Starscream/Novascream is the main antagonist of the Transformers video fanfic What If Optimus Prime Survived The '86 Movie? by YouTuber TJOmega, which tells how the events of the The Transformers: The Movie and the season 3 arc "Five Faces of Darkness" of The Transformers would've played out if Optimus didn't die.
He is the slimy, treacherous Air Commander of the Decepticons who becomes their leader after Megatron's arrest. After being promised great power by Unicron, he's reformatted into Novascream so he can kill Ultra Magnus and claim the Matrix of Leadership, secretly intending on crushing Unicron under his heel with it.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- Since the show's first 2 seasons are considered canon to the fanfic's storyline, then he committed the same ill deeds of said seasons.
- He helped Megatron kill Brawn, Prowl, Ratchet and Ironhide in the shuttle.
- He disposed all of the deceased Decepticons from Astrotrain into space.
- He joined Unicron after being promised great power at his coronation.
- He killed Megatron and tried to kill Optimus as well to claim the Matrix of Leadership.
- Upon failing to enslave Unicron, he abandoned the Decepticons to die during Unicron's attack just to save his own skin.
- He tried to turn Unicron into his weapon, even selling out his own race to the Quintessons so he could have enough resources to place Unicron under his heel (though he would most likely deserve it).
- He froze his entire race. While it was unintentional, he showed no remorse for it.
- He banished Blitzwing for standing up against him.
Trivia[]
- This version of Starscream is, alongside DaFuq!?Boom!'s version of Soundwave and TFI Creations' version of Scourge, one of three Pure Evil villains of the Transformers franchise to come from fan works.
