:''The Orbital Assault Carriers are mass-produced Decepticon starships from the [[Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]] portion of the [[live-action film series|live-action]] [[continuity family]].''

'''Orbital Assault Carriers''' were used to give the Decepticons controlling Chicago air superiority. They have multiple configurations, presumably for different roles.

They get stolen. A lot.

:A brand-new [[Cyberverse]] Legion-class mold, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] comes with an “Assault Craft” similar to the kind the Decepticons use in the film. It can convert into a “Battle Station” for Starscream to stand or sit on, and a “Space Cruiser” for Starscream’s jet mode to rest on. There are molded wheels on Starscream to nestle into the groves on top of the carrier. Sadly, a cavity on the back keeps multiple planes from being able to rest on it. All three modes sit on small wheels, and there is an additional platform below for Starscream to rest on in jet mode, although he has to face backwards.

:Several [[MechTech]] ports are available on the craft, and the removable missile launcher has a handle for it to be held by smaller Cyberverse figures as well as a 5mm post for it to attach to larger figures. There are also several [[C joint]] bars on the engines, plus one clip on the right side for connecting to other playsets.

:There is an included cardboard backdrop for display, depicting Chicago under siege.

[[Image:Dreammix Licca.jpg|right|120px|thumb|If Barbie was hiding nunchucks in her knickers]]
'''Licca Kayama''' (香山リカ ''Kayama Rika''), or '''Licca-chan''' if you prefer to be kawaii desu~ ^_^, is a bright, energetic fifth-grader. She is [[Minerva|half-French and half-Japanese]]. Her attacks largely consist of her slapping opponents while performing pirouettes. However, she is also able to utilize the "Licca Turn" technique, which allows her to drain the life from opponents into herself. Licca can also perform this move while holding an opponent, thereby hugging the life out of them.

As part of [[DreamMix TV]]'s attempt to pull in more ratings, Licca was invited to battle bunches of other beings, including [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] on the television show ''[[World Fighters]]''. {{storylink|DreamMix TV World Fighters}}

==Notes==
*[[wikipedia:Licca-chan|Licca Kayama]] is from [[Takara]]'s ''Licca-chan'' toyline. This line of fashion dolls began in [[1967]] and is one of Takara's longest-running and most successful franchises.

*A short animated film based on the then-current version of the line, ''Super Doll Licca-chan'', was packaged alongside a ''[[Microman]]'' short film and the ''[[Beast Wars (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' episode "[[Cutting Edge]]" for a Takara triple-feature theatrical release.

[[Image:KSAvatar.jpg|right|thumb|My name is Michael J. Kaboose, and I hate babies!]]

'''[[Starscream (G1)|King]] [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]]''' is one of the many pseudonyms used by this user. His first transforming toy was a dollar store type tank that is still common in Eckard and CVS stores on the east coast. His first true Transformer was [[Deluge (G2)|Deluge]], a Decepticon with a working watergun weapon, given as a present in 1993. He currently has a collection in excess of 200 figures, which is constantly growing. He also helps run an online art studio, which is currently being overhauled

==Bio==
K.S. was born in June of 1986. He has been an avid Transformers fan since the age of 5, collection figures and watching the cartoons since he first discovered them. Over the next 15 years, he would acquire (and sometimes donate) figures from most of the toylines. Over the course of his life, over 300 figures have been in the collection, though by giving some away to those less fortunate enough to not own any Transformers, the number had shrunk to 119. Since then, however, it has steadily grown, particularly around the ''Cybertron'' era. Starscream loves not only the toys but the various TV series, with ''[[Beast Wars (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' being his favorite.

But '''GOOD GOSH''' does he hate elitism. Just because you like one particular series does not mean that everything else [[Ruined FOREVER|ruined Transformers]]. Being a fan is one thing; being a jerk about it is another. On a similar note, [[Transformers (2007)|Bayformers]] wasn't a bad movie; it just wasn't incredibly good Transformers media (but the DS games were better). Some good came of it, particularly advancements in toy technology.

==Collection==
King's collection spans the entire history of Transformers, leading all the way back to [[Takara]]'s [[Diaclone]] series, up to the newest figures in the [[Transformers (2007)|Movie]] line. There are currently 288 toys in this collection:

* 86 [[Autobot|Autobots]]/[[Maximal|Maximals]] (85 unique)
* 84 [[Decepticon|Decepticons]]/[[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]]
* 95 [[Mini-Con|Mini-Cons]] (87 unique)
* 19 other alignment
* 1 human
* 1 ship figurine
* 1 helmet
* 1 AllSpark Rubix cube

With the release of the movie figures, KS's collection shot up to over 160 toys, including Starscream, Optimus, and Megatron. With the recent release of the movie line, three new figures, the first of a whole line soon to be puchased, have been added. This has made this collection complete as having at least one toy from every animated or live-action continuity released in America. It's also completist in having all movie characters who actually appeared in the movie. This includes '09 Bumblebee and Jazz, as well as several characters not in the movie. There is also at least one of every mold used for the movie line (except for exclusives and Real Gear Robots).

In addition to toys, there are also a small number of DVDs.

* G1 Season 2 vol. 1
* Beast Wars (six individual episode DVDs)
* Armada season 1 pt. 1
* [[Hidden]] (Cybertron)
* ''The Ultimate Battle''
* ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''
* ''[[Transformers (2007)]]''
* ''Transformers Beginnings''
* ''The Battle Begins: Part 1'' (Animated)

This collection is ever-expanding and will continue to do so until either Hasbro ends the Transformers line or KS dies, whichever comes first. Though not particularly huge, it is quickly getting bigger and bigger.

===Kitbashing/Kitmodding===
A lot of figures in King Starscream's collection have been kitmodded or kitbashed, usually for better show accuracy or due to improper assembly. These include Movie Megatron, ''Cybertron'' Ransack, and most of the 10th Anniversary Beast Wars figures.

While searching eBay, an Energon Scorponok missing both feet, 1 missile, and 1 smokestack/gun was puchased for two dollars. This will be his first major scratch kit job done for replacement parts.

===Notable figures===
* '''Encore [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]''' - A straight re-issue of the original Japanese Starscream from Gen 1. It's both a [[Partformer|Lego]] and a [[brick]]. Articulation is limited to the shoulders and wing hinges, and while it is part of a fantastic era in Transformer's history, it proves that [[User:ItsWalky|Ethan]] was right: just cause it was from your childhood doesn't mean it was better than what came later.

:In many ways, this was "the one that got away" for a long time. With the acquisition of this figure, it complete's KS's collection of every American released Starscream toy, excluding redecos (sort of cheating, since it's Japanese, but still).

* '''Anime Galvatron''' - a [[redeco]] of Gen 1 Galvatron in show-accurate colors. It comes with a Photon Rifle and a golden [[Matrix of Leadership]] with a necklace for Galvatron. Since it is a Takara import, it has a voice chip with the Japanese seiyuu's voice recorded.

* '''Diaclone Dino Robo T-Rex''' - The precursor to the Dinobot [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]. While identical in form, the main difference is the plate on its crotch. Instead of [[RIBFIR|red, it's blue]]. While old, most of the vacuum metalized paint is still on it, and the joints aren't too worn out.

* '''Unicron''' - The Chaos Bringer's Armada incarnation is an increadible piece of work, with more articulation than any other Supreme class toy to date. with 27 Mini-Con plugs, it can easily be filled with enough left over to accomidate the rest of the Armada figures in this collection.

* '''Primus''' - The ''Cybertron'' figure was the first time his planet form was a toy, with higher detail but slightly less articulation than Unicron. Slightly shorter than the planet eater.

*'''[[Transmutate (character)|Transmutate]]''' - Having collected the entire 10th Anniversary set for Beast Wars, Transmutate is now a highly prized member of this collection. Considering many fans only got [[Rattrap]] and [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]], Seeing a complete Transmutate is something of a rarity.

* Most of the characters from ''[[Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' are imported, including the above mentioned Unicron. Though not necessarily better, some have higher detail or slightly different molding ([[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]], for example, has a light in his hand for the Star Saber. A [[gimmick]] if there ever was one, but it doesn't restrict transformation or [[articulation]]).

* '''[[AllSpark]] Rubix Cube''' - pretty self-explanitory. It's awesome, but actually harder than a normal Rubix Cube; the centers have to line up as well as the other pieces, and the pattern on the green side is kind of hard to tell how to line up.

There are nearly no recolors in this collection, and the few there are are meant to represent new characters (i.e., [[Camshaft (Movie)]] and [[Swindle (Movie)]]). It should be noted they are also played with, as they ARE toys and deserve love. Several have been [[kitbash]]ed for better stability or range of motion. For example, a layer of epoxy or glue is applied to a joint so that it isn't loose (allowed to dry before re-assembly), usually so that it can stand on its own. They are also going to be used in the UniCronicles. All of them.

==Webcomic==
Currently, KS is working on a webcomic known as the UniCronicles, a photocomic using the various character amassed over the past twenty years. While the story was originally a retelling of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] without the plot-holes, this line of thought has since been dropped for a more original take on the overall UT story. While it is comedic, there will be a lot of darker undertones to the story, including the deaths of several of the characers (because 200+ is a lot of people to keep track of) and the return of an [[The Fallen|ancient, unspeakable evil]]. As the author of the comic, he goes by the name "King Starscream," in light of the fact that his profile picture is of ''Cybertron'' Supreme Starscream, wearing his crown. It is more than apparent that Starscream is by far his favorite character, though newcomer [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] has a pretty awesome toy.

Currently, the strip is on hiatus due to a broken camera.
