Beast Wars II cartoon

[edit]

Starscream and BB arrive at the trap they've set for the Maximals combined into the Combination Stealth Mode. They split and later recombine to go after the Jointrons. When the Jointrons turn to fight them and hit the combined form with a missile, Starscream breaks loose. BB becomes furious and vows to protect his partner, which amuses the latter. A Fearsome Combination Plan? The Combination Stealth Mode was the last ability Starscream and BB showed off before it was Scuba's turn to shine. Who Is the Strongest Warrior!? Believing that they'd been ordered to fly into a trap, Starscream and BB combined into the Combination Stealth Mode. As soon as they spotted the Maximals and stopped believing it was a trap, they split up and opened attack. The End of Starscream

  • Starscream & BB (March 1998)
    • ID number: D-13
Aside from some minor deco changes (mostly involving new decals) and a very minor retool, this Ultra-sized pairing is very similar to the canceled Generation 2 Megatron ATB with Starscream set. In jet modes, BB and Starscream can combine to make the complete Combination Stealth Mode aircraft. BB and Starscream always came packaged together.
This mold pair was also used to make Generation 2 Dreadwing and Smokescreen's combined form, Robots in Disguise Dreadwing, and Robotmasters Gigant Sniper. This set was also reissued in South Korea in Car Bot packaging, reaffiliated as an anonymous Autobot combiner, eventually named as Stealth Bomber.

Notes

[edit]
  • "Combination Stealth Mode" is the name of Starscream's and BB's combined form according to the toys' packaging. In the Beast Wars II cartoon, however, the combination goes by several other names. It is first named in "A Fearsome Combination Plan?", which is when the combined form first is utilized. There, Starscream calls it the "Combination Mode" (合体モード Gattai Mode). Next in "Who Is the Strongest Warrior!?", Starscream refers to the combination as the "Combination Formation" (合体フォーメーション Gattai Formation). Lastly and most confusingly, Starscream calls the combined form "Formation Scream" in "Assemble, Thirty-Nine Warriors". By all other sources, Formation Scream is the name of Starscream's and BB's synced-up all-or-nothing attack that, on account of Starscream's weaponry being blocked, cannot be done in combined form.
  • Whether or not the Combination Stealth Mode qualifies as a combiner is something the Beast Wars II cartoon wavers on. It is not one according to "Who Is the Leader!?" because the Predacons are frustrated that they don't possess combiner technology, but the Combination Stealth Mode, listed as Formation Scream, shows up in the section of the showcase reserved for the combiners in "Assemble, Thirty-Nine Warriors".
