Starscream

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.
