| A '''crown''' is an item of [[Transformer clothing|clothing]] worn on the head, used to indicate authority. Usually made of valuable metals, a typical crown is circular in shape and fits around the scalp. Most have various spikes and projections extending above the wearer to add height, and it is common for them to be studded with precious gems.

| At the coronation of Starscream as leader of the Decepticons, he wore a cape and was crowned by [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]]. This was seconds before [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] crashed in with his troops and disintegrate Starscream with a blast from his cannon mode. The crown was the only thing to remain intact, toppling down the stars of the stage before being crushed under the foot of Galvatron. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie|The Transformers: The Movie}}

| This was unusual (though appropriate for the pompous Starscream), as Transformers don't tend to wear clothes. It was uncertain if his garb was merely for the occasion or if he intended to walk around with that stuff on all the time.

| {{note|As an art-book concerned more with portraiture than storytelling, ''[[Genesis: The Art of Transformers|Genesis]]'' is of dubious relevance as a source of fiction. However, a picture of [[Machine Wars]] Starscream does suggest events outside itself. [[Matt Kuphaldt|The artist]] intended it to be a sequel to [http://www.spektakle.com/portfolio/tf/tf_fan_starscream.html a piece of his fanart.]}}

| Machine Wars Starscream stood on the dais where he was once crowned leader of the Decepticons, which had since begun glowing with the energy of Cybertron's new golden age. As before, he wore a purple cape, but this time he brandished the vanquished Galvatron's torn-off cannon.

As a sign of his imperiality, he brought up a gigantic crown from within the [[volcano]] where he had established his base {{storylink|Starscream (episode)|Starscream}}.
