Starscream (Armada)
Starscream is a Decepticon character in the Unicron Trilogy.
Starscream is disillusioned by his leader Megatron. It took a while for Starscream to come to grips with Megatron's faults, but there's no turning back. Megatron doesn't respect him, doesn't appreciate him, and would casually toss Starscream's life away if it got him something he wanted. If following Megatron is the school of hard knocks, then Starscream is the valedictorian -- but not without a few scars. Starscream may have once been compassionate, he may have forgotten what true friendship is, but all that has been replaced, scab for scab, with the lessons of Megatron's abuse.
Unwittingly, Megatron may have created a monster even he cannot ultimately control.
Animated Continuity
Armada
Energon
Having died in Armada, that should have been it for Starscream. However, after Megatron began to take control of the Decepticon side of the Energon Struggle, Alpha Q needed a way to continue gathering Energon for Unicron. With this purpose, he resurrected Starscream. However this was a Starscream with no memory of his former self, and so his Ambition was absent. He was now a loyal zombie soldier. Alpha Q told Starscream he was incomplete, and needed to gather Energon, so they could finish the process. This is how Alpha Q gained his loyalty. However Alpha Q did not hold onto this loyalty well, and after Starscream failed his assassination attempt on Megatron(UT), Megatron made Starscream turn his loyalty over to him. From then on Megatron used him as his Second-in-Command, perhaps enjoying the fact that this Starscream had no dreams of leadership like before. After Megatron found the Super Energon Pool and upgraded himself to Galvatron, Starscream was the first of his forces he showed this to. Starscream's upgrade gave him his G1 Colour Scheme. Due to his Incomplete nature, Starscream could teleport and turn invisable. Due to these abilities, he made a perfect spy.

Toys and Merchandise
Galaxy Force/Cybertron Toy.
Starscream's Robot form looks much the same as it always has, with his alt being a furturistic space/jet fighter. This Alt form looks like it may have been inspired by his form in the G1 cartoon on Cybertron before he took on his jet fighter form. Hasbro seems to have realised Starscream is popular among collectors, as when bringing over the Galaxy Force version of him, they made it only possible to buy him in more expensive forms. He is advailable as a Giant "Supreme" line toy, or his original size in a double pack with Vector Prime, who was released before and likely to be in the collections of many collectors already. Even though, he is still likely to be just as popular with collectors as ever.
Supreme Starscream comes with a Decepticon Crown of Leadership(identical to the one in the Movie), two Planet Force Keys, and a Null-Ray Missile. He is different from the Original Japanese in a few other ways than size. One of his swing-out blades has been released with a "Null-Ray", apparently as reference to his G1 form; his swing out features are activated by two separate force slots(leaving the original one in his back as a key holder); the turrents on the side of the cockpit can also be aimed. I am also guessing the lights and sounds have been been changed for this version. One strange detail is that moving his sword arm makes sounds and lights, including his eyes, which react to no other feature.
