What will Starscream do?

Was watching More Than Meets The Eyes with my son yesterday and for all those times I've watched it, all the sudden I have this thought: what if the first transformer that Teletraan 1 brought back to life is Starscream, not Skywarp? What will he do? The answer might be easy, he might fix all Decepticons but Megatron. What about if the first one is any of the Autobots?

Well, cartoon Starscream would probably leave them all there. Some other incarnations would consider bringing some Autobots back just to tear them apart (Database Starscream) or revive Megatron's head to spite him. If he is in a friendly mood, he might revive the other jets.

The Autobots would revive eachother, and then do the honorable thing; reviving the cons and imprison them.

But what would Runamuck do?

I think Starscream wants to be respected and obeyed too much to leave the other Decepticons frozen in time. He would have had to have revived some of them, because it's not enough for him to be a powerful figure in his own right. He's the sort of person who needs followers to feel good about himself.

In one of his better moments he would have shot Megatron and Soundwave through the head, made it look like an accident and then revived the rest of the Decepticons and taken command. But what he probably would have done is keeping Megatron around so that he could gloat, only to have Soundwave or Ravage set him free at the most inconvenient moment possible.

Shrapnel Clone hit the nail right on the head about the Autobots.

I think SS would, indeed, revive other Decepticons. His desire to lead or rule notwithstanding, this could easily be applied to humans in lieu of other Decepticons, it would be wise for him to have assistance at times. For whatever reason, I'm thinking Reflector would be his first choice.

Subservient manual labor at its most obvious. Also, I can't imagine SS going out alone into a strange world, not knowing exactly how threatening it might be to him. Better to rustle up a few "volunteers" just in case.

Though other episodes imply being in stasis is more or less an equivalent of imprisonment.

He had no problem with killing his fellow Decepticons when he tried to throw the Earth into the Sun. He even suggested that Shockwave should join them...

Well, for the most part he would fail at taking over the Earth. He would fail to gather the needed resources to keep him activated. Heck, I bet he would fail at changing his own oil.

This. I assume that once they outlived their usefulness they'd be toast. Assuming Megatron doesn't come barging in from gods know where at the last minute.

Starscream was the cause for the autobots to be activated. He was the whole reason why they are around. He probably would have done something stupid like first activate the autobots. He might even be an autobot spy.
Galvastron didn't have him unless he was night screamer but I doubt that. I hope not since Nightscreamer was a girl and it sounds nasty.

Cartoon Starscream, especially the pilot version, would try to not wake anyone else up but would accidentally slap the "Restart Optimus Prime" button when looking for the doorknob and wind up with a twenty ton truck in the face. Lets not forget that the following three and a bit seasons are entirely down to Starscream blasting the Autobots awake in the first place. The guy's an idiot.

So you'd much rather Galvastron had a boy as it's less nasty?

If he was in my opinion smart, he would have sabotaged all the transformes that could have chalenged his authority and taken the rest as his folowers.

It's not like Megatron was a genius either, if he actually thought before leaving he would have blasted Prime's head off and blown up the Ark, but alas, he didn't.

Starscream...I can imagine him wanting to blow the Autobots up after taking leadership upon revival but we all know he would **** up somehow, now if it was the comic version....I might see some degree of success then.

That didn't appear necessery. Who would have though that one of the Autobots would accidentally be knocked into the repairbeam?

For maximum hilarity it must be Huffer.
