Specialist skills: backstabbing, aggressive negotiating, chinstroking.

Starscream is easily as accomplished, powerful and deserving of leadership as Megatron. At least, that's what he thinks. Power-hungry and driven by jealousy, Starscream operates through three ideals: lying, manipulation and deception. And when all else fails, a bit of sabotage never goes astray. Wise bots are careful about turning their backs on Starscream, just in case it's the day he finally decides to shove in the knife.

He also has the most traitorous chin in the universe, other than Evil Ash.

Yes, yes, yes! Brilliant strategy, oh wise and great leader!Starscream sucking up, "Transform and Roll Out!"

Like others of his kind, Starscream seeks to betray Megatron and take over the Decepticons. This time, however, he's not afraid to plant bombs on his mighty leader. In the aftermath of the explosion, Starscream gets so caught up in his own greatness that he doesn't notice his comrades abandon him alone on a ship hurtling towards an exploding space bridge.

And he doesn't believe in luck.

Starcream later discovers the AllSpark is on Earth and adopts a jet fighter as an alternate mode to search for it. When he reveals himself the Autobots, he quickly thrashes each of them individually. Starcreams mocks them, apparently thinking that they thought they really defeated Megatron (whom he refers to as the great Megatron without sarcasm, so he seems to have at least a loathing respect for his leader's power), saying Megatron was already defeated by the bomb Starscream himself had put on him. Despite being more powerful then Autobots, Starscream fails to take the AllSpark, partially because he spends too much time gloating.

• Starscream (2008)

Starscream transforms into a futuristic, forward-swept wing fighter jet based upon the Su-47 (S-37) Berkut Experimental Fighter and the YF-19 "Alpha One" from the series Macross Plus. This shape allows him to have his faction symbols right-side-up on his wings in robot mode. The figure will also feature the Chin^TM.

Going by past experience, there is a fifty-fifty chance this mold will be retooled and redecoed.
