Quotes 

• Waspinator : What is this? "Program does not respond!" Waspinator does not understand!

  Starscream : [taking over Waspinator's body]  I'll bet Waspinator seldom does! But try not to let it depress you, bug-face...

• Blackarachnia : I scanned your file. You didn't get blasted to scrap metal by Unicron, you got blasted by Galvatron after you betrayed him.

  Starscream : Galvatron was a fool! I deserved to lead! So, you know my little secret. Then, the question remains, why did you not expose me to Megatron?

  Blackarachnia : Well, I thought you might make me a better offer.

  Starscream : [chuckling]  Greed and self-interest, eh? Excellent. I believe I discern a protege.

• Optimus Primal : I have to tell you, Starscream, you're giving space debris a bad name.

  Starscream : Optimus. We've been impetuous. Surely we can work something out... Blackarachnia! Destroy him and we can still triumph together!

  Blackarachnia : Are all your dreams in technicolor?

  [ignites a small cache of energon underneath Starscream] 

  Starscream : Energon? You've betrayed me!

  Blackarachnia : I studied with the master.

  [With a scream, Starscream's spark is disgorged from Waspinator's body] 

  Optimus Primal : Hasta la vista, Starscream!

• Starscream : [through Waspinator's body]  Allow me to present myself: Air Commander Starscream of the Decepticon Battle Fleet!

• Blackarachnia : The Decepticons were our ancestors. For centuries, they warred with the Autobots.

  Megatron : The ancient ancestors of the Maximals.

  Starscream : That war was lost, alas.

  Blackarachnia : And you were destroyed. It's written in the chronicles of Cybertron.

  Starscream : Ah, so it was believed. I fell defending my leader, Galvatron, against the most powerful enemy of all, the giant Transformer, Unicron. My exostructure was destroyed but, miraculously, my spark endured, drifting helplessly through the depths of space, beyond the reach of time itself!

  Megatron : Hmm. And now that you're here, Air Commander, what do you want?

  Starscream : Uh, why, to pledge allegiance to the glorious Megatron and fight as your loyal lieutenant.

  Megatron : Well, you'll forgive the glorious Megatron for not melting into a puddle of gratitude. Tell me, why should I trust you?

  Starscream : Because I can show you how to crush the Maximals and win the Beast Wars once and for all!

• [Starscream lulls Optimus Primal into meeting him alone] 

  Starscream : Good. Now, you reap the appropriate reward for your trust and good faith...

  [Scorponok appears] 

  Starscream : Disarm him, force him to transform, and then chain him in the hold or somewhere!

• Rattrap : You're nothin' but a schemin' snake in the grass!

  Starscream : Ah, flattery will get you flattened, vermin...

• [last lines] 

  Starscream : [floating in space]  I'll be back! Even if it takes a thousand years, I'll be revenged on you all!
