Deviations
In a reality wherein Optimus Prime killed Megatron in 2005, Starscream ascended to Decepticon leadership and thus was present to strike a deal with Unicron. The Chaos Bringer upgraded Starscream into Megascream in exchange for the promised destruction of the Matrix of Leadership.
Soon thereafter, when Optimus spearheaded the Autobot attack on Unicron's surface, he was met by the new Decepticon leader, who demanded that Prime turn over the Matrix so that Megascream could destroy Unicron himself. A brawl ensued; Megascream revealed the full extent of his upgrades by combining with Soundwave, Astrotrain, Dirge, and Thrust to form a gigantic warrior. The gestalt Megascream easily crushed and injured Optimus beneath his fist before seizing the Matrix. At the last moment, the stowaway Hot Rod intervened, snatching the Matrix away from the Decepticon leader and opening it. The ensuing explosion destroyed Unicron, with Megascream, his underlings, and Hot Rod all lost in the blast. Deviations

As part of a bid for power, Starscream staged an elaborate scheme that ended with Devastator, and Victorion attacking him and the other members of Cybertron's ruling council, prompting the Mistress of Flame to hand over the Enigma of Combination so he could stop them. Instead, he used the relic's power to merge himself with the two combiners, along with the already dead Menasor and Computron, becoming Ultimate Starscream. A War of Giants However, the power proved too much for him to control, and his form distorted into little more than a giant screaming ball of energy. No longer in his right mind, Ultimate Starscream began to attack the city, with the Mistress, Windblade, Optimus Prime and Megatron attempting to fend him off. Darkest Hour Ultimately, Windblade managed to awaken Metroplex to restrain Ultimate Starscream, allowing Optimus and Megatron to finish him off. Starscream's body was disintegrated by the blast, and the other combiners were revived and released from his control. Destruction's Dawn

Generations
- Starscream (Voyager Class, 2017)
- 4 x compatible Deluxe Class figures
- Power of the Primes Voyager Class Starscream can be linked with any four compatible Combiner Wars Deluxe Class figures to form an unnamed combiner. Starscream's instructions and TakaraTomy stock photos depict the Combiner formed from the wave 1 Power of the Primes Deluxe Class figures, with Slug and Jazz as the left and right arms, respectively, and Swoop and Dreadwind as the left and right legs, respectively. By contrast, the Combiner art on the side of Starscream and Dreadwind's packaging shows Blackwing and Dreadwind as the left and right arms, respectively, and Sinnertwin and Blot as the left and right legs, respectively.
- As a Power of the Primes Combiner, a Prime Master, Matrix core, or Enigma can be installed within the Starscream Combiner's chest, hands, or feet, such as the "Seeker Enigma" that comes packed with Starscream.
Notes
- The Power of the Primes toyline never gave a name for the Combiner formed by Starscream (nor for that matter, the Inferno Combiner). Though it has not appeared in fiction thus far, this wiki operates under the assumption that the gestalt form has its own consciousness as most Combiners do. By contrast, Transformers: Deviations and Combiner Wars does not assign a separate characterization to Starscream's combiner mode, being more along the lines of Grand Scourge.
- The name "Ultimate Starscream" was never given in the Combiner Wars series itself; rather, it comes from an official render of the character.
- Initial plans (or an optional possible use) for the Combiner Wars Cyclonus mold would have used an alternate head as Starscream, with the Galvatronus combiner torso being decoed as "King Starscream".
