge of science, usurping Starscream's role slightly. Starscream attempted to get his own back by discovering a photo of Ratchet on the internet, only to be embarrassed when it was switched for a picture of a dancing monkey by Raf. He attempted a new gambitallowing Wheeljack to escape with a tracking device, believing it would lead them to the other Autobots, however Wheeljack discovered the bug and turned the tables on the pursuing Decepticons. Megatron's anger was only stemmed by Shockwave bringing a Predacon he cloned to Earth. Scattered Starscream complained to Knock Out about the pressures of his position. When the Predacon returned from its flight to catch Autobots empty-handed, Starscream noted it was a pity the beast couldn't tell them why it failed. Prey Starscream was pleased when Decepticon monitoring finally bore fruit and located the Autobots. Unfortunate this turned out to be a series of diversions designed to have the Decepticons spread their forces out, and Megatron was not happy that Starscream fell for it. Darkmount subsequently came under attack and though Starscream did his best to coordinate a defense, the battle ended with him ordering a retreat to the Nemesis as the base was destroyed. Rebellion When it looked like the Decepticons were about to embark on another scavenger hunt, Starscream was dismayed, but fortunately it turned out that Shockwave had micro-chipped all his creations, and the fossils they needed would be easy to find. Project Predacon Following the surprise return of the existing Predacon, Starscream was dismayed to find it put in his charge. He had immense trouble controlling the beast and resorted to using the Apex Armor to protect himself from its attacks. Megatron sent Starscream and the Predacon to Scotland, where they found the Autobots had destroyed a team of Decepticons hunting for bones there. While the Predacon took on the Autobots, Starscream found Miko trying to reach Magnus's ship and accidentally lost the Apex Armor to her. Battle ensued, but when the Predacon left for the Nemesis, Starscream and his two seekers found themselves outnumbered by Autobots and retreated. Chain of Command In Megatron's bad books again, Starscream was further inconvenienced when the Predacon damaged the ship's communication dish. Though he tried to have it repaired by the Vehicons, it didn't go so well, and Megatron eventually found out. Plus One Starscream found Knock Out in the middle of experimenting with Synthetic Energon, and had the medic add Dark Energon to the mix, believing it would allow Megatron to control the results. Instead the new mix transformed Cylas into an energon-sucking zombie and created a plague which resulted in Knock Out and Starscream being chased through the ship. Confronted by Megatron, they were forced to admit what they were done, and were sent to locate and destroy Cylas. They eventually found he had already been dispatched, but to Starscream's dismay, the deed had been done by the recentlyfreed Airachnid. Fortunately he didn't have to deal with her as well, but he later had to face Megatron's wrath over his part in the affair. Thirst When Megatron took him to another abandoned mine, Starscream assumed his demise was near, but they were merely visiting Shockwave's off-site

laboratory. The Predacon unexpectedly arrived and Starscream hit it with a metal bar, only for it to transform and speak. The Decepticons quickly realized that despite Predaking's loyalty, it would not take him and his fellow Predacons long to realize their superiority to the Decepticons, so Starscream hatched a plan to kill two birds with one stone, luring the Autobots to the laboratory so its destruction could be blamed on them. The plan succeeded, and in the aftermath, the Decepticons discovered that the synthetic energon stored at the base had created cybermatter. Evolution Starscream managed to talk his way out of being disfigured by Shockwave over not warning the latter that the Autobots were attacking the lab. As Shockwave was put in charge of perfecting the Synthetic Energon formula, Megatron assigned Starscream to gather technology to repair the Omega Lock, which they would need for a delivery mechanism. Minus One After establishing the location of the Autobot base when they kidnapped Ratchet, Starscream was sent with his armada to destroy the hanger. He did so with aplomb, unaware that the Autobots had swapped the letters on the hangers and he'd destroyed the wrong one. Persuasion The error came back to bite him when the Decepticons detected an Autobot probe carrying Laserbeak's transponder. Starscream went out and personally destroyed the probe before fleeing through a GroundBridge to escape Optimus. Back on the Nemesis, when Predaking found out about the Decepticons' earlier treachery and went on a rampage, Starscream aided Megatron by blasting Predaking in the back. Though the Predacon was defeated, the ship next came under attack by Autobots. Synthesis

Starscream took his squad of Vehicons and encountered Arcee and Bumblebee. They battled the two Autobots, but were driven back to the Omega Lock room where Starscream tried unsuccessfully to get his hands on the Star Saber which Smokescreen had brought along. Starscream watched in horror as Megatron was killed, but his desire to avenge his leader was unable to be fulfilled, as Shockwave dragged him away. The pair escaped the ship in a lifepod, somewhere over Cybertron. Deadlock

Starscream accompanied Megatron on a trip to Antarctica to attack the NS Yamal. He carried the static lance that Megatron intended to use to detonate the ship's nuclear reactors, and when the Autobots arrived to intercede, Starscream used the weapon to knock Ratchet out. He tried to do the same to Bumblebee, but the Autobot dodged the blow and kicked him in the head. Ice Breaker Tasked by Megatron with trying to draw the Autobots out, Starscream attacked and captured Air Force One, taking it to the Grand Canyon. He sent a message demanding Optimus Prime's surrender in exchange for the safe return of the President, but the Autobots turned up in force. Starscream's accompaniment of Vehicons was soon quashed, and Optimus rescued the President, whom Starscream was using as a human shield, by chopping the Decepticon's left arm off. Defeated, Starscream fled.
All the President's 'Bots!
Starscream was appalled when Megatron revealed the latest planpit the Vehicons against each other in a series of deathmatches to ensure their army contained only the toughest. He was even more shocked when Megatron expected him to fight against Fearstorm. Through application of his wits, Starscream was The president's been kidnapped by Decepticons!

Tales of the Beast Hunters

When Predaking returned from a battle with the news that Megatron had apparently perished in a mysterious explosion, everyone on the Nemesis assumed Starscream was to blame, simply because he had repeatedly expressed an interest in becoming Decepticon leader. He had to go on the run, all the while Megatron would turn up alive so his name would be cleared. Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 7 Dreadwing managed to track him down, but he convinced Dreadwing that he was not the one who eliminated Megatron, on the grounds that he would immediately take Decepticon leadership, rather than flee, should Megatron die by his hands.

Have no fear, Lord Megatron. Under my leadership, Decepticon victory is assured!

Starscream being all modest, Transformers: War for Cybertron For the last thousand years of the Great War, Starscream was in charge of an orbital facility that had the capability of producing Dark Energon, though they maintained only a small stockpile because of its unpredictable and uncontrollable nature. The station's force of neutral soldiers were no match for Megatron's invading forces, while Starscream and Jetfire's repeated warnings that no one could control Dark Energon had no effect on Megatron's determination. Instead, Megatron tempted Starscream with knowledge of his past, reminding him of his demotion from Sky Commander to a mere guard over an allbut-derelict station, and offered to let him join the Decepticons, something Starscream scoffed at at least, at first. Starscream attempted to destroy the station's stock of Dark Energon before the Decepticon leader could reach it, but failed, and watched, first with amusement as Megatron entered the storage chamber...and then with shock as Megatron infused himself with the substance and bent it to his will within moments. Starscream quickly volunteered his services for the Decepticon cause, causing Jetfire to label him a traitor and leave to warn Zeta Prime. Megatron sent him with Thundercracker and Skywarp to Cybertron to reactivate the Energon Bridge. Starscream performed the mission successfully using his trademark style, flair, and modesty, never mind Megatron's taunting and unreasonable impatience, or Thundercracker's warning him of the danger of certain courses of action, or even Skywarp's cluing in to his constant insults. During the Battle of Iacon City, Starscream led the Decepticons aerial squadrons and Brawl led the Decepticons' ground assault, while Megatron, Soundwave, and Breakdown went behind enemy lines and Where are your stupid Macross jokes tried to secure the Omega Key. When Megatron's group met up with Brawl, Starscream refused to send now?! Dark Energon bombers, saying that he wouldn't let Brawl waste anymore of "his ships". Megatron took issue with Starscream dubbing the bombers his, and overrode Starscream's refusal. Later that evening, while looking for the "real" Omega Key, they ran into it: Omega Supreme. Starscream assumed Megatron was killed when Omega attacked a dropship Megatron was heading for and declared himself Decepticon commander. Shortly afterward, Megatron managed to communicate with Starscream and ordered him to attack Omega Supreme, getting the massive Autobot off of Megatron's back. By the time Megatron's group were heading for the Autobot turrets, Starscream was ready to sound a retreat, which Megatron overrode with the threat of marking any retreating Decepticon as "kill on sight". Fortunately, Megatron arrived moments later and managed to defeat Omega Supreme, making the retreat unnecessary. Later on, he was present at the Core of Cybertron as Megatron corrupted it with Dark Energon. As the Battle of Iacon continued, Starscream fought through Jetfire and Silverbolt, and attacked Optimus's group in the Decagon. However, the Air Commander was injured by Optimus's Energon-axe and forced to retreat. The wound was apparently bad enough to cause him to sit out the remainder of the conflict.

Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)

Voice actor: Sam Riegel (English), Gianluca Iacono (Italian) Starscream had been in control of Trypticon Space Station for years, until Megatron and his forces invaded. Megatron wished to revive the Dark Energon project to aid him in his conquest of Cybertron, but Starscream would have none of it. Megatron was able to fight his way to Starscream himself, and after a brief battle, Starscream had lost. He begged for mercy, and Megatrons spared Starscream in exchange for loyalty to the Decepticons. Starscream obliged and Megatron was taken to the core of the station. After a test run of the Dark Energon's effects on Decepticons in Kaon Prison, Soundwave deduced the element would only destroy the host. A furious Megatron set Starscream to work on fixing the problem, with Starscream continuously bickering with Barricade over his usefullness. The problem was eventually solved in time for an attack on Iacon City. When Megatron felled Zeta Prime and found the Omega Key, the titanic Autobot Omega Supreme was unleashed upon the Decepticons, quickly crushing them with ease. Megatron was downright furious with Starscream, declaring he had brought Omega Supreme's rampage upon them all. Starscream retorted that if it wasn't for Megatron and his blind troops, none of this would've happened. Starscream invited Megatron to kill him, but warned him it wouldn't do a thing about Omega Supreme out for their blood. Megatron for the moment let it go, and finally felled Omega Supreme, gaining total dominance over Cybertron. Sometime later, Starscream ambushed an Autobot recruit-in-training, and would've killed him if it wasn't for Optimus charging to the rescue. He wasn't seen again after that.

Transformers: Cybertron Adventures

Voice actor: Sam Riegel (English), Gianluca Iacono (Italian) Being Megatron's "right-hand man," he wonders how the war could have changed if HE were to be the leader, not Megatron. Still he was ordered by Megatron to do his dirty work, and growing jealous, he waits for the right time, to take his place, as leader of the Decepticons.
Transformers: Cybertron Adventures
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron

Voice actor: Sam Riegel (English) Under Megatron's orders, Starscream and the Combaticons ambushed and captured Optimus Prime under the ruins of Iacon during the assault on the Ark. Starscream's gloating on how he defeated Megatron's archnemesis would earn him a blast from the Decepticon's leader's fusion cannon.
8/7/13
Starscream's luck would take an uphill turn, however, for Megatron was soon crushed by Metroplex, leaving him the new leader of the Decepticons. At the urging of both Prime and Metroplex, Starscream ordered the Decepticons to retreat. Starscream's reign as a leader was lackluster at best. He used most of the Decepticon energon and supplies to further his own ego and cover the Decepticon bases with portraits and effigies of himself and constantly broadcasting self glorifying speeches to his troops. Anyone who wasn't on board with Starscream's reign was thrown into the prisons of Kaon. Needless to say, the prisons were full to bursting as barely a handful of Decepticons had any faith in their new leader. When the Autobots acquired the entire energon supply the Decepticons kept in the Sea of Rust. Starscream sent the Combaticons to stop the transport. When the transport was out in the open, Starscream ordered an assault on it, despite the fact the anti-aircraft gun were still functional. As the Decepticons suffered heavy losses, Starscream aborted the mission and ordered a full retreat. The Combaticons ignored the order and brought the transport down, at the cost of half the energon on board. Despite the fact that the Combaticons had saved the mission he had abandoned, Starscream accused them of failing and had them arrested. Later, Starscream decided to have a coronation for himself (despite the fact he had been in charge for some time now). Though sadly it was not to be, as a newly rebuilt Megatron crashed the event and took his crown back from the would-be king, much to everyone else's elation. Luckily, the Air Commander escaped Megatron's wrath, swearing revenge. Seeking the means to get back at Megatron, Starscream made his way to Shockwave's lab. He came across Grimlock and promised to free him and his team if they would serve him. The Dinobot kindly refused the offer by throwing him into the control panel, freeing himself. This apparently knocked Starscream out as he didn't get back up. What happened to him afterwords is unknown, since most of Decepticons that might have arrested him were cut to pieces by Grimlock.

War for Cybertron

Starscream (Legends Class, 2010) This redeco of Legends Class Cybertron Starscream appeared pretty much out of the blue one day, when, without fanfare, it was offered as a promotional giveaway in the United Kingdom to those who purchased the Transformers: War for Cybertron video game from ShopTo.Net (http://www.shopto.net) . He transforms into a Cybertronic jet fighter and features hidden weapons in his wing-sections/biceps: the right arm hides a blade, while the left arm has a non-firing cannon. This toy was later offered as a gift to attendees at the Animation-Comic-Game Hong Kong fair 2010 if they made a combined purchase of Transformers toys amounting to more than HK$400. This mold was also used the make Cybertron Ramjet, Skywarp and Sunstorm, Universe Ramjet and Thrust, and Dark of the Moon Cybertronian Starscream.

Prime: First Edition

Starscream (Deluxe Class, 2011) Number: 003 Japanese release date: December 28, 2011 Accessories: 2 missile pods, stand (Hasbro only) Part of the first wave of Prime: First Edition Deluxe Class toys, Starscream transforms from a jet resembling a General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon into a skinny robot and back! He comes with two missile pod accessories that can either attach onto tabs on the underside of his wings, or onto the rear wings on his arms in robot mode. Additionally, he has a 5mm peg hole that goes through each arm, both of which become the sides of his jet
8/7/13
mode tail. Since the tail stabilizers fold into the sides of the tail to become the arms, the hole isn't very deep in robot mode unless you leave these fins folded out.
He's got legs, and he knows how to attach them to the underside of his jet mode.
Undocumented in either of his Hasbro and TakaraTomy instructions, Starscream has a couple of features that help make him slightly more showaccurate: he has a deployable winglet on the back of each of his legs, and his large wing kibble can tilt slightly upward. Some units have the head aerial deformed in-package due to being made of soft plastic. This is due to friction preventing it from hinging back. The aerial is supposed to fold back along the head for transformation, but can be tough enough to get in place due to simply flexing instead of changing position. His knee spikes also tend to deform. As with all Hasbro-release "First Edition" toys, a cardboard stand is included. The Takara release omits the stand in order to fit the toy into the bubble in robot mode. This mold was retooled/redecoed to make TakaraTomy Prime Skywarp and Thundercracker, and was differently retooled to make Timelines Slipstream.

Cyberverse
Starscream (Cyberverse Commander, 2012) Series / Number: 2 / 003 Japanese number: EZ-03 Japanese release date: March 31, 2012 Accessories: 2 missile cannons Part of the first wave of Prime Series 2 Cyberverse Commander Class toys, this smallerscale Starscream is cast partly in translucent plastic so that the toy can be lit using the electronic lights featured in the larger playsets. He also comes with two translucent "missile cannon" weapons that can peg in various ways onto Starscream and each other via their numerous 3mm posts and ports. Starscream's arms can separate from the nosecone fuselage on the elbow joint for greater

show-accuracy, if you ignore the giant jet pieces hanging off his arms. He features a small, almost irrelevant partial autotransform gimmick: When his shoulders are swung out into place, his head moves out a little bit, allowing you to swing the head into position easily. The Hasbro release comes with a pack-in file card. In addition to the regular version, Starscream was also released in a special "advance release" assortment alongside Optimus Prime, Bulkhead and Megatron, with each figure including a mini-DVD that contains the Transformers: Prime episode "Masters & Students". Yes, all four of them come with the same episode. More information on Cyberverse Starscream at TFU.info (http://tfu.info/2012/Decepticon/CommStarscream/starscream.htm)
Decepticon Set (EZ Collection 6-pack, 11-24-2012) ID number: EZ-SP2 Accessories: 2 missile cannons This redeco of Starscream is cast in bluish plastics, making him resemble Thundercracker.

Starscream (Cyberverse Commander, 2013) Series / Number: 3 / 006 Accessories: Launcher & missile (combine to form Thunder Talon) Part of the third wave of Prime: Beast Hunters Series 3 Cyberverse Commander Class toys, Starscream is a redeco and extensive retool of Series 2 Starscream. He features 3mm ports in the same places as before, loses the post on his back, and gains a new port on his chest/jet underside. He now comes with the "Thunder Talon", a massive claw-like weapon which can mount via 3mm post, and launch its "claw" as a missile via pressurelaunch.

Bumblebee vs. Starscream: Ultimate Opponents (Entertainment Pack, 2012) Accessories: 2 missile pods This Deluxe Class Prime: Robots in Disguise Starscream is a redeco of his First Edition release in lighter gray plastic with several purple highlights, possibly intended to represent his powering up with Dark Energon in the episode Shadowzone. Unlike the original release of this mold, this version features paint operations on its soft plastic parts, such as his forehead crest and missile-tips. Starscream came packed-in with a redeco of First Edition Bumblebee, small unarticulated figurines of Silas and a MECH soldier, as well as a DVD containing the episodes I'd be a poor man's Skywarp if I didn't cost more to import. "Convoy", "Sick Mind", and "Out of His Head". The two-pack was also available in Australian markets virtually unchanged, except the DVD was replaced with a booklet including short (and by that, we mean one sentence) bios as well as Tech Specs for most of the characters. The stock photography on the packaging depicts Starscream's cockpit and abdomen as translucent, and with the stripes on his wings being on the leading edges instead of their final placement.
Starscream (Voyager, 2012) Series / Number: 1 / 003 Japanese release date: 6-30-2012 Japanese ID number: AM-07 Accessories: Missile pod/light-up null-ray blaster & two missiles (Hasbro only), "Gul" Arms Micron (TakaraTomy only) Part of the second wave of Prime: Robots in Disguise Voyager Class toys, Starscream now comes with two missiles, as well as a missile pod attached to a half-translucent base of random parts, both of which can be mounted (via 5mm posts) behind his canopy/on his back, or onto his wings, arms, and hands. Additionally, the missile pod itself features a Oh, that can't be aerodynamic. peg-hole on each side, and his wings each feature a Mini-Con-compatible peg. The missile pod transforms into his "null-ray blaster", all while being illuminated by a red LED as a sort of "Energon glow". As with other Robots in Disguise Voyager Class toys, the deployed weapon cannot lock into place. His prototype stock photography depicts additional paint operations on the wings and vertical stabilizer that were omitted in the final product. His
8/7/13
instructions and stock photos also incorrectly show his completed robot mode's shoulderpads as being left flipped-up, despite the instructions telling you to flip them down just a few steps before. The TakaraTomy release, which was part of the fourth wave of Prime product in Japan (despite his ID numbering placing him before toys released in the third wave), loses many of his detail-based paint operations, replacing them with customer-applied foil stickers. Instead of the light-up cannon-thing, he comes with the Arms Micron Gul, a robotic eagle that transforms into a bladed plasma weapon.

Starscream (Dark Energon Series Deluxe, 2012) Number: 003 Accessories: 2 missile pods Prime: Dark Energon Starscream is a BigBadToyStore-exclusive redeco of "First Edition" Starscream in translucent black, opaque pink, and dark blue, as a possible homage to Skywarp. Though he was packaged on an individual card, he was initially sold as part of a set with the Dark Energon versions of Bumblebee, Wheeljack, and Knock Out. He was eventually made available on his own, and the Dark Energon Series toys were eventually made available in Singapore as mass-retail releases.

Generations
Starscream (Deluxe, 2012) Series / Number: 01 / #010 Japanese release date: 02-23-2013 Japanese number: TG09 Accessories: Two assault cannons, tail-fin Part of the third wave of 2012-onwards Generations Deluxe Class toys, Fall of Cybertron Starscream transforms into a Cybertronian jet fighter. He comes with two spinning, triple-barreled "assault cannons" which can combine to form a larger hand-held weapon that is geared to spin its two triple-barrels together, and resembles the Neutron assault rifle from Fall of Cybertron. Each of the weapon halves features two 5mm posts, as well as a peg-hole on their hollow sides, while the combined form features another peghole at the top, but makes the peg-holes on the hollow sides inaccessible. Starscream features numerous 5mm peg-holes, such as his hands, forearms, lower legs, and wing undersides. In an undocumented feature, Starscream's tail-fin is attached via a 5mm post on its underside, and can be detached to reveal three additional peg-holes, with two of these peg-holes being just the right distance to accommodate the combined assault cannons/rifle, with the tail-fin pegging on the rifle's top peg-hole. This allows the weapon to mount on top of the vehicle mode, and store on his back in robot mode. He was repurposed as Generation 1 Starscream in IDW Publishing's Robots in Disguise comics. The TakaraTomy version, part of the third wave of Japanese Generations toys, is noticeably shinier. Among other deco changes, his gray vehicle parts have been coated in silver paint, and most of his red parts in glossy metallic red paint, all while featuring numerous additional paint details. His gray plastic is slightly warmer in tone, and his gunmetal plastic has been replaced with metallic blue. This toy was later redecoed into TakaraTomy Skywarp and Thrilling 30 Thundercracker.

He transforms into a fighter jet resembling a heavily-modified General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon. He features 5mm ports for his hands, forearms, and fuselage/robot back. He comes with two missiles which each feature tabs on one side and a slot on the other, allowing them to peg onto his wings, or be pegged onto his forearms/jet underside. He also comes with a larger-scale "Thunder Talon" with clenching claws and a small, molded circular saw at the end. It features a 5mm peg on its underside and on the tail-end, allowing the weapon to be held/mounted in different ways, as well as store on his back. The weapon also features places to mount the missiles onto, with a pair of slots on its top and underside, as well as a pair of tabs on top. The slots also allow the weapon to be mounted onto the underside of the jet mode. His instructions include the seventh chapter of the Tales of the Beast Hunters series.

Notes
Starscream's model is usable in War for Cybertron multiplayer as the Energon Seeker-type chassis for Scientist-class characters. His parts are also available to Scientists in Fall of Cybertron, now classified as Arclight-type components. Starscream's backstory in Exodus is self-contradictory: "Not even Starscream, who had spent much of his scientific career in the labs contained within these refracting walls..." (p. 78). "See what?" Starscream asked. Neither Starscream nor Megatron were scientists." (p. 158). When asked via Twitter, Exodus's writer Alex Irvine stated "Let's say he's always been scientifically curious."[1]
ooooo-ooooo/We fade to grey!

Despite being a Neutral before joining Megatron's cause in War for Cybertron, Starscream begins the game with his glowing details already in Decepticon purple as opposed to Neutral yellow. Starscream's thin body and narrow, upward-swept wings in robot mode recalls Animated Starscream, but his voice, colour scheme, Igor-like posture and subservience to Megatron recalls the live-action incarnation. The game design has the movie bulk but with a Generation 1 head and colours. Starscream's chest design is basically his live-action incarnation's head design. Now that's a visual homage. And an unintentional one at that, according to the New York Comic Con Transformers: Prime panel. Prime's Starscream has a red Decepticon insignia. Fabulouscream. Starscream's feet have pointed toes and elevated heels that make them resemble a pair of women's pumps. They are quite daring. Steve Blum said he was a fan of Charlie Adler and Tom Kenny's portrayals of Starscream, and had Adler give him his blessing after he got the part.[2] Coincidentally, Blum, Adler and Kenny are all in The Super Hero Squad Show. Screamer appears to have Decepticon logos on his legs. They disappeared after "Masters & Students". For the rest of the series after "Partners", Starscream has a scar on his right cheek from his battle with Arcee. However after Regeneration it is gone. It is possible that in addition to restoring his T-cog, Knock Out also got rid of the scar. Up until Partners, his eyes were empty (like Arcee's eyes) with a solid red iris and lighter red pupils, but following said episode, his eyes change color from episode to episode. On some occasions, they are solid red with lighter red dots for his pupils. Sometimes during the series, depending on Starscream's mood (usually when scared), the wings on his back in robot mode tend to droop down like an animal's ears when scared or saddened. It's quite adorable, really. Starscream's body parts are available to use in the Hub website's Vector Sigma Bot Builder online game. Normally, you cannot configure a generic 'bot using all Starscream parts, but you can see what one would look like at right through the magic of Photoshop. In Starscream's dedicated level in Fall Of Cybertron, a secret room on the exterior of Shockwave's tower complex contains a very G1-esque gold crown that can be picked up by the player and worn for the remainder of the level. Words cannot describe how awesome this is.. Starscream seems to be entertained by dancing monkeys. His arm blasters appear to have the ability to disrupt a Transformer's systems. In "Operation Bumblebee, Part 2", one shot from them briefly disables Bumblebee. Maybe he picked the Null-ray upgrade after all. Starscream's Hasbro Bio takes Fowler's comment "Starscream is his own worst enemy", a little too literally as it lists his arch-enemy as himself. And his ally is Optimus, for some reason...
