Starscream was Sentinel Prime's bodyguard and aided in his kidnapping as Cybertron descended into anarchy. Starscream was pleased to participate, noting how cowardly Sentinel had been during the kidnapping, but was also aware his role in the plot had taken away his secure place in life. Regardless, he knew something Megatron did not: that aboard Trypticon Station was a stockpile of Dark Energon, the essence of Unicron himself, and he sent his Seekers to guard it.
As the war raged on, Starscream granted Megatron access to the Dark Energon, giving the Decepticons the edge in combat. Megatron sought to infect Cybertron's core with the substance by gaining the Plasma energy chamber. The revived Omega Supreme was ordered to fly the chamber away from Cybertron, and Starscream proved instrumental in downing Omega and allowing Megatron to take the chamber.
As Cybertron became uninhabitable, the Autobots left on the largest starship ever built - the Ark. Starscream left the planet with Megatron as they gave pursuit on Trypticon, now a Nemesis-class supercruiser. The two ships entered a space bridge, which separated the two ships to unknown parts of space... Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron

For the last thousand years of Great War, Starscream was in charge of an orbital production facility that produced Dark Energon. The station's force of neutral soldiers were no match for Megatron's invading forces, while Starscream and Jetfire's repeated warnings that no one could control Dark Energon had no effect on Megatron. Instead, Megatron tempted Starscream with knowledge of his past, reminding him of his demotion from Sky Commander to a mere guard, and offered him to join the Decepticons, something Starscream scoffed at. Starscream attempted to destroy the station's stock of Dark Energon before the Decepticon leader could reach it, but failed, and watched with shock as Megatron infused himself with the substance. Starscream quickly volunteered his services for the Decepticon cause, causing Jetfire to label him a traitor. Megatron sent him with Thundercracker and Skywarp to Cybertron to reactivate the Energon Bridge. Starscream performed the mission successfully using his trademark style, flair, and modesty.
