Starscream smoothed the whole thing over... just before he started a massive battle between the two crews, just so he could get his hands on the space-ready craft and go after the [[Underbase]]. {{storylink\|Club Con!}} Guess he thought it was faster or something, but he was wrong. Ratbat's [[Club Con]] caught up with him, despite the head start. Scorponok's starcruiser did prove helpful though, if only as a mace which he pummeled the pursuing vessel with.

	The '''''Semper Tyrannis''''' is a major [[Decepticon]] battle cruiser. She's sleek, except for the parts that aren't. She is fast, though even with a head start she is caught by [[Club Con\|a flying island]]. She is powerful, though we never actually see her fire a single weapon. Okay, so maybe she isn't. She can however randomly change her color scheme from purple to Gold. Truth be told, we know practically nothing about her. However, we know [[Scorponok (G1)\|Scorponok]] chose her as his personal vessel when hunting down [[Autobot]]s so she must have some advantages. Still, for a ship who never gets to show her stuff, she was important as she acted as the chariot which almost carried [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Starscream]] to godhood.
