Starscream

**Starscream** (スタースクリーム, *Sutāsukurīmu*), is both a fictional character and antagonist of the *DC* series' *Transformers* Universe created by C. B. Cebulski. He is the leader of the Seekers and Megatron's sub-commander of the Decepticons.

Power-hungry and driven by jealousy, this treacherous schemer is the kind of guy who'd sell anyone, *even* Megatron out in a heartbeat for his desire for leadership and power. He operates through 5 ideals: patience, lying, sabotage, manipulation, and deception.

The very lack of loyalty isn't his only flaw: he has earned Megatron's scorn for his enormous ego, incompetence, panic, cowardice and bombastic gestures over the eons, and neither Shockwave nor Soundwave have much respect for him.

Wise bots are careful about turning their backs on Starscream, in case he actually manage to get behind and finally decides to shove in the knife. More than once, his leanings towards bombast have caused him to miss an opportunity. Sadly, he never learns from his mistakes.

"*You see, leadership is not something I fear **losing**: it is something I dread you **gaining**. In the moments when my all-consuming destiny lies ahead of me, **you** remind me of the need to **watch my back**. And **that** is your importance, Starscream.*"

—Megatron, to Starscream.
