Starscream

Starscream is a Decepticon Seeker jet and treacherous Air Commander who serves under Megatron while constantly scheming to usurp leadership of the Decepticons. His ambition, cunning, and cowardice make him one of the most recognizable figures in the Transformers universe.

Few characters in the Transformers universe carry quite the same electric charge as Starscream, who made their comics debut in The Transformers Annual #1986, brought to the page by Ian Mennell, Wilf Prigmore, and Will Simpson. Emerging in 1986 at the dawn of what would become a remarkably enduring run stretching nearly four decades to 2024, this is a figure who has kept genuinely iconic company — sharing adventures with the likes of Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Soundwave across the catalog. With appearances spanning Toyfare: The Toy Magazine through to the Energon Universe FCBD 2024 Special, Starscream is a character whose presence in comics has proved as persistent as it is memorable — well worth tracking down for any serious collector of the franchise.
