Starscream

## How Starscream joined the Tourney

Starscream is the treacherous Decepticon Air Commander and the deadliest of the Seekers. He is also a big coward. The self-reported pride of the Cybertron War Academy, he's famous not only for his incredible skill, but also for his limitless (and troublesome) ambition. Starscream believes that he is more suited for command than the Decepticon leader Megatron. Thankfully for Megatron, Starscream's mutinous, power-grabbing plots are almost always transparent, and he can never muster up enough patience to complete a grandiose power play. Even on the few times he has taken control of the Decepticons, he quickly loses control of a situation, but is too arrogant to realize when he's in over his head. He never learns from his mistakes. The only reason Megatron doesn't turn Starscream into slag is due to the fact Starscream is very good at his job of commanding the Seekers. Despite his constant failures, Starscream believes it is only a matter of time before he prevails—his destiny is inevitable.

### Bombing Run (Hyper Smash)

He then flies at blinding speed above the arena and guess what comes from the side Starscream came from: bombs! When they hit, they will cause explosions twice the size of a Nova bomb. After the explosions, Starscream will go back.

### Sound Barrier Izuna (Final Smash)
