| “ | The idea of a unified Cybertron is a myth. All that counts is the strength of one bot over another! | „ |

Starscream is a supporting character in the 2024 animated film Transformers One. He was the leader of Cybertron's High Guard until he was defeated and subdued by D-16, who ended up taking leadership of the High Guard and rebranded himself as Megatron.
Following Sentinel Prime's death, Starscream and the rest of the High Guard were banished from Iacon with Megatron by Optimus Prime, in which they rechristened themselves as the Decepticons.
He is voiced by Steve Buscemi, who also played Randall Boggs in the Monster Inc franchise, Mr. Pink in Reservoir Dogs, Gordon Pratt in Homicide: Life on the Street, Francis E. Francis in The Boss Baby, Carl Showalter in Fargo and Tony Blundetto in The Sopranos.
Personality[]
As the leader of the High Guard, Starscream is a veteran warrior that is well aware of the deception that Sentinel has created amongst his people. Because of this, Starscream is dedicated to overthrowing Sentinel and dismantling his regime in vengeance for his crimes.
Starscream carries the belief that the "strength of one bot over another" is what counts and this is what ultimately leads to him and the rest of the High Guard swearing their allegiance to D-16, after D-16 delivered him a humiliating defeat. Despite his eager for challenge, he is also a bit of a coward, as he begged for D-16 to spare his life when his fusion cannon came out (by accident) and was hesitant to take charge against Sentinel's forces when they invaded their base.
Nonetheless, he is more than willing to assist D-16 in killing Sentinel and after successfully managing to do so, he advocates D-16's campaign in destroying all that remains of Sentinel's legacy, in the name of Megatron.

Trivia[]
- Unlike his previous iterations, this version of Starscream already assumed leadership of what would eventually become the Decepticons, as it is instead Megatron that forcefully overthrows him from the position. As of now, he currently shows no signs of betraying Megatron and retaking the position of leadership back from him.
- When Megatron crushes Starscream's throat, his voice begins to turn harsh and raspier, similar to his voice in the Generation One cartoon.
- Much like the other seekers, Starscream's vehicle mode is based on the pyramidal spacecraft alternate form used by the seekers seen in the very first episodes of the original series (ubiquitously dubbed "tetrajets" by the fanbase), with additional features coming from Cybertron Starscream and the seeker body style from High Moon Studios' War for/Fall of Cybertron games.
