==Accuracy disputes==
I've noticed that there is some argument about the accuracy of Starscream's toy. Some thing that the vehicle mode is accurate, while others think not. Judging from the toy gallery on Seibertron.com, it looks very accurate except for the blasters formed from his hands, which are severly oversized compared to both the movie model and the toy itself. Other than this though, the majority of the figure seems to be pretty accurate.<div id="wikia-credits"><br /><br /><small>From [http://transformers.wikia.com Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.</small></div>

:''Starscream is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:moviescream.jpg |right|thumb|250px|JETT NOT MUNKY! HA! Your fanboy angst fuels my spark.]]

'''Starscream''' is all ego, vanity, and self-interest. He will do anything to hang on to power or attain more. Though quite powerful he is at heart a schemer, contemptuous of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s reliance on brute force. Starscream believes that lies, manipulation, and clever deceit are a superior path to power.

== Fiction ==

{{spoiler}}

===Ghosts of Yesterday novel===

Starscream has ascended to Decepticon leadership in the absence of their former lord, and though he must "seem" to carry on the long search for the lost Megatron and the [[Allspark]] to keep his position as leader, his greatest hope is that Megatron NEVER be found. (Some loyal Decepticons, especially [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]], strongly suspect this and seek to frustrate Starscream's self-serving plans.)

===Transformers (2007)===
*'''Protoform Starscream''' (Deluxe, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-05'''
[[Image:MovieProtoform_Starscream_toy.jpg|right|thumb|250px|So we can assume this is the Screamer that fought the Ghost 1, right?]]

:Based upon the 'Protoform' (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the Movie, Protoform Starscream transforms into his 'Entry' mode cybertronic rocket thing. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic spaceship, with a visible bridge between the two dorsal fins. A flame decoration piece fits to the back of the 'vehicle' over the missile projectile, creating the illusion of a flaming comet. The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces.

:In robot mode, Starscream marginally resembles previous Starscreams, mostly G1 Starscream, with the large turbines on his chest, wings and vents on his legs. Due to his extensive use of ball joints, he has excellent articulation. Starscream is armed with a spring-loaded missile launcher that fires the previously mentioned projectile cast in the same broze colour as his body. Alternatively, the flame decoration can be fitted onto the end of the barrel.

:This toy also has an [[Automorph]]ing feature, as most of the figures in the main line do. By pushing his head back during transformation, his shoulder pieces move back into place, while moving them forward will make the head pop back up. It's also unusual as being one of very few "modern era" figures to have "[[kibble]]," in its original context; only the missile or the flame attachment can be put into the gun while in robot mode, leaving the other to sit off to the side somewhere (probably the flame).

: It's also entirely possible for this figure to eventually suffer from [[Gold Plastic Syndrome|GPS]], as the bronze plastic it is cast in has the same characteristic swirling that older figures exibited before it would deteriorate. However, newer materials and processes may prevent the toy from ever seeing a single crack form. It is highly suggested that this toy not be painted or altered in any way to maximize its life span. This means YOU, [[kitbash]]ers.

*'''Starscream''' (Voyager, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-08'''

: The Voyager-class version of ''Movie'' Starscream transforms into a very inaccurate, though officially-licensed [[wikipedia:F-22|Lockheed-Martin F-22 Raptor]].

*'''Starscream''' (Legends, 2007)

: Legends-class Starscream is a highly simplified, low-cost version of Starscream in his F-22 Raptor body.

====Fast Action Battlers====
*'''Battle Blade Starscream''' (2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''QC-02'''
:Battle Blade Starscream transforms into an F-22 like his larger version, but less accurate; apparently, his feet stick out of the aft end of his alt-mode noticably. Rather than having a seperate weapon, it only has a claw-like blade that flips over the hand.

===Merchandise===
*'''Starscream Barrel Roll Blaster''' (2007)
:This version of Starscream's altmode turns into not a robot, but a robot '''fist''' holding a two-barreled blaster. The guns in this form fire Nerf N-Stike sized foam missiles.

*'''Lunchables''' "Pocket Transformers" toy prize (2007)
[[Image:Starscreamlunchables.jpg|right|thumb|I come with crappy chicken.]]

:Free inside specially marked boxes of Oscar Meyer Lunchables dinners, Starscream was one of six "Pocket Transformers" toy prizes. Molded in green, his tablet unfolds to reveal a picture of his robot mode inside.

==Trivia==
* The back of Protoform Starscream's card features a photo of the toy with a differently molded head.
