Starscream (Cloud)
From MediaWiki
| 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 Cloud continuity.
Cunning but cowardly, Starscream (スタースクリーム Sutāsukurīmu) has long sought to overthrow Megatron and take his place as leader of the Cloud World Decepticons, but has never had the strength to make his move. His luck finally changed when the power of SARA granted him a new Triple Changer body, boosting his jet mode's already impressive speed and granting him additional armor and firepower in the form of a new tank mode. (Why a tank? It may have something to do with a subconscious complex regarding Megatron's own altmode...) Starscream intends to use his newfound power to crush anyone who stands in the way of his ambition, be they Autobot or Decepticon.

Toys
Generations
- The original body of Starscream was repurposed from the TakaraTomy version of Generations Starscream. The toy transforms into a Cybertronian jet fighter. He comes with two spinning, triple-barreled "assault cannons" which can combine to form a larger hand-held weapon that is geared to spin its two triple-barrels together, and resembles the Neutron assault rifle from Fall of Cybertron. Each of the weapon halves features two 5mm posts, as well as a peg-hole on their hollow sides, while the combined form features another peg-hole at the top, but makes the peg-holes on the hollow sides inaccessible. Starscream features numerous 5mm peg-holes, such as his hands, forearms, lower legs, and wing undersides.
- In an undocumented feature, Starscream's tail-fin is attached via a 5mm post on its underside, and can be detached to reveal three additional peg-holes, with two of these peg-holes being just the right distance to accommodate the combined assault cannons/rifle, with the tail-fin pegging on the rifle's top peg-hole. This allows the weapon to mount on top of the vehicle mode, and store on his back in robot mode. He was repurposed as Generation 1 Starscream in IDW Publishing's Robots in Disguise comics.
- This toy was later redecoed into TakaraTomy Skywarp and Thrilling 30 Thundercracker and Skywarp.

- ID number: TFC-D02
- Accessories: Two "Null-Beam Cannons", missile
- Starscream is a redeco of Generations Doubledealer, itself a redeco/retool of Blitzwing from the same line. Starscream transforms into two vaguely futuristic vehicles: a jet with an opening cockpit and back-mounted rocket boosters, as well as a tank with a rotating turret and a spring-loaded "Vertex Cannon" that launches its missile when the barrel is compressed. The cannon can also be swung out and deployed for use in jet mode. He lacks Doubledealer's blaster and sword accessories, but instead comes with two of Masterpiece Starscream's null-ray cannons that can plug into the 5mm posts on his shoulders/vehicle sides, cannon base, and wings. Starscream was sold exclusively through e-HOBBY.
