Name: Starscream
Age: Millions of Years
Race: Decepticon
Title: The Decepticon Second-in-Command
Bio: Originally a Cybertronian scientist and explorer, Starscream joined the Decepticons when the Autobot/Decepticon war broke out, finding the life of a warrior to be far more exciting. In his time as the Decepticon's Air Commander, Starscream has attempted time and time again to usurp power from his leader Megatron, but with very little success. While cowardly, his silver tongue has saved him time and time again. Even after his death, he survived within his own spark, possessing other machines to continue his attempts at power, but even then he still failed. By possessing a seemingly-immortal spark, it is apparent that Starscream will continue his try and achieve greater power and shows no signs of stopping.

Voice Actor: Tom Kenny
Special Attacks:
-Seeker Rush: Starscream transforms into his Jet form and rushes at the opponent, slamming into them before transforming back into Robot form.
-Cluster Bombs: Starscream hurls a series of cluster bombs at the opponent in a high arch, inflicting repeated hits on detonation.
-Null Ray: Starscream blasts the opponent with his Null Ray. On certain opponents, they will be briefly stunned, but if used on robotic/technological opponents, they will be stunned longer and be damaged from the blast.
-Bullet Barrage: Starscream fires a barrage of machine gun fire at the opponent using his Vulcan machine gun.
-Missiles: Starscream launches two missiles at the opponent from his shoulders that fly straight up into the air, falling back down to land on the opponent's current position.
Throws
FORWARD: Starscream picks the opponent up with one hand, then points his cannon at them and shoots them, point-blank, to send them flying back.
BACKWARD: Starscream slams them on the ground, then steps on them and twists his foot like he's squashing a bug.
Super Moves:
-Wrath of Starscream: Starscream yells out in anger before stomping (if the opponent is in range, they will be buried partway into the ground ensuring no evasion). He then flies into the air and transforms into Jet mode. While in the air, Starscream launches all of his weapons at the opponent at once, laughing maniacally before re-entering the battlefield in Robot form.
-Eat Afterburn!: Starscream activates his thrusters, then launches across the stage, spinning to create a vertical wheel of fire. He then shifts to Jet mode and spins horizontally to create a horizontal wheel before changing back to throw one final kick in an attempt to punt the opponent into the air.
-Seekers Attack!: Starscream yells out "Seekers, attack!" and five other Decepticon Jets fly past him (in particular, Thundercracker, Skywarp, Thrust, Ramjet and Dirge). If they land a direct hit, he will transform into a jet and join them who all fire upon the opponent with missiles, lasers, machine gun fire, etc. before Starscream enters the battlefield again in Robot form.
FATALITIES:
-Heavy Fire: Starscream shifts into his jet form and, hovering off the ground, he locks onto the opponent with laser sightings before firing upon them with machine gun fire. The opponent, under the heavy machine fire, is quickly reduced to several bloody pieces and their blood, bones, and organs are scattered across the ground. Starscream will change back after the fatality is performed.
-Thrusters: Starscream jumps over the opponent, then transforms into a jet, his thrusters aimed right at the opponent who only has time to look up. A split-second later and Starscream activates the thrusters and a pillar of fire instantly reduces them to a char-black skeleton. Starscream then suddenly comes down and stomps on the skeleton, reducing it to powder.

Theme Song: "Starscream's Battle Theme" from Transformers (2004)
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Prologue: Starscream's plans to overthrow Megatron as leader of the Decepticons seemed to float further and further beyond his reach with each attempt. Just as he was about ready to reduce the next fool he crossed into scrap-metal, he picked up a strange energy signature. Rather than alert other Decepticons, Starscream took it on himself to investigate. On tracing the trail to a strange portal, Starscream decided to be the first Decepticon to investigate. When he entered the world of Death Battle, memories flooded his neurotransmitter--memories of something unpleasant. Seeing an opportunity to prove himself superior to Megatron and have a chance at revenge, he decided to fight through the ranks.
Rival Cutscene:
(Starscream flies high above the clouds in his Jet form, then performs a spectacular dive and transforms to land atop a high cliff.)
Starscream: Hahahahaha! Is this the best that this pitiful realm has to offer? If so, then it is fit for Decepticon rule--MY Decepticon Rule!
(Starscream's eyes fall on a bizarre sight, one that brings back memories that sting his very pride. It is a moving trail of rainbow-light...and only one being he knew could create such a trail.)
Starscream: Grrrr! It's that accursed creature that humiliated me in the past! Well, I've managed to last this long...and I am thirsting for a little revenge! It's time to teach it to NEVER humiliate a Decepticon!
(Starscream takes off, shifting into his jet form, then pursues the creature from far above. A visual confirms it's a rainbow-maned pegasus, igniting a rage from Starscream. He opens fire with a laser blast...direct hit, for the creature falls to the ground with a smoke trail. Starscream uses this time to find a proper landing space, then approach on foot.)
Rainbow: Alright, who did that!?
(With the sound of metal footsteps, Starscream arrives and towers before her.)
Starscream: Well, well, well. If it isn't that little equine who miraculously beat me and swallowed my spark...
Rainbow: Wait, what? How are you even here, then?
Starscream: Ha! You can never truly defeat Starscream. And as proof, I'm going to claim my revenge for what you did to me! I will annihilate you, inferior creature!
Rainbow: Ha! You want another beating, you rusty bucket of scrap!? Fine then! (takes combat pose) But you're going to regret every minute of hurt you feel!
(Starscream transforms into a jet and rockets toward Rainbow Dash, just as she does the same, leaving behind another rainbow trail. Fade to black.)
Ending: Having overcome the trials of Death Battle, Starscream gained an enormous boost in both confidence and power--power enough to rival Megatron. On returning to his fellow Decepticons, he was poised to seize Megatron's title for certain...then something eclipsed the sun, drawing everyone's attention. What looked like a small moon changed, before their optics, into a massive Transformer poised for universal domination. Unicron had arrived.Sometimes, Starscream reflected, the universe just plain hated him.
