Starscream

Starscream is a fictional character in the Transformers media franchise. He is one of the most frequently occurring characters in the franchise, appearing in almost all of its different continuities. Starscream is generally depicted as the second-in-command of the Decepticon leader Megatron who transforms into a jet fighter and leads the Seekers, a group of Decepticons who share his body type. Across most continuities, Starscream's defining trait is his desire to overthrow Megatron and assume command of the Decepticons. This is usually out of greed and selfishness, though in some continuities, Starscream has been shown to genuinely care about the Decepticon cause and wish to bring it back on the right path, perceiving Megatron as a corrupt leader who led the Decepticons astray. Alternatively, other incarnations of Starscream have been portrayed as unquestionably loyal to Megatron or as an antihero who has tried (and sometimes even succeeded) to make peace with the Decepticons' arch-enemies, the Autobots.
The original suggestion for the character's name was Ulchtar, which was a completely made-up name with no meaning. Bob Budiansky convinced Hasbro to name the character as Starscream instead.

==Appearances in Idea Wiki==
===Iago PUC's ideas===
*Starscream appears as an antagonist in the Disney+ crossover film Marvel's Transformers: Assemble and Roll Out, voiced by Sam Riegel.
* Starscream appears as a guest antagonist in Marvel's Spider-Man: Webbed Champion, with Steve Blum reprising his role from Transformers: Prime. In the show, Starscream was Megatron's second-in-command until, after taking over leadership on Megatron's brief absence, was banished and executed by his replacement Barricade. He was soon reanimated by Kree technology as a Predacon who can transform into a grey and red mechanical wyvern, and as Predaking's lieutenant. Officially appearing in "Legendary Universes, Part 4: Heroes in Disguise", he and Predaking come in conflict with both Cybertronian factions (Autobots and Decepticons) and Spider-Man's team of the Champions. After Megatron's ship the Nemesis is converted back into its old beast form of Trypticon, Starscream attempts to recreate one of the Kree crystal duplicates to take control of Predaking's armada for himself. But before he can finish, he is stopped by Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel and Bumblebee, and knocked into the ground, where he is squashed and killed by an out-of-control Trypticon.
*Starscream appears as an antagonist in Transformers: 'Til All Are One, voiced again by Steve Blum. In Season 1, he plays a similar role as in Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, where he takes over Galvatron's place as leader of the Decepticons following Galvatron's death by the hands of Metroplex. In "Combaticons Combine!", Starscream leads a poorly-executed assault against an armored Autobot transport which is disabled and accidentally destroyed by the Combaticons. In the next episode "Return of the King", Starscream holds a coronation ceremony dedicated for himself which is disrupted by a resurrected Megatron.
