Starscream is a schemer plain and simple. There isn’t anything he wouldn’t do to take his “rightful” place as leader of the Decepticons. Unfortunately Starscream is also a coward and this naturally does not help him in achieving his ultimate goal. He is also, on top of being a coward, a megalomaniac and highly egotistical. He basically thinks that all his plans are much better than Megatron’s and he feels that he has earned the respect of his fellow Decepticon subordinates, as well as the title of leader. Ultimately though this is shown to definitely not be the case and his coming into power was met with little rejoice when Megatron was supposedly killed. Starscream only has his subordinate’s respect due to subterfuge and the fact that his title is 'Second in command'. When Megatron returns to life and practically beats Starscream within an inch of his life it always goes back to Megatron ruling and Starscream following his orders.

Starscream unfortunately has the reoccurring propensity for making grand and bombastic speeches, with bold hand gestures for emphasis. When he speaks he often goes off on tangents, even in face of the enemy, often revealing plans and actions committed better left unsaid. All these factors of his personality make him seem somewhat unstable, since he switches from being pompous and confident, to cowering and fearful in an instant. At other times though they work to his benefit, as one cannot say if he is telling the truth or simply acting in order to get what he needs to in order to enact his plan.

When it comes to survival Starscream knows how to do it; being a coward and highly tenacious in meeting your goals means you learn how to survive no matter what it takes. For example: When in the face of Arcee in Partners he begs for mercy and says that he’s sorry he killed her partner, Cliffjumper, just to throw her off her game and gain the upper hand and injury Arcee in the process. Most of the time however Starscream is usually seen groveling and begging for mercy in the face of Megatron, and yet he makes very apparent notions of going against the other, not helping his cause in the slightest. Actually it only makes the jarring division between the two more apparent.

Starscream also has a viciously deceptive and ruthless side and he’s actually rather good at fighting compared to his other series incarnations. When he was leader he punished Knock Out a very self-conscious and overly vain Decepticon by scratching the finish off of his armor, knowing full well that it would cause the other the most pain. This also might be because he hates Decepticons that have taken an alternate path and choose to be automobiles, saying it’s not fit for a Decepticon. However in Operation Breakdown the Decepticon Breakdown is taken hostage and Starscream goes against Megatron’s back to save the other, despite it being against orders. Ultimately though he only saved the other so that when Starscream fully acts out against Megatron the other will choose to side with him.

And he killed an Autobot, Cliffjumper, by stabbing into his chest and ripping out his heart (spark) in a fit of rage. He also regards humans as pathetic and a weak link in terms of warfare seeing no point in associating with them. He tortured Fowler, a human that knows of the Autobot base’s whereabouts, with much amusement and he’d pretty much love any reason to squish them under his feet.

It's also been vaguely mentioned that Starscream is somewhat scientifically curious. Albeit no mention or showing of this fact has been seen so far in the show.

ABILITIES:

‣ Can transform into a F-16 fighting falcon jet
‣ Extremely sharp claws
‣ Extreme speed in jet mode (ADDENDUM: Flight has been severely downgraded in Exit Void. He has limited flight capabilities - can not go above 100 feet. Also cannot sustain flight for over 5 minutes. Cool down period of about 5 minutes is needed before flying again.)
‣ His arm turns into a gun
‣ Also most firearms and guns don’t really do much to these robots so I’d imagine he has tough outer armor. Missiles, high voltage electrical charges, and high powered lasers prove to be most effective.

POSSESSIONS:
Two mounted missiles on both arms. He doesn’t have pockets to carry much of anything else. )8
