Dark Scream
- Dark Scream is a Predacon from the Robots in Disguise continuity family.
Like the rest of the Predacon Trio, Dark Scream is a bumbling oaf. And of course, he's evil. But apart from that, he's really not so bad. He has an almost innocent sense of humor, enjoys singing, and actually attempts to help out his commander, Sky-Byte (though he'll join Slapper and Gas Skunk in heckling him from time to time).
Dark Scream tries to help his teammates in battle with his sword and central freeze ray--but he's not strong enough to be a real threat to most opponents. He's basically useful for aerial transport and reconnaissance--but even there, his flight skills are rather poor. If it weren't for his willingness to obey orders to attack shipping vehicles and plant bombs in major civilian centers, he'd be about as inoffensive as a Predacon can get.

- Voice Actor: Steve Blum (US), Hiroki Takahashi (Japan)
After the defeat of Galvatron and his Decepticons, Dark Scream and the Predacon trio were rounded up and shipped back to Cybertron on board Fortress Maximus. As all the other villains argued and shrieked vengeance from within their Phantom Zone-like prison cells, Dark Scream and the Predacon trio lamented that their leader, Sky-Byte, was left stranded on Earth; a fate they considered worse than incarceration.
