- I'm not quite sure how to classify Deviations in that regard. "Megascream" is the new name Starscream himself takes on, with no supplementary designated name for his Combiner form. It's like if Unite Warriors Convoy Grand Prime was just called "Convoy" to reflect that it doesn't have an independent consciousness. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 00:28, 24 September 2018 (EDT)
