Starscream (Cyberverse)

The name or term "Starscream" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Starscream (disambiguation).

Starscream is a Decepticon Seeker from the Cyberverse continuity family.

Between you and the Namekian, I think I've lost my touch at genocide.

One of the co-leaders of the Seekers and Megatron's second-in-command, Starscream is the kind of guy who'd sell you out to Megatron in a heartbeat, then sell Megatron out to whoever offers him more power. He's not a very loyal sort, and often comes at odds with the heroic and loyal Bumblebee - both traits Starscream despises.

You think now that you're this so-called Prime that you're better than me?

Seekers, the scavenger hunt will proceed-

Starscream was present when Megatron located the AllSpark on Earth, Fractured and later contacted the Seeker shuttle he'd sent to the planet to find out how his scouts Thundercracker and Nova Storm were doing on their search mission. He wasn't very happy when the Autobot Bumblebee answered his call instead (the Decepticon scouts being buried under tons of rubble thanks to Windblade). Memory

• Starscream (Scout Class, 2018)

Cyberverse Scout Class Starscream is roughly the size of a Legends Class figure that converts from robot to Gerwalk mode jet with limbs (Also known as a "transformational mode") and back. His wings swing around in a spring loaded "Wing Slice" attack attached to his waist, which can be locked in using the landing gear.

This is the only figure of the character that has knee joints.

The figure was later redecoed into Slipstream.

Warrior Class

How many arms do you think we're up to? I think we're up to twenty-four.

• Starscream (Warrior Class, 2018)

Released as part of the first wave of Cyberverse Warrior Class lineup, this Starscream is a Deluxe-sized figure that converts from robot to jet and back. His "Wing Slice" Action Attack gimmick is activated by winding up a spring in his waist and releasing the upper part of the figure, allowing it to spin and flip out its spring-loaded wing blades with centrifugal force. The underside of these panels, normally hidden, are painted over in bright pink with large silver Decepticon Insignia. The waist can be locked in place by pegging his landing gear onto a peg on his backside. Additionally, he has non-firing Null Ray blasters molded into his forearms with 5 mm post hole hands.

While his arms have articulation comparable to other Cyberverse Warrior Class toys, Starscream has the unusual distinction of having his hip swivels molded together, meaning the front-to-back movement is in tandem. He also lacks knees, likely due to his whole legs being cast from the same grey plastic. Despite this otherwise restricted movement, he can splay his legs out to the sides due to hinges on his hips, allowing splits and high kicks. Also unusual, the middle recess on his forehead is shown as unpainted in promotional images (including on the back of his box) and yellow in character art, but is painted in metallic blue on the actual toy. He lacks the red stripes on the inner wings on the final product as well.

This mold was redecoed into Thundercracker and Acid Storm.

Ultra Class

You see, that was my first guess.

• Starscream (Ultra Class, 2018)

This Cyberverse Starscream is a Voyager-sized figure that converts from a robot to a jet with two giant missile pods under his wings and back. His Action Attack gimmick, when triggered, pops fourteen non-firing missiles from his missile pods (seven on each side), with molded 'smoke trails' to simulate a carpet bombing attack.

Notes

• As with the rest of the Cyberverse cast, Starscream's design is based on the Evergreen design also used for his Generation 1 counterpart, with some minor stylistic tweaks that, unlike almost every other version of Starscream in existence, make him look different from those of his Seeker comrades. For example, his wings are wide with a zigzagging edge compared to the other Seekers' narrow wings with a sharp tip at the end. Starscream also has forearm-mounted null-rays while the other Seekers have theirs mounted on their upper arms. This is not reflected on their toys, however, as all current toys of the Seekers are simple redecos of Starscream's.
• This version of Starscream is the second to exhibit an ability that ties into his name- the ability to produce powerful screams, strong enough to stun an Autobot, the first being Transformers: Animated's Starscream.
