Sub-Group - Deluxe Vehicles, Micro Vehicles, Voyagers
Motto - "Conquest is made of the ashes of one's enemies."
Alternate Modes - F-22 Raptor








Starscream transforms into a jet, in this case an F-22 Raptor. He is bulkier than most incarnations, due to the size of the Raptor combined with the lack of mass displacement. He maintains a simian body shape with a large, triangular chest, large shoulders formed by the jet's distinctive twin tails, long arms, and small bird-like feet. His chest is still formed by the jet's nose. The jet's powerful main engines end up on his back, allowing him to leap great heights into the air and take flight.
