Starscream

''This page is a bio for the Starscream from the 2002 series Transformers Armada and acts as the main protagonist of the opening Mini-Series. For the ruler of Planet X (and the version of the character from Transformers Cybertron), see Emperor Starscream.''

Starscream is a character from Transformers Armada and is a major character in The Knights of the Multiverse, acting as the central protagonist of the Mini-Series. After being destroyed around the end of his world's civil war, he was recreated by his creator Primus to find heroes from across the Multiverse to combat the evil of the resurrected Unicron and his Heralds (too bad they got these guys instead).

Personailty
Starscream is nothing if not honorable. One of the good things that he learned during his time in the Decepticons was his warrior spirit, always willing to take on any challenge and never backing down until his spark is extinguished. Though this originally made him too stubborn to get along with anyone, now with his second chance at life, he's taking any chance he can get to enjoy it. Whether it be putting together a surprise party, backing his teammates up in the middle of a fight, or simply participating in their usual silly antics, he's just happy to be around a family who give him the amount of care and respect he deserves.

However, even with his second chance at life, he's still caught in his own personal battle of choosing the side of good or evil. Some of his Decepticon programming is still lingering around his brain module, often taking the form of him acting very hotheaded and irrational at times. Since he famously has the one of the least amount of patience of the Knights, he sometimes jumps into a situation without thinking, which can get him, and the others, into a predicament. As time has passed though, he's begun to mature and listen to his team more.

Pre-Series
In his previous life, Starscream was a young arrogant warrior who desperately wished to gain the approval and respect of his leader Megatron, but started to become confused as he started to hate both himself and his commander for the abuse heaped upon him, as well as being disgusted with his leader's lack of honor and respect over his troops. He originally came to Earth as part of Megatron's expedition to gain the power of the Mini-Cons alongside Demolishor and Cyclonus. However, Starscream's frustration over having been made the last of the Decepticons to gain his partner Mini-Con led him to be manipulated by Sideways into battling with Megatron (which he lost). His hatred for Megatron eventually led to him siding with the Autobots so he could bring his former leader down once and for all. During his time with the Autobots, he formed a surprisingly close friendship with the human Alexis. However, Thrust eventually manipulated Starscream into rejoining the Decepticons, though Starscream still vowed to destroy Megatron.

When their forces returned to Cybertron, Starscream was one of the five Cybertronians who received a power boost from the Mini-Cons, giving him a new blue color scheme that maked him look like his colleague Thundercracker. When Thrust was ousted as a servant of Unicron, Starscream reunited with Alexis and gave chase, though he ultimately failed to catch him. When Megatron, now calling himself "Galvatron", refused to acknowledge the existence of Unicron and the potential threat he carried, Starscream knew there was only one way to get the message through. And so, he challenged his leader to a duel once again, which ended with the Seeker allowing himself to be stabbed in the chest with the Star Saber. After a final sendoff telling Galvatron to align his forces with Optimus to protect their home, the young warrior pulled the Star Saber out of his chest, exposing his spark, and fired a full powered Null Ray Cannon at Unicron directly, only for the Chaos Bringer to fire a bolt of energy at him, turning the valiant warrior to dust almost instantly. Starscream's death is what ultimately convinced Galvatron of Unicron's existence and he allied the Decepticons with the Autobots to end the threat, and the end of the Cybertronian Civil War.

Mini-Series
However, his time of rest would be short, as ten years later, Primus felt Unicron's resurgence to power, and so sent out all of his children across the Multiverse to hold back his heralds. However, while he had full faith in his children, he knew their strength wouldn't be enough, so taking a page out of Unicron's book, Primus decided to recreate Starscream's spark, giving him all of his memories, and gave him the task of finding such heroes.

Ablilities & Equipment

 * Transformation

Like all Cybertronians, Starscream has the ability to transform into a vehicle. In his case, he can transform into a fighter jet.


 * Wing Sword

He can folds his left wing upward, with a handle popping out of the side. It then detaches from his side and folds into a sword-like shape and ignites red like a lightsaber.


 * Dimensional Slash
 * Bestowed upon him by Primus, Starscream's sword is able to "cut open" portals that allow him to travel to different dimensions, indicated by it glowing blue rather than it's normal red.


 * Lasers

Starscream is able to fire laser volley from his sides.


 * Null Ray Cannons

Originally, like most Cybertronians, Starscream could Powerlink with his mini-con partner to unlock a hidden weapon or boost his powers. In his case, Swindle would link onto his back and unlocks two large Null Ray Cannons, which are able to fire two powerful laser blasts. However, after being reborn, he is able to activate them on command. While they're not powerful enough to, say, tear through an entire battleship fleet, but its still capable of doing serious damage to larger opponents.

Demolisher
During their time serving under Megatron, Starscream didn't pay Demolisher much mind, as he only thought of him as another dim-witted grunt. The only real times he'd give him any attention was when he did something stupid or when he thought he was getting in the way. However, after his resurrection and spending more time with him, he came to view Demo as a close friend, and even thanks him for what the care and concern he gave him when they were still with the Decepticons.

Swindle
As his original Mini-Con partner, Starscream takes a great deal of responsibility towards Swindle.

Kamille Bidan
Kamille was Starscream's closest comrade on the team. When the two initially met, Kamille attacked him after chasing him down for he destroyed part of a colony. When he eventually agreed to join the others to find the one responsible for the portals, he made sure to keep a close eye on Starscream should he turn on them, to which Starscream graciously replied that he'd be willing to take him on again. After Megatron's first attempt at brainwashing Starscream, Kamille finally got a true understanding of Starscream's predicament and agreed to aid him in his plight. Their trust between each other continued to grow as they continue to fight Unicron and the Black Moon Clan's forces, culminating when he had to leave to duel with Megatron, with Kamille understanding Starscream's motives and letting him take off for the duel. The two went onto fight side-by-side during their final battles against Unicron's forces.

Honey Kisaragi
When the two first met, Starscream couldn't believe that such a... "sophisticated" robot like Honey before. He was immediately taken by her incredible powers & feats. More over though, he was taken in by her kindness and how she was so open to hear about his plights, something that reminded him of the kindness his old friend Alexis showed him.
