Starscream is Megatron's lousy second-in-command. Despite his cruelty, Starscream is a drama queen and is extremely sarcastic and critical towards others. Starscream takes great pleasure in power and believes that he would be a much better leader than Megatron, so he tries to overthrow him, but this often ends in failure and ends with Megatron beating him or, at best, verbally humiliating him. Despite everything, Starscream is Megatron's lackey. Starscream fawns and flatters before Megatron's imposing figure, but in reality he condemns his every move. However, he admires Megatron's power and strength, so he is afraid of him and tries to listen to him. Starscream is also strong, but he prefers to have all the dirty work done for him.
