not reappear in Beast Wars Neo, leaving Hellscream, Max B, and Gigastorm's fates and activities unknown. Unicron Trilogy Starscream appears in Transformers: Armada as a young arrogant warrior who desperately wished to gain the approval and respect of his leader Megatron (in contrast to his G1 counterpart), but started to become confused as he began to hate both himself and his commander for the abuse heaped upon him as well as being disgusted with his leader's lack of honor and respect over his troops. He originally came to Earth as part of Megatron's expedition to gain the power of the Mini-Cons alongside Demolishor and Cyclonus.

Starscream's death ultimately convinced Galvatron of Unicron's existence and he allied the Decepticons with the Autobots to end the threat.
