Starscream (Unicron Trilogy)

"I've often wondered what it'd be like to battle against you, Galvatron, but your words are stronger than your fighting abilities. I'm very disappointed."

- Starscream talking to Megatron, during their final duel.

Starscream is the anti-heroic Decepticon from the Unicron Trilogy, being a trio of three anime television series; Armada, Energon, and ''Cybertron. ''

Starscream is disillusioned by his leader Megatron. It took a while for Starscream to come to grips with Megatron's faults, but there's no turning back. Megatron doesn't respect him, doesn't appreciate him, and would casually toss Starscream's life away if it got him something he wanted. If following Megatron is the school of hard knocks, then Starscream is the valedictorian—but not without a few scars. Starscream may have once been compassionate, he may once have known what true friendship is, but all that has been replaced, scab for scab, with the lessons of Megatron's abuse.

Armada
Starscream was a young warrior who desperately wishes to gain the approval and respect of his leader Megatron (In contrast of his G1 counterpart), but started to become confused as he started to hate both himself and his commander for the abuse heaped upon him. He originally came to Earth as part of Megatron's expedition to gain the power of the Mini-Cons alongside Demolishor and Cyclonus. However, Starscream's frustration over having been made the last of the Decepticons to gain his partner Mini-Con led him to be manipulated by Sideways into battling with Megatron, which he lost.
