- Ramjet is a Decepticon from the Transformers Animated continuity family.
Ramjet, the Liar Starscream, is the dishonesty based clone of original Starscream.
What? We never said he was the original Starscream.
He seems to be completely against telling the truth. Nothing he ever says is completely true. Whatever he says to anyone, ally or enemy, completely contradicts everything he said previously.

"No it isn't."
"It is."
"Not at all."
Ramjet at first tried to assert that he was the original Starscream, then denied he said that, then denied that he was a liar when Slipstream called him a liar. A Bridge Too Close, Part I.
Ramjet managed to do fairly well in the space bridge battle. He told his Autobot targets that he wasn't about to shoot them. He was trapped by Prowl in a pair of stasis cuffs, and after that happened he was helped to escape by the Sycophant, and denied that any of this occurred. When Omega Supreme came on the scene, Ramjet tried to tell the giant his stabilizing servo was unbolted. Omega ignored him and not promptly kicked the clone a few miles away. A Bridge Too Close, Part II
Later, he helped a stasis-cuffed Lugnut out of his plight with the Autobots. The clone wasn't being completely honest when he promised not to tell Megatron about Lugnut's humiliating failure. Three's a Crowd
Long after that, Lockdown captured the "disarmed and helpless" Liar for Sentinel Prime in exchange for a gyro-stabilizer. However, Lockdown double-crossed Sentinel when Ramjet offered the bounty hunter a better deal earlier. Ramjet broke free and stasis cuffed the Autobot on the spot. As Ramjet tried to get away with his defenseless victim, he was knocked out of the sky by Jetfire and Jetstorm, who were accompanied by Optimus Prime and Jazz. And yet, the battle still tipped in Ramjet's favor when he used Sentinel as a shield against their attacks. Ramjet tried to escape again, but Optimus covered his face with foam. He dropped Sentinel head-first into the ground. After Safeguard blasted him out of the sky with a fireball, Optimus and Jazz pushed a scoreboard on top of him. Ramjet was stasis cuffed and hauled into custody. Five Servos of Doom
Later, Sentinel Prime steered his ship through a stormy nebula. It unfortunately revived Swindle, who was still immobilized from his own slow-down ray. From there, Swindle freed and re-armed Ramjet along with the other captured Decepticons. Swindle also gave Sunstorm and Ramjet strangely familiar helmets to tell them apart. Afterwards, Ramjet and the Decepticons manhandled the Elite Guard. They managed to capture them before Sentinel sent a coded SOS to Optimus Prime. Fortunately, Optimus appeared out of Swindle's chest, and sent Ramjet and the other Decepticons into chaos. The battle eventually spilled out of the ship, where Jetstorm somehow bombarded him with a tornado. Ramjet was also present when Blitzwing captureed the Autobots and tried to freeze them in the decontamination unit. He was frozen when Jazz booby-trapped the decontamination unit. He ultimately was re-captured and sent to Cybertron, where he was paraded around with the jubilant Sentinel.Decepticon Air
