Starscream, second in command of the Decepticons, member of the Elite Trine, and planning on overthrowing Megatron! Wait. You didn't hear that last part.
More under the cut!
Starscream is the sibling of Thundercracker and Skywarp. They didn't rise together, nor do they share a splitspark bond, but they are siblings nonetheless. Like the other two, Starscream was forced to fend for himself when he was younger, a street rat within Vos. But he wanted more for himself, and for his siblings. He didnt want to be forever fighting for survival.
He met a young scientist by the name of Skyfire by chance, though Skyfire was quickly enamored by her. Skyfire took sympathy with Starscream and her plight and became the ticket out of poverty. Though Starscream couldn't forget her origins.
When the Decepticon movement began to take hold, Starscream immediately knew they wanted in. Here were others, suffering just as they had, others who are still suffering because of their frame, because no one would take them in, because everyone turned a blind-eye to anything less then perfect. (Perfect being a midweight grounder who was always a grounder.)
Starscream and xir trine travelled to Kaon to personally join the movement. Starscream proved valuable quickly, and xir trine was basically adopted by Megatron. Starscream, who already loved Skyfire but had yet to admit, realized that xe also fancied Megatron. But xe wouldn't say anything. No. That would be showing weakness and Starscream cannot be weak.
Eventually, Thundercracker and Skywarp's incessant nagging made Starscream propose forming a sparkbond with Megatron. Since he was practically their right hand man! Not because he liked them. Though after said bond was formed, it was obvious, though left unsaid.
As the war began and was waged, things changed. Skyfire betrayed the Decepticons, breaking Starscream's spark. Megatron was careful about the emotions shared with even Starscream. And Cybertron began to die.
As did Megatron.
Only to come back. Changed. That wasn't Megatron. Not anymore. Even without a sparkbond, it was obvious. Touched by the Unmaker itself? Starscream avoided interacting with Megatron as much as possible aside from running the war, shutting him out. But the sparkbond was still there. Maybe Starscream himself was cursed as well. He dare not think that.
Tension between him and Megatron became apparent. But after the Nemesis crashed on Earth, after being awoken by a human, things may change yet again.
Oh, also Starscream is Liege Maximo reincarnte.
