'''Clone #2716057''' is one of the earliest [[Starscream clone (Animated)|clones]] the magnificent Decepticon [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]] deigned to create of himself. While not ''nearly'' so capable and captivating as the clone who succeeded him, the superlative [[Sunstorm (Animated)|Sunstorm]], this clone represents the delightfully sycophantic side of Starscream's inimitable personality.

After evading capture by [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]] and [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]], Starscream had Clone #2716057 destroy [[Emergency shuttle|the shuttle]] Prowl had used to travel to the Moon, then sent him and [[Clone number 3370318|Clone #3370318]] to Earth. There, the clone encountered the assembled Autobots, grandiosely lauding each of them even as they tried to capture him (though he ''did'' forget mighty [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead's]] name) under the mistaken assumption that he was fortunate enough to be the true Starscream. When Prowl took him down with a sneak attack, he also complimented the underhanded move, further horrifying the magnificent Prowl (who had done some understandable damage to the city while skillfully showing off with his fancy new mods).

The Autobots proceeded to bring the clone to the attention of the grand and glorious [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]], who had also been presented with the far superior Clone #3370318 by [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]], also believing him to be the genuine article. With both clones in the same place at the same time, Starscream's ingenious scheme was revealed: Both clones had bombs in their spark chambers that would have destroyed all of his enemies at once, had that master ninja Prowl not welded his borrowed mods to the pair and launched them high into the sky to avoid destroying Old Detroit when they exploded. How clever! {{storylink|A Fistful of Energon}}

==Notes==

* Unidentified in his original appearance, Clone #2716057 was later "named" (so to speak) by ''[[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac|The AllSpark Almanac]]''.
* The numerical string that serves as this clone's name is taken from ''[[wikipedia:Futurama|Futurama]]'', where it is the serial number of the robot Bender.
