Starscream is the main antagonist of Transformers Cyberverse. He was originally second-in-command to Megatron, the Decepticon Air Commander and the leader of the Decepticon Seekers until he was demoted by Megatron for his failures. He was banished after his failed attempted to overthrow him and left for dead.
Inadvertently, he was revived by Cheetor and went on to claim the AllSpark. Winning the loyalty of his Seekers by presenting himself as the one chosen by the AllSpark, Starscream attempted to use the AllSpark to destroy both sides, forcing the Autobots and Decepticons to team up to stop him. In season 3, Starscream was mutated into a Quintesson Judge and attempted to destroy the entire universe.
He was voiced by Billy Bob Thompson.
Biography[]
Backstory[]
Before the Great War, Starscream was friends with Jetfire. In Cube, Starscream took the newly arrived Camien Windblade to a Cube game where he flaunted his upper-class credentials, having Bumblebee be kicked out of the stadium. Attempting to spice up the game, Starscream made his way to the Cubes and reprogrammed the AI in one of them to cause chaos only for Bumblebee and Windblade to foil his plot.
Season 1[]
Starscream was part of the rally where Megatron unveiled the Decepticon faction and emblem. Soon enough, however, the movement had gone from civil disagreements to open revolution with Starscream derisively greeting Optimus when the "file clerk" tried to deter Megatron's ambitions. Throughout the resulting war, Megatron would mock Starscream for his many failures, leading to Starscream growing increasingly resentful.
Later in the war, Megatron conspired to use Vector Sigma to reprogram the AllSpark and have it birth a new generation of loyal Decepticons. Starscream and the Seekers tried and failed to prevent the Autobots from launching the AllSpark through a space bridge. As Cybertron's condition deteriorated due to the loss of the AllSpark, Starscream led Thundercracker and Nova Storm to the Grand Imperium where the trio attempted to slay Optimus Prime only to be bested and forced to retreat.
Targeting Earth[]
Millions of years later, the AllSpark was tracked to Earth, and Starscream sent Slipstream and a squad of Seekers to Earth while he prepared the Decepticon fleet. After the scouts arrived on Earth, Starscream contacted their shuttle, only for Bumblebee to answer, unknowingly blowing the Autobots cover. In Siloed, after Slipstream had captured Windblade, Starscream contacted her, only to find she had escaped his subordinate. Frustrated at his time being wasted, he swore to demote Slipstream as far as he could when he came to Earth.
In Awaken Sleeping Giants, Starscream's fleet entered the solar system, and he contacted Slipstream again, only to find that Shockwave had already arrived, to his frustration. In Eruption, Starscream and his fleet arrived on Earth, only to find the Ark's crew had been awoken. Thus, the Decepticon recommenced their war with the Autobots on Earth.
Season 2[]
After ignoring Megatron's order to provide air support, Starscream was finally demoted by Megatron from leader of the Seekers. In anger, Starscream attacked and seemingly slew an injured Megatron, declaring himself leader of the Decepticons. However, just as the Decepticons were preparing to disembark from the moon, Megatron revealed himself to still be alive and brutally beat down Starscream for his treachery before throwing him out of the ship and leaving him for dead on the moon.
However, after Cheetor accidentally exposed him to the energy of the AllSpark, Starscream came online again. Claiming to have seen the AllSpark while he was dead and absorbed its wisdom, Starscream was able to sway the Seekers to his side and persuade them to help him in his plan to achieve godhood. While Optimus Prime and Megatron were dueling over the AllSpark, Starscream was able to sneak in and claim the relic for himself before exiting through a ground bridge. Around the same time, Starscream had his Seekers steal Vector Sigma from the Nemesis and bring it to him so he could use it to combine with the AllSpark and become effectively a god in order to bring peace to the galaxy by returning all the sparks of Transformers to the AllSpark. With the AllSpark in his grasp, Starscream used it to create Scraplets from the souls of dead Transformers to serve as his minions, sending them against anyone who opposed him.
After Acid Storm was able to unlock the secrets of Vector Sigma and use it to merge Starscream with the AllSpark, Starscream turned on his loyal Seeker minions and declared they would be the first souls he returned to the AllSpark, killing them. Starscream then went to confront the Autobots and Decepticons and used the power of the AllSpark to immobilize them. However, using the Matrix of Leadership, Optimus Prime was able to resist Starscream's overwhelming power and drive the AllSpark out of himself, causing him to collapse and fall down. After the battle, Starscream was taken into custody by the Autobots and placed in a cell aboard the Ark.
Imprisoned by the Autobots[]
While aboard the Ark, he attempted to unleash his AllSpark power, only to realize he no longer had it after Rack'n'Ruin mocked him. Later on, he decides to sabotage one of Wheeljack's new AllSpark emitters and make the Autobots destroy each other in the process. However, he was foiled by Optimus Prime who destroyed the device powering the emitters. Eventually, Starscream manages to escape the Ark by distracting Teletraan-X, but crashed into the War Titan Croaton, who took a screaming Starscream into parts unknown...
Season 3[]
Quintesson Judge[]
It's revealed that Croaton and Starscream were landed in a Quintesson Cruiser, The Quintessions, who had the mission of judging a universe to deem whether or not it was worthy of existing, judged Starscream guilty for his massive ego and tried to destroy him. However, Starscream then reveals the existence of the AllSpark and Cybertron, thus selling out his own planet and species. The current Judge decided to spare Starscream and rewards him by transforming him, alongside two other heads, into the judge of his own universe.
End of the Universe[]
The Judge Starscream decided to judge his own universe guilty and set out to destroy it and everyone in it, especially all those who wronged him, which was virtually everyone who had ever known him, Autobots and Decepticons alike. Before he could do so though, he decided to buy the universe extra time to live, just so that he could see the look upon Optimus and Megatron's faces when he deems the verdict.
He then decides to held all Cybertronians prisoner and rants to them about the crimes they committed against him. He then decides to put Hot Rod and Soundwave in a mind game, where they must buff the room before the Cosmic Rust consumes them and takes Acree as a hostage, electrocuting her and then threatening to kill her if the rest don't tell him where Megatron and Optimus are.
Windblade sends the War Titan Iacronus to stop him, but he retaliates with the brainwashed Croaton. When Croaton nearly loses, Starscream kills Iacronus in rage by dumping Unspace goo on his head, decapitating him. Starscream orders Croaton to annihilate Iacon and every Transformer on it, which succeeded, He eventually finds Optimus Prime and tries to pass on the judgement. Megatron arrived though aboard Astrotrain and attacks Starscream with the energy he gained from another universe,
In the final battle, Starscream, furious on being nearly defeated, decides to openly declare the verdict and summons Unspace goo to destroy all Cybertronians and the universe, several Cybertronians dying in the process. However, his plot to wipe out his own universe was foiled, and despite his powers as a Judge, Starscream was finally destroyed once and for all by his old arch foes, Optimus Prime and Megatron using the two Matrices of Leadership to blast him with all the power to obliterate him into pieces.
Aftermath[]
Starscream's head was later picked up by Meteorfire following the deaths of the Quintessons and was stored in his alien memorabillia.
