- Starscream is a Decepticon from One.
As the leader of the High Guard, Starscream has waged a long and arduous guerrilla war in an effort to put an end to Sentinel Prime's corrupt rule. Both volatile and easily provoked, but also quite cowardly when things don't go his way, Starscream's "might makes right" philosophy often brings him to blows with trespassers, pacifists, or even people who just don't agree with him.

 Plot details for Transformers One (film) follow. |
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 egged on D-16 to continue hitting him as he was held down. As D-16 crushed his throat, Starscream's voice began to pitch up, becoming more harsh and strained. Starscream quickly changed gears to begging for mercy once D-16 shoved his newly-discovered arm-mounted gun into Starscream's face. He was only saved by Orion Pax's insistence that Starscream was not the enemy, and D-16 assured all present that this was the last time he would be giving mercy.
Once Sentinel's soldiers arrived, Starscream was captured and kept captive in his tower in Iacon, where the false Prime mocked his new "ridiculous" voice, until Orion Pax's plan to retake the city started, and Soundwave released the prisoners. Starscream fought the guards, and once D-16 killed Sentinel and renamed himself, was the first to start shouting "All hail Megatron!" After the newly christened Optimus Prime defeated Megatron in battle, he ordered him to leave the city along the High Guard. In their exile, the group was rechristened the Decepticons, and the faction's insignia based on the face of Megatronus Prime was branded onto Starscream's wings. One
