Starscream

**Starscream** is the Decepticons' second-in-command and a former Autobot commander who was assigned to protect a base holding Dark Energon and transforms into a Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor jet. He protected the base for more then 1000 years, until it was finally taken over by Megatron and his Decepticons, whom he joined after his defeat and became their second-in-command. He became the leader of the Decepticons following Megatron's death in the Battle of Mission City and in 2016, lead a mission in which he resurected their fallen leader.

## Biography

### Early life

Starscream was born on Cybertron slightly more then 1000 years before the attack on his base. Aproximacly 1000 years before the attack occured, he was chosen to lead the base.

### Protecting dark energon

About 1000 years after this, the Decepticons uncovered that with Dark Energon they could reboot Cybertron. When the attack occured, Starscream contacted Megatron's assault team to tell them they will never succed. Megatron howevhere led the group via the base, killing every Autobot

Protoform inside, before confronting him. After being taunted as a coward by the Decepticons, Starscream was knocked out by Brawl and soon after, the Decepticons managed to steal the Dark Energon and deliver it to The Fallen. For unknown reasons Starscream joined the Decepticons later on and became their second-in-command.

### Assault on the Energon Plant

At some point after joining the Decepticons, Starscream took Sideways and Breakdown to an Energon Plant with their goal being to kill the four Autobots - Arcee, Elita-One, Chromia and J4U - that were guarding an Autobot Sector located only meters away from the plant. When they arrived, STarscream hid behind the elevator while Breakdown and Sideways triggered the alarm by breaking into the infirmary. The plan worked as the Autobots quickly came to the base with Arcee, Elita and Chromia going into the elevator in order to check the upper and lower floors for Decepticons while J4U went to the infirmary where he encountered Sideways and Breakdown and locked them in. Starscream then bombed the elevator and killed Elita and Chromia before going into a fire fight with Arcee and J4U, with him killing the former before retreating. Although J4U survived, the mission was a succes for the Decepticons as they killed three of their targets, took over an Autobot Sector and lost none of their members.

Later on, the Cube, an ancient artifact that created the Cybertronian race, was lost and Megatron went to retrive it but crash-landed on Minecraftia before doing so.

### Saving Megatron

In 2014 Starscream travelled to Minecraftia in order to get the Cube. He flew to the Hoover Dam and blew a hole in it's side which freed Megatron who was held frozen there. Megatron then asked what happened to the Cube to which Starscream replied that the humans had taken it. Megatron told Starscream that he failed him again and to get the Cube. He later flew over Mission City and shot down a helicopter, killing the pilot, who was working with the Autobots.

### Battling the Autobots

When the millitary arrived into the city and grouped upt with the Autobots Starscream flew over them and bombed them, destroying Bumblebee's legs. He then flew to Blackout and said that he encountered the Autobots and that they'll be coming. The two stayed on the rooftops and were confronted by Ironhide, J4U and Ratchet.

Starscream was thrown off the roof by J4U and attacked by Ironhide. When the Autobots made a tactical retreat he went back onto the roof, but he was punched of and wounded by the Autobots when they returned.

### Taking over the leadership

During the remaining battle, Megatron was killed by Optimus Prime. Starscream who escaped the area became the leader of the Decepticons and named Sideways his second-in-command. The Autobots and humans in the meantime made an alliance called NEST and they began to speculate that the Decepticons began to gather energon left behind by the Cube after it was destroyed in Mission City.

### Escaping the Autobots

In 2016, Sideways went to Shanghai with sevral Protoforms in order to get more energon. NEST detected some energon at the city and soon arrived there with the Autobots. Most of the group followed the larger detection made by the group, while Optimus, Ratchet and Jolt went after the smaller one. Following it, they found and gave pursuit to Starscream. He was howevhere able to escape, although Sideways and all of the Protoforms were killed. One of the reasons that the Autobots did not allow Sideways to escape, was because he would take the energon to him. The Autobots later shared their idea about what the Decepticons were doing to Seymour Simmons.

### Resurecting Megatron

Starscream was later on summoned by Soundwave, as the spy had sended Ravage to steal the last fragment of the cube. After he told him the news, Starscream attempted to execute Soundwave for treason but was told that he received orders but not from him. Starscream aknowledged that and said that he and the Constructicons will revive Megatron, but that they will need to distract the Autobots do to which he sended

Breakdown and sevral Protoforms to catch Subwoofer. While the Autobots were bussy battling the Decepticons, Starscream and the Constructicons hid onto a cargo ship at the Laurentian Abyss where the deceased Decepticons were resting. They then went into the water where Starscream took sevral parts off of Sideways' corpse. Starscream then placed the parts onto the lord and gave him the shard, resurecting him. Whilst doing so he commented that he hoped that Megatron will remember his loyalti when he awoke.

In secret, Starscream attempted to psychologicaly warfare against Subwoofer the hole time by making him remember the Assault on the Energon Plant by sending both Sideways and Breakdown after him. This was figured out by Optimus who told this to Subwoofer only for him to leave the team upon figuring this out as Starscreams plan was working.

### Reunion

After he resurrected Megatron, Starscream flew back to the Nemesis and awaited his return. Megatron arrived slightly after him, do to the fact that he stopped on the dark side of the Moon to check on something. When he arrived, Starscream welcomed him and was asked by Megatron why he left him to die on Minecraftia. Starscream told him that The Fallen demanded him to summon the Constructicon army and that in Megatron's absence someone had to take command. Megatron then simply said to him that this was dissapointing and that even in death there is no command but him. Megatron then walked into the room where the Fallen was

located, leaving Starscream behind. He and Grindor later accompanied Megatron back to Minecraftia in order to catch Sam Witwicky as he possesed the Cube's knowledge. While Starscream and his master hid inside a Factory, Grindor went to catch Subwoofer who was driving Sam and Mikaela. The Decepticon brought the three to the factory and dropped them on the ground. Starscream along with Grindor then spectated the duel between Megatron and Subwoofer, with Megatron eventualy winning. Megatron attempted to make Sub a Decepticon but at that moment Optimus blasted his way through the wall and pounded him away, forcing him to retreat. Upon that, Starscream and Grindor started shooting at the group, although the Autobots and humans got cover behind a fallen pillar.

### Decepticon Invasion

Following Megatron's retreat the Autobots went to pursuit him while Starscream and Grindor flew to the forest where Megatron was hidden. When the Autobots made their way onto a bridge Megatron destroyed it, causing them to fall into the forest below. The three Decepticons then took them on in battle, with Grindor and Optimus

both being killed. Starscream and Megatron were forced to retreat when the rest of NEST arrived, with them flying into a Decepticon hideout where the Constructicons were located. There, Starscream told Megatron that Subwoofer managed to save Sam much to Megatrons dismay, with him commenting that Starscream couldn't crush a single insect. Starscream defended himself that Sam was an insect among seven billion and that he could be anywhere, so Megatron ordered the Decepticons to reveal themselves to the world and to force the humans into finding the boy for them. He also said that it was time for the Fallens arrival. The Decepticons launched a full-scale invasion on the planet shortly after.

Starscream was later mentioned by Subwoofer when he explained to Sam, Mikaela, Jolt, Bumblebee, Skids and Mudflap that he left the Autobots because he tried to get away from any position in which he had any sort of power as long as Starscream had that power over him. Sub also told them about the day that Starscream killed Arcee, Elita and Chromia.
