<p>202.156.10.246: /* Leader */ Added Megatron and Shockwave as per Hasbro&#039;s latest announcements.</p> <hr /> <div>{{Nav-dotm}}<br /> The '''''Dark of the Moon''''' toyline coincides with the [[Dark of the Moon (film)|third]] film in [[Michael Bay]]'s [[live-action film series]]. The line is divided into three brandings: the [[MechTech]] line for Deluxe, Voyager, Leader, Ultimate and [[Human Alliance]] class size toys; the [[Cyberverse]] subline featuring [[Legends Class]] characters, Commander Class (new price point, effectively replacing Scouts) and play sets; and [[Robo Power]], a catch all line for various merchandise including role play. <br /> <br /> The figures also come in ''3'' [[transformation (toys)| transformation]] difficulty levels, changed from the original 5 in the [[Generations (toyline)]] and the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)]].<br /> <br />

<p>202.156.10.246: /* Revenge of the Fallen film */</p> <hr /> <div>{{disambig3|Arcee}}<br /> {{factions|autobot|NEST}}<br /> <br /> :''Arcee is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''<br /> <br /> [[Image:Arceemovie.jpg|right|250px|thumb|She's got legs, she knows how to use them. Temporarily, anyway.]]<br /> Though small compared to many of her peers and adversaries, '''Arcee''' compensates with speed and aggressive maneuvers, making her one of the most dangerous Autobots around. Moreover, Arcee is a born hunter. She honed her speed hunting [[Turbofox|turbofoxes]] with other speedsters, challenging herself to get as close as possible before tagging them with her bow. She's a crack shot with said crossbow weapon, and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] has trained her to use her speed to her advantage in battle, striking suddenly and swiftly and then vanishing away again as fast as she appeared. <br /> <br /> The events at [[Tyger Pax]] created a nagging doubt in Arcee about her abilities. She carries some guilt about [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s injuries, and part of what drives her is the desire to prove herself, not only in the optics of her friends and comrades, but most importantly in her own. She also carries a standing feud with [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] for [[The Thrill of the Hunt|unknown reasons]].&lt;ref name=&quot;battlebio&quot;&gt;[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Hasbro Arcee Battle Bio]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===<br /> [[Image:Defiance1_Arcee_vehicle.jpg|thumb|left|200px|]]<br /> <br /> Many, many years in the past, Arcee was a member of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus's]] science division, in charge of excavation site LT34 near the temple of [[Simfur]]. While Optimus was showing Protector [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] around, her team discovered a mysterious relic with a [[Decepticon|strange symbol]] etched into it. She led her superiors to the ancient relic and watched as Megatron and Optimus began to argue when the former demanded the relic be relocated to his private quarters, Optimus relenting due to a sudden alien attack. Arcee assisted with its evacuation from the dig site. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1}}<br /> <br /> After the attack, Arcee tried to save the life of one of the aliens, but was unsuccessful. She and [[Clocker (Movie)|Clocker]] moved the bodies to [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]'s lab, where they discovered that the beings were similar in structure to the Cybertronians, only lacking the ability to [[transformation|transform]]. Before they could speculate further about the common ancestry of the two races, [[Signal Flare (Movie)|Signal Flare]] arrived with orders from Optimus to assemble at the Simfur excavation site for a meeting. There, Arcee and the other scientists learned of Protector Megatron's demand for war and Optimus' thoughts on the issue. After most of the scientists agreed to follow Optimus, they travelled to [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]] to watch Megatron deliver his saber-rattling war rally. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2}}<br /> <br /> Ratchet, Arcee and [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] returned to the lab to analyze the other relic fragments recovered from the Simfur excavation, while Optimus, [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] and [[Prowl (Movie)|Prowl]] broke into Megatron's quarters to examine the intact relic. Before Optimus could explain to Ratchet the strange condition of the artifact, Arcee reported a finding—a symbol that appeared in the same place on all the different fragments: the same symbol that was on Optimus' head. Ratchet theorised that the legend of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] was true, and that Optimus was somehow connected to all of this. Later, at the dig site near [[Burthov]], Arcee, Ratchet and Optimus were arrested by Prowl's security forces on orders from Megatron for treason. What they didn't know was they were all being led into a trap, and the assassins Megatron sent would only take Optimus alive. After [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl's]] initial attack, Optimus ordered the group to escape to Burthov while he took care of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and his soldiers. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3}}<br /> <br /> Arcee was part of the team who captured the disenchanted soldier [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and brought him before Optimus Prime. Ironhide pledged allegiance to Prime and brought news of the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'', a massive starship that Megatron was building. While observing its construction and taking images of the ship, Arcee remarked that she had never seen its like before. During the subsequent civil war, Arcee defended civilians who were being targeted by Megatron's Decepticons for refusing to join in the war against Optimus Prime's Autobots. She was under the command of Bumblebee and desperately fought against Megatron's vast army at [[Tyger Pax]]. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:MoviePrequel1 Arcee Bumblebee.jpg|right|250px|thumb|&quot;Can I say something?&quot;&lt;br/&gt; &quot;Whatever it is now is not the right time!&quot;]]<br /> <br /> However, Arcee and the rest of those under Bumblebee's command didn't know the true purpose of their battle, for they were a diversion to keep Megatron busy while other Autobots readied the [[AllSpark (Movie)|AllSpark]] for launch from Cybertron. She was captured and interrogated by the Decepticons but survived the ordeal. She recounted to their Autobot rescuers Bumblebee's heroics in delaying Megatron, preventing Megatron from intercepting the wormhole-bound AllSpark. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Prime Directive (IDW) issue 1}}<br /> <br /> Many years later, following the death of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and the destruction of the AllSpark on [[Earth]], Arcee was in command of an Autobot assault team on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] and led [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] and others in an attack on [[Nemesis (Movie)|Starscream's ship]]. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream Issue Number Two}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:ReignofStarscream4 Arcee.jpg|left|150px|thumb|She's so happy to be home, she doesn't even care that Payload's looking up her dress.]]<br /> <br /> While her team made short work of the [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]], [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]], and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] drones the Decepticons sent against them, Arcee killed the Decepticon sniper [[Hardtop (Movie)|Hardtop]] before he could snipe [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Smokescreen]]. Her teammates were unprepared for the arrival of [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]], however, and he quickly slew [[Camshaft (Movie)|Camshaft]] and wounded [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]]. Remembering her failure at Tyger Pax, Arcee leapt into action, and soon she and Cliffjumper had Thundercracker at their mercy. The arrival of Starscream changed that, as he killed Smokescreen and Air Raid and badly damaged Cliffjumper. As she attempted to pull the last surviving member of her team to safety, Arcee was kicked aside by Starscream. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 3|The Reign of Starscream Issue Number Three}}<br /> <br /> However, Arcee recovered an instant later. The Decepticon starship was already taking off, but she jumped and grabbed onto a piece of landing gear, holding on tight...through the [[space bridge]]. Wow. Later, she made her way back to an Autobot facility, where she unexpectedly met Clocker and [[Crosshairs (Movie)|Crosshairs]]. Along with a large force of Autobots, the three moved in on the Simfur temple, where Starscream was using captured Autobots for a strange project of his. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream Issue Number Four}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:Alliance4_bikeAutobots.jpg|thumb|180px|May I introduce myselves?]]<br /> <br /> She split her troops into two forces: One would attack the city of [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]] as a diversion, while the other moved in on Simfur. Arcee and her team could only watch helplessly as Starscream drained the life out of the Autobot prisoners strapped onto the [[replica Allspark|replica AllSpark]], despite her friend Elita-One's pleas for mercy. An opportunity to cause havoc presented itself when [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]]'s forces attempted a coup. Arcee lined up her sights on the generator holding the life energy of the deceased prisoners, dedicated the shot to Elita, and destroyed it, annihilating the Cube and sending the Decepticons into disarray. Arcee's team fought their way through the disorganised Decepticons, linked up with [[Wingblade]]'s team, and rolled out just as the crippled starship came crashing down on the city. With the destruction of the capitol and the defeat of a significant portion of the Decepticon drone army, Arcee considered this to be the turning point of the war, but as long as Starscream was alive, he was a threat that she had to track down. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream Issue Number Five}}<br /> <br /> Sometime later, a reconfigured Arcee arrived on [[Earth]] with a small group of other Autobots to answer Optimus Prime's rallying call, but their joy was cut short with news of more Decepticon sightings on their new home. They caught up and reconnected through their training at [[NEST]]'s facility, as that was all the time they had. The new recruits were soon called upon to put their training into use: the Decepticon [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] had been sighted in [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Target Robovision bio===<br /> {{notemoviebio}}<br /> <br /> Arcee was on [[Earth]] for a short time at the beginning of the conflict there, presumably arriving shortly after Bumblebee. When the situation on Earth began to ramp up into out-and-out combat, she was reassigned elsewhere, where her stealth skills would be of more use.<br /> <br /> Now she fights in the [[Charii system]] against a Decepticon splinter cell working on a star-breaking weapon. If she has her way, the only things breaking will be their heads.<br /> <br /> ===Titan Magazines ''Transformers'' movie comics===<br /> {{Note|Arcee's appearance in [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s [[Movie Prequel (2007)|2007 Prime Directive movie prequel]] is in continuity with the following appearance in [[Titan Books|Titan]]'s comics, but the Titan comics are not in continuity with IDW's comics. Confused? You should be.}}<br /> <br /> Originally, Arcee didn't serve either faction, working alone to solve injustices in her own way. [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] personally decided to make an example of her, and only an Autobot extraction team led by [[Kup (Movie)|Kup]] saved her life. This debt saw her join the Autobots. She's chimerical in nature and is constantly changing her alt-mode in an effort to go as fast as possible (maybe that's why her robot mode always looks different!). She [[Arcee (G1)|previously had a hover-car form]], but on Earth takes a modified bike mode. Once you earn her trust, she's [[Rick Astley|never going to let you down]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 21|Arcee bio}}<br /> <br /> {{notetitantlg}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:Titan13 Arcee.jpg|right|150px|thumb|She's pissed off that she hasn't got her cool live-action design.]]<br /> <br /> Arcee was one of the six Autobot reinforcements hiding on the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}} When [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] attacked them, the quick-thinking Arcee was the one who took command and rallied the troops. When this still failed to work, she ordered them to Earth (following [[Strongarm (Movie)|Strongarm's]] initiative) and their prearranged targets. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} Alongside [[Armorhide (Movie)|Armorhide]], she guarded [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] while he destroyed the captive [[AllSpark (Movie)|AllSpark]] and thus saved Earth from being cyberformed. When the other Autobots had believed they'd lost, Arcee was the only one who outright refused to accept defeat. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}<br /> <br /> And, of course, they didn't lose. However, Arcee was left bewildered by the idea that Humanity would not trust and love the Autobots, and Optimus explained to her that, from a human point of view, all the Transformers are alien horrors fighting on their planet. Following this, she guarded the [[Savannah]], [[Georgia]] shelter and was caught in [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream's]] ambush. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Aftermath Part 2}}<br /> <br /> Among other engagements to protect the American infrastructure, she served with Bumblebee in protecting an Alaskan pipeline. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}} <br /> <br /> [[Image:Titan22 Arcee.jpg|left|200px|thumb|''That's'' better!]]<br /> <br /> She was later part of Ironhide's team in retrieving [[Nucleon]] from Cybertron, which ran afoul of [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 17|Return to Cybertron: Part 1}} She acted as Bumblebee's distraction, drawing [[Storm Surge]] and [[Fracture]] away, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 18|Return to Cybertron: Part 2}} and doubled back to regroup with Ironhide (and pull him out of rubble) when [[Unicron]] arrived. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}} Later, she got Optimus Prime up to speed on the situation. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}<br /> <br /> Following the Decepticon re-conquest of Savannah, Arcee was part of the raid to rescue [[Mikaela Banes]]. She got off one bit of bravado about how hitting things was her kind of shindig before [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] hit ''her''. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 22|The Decepticon Who Haunted Himself}}<br /> <br /> When the Autobots launched their final strike, Arcee was part of the spearhead team hittting the [[Decepticon Heartland]]. She started off the 'tagging' of Decepticons to teleport them away from Earth, getting [[Incinerator (Movie)|Incinerator]] in the back and looking very happy about it. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution Part Three}}<br /> <br /> {{Note|The following takes place in the Star Screams letter column continuity.}}<br /> <br /> Arcee runs a lonely-hearts ad column called Arcee's Soulmates in her spare time.<br /> <br /> No, really.<br /> <br /> ===Titan Magazines ''Revenge of the Fallen'' comics===<br /> <br /> [[Image:Titan5_Sidewayssideswipes.jpg|thumb|right|250px|I'm such good friends that I all dress alike!]]<br /> <br /> Arcee had been on Earth for some time before [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] arrived. When using all three of her bodies, she refers to her collective self as &quot;we&quot;. Back then, she was keeping her pink paint job! <br /> <br /> She went on to assist Optimus Prime in a [[NEST]] mission in [[Australia]], and so was in a perfect position to capture the Decepticon [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]]. Pursuing him in bike(s) mode, she found it near impossible to blow out his tyres and kept getting sideswiped by him during the pursuit. When a stunned Optimus ordered her to stay on the Decepticon's tail, she responded that the Decepticon's alt mode was far better suited for the terrain... inspiring Optimus to ''blow up'' that terrain.<br /> <br /> With Sideways stunned and taking robot form, Arcee sent one bike in to take him down but almost got hit before human military helicopters arrived to back her up. The mission over, she and Optimus took their prisoner back to [[Diego Garcia]], with Arcee escorting him to a cell. But surprise, [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] was waiting to free him! She was quickly stunned and unable to stop the Decepticons escaping. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===''Revenge of the Fallen'' film===<br /> :''Voice actor:'' [[Grey DeLisle]] (English), [[Masako Katsuki]] (Japanese), [[Martina Treger]] (German), [[Chiara Colizzi]] (Italian)<br /> :''Holographic rider:'' [[Erin Naas]]<br /> <br /> [[Image:Arcee-ROTFshoot.jpg|left|thumb|300px|&quot;Why couldn't she be the other kind of motormaid, with the motorcycle part on top and motormaid part on the bottom?&quot;]]<br /> <br /> Arcee answered the call from Optimus Prime to join his Autobots on Earth. Her consciousness was split between three motorcycles, all which could transform into individual robots, yet all three together were considered simply &quot;Arcee.&quot; Her components also have the ability to recombine into a single robot mode.&lt;ref&gt;The Arcee components combining into one robot mode is not shown in the film, but in all other media.&lt;/ref&gt; Under Optimus Prime's command, she was part of the Autobot/human military alliance known as [[NEST]], whose job was to hunt the remaindered Decepticons hiding across the globe. <br /> <br /> [[Image:ROTF Sideways Chromia.jpg|right|300px|thumb|You shoot like a girl!]]<br /> <br /> Arcee and the rest of NEST were able to trace two Decepticons hidden in [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. When one of them, [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], revealed himself, the three components of Arcee were released from a NEST truck trailer. Though Arcee was able to surround Sideways with herself and cover him in firepower, the Decepticon was able to elude her by jumping through a building. Unfortunately for Sideways, Arcee was also accompanied by [[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sideswipe]], who quickly put the Decepticon down.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Arcee-ROTFthreebikes.jpg|left|thumb|300px|The [[Chromia (ROTF)|blue one]] likes to sit next to [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] for some reason.]]<br /> <br /> While not on missions, Arcee was parked with the other Autobots in their hanger at [[Diego Garcia]]. It was here that the Autobots received word from the [[President of the United States]], via [[Theodore Galloway|Director Galloway]], that the White House was concerned that the Autobots' living on Earth was the reason for the Decepticon activity, and that if need be, they would ask the Autobots to leave. Later, after [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] died in battle and [[The Fallen]] issued an ultimatum to Earth, the US government decided that the Autobots would be shipped back to Diego Garcia.<br /> <br /> [[Image:ROTF Arcee shot.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Michael Bay displays his usual attitude towards women.]]<br /> NEST had a different idea, and instead shipped Arcee and the other Autobots to [[Egypt]] on the advice of [[Sam Witwicky]], who had the means to resurrect Optimus Prime. During the climactic battle between NEST and The Fallen's Decepticons, Sam and Mikaela attempted to make their way through the bombed-out Egyptian town that had become the battlefield. Arcee arrived with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] to escort them through the warzone, but unfortunately, her purple and red components were disabled by [[Buffalo MPV Decepticon|a Decepticon]], and only the blue component remained operational when she was last seen. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}<br /> <br /> {{note|According to Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, all three Arcee components were killed in the final battle.

She transforms into a &quot;superbike&quot;-type racing motorcycle. Unusually for a Transformer, she does not hold her weapon in her hands as most figures do. Instead, her Energon Bow mounts on a peg on either arm, with her hands being positioned to give the appearance of her using the bow. The bow itself is spring-loaded, firing a grey &quot;arrow&quot; missile.<br /> <br /> :Arcee (and the rest of the Scout wave) were [[exclusive]] to [[Target]] stores, where they were all part of a [[Robo-Vision]] promotion. Arcee came with a [[Robo-Vision Decoder]] which allows you to see the Robo-Vision Code (&quot;BULLSEYE&quot;) printed on her cardback. Starting [[June 2]], 2007, Target's website allowed users to input those codes to access exclusive content, a concept similar to the online [[Cyber Planet Key]] info from the [[Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'' toyline]].<br /> <br /> : This mold also was used to make ''Superlink'' Ariel Paradron Type, as well as the [[BotCon 2005]] ''[[Descent into Evil]]'' set's [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]], [[Flamewar]], [[Flareup (Timelines)|Flareup]], and the fellow Target-exclusive [[Movie (toyline)|movieverse]] [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]].<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Deluxe Class toys====<br /> [[Image:Movie Deluxe Arcee toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Pretty in...purple?]]<br /> *'''Arcee''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)<br /> **''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-11'''<br /> **''Accessories:'' Launcher, missile<br /> <br /> : Deluxe Arcee transforms into a purple 2006 Buell Firebolt XB12R motorcycle, genericised to get around licensing issues. Arcee has references [[Tampograph|tampographed]] on her vehicle mode, such as her motorcycle's model name, &quot;RC 1100&quot;, and her Massachusetts license plate marked TF7407, the original release date of the movie.<br /> <br /> : Arcee's [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] feature is located in her crossbow weapon (formed out of the seat/storage area of the bike), activated when the projectile (the bike's tailpipe) is inserted, which pushes out the recurved lath parts on the sides of the weapon. The rectangular peg which is supposed to be used to attach her weapon to her forearm in robot mode is sometimes a poor fit, and the weapon may pop off. As an alternative, the round peg by which the weapon is attached in ''vehicle'' mode can also be used in robot mode, with a little rearranging of parts.<br /> <br /> : Undocumented in the instructions, the two shoulder-mounted half-wheels contain a small niche on the edge of the tires. By folding the wheels down with the hubcaps pointing towards the chest and turning the tires towards the shoulders, one can feel the wheels gently click into place via the tire niches and hidden tabs in the shoulders, allowing the wheels to remain in place and more closely resemble the figure as pictured on its packaging.<br /> <br /> : As with most larger Transformers toys that become motorcycles, Arcee has a kickstand on the left side of the bike; unfortunately, it's mounted so low that she will fall in the opposite direction if it is fully extended. <br /> <br /> &lt;span id=&quot;Battle3pack&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;<br /> {{-}}<br /> [[Image:Movietoy-Arceebattledamaged.jpg|right|thumb|300px|She's a dirty girl.]]<br /> *'''Battle damage three-pack''' (Sam's Club exclusive three-pack, 2007)<br /> **''Accessories:'' Launcher, missile<br /> <br /> : A three-pack, exclusive to Sam's Club stores, consisting of redecos of Voyager Class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and Deluxe Class Arcee, both with battle damage deco, and an unchanged Voyager Class [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]].<br /> <br /> : This version of Arcee later was sold at Asia online retailers and in European retail stores in the same packaging as the first release of Arcee.

In robot mode, there is a spring-loaded missile between the tailpipes on Chromia's left hand in addition to the aforementioned non-firing blaster-stand. There is also a piece on the bottom of the vehicle mode (or back of the robot mode) that folds out, but there is no indication in the instructions as to what this piece is for. However, the piece can slide into a similar piece in the later Arcee toy, starting the supposed combined mode. <br /> <br /> :While the instructions depict the motorcycle seat remaining flat so that it ends up covering the bottom wheel, the robot mode more closely resembles the movie design if the seat is folded in and locked into a slot on the motorcycle's bottom, as shown on the back of the packaging. The packaging photo also shows Chromia's front wheel resting behind the robot's shoulders, while the instructions leave it above her head. Furthermore, while it is not mentioned either in the instructions or shown on the box, the stand can be attached backwards and rotated with the guns facing up so that it acts as a prop for the toy, allowing the wheel to actually touch the ground, and letting the toy look from the front like it is unsupported. In addition, the stand can also be attached to right arm as an inordinately large handgun by sliding the two pegs inside the gun into two slots on the inside of the arm.<br /> <br /> :Though the instructions do not explain it, the back of the blister card mentions she has a [[Mech Alive]] gimmick in her left arm. While it isn't quite the &quot;spinning gears&quot; the card refers to, swinging her left forearm towards and away from her body makes a blue piston slide back and forth inside the large gun.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:ROTF_Deluxe_Arcee_toy.jpg|thumb|300px|Help!

However, all of the designs on this chart were very early and later heavily revised (though [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] was revised far less than the others).<br /> <br /> * Arcee was originally going to be a member of the live-action movie's Autobot cast, but was later replaced by [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. According to screenwriter [[Roberto Orci]], they would have needed to explain the point behind female robots, which there wasn't any time for in the movie.&lt;ref&gt;[http://movies.ign.com/articles/801/801098p3.html Roberto Orci explaining the reasons for Arcee's removal from the script in an interview with IGN.]&lt;/ref&gt; Oddly enough, there was no attempt to do so in ROTF.<br /> <br /> * In another interview, Alex Kurtzman cited &quot;scale issues&quot; as an additional reason for dropping Arcee; allegedly, Michael Bay simply considered her too small as compared to the rest of the Autobots.&lt;ref&gt;[http://web.archive.org/web/20070714214451/http://www.wizarduniverse.com/movies/transformersmovie/005082421.cfm?page=1 Wizard interview with Kurtzman and Orci]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> * It's commonly assumed that Arcee's big part in the movie would have been the scene in which [[William Lennox]] starts his solo assault on [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] using an abandoned motorcycle. However, the screenwriters rejected that notion, stating that this scene wasn't written until ''after'' Arcee had already been dropped from the script—but if she ''had'' remained in the movie, that scene ''would'' have probably featured her as the motorcycle.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/2288318-post539.html Orci once again clearing up the story between Arcee and the motorcycle Lennox uses during the final battle]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> [[Image:TFJoshNizziArt1arcee.jpg|right|100px|thumb|]]<br /> <br /> * Arcee came ''this'' close to being killed off in ''[[The Reign of Starscream]]'', as the trade states that two revisions of the plot had her dying.<br /> <br /> * Arcee's transition from being on Cybertron, in her original (single) body, at the end of [[The Reign of Starscream Issue Number Five|''The Reign of Starscream'' #5]], to being on Earth, now (possibly) inhabiting three robot bodies, in [[Alliance issue 4|''Alliance'' #4]] has not been explained thus far. One of the possible reasons for this is that the identities of all the new Autobots who appear briefly at the end of ''Alliance'' #4 is kept from the reader (possibly at the request of [[Hasbro]] and/or [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]] to keep the identities of the new robots a &quot;surprise&quot;), and even though Arcee (or the Arcees) can be briefly glimpsed in robot mode, she's not identified by name.<br /> <br /> * Within the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie itself (and discussed in more detail in the novelization of the film), Arcee is revealed to be a &quot;[[tripartite Cybertronian]],&quot; meaning she is not one, but ''three'' motorcycles, who are controlled by a singular intelligence, in the vein of [[Reflector (G1)|Reflector]] in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]]. The ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline, however, has identified Arcee as only ''one'' of the bikes (the pink/red one), and characterized the other two as individuals, [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] and [[Elita-1 (ROTF)|Elita-1]]<br /> **In a similar vein, it was originally intended that the three individual &quot;Arcees&quot; would combine into a singular, larger robot in the film, but this did not come to pass. The toys do possess the ability, however, and the combined form did appear in the film's novelization, and in (apparently) two panels of the [[Revenge of the Fallen Movie Adaptation|comic adaptation]].<br /> **How to reconcile this new version of Arcee with the version seen in media associated with the first movie? The [[bio]] for ''Revenge of the Fallen'''s [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knock Out]] holds the answer! This motorbike Autobot wants to undergo the new &quot;combiner retrofit&quot; he's been hearing about, strongly implying that Arcee underwent the same process, giving her the new powers she has in ''Revenge of the Fallen''. Whether or not the process involves getting combined with other, distinct Autobots (as the toyline would suggest, what with Chromia being an individual) or if it involves the Transformer's body being converted so that it splits into combining components (as the movie itself would suggest) is unknown.<br /> ***On that note, in the film itself she refers to her components in plural form. Before chasing Sideways, the Arcees are seen in vehicle form with their holographic drivers activating, with a communications officer asking if they are ready. To which, she replies; ''''We're''' locked and loaded'. This seems to suggest that her components are individuals like in the toyline rather than just extensions of herself. Additionally, writer [[Roberto Orci]] said that Arcee was written as three bikes that formed one being, but [[Michael Bay]] kept them as '''individuals'''.&lt;ref&gt;[http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/2009/07/ask-orci-final-edition.html Roberto Orci answers questions on the Transformers Live blogspot, July 13, 2009.]&lt;/ref&gt; This was further corroborated by the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' ILM effects supervisor [[Scott Farrar]] during a question-and-answer session at the [http://www.siggraph.org/s2009/computer_animation_festival/sessions/details/?id=131 Siggraph 2009] computer animation festival, wherein Farrar stated that Bay dropped the combination as there was already so much going on at that point in the film that it would have only added to the confusion.

<p>202.156.10.246: Hot rod didn&#039;t revert back to his Nick Roche-designed form in AHM</p> <hr /> <div>{{nav-G1}}<br /> <br /> The '''IDW continuity''' is a rebooted ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' universe, and began in 2005 by [[IDW Publishing]]. It re-imagines the [[Autobot]]-[[Decepticon]] war as a galaxy-spanning conflict, with [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] abandoned as a dead husk, and teams from both sides covertly operating on various alien worlds to defend or destroy the native populations — including [[Earth]].<br /> <br /> ==Overview==<br /> [[Image:Escalation 1 a.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Remember that time when this didn&amp;#39;t happen?]]<br /> The IDW universe brings [[Transformer]]s into the modern day, dispensing with some of the more problematic elements that have dogged previous versions of ''Generation 1''. The Transformers here are recently arrived on Earth; the traditional &quot;crashed on Earth 4 million years ago&quot; approach is not used. Alternate forms are largely updated to modern day vehicles, with robot modes reworked accordingly. <br /> <br /> The series is notable as a much more &quot;cloak-and-dagger&quot; world than many previous iterations of ''Generation 1''. Earth is initially portrayed as simply one of many battlegrounds in a galaxy-spanning war of subversion and conquest. Also of note is that there is a reason Cybertron is not the site of conflict: the planet is a deserted wasteland, a result of the devastation it suffered in the war. The [[Decepticon]]s follow a [[Infiltration protocol|strict protocol]] of infiltration as they attempt to take over alien worlds. [[Alternate mode]]s serve a very real and important purpose of disguise, as discovery by natives is strictly forbidden by both factions. Open conflict is rare, and battles are often fought entirely in vehicle forms.<br /> <br /> The story opens on Earth, as the Decepticons there have discovered a wildly powerful source of energy, and break protocol to secure it. This soon brings both [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] to the planet, escalating the conflict. The humans are deeply involved as well, both innocent bystanders and active covert organizations such as the [[Machination]] and [[Skywatch]]. Various plot threads, many of them outlined in the ''Spotlight'' series, continually thread into the main story , and echoes of the Transformers' dark and distant past are beginning to gather strength as well.<br /> <br /> ===Cast===<br /> The series is not constrained by the needs of portraying a current toyline, allowing great freedom in cast selection. <br /> <br /> The story opened with an assortment of the more familiar 1984 [[Autobot]]s operating on Earth, with some of their standard 1984/85 Decepticon foes also present. But the free format allows fan favorites such as [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] and the [[Battlecharger]]s to be thrown into the mix, and even almost random additions as [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]] and [[Dogfight]] have played roles as the setting expands and more Transformers head to Earth. Many of the latter-day ''Generation 1'' cast have been shown fighting the war on worlds other than Earth, and even a few ''[[Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' Autobots have made appearances.<br /> <br /> === New alternate modes ===<br /> Most of the Transformers seen in this continuity feature [[alternate mode]]s updated to the modern day. Here are some examples:<br /> <br /> * [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]]: Dodge Sprinter ambulance<br /> * [[Runamuck (G1)|Runamuck]] and [[Runabout]]: Chevrolet Camaro SS<br /> * [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]], [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] and [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]: F-22 &quot;Raptor&quot;, but later they take the form of the older F-15 &quot;Eagle&quot; in ''[[All Hail Megatron]]'' for apparently no reason.<br /> * [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]: Nissan 350Z police car<br /> * [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]]: Lamborghini Diablo<br /> * [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]: Dodge Sprinter van <br /> * [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]]: Current-model Porsche 911 (aka 997)<br /> * [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]: Started in Cybertronian mode, then reformatted as a Walther P99 (with silencer and sight, but no stock) for Earth<br /> * [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]]: has an all-new transformation scheme with a robot mode similar to ''Armada'' [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]]. Initially his ground vehicle mode was an American M1 Abrams battle tank, but later assumed the form of a Russian battle tank (possibly a [[wikipedia:T-90|T-90]]) when the Decepticons were in [[Brasnya]].<br /> * [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]]: has a new modern diesel engine train mode.<br /> * [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]: Sony personal media player; however, he later reverted to his classic cassette mode for dubious reasons in ''All Hail Megatron''.<br /> * [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] started as a Cybertronic hot rod, but was reformatted into a Dodge Viper upon settling down on Earth. However, by the end of ''Maximum Dinobots'' and during ''All Hail Megatron'', he reformatted to his oringinal G1 form.<br /> * [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]] started in his familiar Cybertronic self-propelled artillery mode before being reformatted into a wheeled Earth armoured vehicle (possibly a [[wikipedia:Pandur 8X8 APC|Pandur 8X8 APC]]).<br /> * [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]]: Initially a Cybertronic hovercar, but later took the form of a Lamborghini Murcialago.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{note|In possibly an art error, one of the covers for [[Infiltration issue 0|Infiltration #0]] features Jazz with his original Porsche 935 hood/chest, though it's possible that at the time IDW and artist [[E. J. Su]] hadn't finalised the designs yet.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> ====Exceptions====<br /> * [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] (although he possesses a new transformation scheme, making for a different looking robot mode to his most familiar appearances)<br /> * [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]<br /> * [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], though he started in his Cybertronian form, similar to his look in [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]]'s ''[[The War Within]]''. Note, however, that even in his &quot;classic&quot; mode Prime is given a sun visor on his cab roof/chest and an overall more streamlined and modern truck mode.<br /> * [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]], [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] and [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] have their familiar modes, due to their travel to Earth in 1984.<br /> * [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] and the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] also maintain their original forms, having been buried on Earth since the distant past. However, Shockwave's body has been slightly streamlined, and both the Dinobots' robot and beast modes have undergone some heavy reworking to better reflect current science. The Dinobots started out in their ''War Within'' forms however, and Grimlock still sports the teethed face, rather than the traditional [[mouthplate]]. In Maximum Dinobots, however, he reverts back to a face similar to his G1 one, but with a big chin-like bit on the end.<br /> * [[Sixshot]]<br /> * [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{note|The ''[[All Hail Megatron]]'' series appears to have more of the cast returned to their more familiar ''Generation 1'' alt modes, possibly to draw more fans who were familiar with the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original cartoon]] to the comic series, or because Shane McCarthy [[GEEWUN | does not like change]]. Also, the Decepticon cast by this point is nearly identical to that of the late Season 1 cartoon. Other characters have assumed bodies based upon their toys from the 2008 ''[[Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' toylines.}}<br /> <br /> ===Technology===<br /> Several aspects of Transformer technology have been re-evaluated for the series. <br /> <br /> Most prominently, the &quot;facsimile circuitry&quot; dummy drivers shown in the ''Generation 1'' [[Marvel Comics continuity]] have been replaced by sophisticated solid-light projections composed of &quot;[[holomatter]]&quot;. Holomatter generators are built into each member of the Autobot contingent on Earth; they can function as an avatar for their respective Autobot, even quite some distance away, allowing the Autobots to covertly interact with a planet's natives. <br /> <br /> The Decepticons, in a similar vein, make use of [[Facsimile Construct|facsimile constructs]] — synthetic humans grown in special pods from the bodies and minds of kidnapped &quot;template&quot; humans. These replicas are used to destabilize the societies of planets the Decepticons wish to conquer.<br /> <br /> Both sides also possess a variant of teleportation technology, seen for example when Megatron travels to Starscream's [[Oregon]] command bunker. This &quot;[[orbital bounce]]&quot; can apparently be coordinated from an [[Ark (disambiguation)|Ark]] spacecraft or the Decepticons' bunker headquarters. Nightbeat describes it as &quot;not the most pleasant way to travel&quot;.<br /> <br /> [[Size changing]] is a rarity, generally abandoned in these energy-short times. Megatron, originally possessing a tank mode, is encouraged by the energy-rich [[Ultra-Energon|Ore-13]] and takes on a size-changing alternate form when he arrives on Earth. His transformation sequence and its attendant mass-displacement process consumes a great deal of energy, and is thus surprising to the Autobots who observe it. Why Soundwave and his cassettes utilized it remains unknown, though perhaps it was a necessity to further his role as a spy.<br /> <br /> Conversely, certain technologies do not yet exist as of the series' starting point. Gestalt ([[combiner]]) technology has only appeared as a long-ago experiment, which yielded only the barbaric [[Monstructor]]. [[Pretender]] technology has likewise appeared only as a failed experiment, and [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] and similar binary-bonding tech is just now making its debut after years of covert and illegal development. All of these technologies appear to bestow greatly-enhanced power on the users, to the point that [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] devastated the entire planet of Cybertron with his Pretender shell, and Monstructor easily defeated [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]].<br /> <br /> ==Media==<br /> The continuity includes the following mini-series, listed in approximate ''chronological'' order:<br /> <br /> * ''[[Megatron Origin]]'' — Four-issue miniseries.

Over the centuries he's come to believe both [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]] and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] have lost sight of what is best for the Cybertronian race, and simply pursue their own agendas. At some point, he came to the decision that, for the good of the species, a new leader must emerge, and he would be that leader. However, over time, he became as corrupt in his own way as Megatron, although he prefers subtlety and deception to Megatron's brute force. Now, what may once have been noble goals are buried under layers of self interest, transforming Starscream into that which he supposedly despised.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{quote|Truly the universe favors those who persist.|Starscream on himself, &lt;u&gt;[[Ghosts of Yesterday]]&lt;/u&gt;}}<br /> {{quote|...I believe that Starscream [is] given to leaving out certain details.

He was patrolling the [[Eshems nebula]] when he encountered the fourth alien scout ship he had spotted in the same [[Units of time|cycle]]. As he related this to first officer [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] of the science division, this time the alien ship did not maintain a safe distance, forcing Starscream to attack, and he was damaged in the subsequent battle (and was late for a meeting with Optimus and Lord High Protector Megatron). Soon afterwards, these same aliens attacked Cybertron, and Starscream commanded the aerial forces in the defense of the [[Simfur]] temple near the city of [[Metrotitan (Movie)|Metrotitan]]. After Megatron was injured in battle, Starscream rushed to his side to enquire about his condition and to ask for further orders. He was informed to keep Optimus's team out of the military's way. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1}}<br /> <br /> {{charstubfiction}}<br /> <br /> Starscream was leading an assault on the Autobots at [[Tyger Pax]] when Blackout arrived to reinforce them. They witnessed the launch of the All Spark into space, and immediately Starscream and Blackout began to bicker over their next move. Seeing Megatron leave the planet in pursuit of the All Spark, Starscream decided that so would they. {{storylink|Planetfall}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:Planetfall Starscream yesweare.jpg|left|200px|thumb|&quot;Hey, what's that?&quot;&lt;br/&gt; &quot;I'd call it a TARGET!&quot;]]<br /> <br /> Starscream was concerned over the Autobots who still posed a threat, but Megatron ordered him to gather a crew to pursue [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime's]] ship. Unfortunately, Starscream's ship was led into a trap and crippled by [[concussion pulse]] weapons, throwing them off the chase, for now. Humiliated, Starscream and his crew limped back home for repairs. Sometime later, they followed the All Spark's trace energy pulse and the wake of Prime's ship to a solar system galaxies away. Landing on the [[Mars|fourth planet]], they destroyed [[Beagle 2 Rover|a primitive lifeform]] that seemed to have been created from the All Spark, and felt the tag of the life-giving object on the third planet. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream Issue Number One|The Reign of Starscream issue 1}}<br /> <br /> Starscream's team made planetfall on [[Earth]] in Afghanistan, quickly attracting the attention of a nearby US military base, which sent out an armoured personnel carrier to investigate. After it was destroyed, the Decepticons attacked the base itself. During the rather one-sided assault, a human agent of Sector Seven was impressed by the alien invaders' ability to adapt to Earth's finest weaponry. Starscream agreed that they were impressive, and killed the fleshling. After Blackout left the group for another nearby base, Starscream told his fellow Decepticons that their mission wouldn't always be this easy, as the Autobots were bound to turn up. {{storylink|Planetfall}}<br /> <br /> {{note|The events of Planetfall are inconsistent with the events of IDW's own Prime Directive prequel comic. However, the depiction of the Decepticon arrival in Afghanistan was later used in [[The Reign of Starscream]].}}<br /> <br /> In 2003, Starscream's infiltration team, consisting of [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] and Blackout, touched down on [[Mars]] and destroyed the [[Beagle 2 Rover]]. Starscream was disgusted with the rover, but Blackout and Barricade warned that there was an obviously intelligent species nearby, so they would need to be cautious. Starscream agreed, as long as they got to kill something. {{storylink|Prime Directive (IDW) issue 3}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:MoviePrequel4 Starscream youcangonow.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Top this one, Samus.]]<br /> Splitting up, they headed to Earth, where Starscream scanned an F-22 Raptor fighter jet being tested by the [[United States Military|US Air Force]] at [[Nellis Air Force base]]. He destroyed it, then adopted the vehicle form for himself. Leaving the scene of destruction, he radioed his fellow Decepticons to report in on their hunt for new disguise forms, which they did. He reiterated that their mission was to find the All Spark, to which Blackout responded with a reminder that the mission was also to find Megatron. Starscream dismissively replied, &quot;Yeah, right... him too.&quot;<br /> <br /> Later, Starscream and Blackout detected the unique radiation of the All Spark and investigated, but Starscream soon realized it was a trap by Sector Seven. Starscream destroyed several AH-64 Apache helicopters while Blackout attacked Sector Seven's bunker and attempted to hack into their mainframe. When the humans severed the connection, the Decepticons broke off from the battle and linked up with Barricade, who was in pursuit of the Autobot [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. {{storylink|Prime Directive (IDW) issue 4}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> ===''Transformers: Beginnings''===<br /> :''Voice actor:'' [[Patrick Hallahan]]<br /> <br /> Starscream led the Decepticons to Earth while following the beacon signal used by Bumblebee to call the Autobots. In typical Starscream fashion, he seemed more concerned about collecting the All Spark to further his own goals than to rescue [[Megatron (Movie)|Lord High Protector Megatron]]. Attracting the attention of a nearby military installation, they were attacked, but easily overpowered the humans, after which he and Blackout took their [[alternate mode]]s from vehicles on base. Starscream, along with Blackout, followed Bumblebee as he fled from a losing battle against Barricade.<br /> <br /> Later, when Sector Seven tried to use a false energy signature to attract Bumblebee to their location, the Decepticons picked up on it and followed. Realizing the signal was fake, Starscream pulled the troops out and waited for the Autobots to arrive and flush out the All Spark for them. {{storylink|Transformers: Beginnings|Transformers: Beginnings}}<br /> <br /> {{note|Transformers: Beginnings is a condensed, flash-animated retelling of the [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] [[Movie Prequel (2007)|Prime Directive]] Movie Prequel that is detailed above this section.}}<br /> <br /> ====''Ghosts of Yesterday'' prequel novel====<br /> Starscream had ascended to Decepticon leadership in the absence of their former lord, and though he had to ''seem'' to carry on the long search for the lost Megatron and the [[All Spark]] to keep his position as leader, his greatest hope was that Megatron would NEVER be found. Some loyal Decepticons, especially [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]], strongly suspected this and sought to frustrate Starscream's species-serving plans. [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] buddied up with him, but he did like to trick people. [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] hated him, but one shouldn't really read too much into that. [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]]'s opinions are unknown, but Frenzy's a complete lunatic and nobody cared what the pet thought.<br /> <br /> During a search of an abandoned solar system, the ''[[Nemesis (Movie)|Nemesis]]'' came across ''[[Ghost 1|a vessel]]'' that bore a resemblance to Megatron's [[alternate mode]]. Starscream went to investigate it, intending to destroy it. After chasing off [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], he communicated with the creatures aboard the vessel, who called themselves [[human]]s. Starscream claimed that his people once lived with the [[Autobot]]s, and that their treacherous leader, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], started a war for the All Spark. The humans told him of a robotic creature that they had found on their world, and Starscream, recognizing it as Megatron, told them it was an Autobot scout. While communicating with them, he downloaded all the information on their computers, learning that the All Spark was also located on Earth. He offered to help the humans to return to their world if they helped Starscream's group attack the Autobots, hoping that Prime would destroy them and be guilt-stricken in the process. The humans attacked Optimus and Bumblebee, but the two Autobots escaped. After their ship sank into a cavern, Starscream revealed his true nature and abandoned them. As a result, the humans concluded neither faction could be fully trusted. Way to make first contact there, Screamer.<br /> <br /> Returning to the battle, he lied to his fellow Decepticons, claiming that the two Autobots were dead and that he'd been unable to communicate with the humans. Blackout, unconvinced by the story, challenged Starscream to single combat. Starscream won, and the Decepticons launched an attack on the ''[[Ark (Movie)|Ark]]''. Unfortunately for Starscream, Optimus, Bumblebee and the human vessel showed up. Starscream, fearful of the information that the ship contained, ordered the Decepticons to destroy it. Unfortunately, Starscream experienced a minor mutiny when Bonecrusher and Blackout demanded answers, and even Barricade wanted to know why. As the battle drew to a close, Starscream was in a position to terminate Prime but came under fire from the humans' weapons. Seriously damaged, Starscream finished them off with a single plasma blast, then ordered the Decepticons to retreat, despite the advantage they had over the Autobots. The Autobots figured that Starscream would not risk traveling to [[Earth]] for fear of losing power, but Prime figured that it was only a matter of time before the desire for vengeance and the lure of the All Spark brought the Decepticons to that world. {{storylink|Ghosts of Yesterday}}<br /> <br /> ====Sector Seven Alternate Reality Game====<br /> [[Image:Starscream 1982.jpg|200px|thumb|Masterpiece attack!]]<br /> Disguised as an F-15 Eagle fighter jet, Starscream was active on Earth in early 1982, with documented sightings of jets sporting his unique colors on several continents before he was caught on camera transforming to robot mode in California. This sighting (and its subsequent leak) was the direct impetus for [[Hungry Dragon|Hungry Dragon 1]].<br /> <br /> {{note|This seemingly contradicts Starscream's 2003 arrival on Earth in [[IDW Publishing|IDW's]] ''Prime Directive'' prequel comic, though [[Transformers Comic issue 9|in a letter's column for Titan's Transformers comic]], Starscream refers to spending some time as an F-15. It's possible Starscream simply concealed an earlier visit to Earth because he had no desire for the Decepticons to find Megatron.}}<br /> <br /> Later, during late April/early May of 2007, [[Sector Seven]] intercepted two sound clips through Agent Cod3x and another source (currently unknown). Apparently, Starscream wanted to make his presence known and left a message announcing that he would have the All Spark, and that Agent Powers would be the one to hand it over. These messages were somewhat garbled, as they were apparently received over a SETI@home system. So far, only these two &quot;blips&quot; have been analyzed (the second still needing work), but more may come in the near future. {{storylink|Sector Seven (game)}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> ===''Transformers'' (2007 film)===<br /> :''Voice actor:'' [[Charlie Adler]] (English), [[Tadashi Miyazawa]] (Japan), [[José Sant'anna]] (Brazil), [[Axel Lutter]] (German)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Starscream missiles.JPG|left|200px|thumb|Starscream lacking the null-ray could destroy the universe as we know it. But we have others, so it's okay.]]<br /> Starscream was lying in wait at a [[United States Military|US]] air base when covert agent [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] reported that the [[All Spark]] had been located, along with Megatron, underneath [[Hoover Dam]]. Though he had long feared this day would come, Starscream ordered the rest of the Decepticons to mobilize. The others responded, with Blackout rallying in the name of Megatron.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Starscreammovieheadshot.jpg|right|200px|thumb|It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a bird-legged freak that transforms into a plane...]]<br /> The first to arrive, Starscream attacked the hydroelectric power plant attached to the dam to cause havoc to [[Sector Seven|Sector Seven's]] operations and to speed the thawing of Megatron. With Frenzy's sabotage, Megatron quickly broke free of his icy restraints and escaped the facility. He almost immediately met with the waiting Starscream, who repledged his loyalty to Megatron. Demanding to know what had happened to the All Spark, Megatron was told by his [[second-in-command]] that it was now in the possession of the humans. Furious, Megatron berated his lieutenant for yet another failure. What a warm reunion.<br /> <br /> During the assault on a [[Mission City|nearby city]], Starscream fooled [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox's]] unit by posing as an [[wikipedia:F-22 Raptor|F-22 Raptor]] providing cover. Starscream launched an attack that crippled [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] as [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] realized too late who the fighter really was. As [[Sam Witwicky|ladiesman217]] ran with the All Spark, Starscream swooped down, blocking his path, only to be attacked by both Ironhide and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]. After fighting without much effort, but still besting them, Starscream took to the skies again, instead of securing the All Spark from the now-defenseless ladiesman217. <br /> <br /> [[Image:Starscreammoviestillrobot.jpg|left|200px|thumb|How do you feel, mighty traffic? Yah!]]<br /> While Megatron attempted to retrieve the All Spark from ladiesman217, Starscream perched on nearby buildings and shot down an Army Blackhawk helicopter when it attempted to help the human evacuate the Cube. Eventually, real F-22 Raptors from the US Air Force arrived, and Starscream disguised himself. Pretending to be a part of their squadron, Starscream surprised the human pilots by transforming in mid-air and, performing the best display of [[jet judo]] in 20 years, destroyed three of the Raptors before he was fired upon. He transformed back into his disguise and fled, and was not seen in the closing moments of the battle between Optimus Prime and Megatron. (Or was he?)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Starscream bails.JPG|right|175px|thumb|I will rule the sequel, Megatron!]]<br /> Most of the Decepticons were defeated, and their bodies cast into the deepest part of the ocean. Ultimately, Starscream retreated from Earth to parts—and with intentions—unknown. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Toy bios===<br /> {{note|Toy [[Bio]] fictions are, of course, a [[micro-continuity]] who may not have significant (or any) bearing on the primary pieces of fiction such as the movies themselves.}}<br /> <br /> Fleeing from the Mission City fiasco, Starscream repaired and reenergised himself from a nearby power plant, then fled into deep space to find Decepticon reinforcements. {{storylink|#Voyager Class toys|Deep Space Starscream}}<br /> <br /> He eventually decided this was too time-consuming, and went back to Earth in a new stealthy form to wait for the Decepticons, altered by the energy signature of the All Spark's destruction, to come to ''him''. He succeeded in building a small army, and had them distract the Autobot forces while he launched a surprise attack on a lone Optimus. {{storylink|#Legends Class toys|Nightwatch Optimus Prime vs. Stealth Starscream}} The battle ended with Optimus still alive and the Decepticons beaten on Earth. {{storylink|Optimus Prime (Movie) toys#Fast Action Brawlers|Fire Blast Optimus Prime}}<br /> <br /> ===Titan Magazines ''Transformers'' movie comics===<br /> <br /> {{bigquote|You could mark [your letters] 'All Hail Starscream' so long as you make it clear this is in no way a reflection on our glorious leader or a prelude to some sort of coup. Just so that we're clear on that.|Star Screams}}<br /> <br /> {{Note|The following event is unique to the Titan Magazines comic continuity and thus doesn't occur anywhere else.}}<br /> <br /> Within seconds of Megatron's defeat, Starscream dubbed himself the new Decepticon leader, with the main problem being that he didn't actually have any troops to lead. To amend this slight impediment, he attacked several [[Allspark Mutation]]s and removed the energy from their bodies, which he then proceeded to implant into the corpses of [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]], [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] and [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]]. With his former comrades reanimated in this [[Zombie|rudimentary manner]], he directed the shambling husks to attack the Autobots, who were still recovering from their battle that had just finished. While the Autobots eventually destroyed the zombies, Starscream had escaped with several All Spark energy fragments still in his possession. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 7|Starscream's Militia}}<br /> <br /> {{Note|The following events occur in an alternate timeline/continuity where Megatron won the battle of Mission City.}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:Tf mag 10 2008.JPG|left|150px|thumb|So evil, boats spontaneously explode rather than face him.]]<br /> Starscream remained on Earth serving under Megatron—and taking orders from [[Dropkick]], who's got a higher rank. In secret, however, he was using [[Insecticon (Movie)|Insecticons]] to implant cerebro-strips in the heads of useful humans; at will, he could control their minds, paving the way for a more subtle conquest when he finally got Megatron out of the way. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}}<br /> <br /> He became aware of the moon-based Autobots and while ordered to join [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] in beating up [[NATO]], {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}} he got bored during the mission and left as soon as he could to attack the moon-based Autobots. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 2}} He beat them up and viciously taunted them, forcing them to take the initiative and go to Earth—just as he wanted. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} As he hoped, the Autobots eventually won, killing Megatron, destroying the All Spark and halting the cyberforming of Earth... leaving him free to take command of the Decepticons! <br /> <br /> On top of that, he got his hands on the nanovirus the Autobots used on Megatron. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}} He also took the All Spark interface module from Megatron's corpse and assimilated it. He started hearing Megatron's voice in his head some time after this... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 22|The Decepticon Who Haunted Himself}}<br /> <br /> One of his first acts as leader was to begin a bombing campaign against any human attempt to rebuild infrastructure or regain a foothold in the United States. He then organised an attack that would get all the Autobots together so a NATO tank regiment (its commander under cerebro-strip control) could wipe them all out. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}} While this failed, Starscream has still ensured the new [[President of the United States]] is under cerebro control—and the Autobots have no idea he's in command... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Aftermath Part 2}}<br /> <br /> As well as secretly overseeing scorched-earth strategies and attempted Energon grabs {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}}, he also gained [[Mikaela Banes]] as a cerebro-controlled slave. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 18|Return to Cybertron: Part 2}} When the bulk of the Autobots prepared to briefly leave Earth and had Mikaela watch over their [[Savannah]] base, Starscream just waited until they'd gone and effortlessly seized the place. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}} As a result, the six hundred square miles around the Autobot base were swiftly seized as an autonomous Decepticon nation, with all resistance smashed easily. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}} This means, shockingly, he actually ''is'' a better leader than Megatron. ''[[Jesus]]''. <br /> <br /> [[Image:Starscream Titan22.JPG|right|250px|thumb|&quot;Stop looking at me stop looking at me!&quot;]]<br /> He sadistically taunted Mikaela, hoping there was part of her that was screaming for help, before dispatching [[Jazz (Movie)|the corrupted Jazz]] and [[Kullt]] to assassinate Optimus. It didn't work. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 21|Hard Target}}<br /> <br /> While preparing an ambush for the Autobots who he knew would come for Mikaela, he ranted to the Megatron in his head how he'd been a ''far'' better leader and how he was about to kill all the Autobots. His ambush almost worked too, and he almost killed Prime himself—only for the Autobots to turn out to have had a better plan all along, and escape. Admitting to the voices that he had failed and demanding a strategy from then, he realised to his horror that Megatron's mind had wanted him to take the interface module and had downloaded his brain into it; the voice ''really was'' Megatron and he was demanding to be released! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 22|The Decepticon Who Haunted Himself}}<br /> <br /> He didn't release him, though Megatron did feed Starscream a strategy—blackmailing America into booting the Autobots out, then having Allen nuke their ship. This plan was a success {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 23|Revolution Part 1}}, and a jubilant Starscream despatched his armies to seize the United States, all the while having his mind-controlled humans hamper ''any'' military counter-offensive. He was ''this'' close to total victory when [[Stockade (Movie)|''Stockade'']] turned up, turning a third of the drone armies and possibly two generals to his side, sparking a [[Decepticon Civil War]].<br /> <br /> Watching everything collapse around him, a gibbering Starscream was visited by Megatron's voice again, telling him once again that the only way out was to release him and allow Megatron to live again... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 24|Revolution Part 2}}<br /> <br /> {{Note|The following details Starscream's tenure as letter-answerer on the Star Screams letters page.}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:Star Screams logo.JPG|left|150px|thumb|Hate mail!]]<br /> As of issue 7, he runs the letters page (renamed Star Screams from the original Mech Mail). He hates the letters, the readers, the comic, the editorial team, and probably the baby [[Jesus]]—but he's still got nothing on ''[[Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream's]] [[Armada (Panini comic)|letter-answering stint]]. The source of his misanthropy appears to be that nobody ever sent in fan-art of him {#8). The few things he does like are recycling and environmental measures (#14), girls becoming Transformers fans (#19), and [[To sell toys|humans collecting his action figures]].<br /> <br /> Autobot sympathisers are hunted down to be exterminated, especially those who dress up as Autobots (#8, #12 and #17), though Starscream appears to have a soft spot for his own fans—in #11, when a female reader complained her mum and aunt kept telling her she was too old for Transformers, he announced that the offending relatives had been shortlisted to spend forever polishing his armour with their own spit, bless. <br /> <br /> In #8, he revealed he hates the movie because his best scenes and lines were cut out, and #13 confirmed the Decepticon army loathes [[Michael Bay]] for producing pro-Autobot propaganda. This still hasn't prevented him from shilling Bay's second documentary ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', as he believes it will depict a Decepticon victory (#10) and is going to ignore the script if it says otherwise (#18). Since then, however, he has come under the sway of an unknown higher power in regards to the film, one Starscream fears (#22)...<br /> <br /> In #7, he expressed concern that this &quot;[[Simon Furman|Fur-Man]]&quot; was a [[Maximal]] agent, and warned that Titan Magazines would be destroyed if they continued to produce Autobot propaganda. By #13, the Decepticons appear to have taken over Titan and have imprisoned the staff and creators in cages, forcing them to work merely for food—it is surely no coincidence that during this period, Starscream became a successful leader of the Decepticons in the comic strip and that Starscream began wanting more issues brought out. This mistreatment is causing severe physical trauma to [[Steve White]] and [[Den Patrick]] (#19} though Fur-Man is still a free agent and is evading Decepticon capture (#21).<br /> <br /> He has incredible hate for [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], gleefully recounting the guy's horrible death and going berserk in #9 at the idea of Jazz answering the letters. <br /> <br /> While he has said he talks to himself to get intelligent conversation and doesn't trust anyone (#9), he has shown some signs of wanting company: he hoped the [[Seeker]] jets would all be reunited in the next film (#9), is trying to convince [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] to be in it too (#15), and wishes Ironhide would join the Decepticons (#16). Despite wanting to re-unite with Thundercracker, he shows contempt for the guy's lack of drive (#11). He views [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and Soundwave as potential successors if anything ever happens to him (#21).<br /> <br /> Starscream appears to have had several &quot;off the record&quot; adventures. He has revealed he once had an [[Starscream (G1)|F-15 mode]] and liked it (#9), openly confirming he was [[:Image:Starscream 1982.jpg|active in 1982]] and the impetus for the [[Hungry Dragon]] cover-up. He also refers to [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] also being an F-15 (#11), implying both were active in 1982. He has also had some experience with and knowledge of [[Unicron]] (#12), something [[Transformers Comic issue 19|no other Transformer had]] and something that terrified him (#17), and in which he apparently witnessed Unicron trying to devour Cybertron (#19)... <br /> <br /> He maintains that his voice is not [[Chris Latta|scratchy]] in any way.<br /> <br /> ===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===<br /> Starscream assumed the role of [[Decepticon leader]] on Earth following Megatron's defeat and the destruction of the All Spark. Though tempted to exact revenge on the humans, he realized he might be the last functional Decepticon on the planet, so he escaped Mission City to recover the badly-damaged Barricade. Starscream gave him orders to continue his reconnaissance of the Autobot once he was able, and headed for Hoover Dam to retrieve Frenzy. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream Issue Number One|The Reign of Starscream issue 1}} <br /> <br /> Starscream made his way to Hoover Dam, taking out masses of human soldiers and a [[Landmine (Movie)|less-than-functional attack drone]]. Starscream took a [[Salazar|human captive]] along with Frenzy's body, but the fleshling didn't survive the Decepticon's trip to [[Mars]]. However, the trip, combined with the damage from the battle took its toll and upon finding his starship, he had to be helped inside by [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]]. The pair discussed Thundercracker's progress with the space bridge terminal, the physiology of humans and the abilities of Starscream's new form. While recharging, he ordered Thundercracker to download the information from Frenzy; however, an Autobot scouting party interrupted their efforts. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream Issue Number Two|The Reign of Starscream issue 2}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:ROSWannabet.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Let's hope that Dreadwing isn't revived by Unicron.]]<br /> Starscream ordered Thundercracker and the drones to deal with them while he prepared for take off. After recovering, he made short work of the Autobots and dragged a damaged Thundercracker inside the ship, before activating the terminal and warping to Cybertron. He handed Thundercracker over to [[Ramjet (Movie)|Ramjet]], and ordered construction of a new All Spark, based on Frenzy's data. Approaching Megatron's citadel, Starscream, still impressed by the power his new form gave him, destroyed the former leader's figurehead. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream Issue Number Three|The Reign of Starscream issue 3}}<br /> <br /> A [[Units of time|quartex]] later, Starscream ruminated about ruling over a Cybertron free of war or factions, as well as bringing certain [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|war criminals]] to justice. He arrived at the All Spark construction yard, busted [[Crankcase (Movie)|Crankcase]]'s vocal processor for whining too much, and chained him up along with [[Elita-One|four]] [[Warpath (Movie)|enslaved]] [[Signal Flare (Movie)|Autobot]] [[Grindcore (Movie)|prisoners]] on the new All Spark, ready to offer up their lives in exchange for a new life for Cybertron. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream Issue Number Four|The Reign of Starscream issue 4}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:StarscreamandWreckageAlliance2.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Yes, it is!]]<br /> <br /> Things sort of went downhill from there, though. First, the All Spark replica didn't work; then [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] rebelled. Then they saw that Arcee had snuck aboard Starscream's ship, led an Autobot attack on [[Simfur]] and destroyed the new All Spark. In the ensuing chaos, Starscream, along with his few remaining loyal subjects, fought off the army of Dreadwing drones and assorted other traitors. Starscream tracked Dreadwing to the space bridge as he took a starship through it. By the time the ship arrived on [[Mars]], it was damaged by Starscream's attack, but Dreadwing survived. However, Starscream also survived, revealed himself, and ripped out Dreadwing's spark core. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream Issue Number Five|The Reign of Starscream issue 5}}<br /> <br /> After Dreadwing's betrayal, Starscream relocated to Earth, his aspirations for leadership and his faith in his fellow Decepticons shattered. As he brooded and carved All Spark runes onto his exo-structure, he picked up a transmission from [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], informing Starscream of Optimus Prime's forthcoming journey to a Sector Seven facility where Wreckage was held. {{storylink|Alliance issue 1}}<br /> <br /> Starscream arrived on Earth not long after Wreckage escaped. The two engaged in a heated battle, each accusing the other of betrayal. Wreckage managed to gain the upper hand, but the timely arrival of Bumblebee gave Starscream the chance to kill Wreckage. He thanked Bumblebee by blasting him, but was contacted by Soundwave before he could finish the job. Shocked that Soundwave was still alive, Starscream was nonetheless pleased when he was told a number of troops were headed for Earth. After receiving co-ordinates to Soundwave's ship, a more enthusiastic Starscream left Earth, aiming to bring the troops aboard out of stasis. {{storylink|Alliance issue 2}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===''The Veiled Threat'' prequel novel===<br /> {{Note|The events of ''The Veiled Threat'' take place during [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Alliance]]'' comic.}}<br /> {{charstubfiction}}<br /> {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}}<br /> <br /> ===''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie===<br /> {{comingsoon}}<br /> {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)}}<br /> <br /> ==Games==<br /> {{picsneeded|Game screen shots, cut scenes, whatever}}<br /> ===Transformers: The Game===<br /> ====Autobot campaign====<br /> Starscream, Blackout, and a pair of [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] drones all took on [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] during the battle of [[Mission City]].

After receiving information from Barricade that Megatron had been located, Starscream ordered him to proceed to Hoover Dam, while he himself went to locate [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] and [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]]. However, the humans were aware of the three Decepticons and used drones, weapon platforms, and fighters based on Cybertronian design. Starscream was forced to move back and forth between Bonecrusher and Brawl, rescuing them from human attackers, all to background music far too heroic for someone of Screamer's character. After taking a moment to enjoy the ruin he had made of the base, Starscream proceeded to Hoover Dam. Blackout informed him that the structure was blocking their scans, so Starscream ordered him to tear it down piece by piece to find Megatron and the All Spark. When Megatron emerged, Starscream bowed before his [[Lord High Protector|Lord]].<br /> <br /> At [[Mission City]], Starscream took a moment to [[Ramjet (G1)|ram]] Optimus Prime during the latter's duel with Megatron, and tried to go head to head with Optimus Prime but was knocked away. After Megatron absorbed the All Spark and Earth was decimated, Starscream stood at his master's left side as the Decepticon leader declared their business on Earth was concluded. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)}}<br /> <br /> ===Transformers: Autobots (DS)===<br /> :''voice actor'': [[Daniel Ross]]<br /> <br /> While on a mission in the Arctic to find and destroy Megatron and recover the All Spark, [[Create-A-Bot (Autobot)|Create-A-Bot]] and Ironhide ran into the air commander during their escape.

Arriving on Earth, he instructed [[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|Create-A-Bot]] to follow Barricade until he arrived. However, none of the other Decepticons would trust him, and he confided in Create-A-Bot a great number of secrets, including the location of the All Spark and the identity of the lost Decepticon they were retrieving: [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. Starscream reasoned that he hid these things because revealing them would lead to a power struggle, but no one bought it except the naive rookie.<br /> <br /> Soon, though, the other Decepticons revealed the reason for their lack of faith (which Create-A-Bot found disturbing): Starscream was a morally ambiguous backstabber. Of course, Megatron wasn't much better, since he was a treacherous, black-hearted face-stabber, but at least he let you know where you stood with him. Once the Autobots returned the All Spark to Tranquility, he gave chase after a now-All Spark-empowered Bumblebee (in the single most frustrating level of the game), caught the &quot;babbling fool&quot;, and destroyed a meddlesome Blackout, until Barricade got in the way. <br /> <br /> After threat of execution for treason, Starscream proceeded to show the smaller Decepticon WHY Megatron picked him as his second-in-command: his brute strength and incredible battle strategy. After a severe thrashing, Create-A-Bot arrived with intent to kill. However, Starscream now had the All Spark and was nearly unstoppable. They proceeded to battle over the Casino Strip, where Create-A-Bot took the All Spark from him and smashed it into his chest. Create-A-Bot was knocked back and severely damaged by the blast, but Starscream remained as powerful as ever, perhaps more so now that the All Spark had merged with his body. However, as was quickly proven, [[Starscream (G1)|Starscreams]] who receive [[Starscream (Armada)|ungodly power]] tend to explode, as Megatron found him and proceeded to chase and tear him apart. In his last breath, Starscream spat on Megatron's name, saying there would always be those who would question his power. Megatron simply replied by smashing his face in. {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers: Decepticons}}<br /> <br /> {{note|Starscream's body type is available in two forms, the regular Starscream playable in certain missions (unlocked by beating the game) and G1 Starscream, based on the Target exclusive retooling/redeco.

This mode somewhat resembles a Cybertronic spaceship, with a visible bridge between the two dorsal fins. A flame decoration piece fits onto the back of the &quot;vehicle&quot; over the missile projectile, creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail . The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces.<br /> <br /> :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 bronze color as his body. Alternatively, the flame decoration can be fitted onto the end of the barrel.<br /> <br /> :This toy also has an [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] feature, as most of the figures in the main line do. Pushing his head back during transformation will move his shoulder pieces back into place, while moving the shoulders forward will make the head pop back up. While either the missile or the flame can be placed into the gun, the flame can be placed onto the missile, using both at once. However, in some cases, the flame does not have a snug fit on the missile and falls off easily. This makes firing the missile rather awkward and makes the gun look extremely goofy.<br /> <br /> : It's also entirely possible that this figure will eventually suffer from [[Gold Plastic Syndrome|GPS]], as the bronze plastic it is cast in has the same characteristic swirling exhibited by older figures that rapidly deteriorated. 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 lifespan.<br /> <br /> *'''Protoform Starscream Fusion Cluster Edition''' (C3xHobby Convention exclusive Deluxe, Japan 2007)<br /> **''Accessories:'' Gun with missile and flame attachment<br /> <br /> :An extensive redeco of the Protoform Starscream mold that was exclusively available at the Japanese C3xHobby Convention in August of 2007, and later offered by [[e-Hobby]] in limited quantities.

During transformation, pushing up upon the canopy fuselage piece activates Starscream's [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] gimmick, which pushes panels out of the torso, wings and stabilizers. In robot mode, Starscream is mostly faithful to his movie CGI model, except for being bulkier around his chest, lacking engines on his back and having the very large Gatling cannons serve as his arms (a facsimile of his much slenderer weapons from the movie). Interestingly, his projectile missiles are sculpted to resemble fingers, should users choose keep them loaded while Starscream is in robot mode. An interesting note is [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle's]] (or Camshaft's) hands, when detached, make a snug fit in between the three main cannons; if you're feeling sillier, ''Legends'' [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron's]] shoulder does, too.

In robot mode reveals gold paint inside his chest detailing and red for circuitry detailing. Oddly, his eyes are painted red, but the rest of the [[light pipe]] that makes up the back of his head is left uncolored, making the glowing eye effect no longer work while STILL retaining the miscolored bronzed glass color that the clear plastic was molded in, though the paint is fairly easy to remove.<br /> <br /> : Deep Space Starscream is presented in 'Premium Octagonal' packaging very similar to Robo-Vision Optimus Prime.

Although his F-22 Raptor mode's design is no longer severely compromised by the play pattern or transformation gimmicks that plagued the 2007 toy, it still suffers as Starscream's hands essentially stick out the back end. His robot mode is more accurate to the movie design, no longer burdened with having giant handless rotating missile launchers, ''Revenge'' Starscream has 2 arm-mounted launchers sculpted to resemble his [[wikipedia:M61_Vulcan|M61A2 Vulcan 20 mm rotary cannon]]. Starscream's [[Mech Alive]] gimmick is linked between his head and chest: when you turn his head, the gears in his chest spin.<br /> <br /> :The surface of Starscream's fighter mode and robot mode are covered in [[Cybertronian_languages#Transformers_.282007.29|Cybertronian glyphs]], based on his appearance in the [[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie]], but chronologically first appeared in [[Alliance issue 1]]. In a strange backwards step from the mostly-accurate Deep Space Starscream, ''Revenge'' Starscream's main base colour is a light beige.<br /> <br /> :According to the stock photographs of the hand-painted prototype, Starscream's hands originally had a joint down the middle of his palms, possibly to facilitate in hiding them in fighter mode. His arm-mounted cannons were also originally separate parts from his forearms, jointed to move back and form, again possibly to hide them in fighter mode. However, on the final toy, the hands are molded as one piece and cannot be hidden in vehicle mode, and his cannon's details (including the joints) are simply molded directly onto his arms.

What's more, this head design is featured on his protoform body in IDW's movie prequel comics.<br /> <br /> * His protoform was not the only design to get a new head. The earliest concepts of Starscream's head were more skull-like and oblong in shape. This was, of course, redesigned to look more &quot;like a samurai helmet.&quot; Unlike the redesigned head of Megatron, Starscream's earlier face only shows up in ''one'' piece of media: the book [[Look and Find Transformers]].<br /> <br /> * On-screen in the first live-action movie, Starscream has only one short conversation with Megatron and a total screen time of less than 10 minutes. The tie-in fictions are ''much'' kinder.<br /> <br /> * It has been suggested that, following his attack on the F-22 squadron over the city, Starscream was able to hide among the survivors and take part in the attack on Megatron shortly thereafter. This theory is speculative; while it fits the character of the G1 Starscream from the '80s, there is nothing actually on the screen to suggest it. (Roberto Orci was asked, but refused to give a definite answer.)&lt;ref&gt;http://boards.transformersmovie.com/showpost.php?p=387172&amp;postcount=185 Roberto Orci refusing to comment on the possibility of Starscream attacking Megatron during the final battle&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> * The Sector Seven online ARG used the &quot;[[Masterpiece]]&quot; version of [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] to represent the &quot;real&quot; Starscream who had infiltrated Earth. A lot of Generation 1 cameos were made in this manner. Make of that what you will.<br /> <br /> * Even though Starscream has only two lines of dialogue, José Sant'anna, who played the Generation 1 character in the Brazilian dub of the original cartoon, was re-cast to play the role in the movie. However, his voice was so heavily modulated that only someone with a really good ear could recognize him. Go figure.<br /> <br /> *Speaking of two dialogues, most of his lines are Cybertronian.
