Starscream (Kre-O)
| The name or term "Starscream" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Starscream (disambiguation). |
- Starscream is a Decepticon from the Kre-O continuity.
Starscream plans to take control of the Decepticons, mostly because he thinks he's the best thing ever and much better at being evil than Megatron. With the help of his well-thumbed copy of I'm My Own Me: How to Command Confidently, he might someday achieve his aim. In the meantime, he spends his time building castles out of bricks with his friend Starwheeze, and also bowling. Every future despot has to have a hobby, after all.
