BB was the brawn of a Combatron jet duo with, Starscream. They served Galvatron aboard the Galvaburg II when he brought his Predacons to the planet Gaia, in search of the amazing powers of Angolmois Energy. The New Forces Arrive! When Galvatron fell into a coma shortly after arriving on the planet, BB aided in Starscream's conspiracy to ingratiate themselves with the new self-appointed Emperor of Destruction, Galvatron's younger brother Megastorm. They planned to be the first to capture the mysterious white lion that had caught the interest of both Galvatron and Megastorm. While aiding Starscream during the capture mission of the white lion, BB mistakenly fired a missile payload at it—something the comedy duo, Dirge and Thrust witnessed. Being humiliated, Starscream had BB block their competition out in a smokescreen missile, leading Dirge and Thrust to crash into a cliffside. Starscream and BB then captured the lion in a net missile and presented the net humbly to Megastorm back at base. Unfortunately, the lion was actually the Maximal commander Lio Convoy, who unleashed his rage and arsenal on the Predacons for the damage they had done to the creatures and natural order of Gaia. Starscream, BB, and Megastorm were quickly driven into retreat. White Lion, Run!
After the last debacle, Megastorm wanted the chance to redeem himself against Lio Convoy and take credit for dispatching him. He ordered his subordinates to find Lio Convoy but not engage, merely report the Maximal commander's position to him. Starscream saw through Megastorm's plan immediately, but went along with it to stay in the acting emperor's good graces. He and BB went so far as to avoid conflict with other, less-important Maximals while on their search, and dispatching Dirge and Thrust in a rockslide to prevent any competition. The Maximal Bighorn would not be denied, however, and his thirst for combat finally forced Megastorm, Starscream and BB to fight with him, where he proved surprisingly effective. Bighorn's Rage
BB was present when Starscream orchestrated a plot to catch the Maximals in a lakeside trap. When the plan was spoiled, BB started firing missiles in the tight hallways of the pressurized, underwater base. Megastorm deciding to cut his losses, remotely blew up the base with his men still inside. The Lake Trap
BB continued taking part in Starscream's plan to gain Megastorm's favor. Galvatron Revived However, after retrieving the recently woken Galvatron Without Megastorm's consent, Starscream retrieved Galvatron from the volcano and brought his inert body back to the Galvaburg II for recuperation, leaving Megastorm off-balance on whether Starscream was conspiring against him. Mystery of the Ancient Ruins
When Dirge and Thrust were trounced thoroughly by Insectrons native to the Southern Continent, Starscream confidently told Megastorm he could devise a plan to eliminate the threat. Starscream and BB set up a series of energy nets in the Insectrons' territory, planning to capture the bugs and then free them, claiming the traps had been set by the Maximals. They successfully made contact with Bigmos and Tonbot this way, and left the Insectrons with a falsified data disc containing information on the Maximals. This sent Bigmos and Tonbot into a battle with Lio Convoy's crew, which Starscream and BB secretly intervened on by trying to collapse an entire ravine on the two factions with their missiles. The Maximals and Insectrons survived, but Starscream's involvement in the rockslide was left undiscovered. The Insect Corps Arrive
For his next trick, Starscream and BB fired upon the Maximals Diver, Bighorn and Tasmania Kid, luring them into the nest of another group of Insectrons, Scissor Boy, Powerhug, and Drill Nuts. He begged his Insectron "friends" to save them from the pursuing Maximals, leading to another fight between the two groups. When the Maximals dropped low on power from fighting the Insectrons, Starscream and the Combatrons emerged to finish them off. Unfortunately for Starscream, Lio Convoy and the other Maximals arrived to reinforce their ailing friends. Friend or Foe? The Insect Robos
Starscream's final plot involved creating an adorable cartoon hologram of himself to invite the Insectrons to an oil party. He had secretly spike the oil to make it extra-intoxicating, hoping the Insectrons would get so drunk they would begin brawling and wipe each other out. Surprisingly, that's exactly what happened at first until the Maximals arrived and hosed them down. When Galvatron also got into Starscream's special stash of oil, he ran amok and served as the impetus for the Maximals and Insectrons to join forces and make a lasting peace. The Strongest Tag Team?
Disgraced, Starscream was unable to stop Megastorm from giving the job of removing the Insectrons to the Autorollers. Fearing what would happen if the Autorollers eclipsed his accomplishments, Starscream and BB shadowed the Autorollers and discovered their leader, Autostinger, was owed a debt from the Insectrons' leader Bigmos from long ago. Stinger tried to get Bigmos to return the debt by stepping aside so the Autorollers could eliminate the Maximals, but Bigmos escaped the debt another way and challenged Autostinger to a duel. As the Maximals, Insectrons, and Autorollers present entered a cave system for the bout, Starscream saw an opportunity. He had BB blast the mountain with missiles, hoping to eliminate his competition and enemies in one act. Unfortunately for Starscream, all the combatants survived his sneak attack. Autorollers Roll Out!
Starscream and BB were out on patrol when the Autorollers brought their captives Tasmania Kid and Scissor Boy back to the Galvaburg II. Megastorm tried to call the Combatrons back to help him when the Maximals and Insectrons arrived to protect their friends, but they arrived too late and Megastorm had to move the ship to escape their enemies' onslaught. Danger! Scissor Boy
Starscream was spying on the Autorollers' fortress operation after their failures led to the unit being removed from Insectron duty. Rejected, the Autorollers planned to undermine Starscream's standing in the Predacons and eliminate the Insectrons in one swoop by causing explosions of Angolmois Energy around the continent using their underground pipelines. To preserve his status, Starscream had BB shut down the main pipeline, causing a build up back at the Autorollers' fortress that would destroy the would-be-usurpers permanently. Starscream's dazzling victory dance was interrupted when simple BB asked if Starscream would be doing the Autorollers' heavy-lifting assignments once they were destroyed. As Starscream stopped short to consider the indignity of *ugh*manual labor, the rampaging Galvatron pierced the pipelines and began guzzling Angolmois Energy, growing to gigantic size. As his former leader-turned-kaiju started stomping through the countryside, Starscream motioned to BB and they exited, stage left, before anyone realized what they had done. Galvatron Rampages
As Megastorm ordered a massive attack on the South Continent, Starscream, BB and the Combatrons fought against the Maximals and Insectrons once more. Predacon General Offensive!
Soon, Galvatron was back on his feet and in control of his own mind. Starscream's boot-licking immediately shifted back to Galvatron instead of Megastorm, much to the Duke of Destruction's chagrin. Starscream and BB were dispatched to locate a mysterious ship making a forced landing on Gaia, and got into a battle with the Maximals over the wreck. They were soon confronted with the pilots, however, a trio called the Jointrons in their combination form as Tripledacus. Tripledacus humbled Starscream and BB, sending them fleeing back to the Galvaburg II. Galvatron wanted this mighty warrior dealt with, and sent the duo back out to find him. However, they had no idea Tripledacus was a combiner, and ignored the Jointrons when they first spotted them. The Combined Giant, Tripledacus
Starscream continued to seek Galvatron's favor, subtly undermining Megastorm and putting him down while advancing his own position. The Festive Jointrons Starscream readied a plan to eliminate the Jointrons using a bacteria bomb he concocted that would drain their energy away. He and BB coated two of the three Jointrons with the sludge, leaving them incapable of forming Tripledacus and on the run. Unfortunately, Lio Convoy and the other Maximals arrived to teach the Jointrons a lesson in teamwork, and the trio shared energy to eradicate the bacteria bomb's effects, driving off Starscream and BB once more. A Fearsome Combination Plan?
Galvatron modified his orders, dictating that the Jointrons be captured so that their transformation sequence could be analyzed for the creation of a Predacon combiner. Starscream and BB rigged some net missiles and staked out one of the Autorollers' fortress sites to catch their prey. The Jointrons were squabbling with each other, making the Predacons' job that much easier. The problem was, Starscream left the mission of transporting the individually-snared Jointrons to BB, Dirge, and Thrust. He stayed behind to...monitor the Autorollers' fight with the remaining Maximals, only for the other Combatrons to return and admit they all lost their catches. The Jointrons reunited, formed Tripledacus, and Starscream's men were forced to flee. Who Is the Leader!?
Later on, the Autorollers uncovered an unknown device in the ancient ruins. Starscream evaluated the device and determined it was a Copy Machine. At Galvatron's command, Starscream tested the device on BB, creating a Copy BB. The clone proved to be inherently opposite of the original, prompting an idea by Galvatron to deposit the Copy Machine where the Maximals could find it. Sure enough, Tasmania Kid soon used the device to create Copy Convoy, an evil copy of Lio Convoy who broke free on his own. Starscream and BB found Copy Convoy running through the forest, and Starscream found the evil Convoy respectably diabolical and a little bit snuggly. When Copy Convoy fired on Starscream and BB they left, but Starscream privately told BB the Copy did that because the Maximals were watching, and respected his deviousness. The Black Lio Convoy
When Artemis and Moon compared the strength of the Maximals and Predacons, Starscream was measured against Scuba. He also defended BB when his partner was compared to Bighorn, stating BB's firepower and strength were far greater than mere strength alone. He was called back for the final bout, mostly just because Artemis found him so dreamy. Who Is the Strongest Warrior!?
Starscream's efforts to undermine Megastorm finally provoked a reaction. When Galvatron needed a recon team to determine the threat posed by the Space Pirate Seacons, Starscream naturally volunteered. Megastorm shot down Starscream's request, however, and gave the assignment to Dirge and Thrust instead. Galvatron still allowed Starscream and BB to carry out the next Seacon mission, over Megastorm's objections. The Tentacular Scuba When Megastorm made contact with the Seacons on Galvatron's behalf, he negotiated a bounty on the Maximals' heads. Starscream was quick to point out, however, that Megastorm's math meant the Predacons would lose their entire supply of Angolmois Energy to the Seacons if the pirates were successful. A flustered Megastorm was left trying to defend his negotiations to Galvatron while Starscream watched on. Megastorm's Reckoning
