Known as a notorious villain from the original G1 era of Transformers, Starscream is renowned for his relentless ambition to overthrow Megatron and seize control of Cybertron.
Starfield has sparked impressive fan tributes, with one player skillfully recreating Starscream’s iconic jet mode from Transformers. The success of Bethesda’s latest first-person RPG, available on PC and Xbox Series X/S consoles since September, can be attributed in part to the immense freedom it offers players to explore space as they please. This includes Starfield’s comprehensive spaceship customization suite, allowing players to create their own vessels from scratch or modify existing designs.
In line with the trend of player creativity in games, fans have utilized this ship-crafting mechanic to bring their favorite ships from games, TV shows, and movies into Starfield. Notable examples include the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars, the Planet Express from Futurama, and even the renowned USS Enterprise from Star Trek. Given the Transformers franchise's ties to space travel, it was only a matter of time before a Starfield player crafted their own custom ship inspired by one of the iconic robots in disguise.
Reddit user arpexio took their F-14A Tomcat-inspired Starfield ship and recreated it to resemble the iconic gray, red, blue, and yellow color scheme of the Decepticon schemer, Starscream, from Transformers G1. They shared their repainted ship on r/Starfield, receiving praise from other users for their impressive work, despite a few pointing out that Starscream was actually portrayed as an F-15 Eagle, not an F-14A Tomcat. In the comments section, arpexio playfully admitted to mistakenly including a photo of a Jetfire figure as a reference.
Starscream is well-known among devoted Transformers fans as one of the most iconic villains from the original G1 era. Serving as the second-in-command to the malevolent Megatron in the Decepticon army, Starscream often dreams of usurping his ungrateful leader and ruling Cybertron himself. He has made appearances as both an antagonist and a playable character in various Transformers video games and is expected to make a comeback in the upcoming Transformers: Reactivate.
In different ways, gamers have shown their appreciation for the Transformers franchise and its iconic characters. They have customized their PS5 consoles with the colors of the villainous Decepticon faction and created Autobot-inspired mechs in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Currently, the infamous Starscream can be found exploring the vastness of space in Starfield, likely plotting to overthrow Megatron and become the next ruler of Cybertron. Starfield can be enjoyed on PC and Xbox Series X/S platforms.
