"Do you hear that? It's the winds of change."

As the leader of the High Guard, Starscream wages a long and arduous guerilla war to destroy the evil forces of Sentinel Prime. Volatile and easily provoked, but cowardly when things start really going bad, Starscream's "might makes right" philosophy often brings him to blows with trespassers, pacifists, or people who just don't agree with him.

“	The idea of a unified Cybertron is a myth. All that counts is the strength of one bot over another!	”

"That's the last time i lose to you, Sullivan."

Starscream was a member of the Cybertronian High Guard. Upon bearing witness to Sentinel Prime's betrayal of the Primes, he and the rest of the High Guard resolved to hide away from the rest of Cybertronian society and delegate resources towards sabotaging Sentinel's rule.

When Orion Pax, D-16, Elita-1, and B-127 were brought before Starscream, he informed them that they had two options: Die slowly and painfully, or give up intel on Sentinel Prime and die less slowly and painfully. When Orion Pax attempted to make an appeal to him, citing their similar goals, he was quick to denounce the idea of a unified Cybertron as a real possibility, asserting that all that mattered was the strength of one 'bot over another.

Starscream took it rather personally when D-16 attempted to leave before his say-so and then decided to accuse Starscream and the rest of the former High Guard of running away and hiding whilst making a very minimal difference. In the ensuing fight, he eggs on D-16 to continue hitting him as he is held down. As D-16 crushes his throat, his voice begins to pitch up, becoming more harsh and robotic. Starscream quickly changes gears to begging for mercy once D-16 shoves his newly-discovered arm-mounted gun into Starscream's face. He is only saved by Orion Pax's insistence that Starscream is not the enemy, and D-16 assures all present that this is the last time he will be giving mercy.

Once Sentinel's soldiers arrive, Starscream is captured and kept captive on Sentinel's tower in Iacon until Orion Pax's plan to retake the city starts, and Soundwave releases the prisoners. Starscream fights the guards, and once D-16 kills Sentinel and renames himself, is the first to start shouting "All hail Megatron!" After the newly christened Optimus Prime defeats Megatron in battle, he orders him to leave the city along the High Guard. In their exile, the group is rechristened the Decepticons, and the faction's insignia based on the face of Megatronus Prime is branded onto Starscream's wings.
