Starscream's boundless ambition drew him into the nascent Decepticon movement and catapulted him through the ranks as Cybertron collapsed into endless war. Though an intelligent, capable leader in his own right, Starscream struggled to distinguish himself from the shadow of Megatron–a relationship that ended with Megatron invariably reminding Starscream of his place after several failed coups and bungled stints at leadership. Following the end of the war and the revitalization of Cybertron, Starscream found the burden of leadership placed on his shoulders once more after a wayward Titan declared him Cybertron's "Chosen One", destined to reunite and rebuild their ruined world. A subsequent series of crises saw Starscream leaving the Decepticons forever, establishing himself as the "High Chancellor" of Cybertron's growing neutral population and carving out a new anti-factionalist government in the ruins of Iacon. But even after finally achieving his dream, Starscream still seems to be the same person he's always been: self-serving, prideful, treacherous, and perfectly willing to cheat, lie, and step on other 'bots to get his own way. His stubborn refusal to change his ways for the greater good is a constant thorn in the side of his reluctant allies. Beneath it all, though, Starscream struggles with the ramifications of his morally dubious actions and the growing shadow of his future legacy–a struggle that, in the end, he may not win. Starscream was constructed cold. Arm the Lonely As with all constructed cold Transformers, Starscream's spark carried genetic instructions for a "natural" shape, but the circumstances of his birth meant that his Spark was simply implanted into one of many identical, pre-constructed bodies. Over the course of his life, Starscream developed a predilection for periodically changing bodies; some would interpret this as a sign that his spark was still trying to find its "true form," Your First Mistake while others would simply write it off as a sign of his vanity. Another Mine In his early life, Starscream studied at the prestigious Nova Point Academy, but eventually moved to the city of Iacon, where he became a street hustler running scams for his personal gain and ran afoul of a young police officer named Orion Pax. The Hallowing Unlike most members of Cybertron's flight class, Starscream took pride in his alternate mode, and, eventually, his silver tongue landed him a handsomely-paying job as a precinct senator in Vos. Starscream: The Movie Disappointed by the lack of fame or respect this job offered, he spent most of his time drinking and reluctantly attending political rallies when he could be dragged away from the bar. The Hallowing Eventually, Starscream grew tired of politics and used his political connections to embezzle a vast sum of money from his constituents before deserting his post. He used his new fortune to recruit a pair of outliers named Skywarp and Thundercracker from the Jhiaxian Academy of Advanced Technology. After arranging their release from the school, he convinced the duo to undergo extensive rebuilds so that they'd look like him, a way to confuse any taxpayers who tried to pursue him. Starscream: The Movie Some four million years ago, he became a fan of the gladiatorial games that existed in Cybertron's underworld, Megatron Origin #2 and came to idolize the rhetorician-turned-gladiator Megatron for his teachings that Transformers didn't have to accept their lot in life. All Hail Megatron #10 The trio were eventually approached by Soundwave; Megatron Origin #3 seeing Megatron's nascent uprising as good a place as any to lose himself, Starscream: The Movie Starscream and his two lackeys believed that they were joining Megatron's team in the arena, but, after pledging allegiance to the Decepticon leader, learned that their leader had other plans for them: his Decepticon movement required air support as they made the move from activists to insurgents and beyond. Megatron Origin #3 Early on, the charismatic and cunning Starscream was tasked with recruitment of others to the Decepticon cause; significantly, he was the one assigned to approach the disenfranchised Senator Shockwave and bring him into the fold. Shockwaves Starscream was also given another key Senate-related task when he and his fellow Seekers were ordered to capture Senator Decimus, who would then supposedly be executed at Megatron's next recruitment rally. When security forces intervened in the rally and arrested the Decepticons, Starscream bargained for his freedom by offering to reveal all of Megatron's plans. Megatron Origin #3 However, this turned out to have been Megatron's plan—brought before an emergency assembly of the Senate for questioning, Starscream, together with Soundwave, executed the Senators with Starscream personally executing Proteus himself. The Chaos of Warm Things The two then freed every prisoner in the building, with Starscream arming the prisoner and even presenting Megatron with his the fusion cannon that would become his signature weapon. He then joined in their attack on Kaon, during which he bested Trailbreaker. The battle culminated in Megatron's defeat of Sentinel Prime, whose body Starscream dumped in front of Sentinel's men in a fly-by. Megatron Origin #4 Following the ascension of Zeta Prime, the Decepticons were forced back underground for a time but continued their militarization: arming sympathizers with weapons—ostensibly in the name of "self-defense"—Starscream coordinated several illegal arms shipments from off-world suppliers, showing off his handiwork to a shocked Soundwave. Behind My Bleeding Back When it became clear that Orion's Autobots would crack down on this gunrunning, Starscream rigged the latest arms shipments to detonate if the Autobots ever found it, Feel Safe Without Regrets assuring Soundwave that the Decepticons caught in the crossfire were making the ultimate sacrifice for the cause. Future Glories Lost When gunrunners Horri-Bull and Needlenose had their latest transaction revealed as an Autobot-coordinated sting operation, Starscream destroyed the weapons cache, leaving Soundwave to lie to the two that the Autobots had booby-trapped the shipment. Though Soundwave was appalled, Starscream felt Megatron would have approved. Feel Safe Without Regrets With war now definitively declared, Starscream continued in his recruitment duties; he was unable to convince the youthful Hot Rod to join the Decepticons Ruins, and had similarly bad luck with racing champion Blurr despite a very pointed effort. Not long after, Starscream was part of a unit that tried to stop Blurr from couriering a message to new planet leader Zeta Prime. Spotlight: Blurr His identity evidently unknown to most, Starscream was also positioned as a delegate to the new Senate that was formed by Zeta Prime, though exactly who or where he was masquerading as the delegate of is unclear. While attending one of Zeta's security sessions, he brought a disguised Soundwave with him to record the Senate's newest plans for how to stop the growing Decepticon menace. When Zeta expressed surprise at how easily Starscream accepted his idea of draining energy from civilians to power weapons, he almost let slip that he'd done worse things in Megatron's name. To cover up his blunder, he drew attention to the spy in their midst, giving Soundwave a cue to reveal himself and stage an escape, distracting Zeta. Parasites Since turning down Starscream's offer to join the Decepticons, Hot Rod had carried out some insurgent activities of his own, and Megatron and Starscream monitored the situation through Laserbeak with some degree of pleasure as Autobot leader Orion Pax hunted him down. Ruins In Orion's absence, Zeta Prime then attacked Nyon's population with his vamparc ribbons and Omega Destructors—an action Starscream compared to Megatron's own tactics, though, Megatron assured him he was capable of much more. Purge In spite of Starscream's opinion that Megatron was a "stubborn wreck" for his repeated attempts to sway Orion Pax to his cause, they were successful, and the Decepticons joined forces with Orion's Autobots against Zeta Prime. Choices Together, they attacked Zeta Prime and his Omega Destructors, with Starscream personally leading the Seekers as air support. Overthrown After Zeta Prime was defeated, Megatron betrayed Orion and installed himself as ruler of Cybertron, then had the Decepticons hunt down all remaining Autobots. Starscream led a force to raid an Autobot hiding place in Ultrix and took special interest in Hot Rod, once again offering him the chance to join the Decepticons. Transformation Starscream also tortured and interrogated Bumblebee, but learned little for his efforts. Rise Orion soon returned, however, having become Optimus Prime, and with new warriors at his side, he led the Autobots in an attack on Megatron's citadel. Starscream and the Seekers were ordered to take them out but were intercepted by the Aerialbots. BroadcastMegatron was subsequently defeated by Optimus Prime, and Starscream conspired with Scorponok to overthrow him and have him exiled to Junkion. Derelicts While Scorponok became the new Decepticon leader, Starscream seemingly preferred to stay in the background and showed no signs of being his second-in-command in public. Wreckage He annoyed Scorponok by urging him to take action rather than just hold grandiose speeches, causing Scorponok to let him in on his plan to capture the Toraxxis mega-refinery for the Decepticons. Starscream participated in this attack by leading his Seekers to the refinery. Faces of Darkness Scorponok ordered him to keep the Autobot defenders busy while he left to deal with Grimlock personally. Rage The plan ended disastrously when the refinery exploded, killing thousands and leaving the planet cripplingly low on energon; Starscream berated Scorponok for his actions, unable to see any point in staying on the dying planet himself. Massacre Fortuntely, Megatron soon returned from his exile and retook Decepticon command. Starscream attempted to welcome him back, but was quickly silenced. The Illusion of Control There was a brief lull in the war, Primacy #1 before Megatron regrouped the scattered Decepticons for an all-out attack on Iacon. Starscream went to Canis Tor to inform the Predacons that Megatron was back and after that, bribed the Combaticons into coming home. Primacy #2 He fought during the siege of Iacon but it led in a Decepticon rout. Primacy #3 Primacy #4 As the war bore on, Starscream was present when Megatron faced Optimus Prime in open battle on Sherma Bridge, Chaos Theory #1 witnessed a yellow Autobot get destroyed in an Decepticon-Autobot crossfire in another of the war's countless battles, Drift #2 and stood side by side with the Decepticon Deadlock in many other combat scenarios. Drift #3 He would later admit that at one point, he had genuinely looked up to Megatron, but that changed when he realized that he feared the Decepticon leader, rather than respected him Infiltration #6 and was disgruntled that Megatron was leading them into a seemingly endless war. All Hail Megatron issue 10 That epiphany evidently led to further attempts to take leadership from Megatron, but in time, these power plays ceased, and Megatron hoped that it meant he had moved beyond such things. Infiltration #6 At some point, Starscream participated alongside Overlord and Thundercracker in a mission to rescue Soundwave from the New Institute. Remembrance Day Starscream would even eventually end up as Megatron's bodyguard, and developed a mutual hatred with Sixshot, professing that he would not be able to defend Megatron against such a powerhouse. Devastation #5 But Starscream's appointment to this position was largely for show—Megatron could, of course, protect himself, and would later reveal that he kept Starscream close by despite his predilection for treachery as a reminder to himself to always watch his back. Spotlight: Megatron At one point, Starscream's treachery reached the attention of the Decepticon Justice Division, who had him added to their dreaded list of targets. He was later removed from this list, perhaps due to Megatron's insistence on keeping him close by. An Axe to Break the Ice
