This led to him being abandoned on the battlefield. A short time later, Starscream was given ownership of the Star Saber as part of a scheme by Thrust to make him the patsy in his plan to steal the Requiem Blaster from the Autobots. However, Starscream's frustration over having been made the last of the Decepticons to gain his partner Mini-Con led him to be manipulated by Sideways into battling with Megatron, which he promptly lost. Starscream originally came to Earth as part of Megatron's expedition to gain the power of the Mini-Cons alongside Demolishor and Cyclonus. In robot mode, his left wing transforms into an energised sword blade, which he wields expertly (at one point, managing to outduel Hot Shot who was using the Star Saber at the time). In his original body, Starscream transformed into a jet, armed with twin null laser cannons activated by his partner Mini-Con, Swindle ( Grid in the Japanese version). It is often thought that the inspiration for his character came from the Beast Wars-era Maximal Dinobot, who also defected from his initial faction, the Predacons, out of contempt for his universe's Megatron, possessed a code of honor and died a hero while gaining redemption. He also possessed a samurai-like sense of warrior's honor and he transforms into what resembles a Sukhoi Su-35. He possessed a rivalry with Hot Shot and later information would credit him with the severing of the Autobot Red Alert's hand. Another notable difference between Armada Starscream and his G1 predecessor was that this Starscream was a formidable warrior and a more serious character, never shying away from battle even when the odds were against him, while the G1 incarnation was rather faint-hearted. Like him, this incarnation of Starscream loathed his commander, Megatron, but not out of any desire to take command of the Decepticons – simply because of the sheer mistreatment and contempt Megatron heaped upon him. The Starscream of the Transformers: Armada ( Micron Legend in Japan) universe was notably similar yet different from his Generation 1 predecessor. Generation 1 predecessor, but on many other occasions has displayed markedly different traits to his namesake, for a variety of reasons. The Starscream of the "Unicron Trilogy" universe has gone through many notable changes in his personality as his story has progressed.
