* AdaptationalBadass: No Starscream since he has come close to doing what he's done in ''Cybertron''. Fights Primus twice and lives? Check, though he still loses both times. [[spoiler:Only non-comic relief Decepticon left alive at the end of ''Cybertron''?]] Check. Fought off eleven Autobots to steal the Omega Lock? Check. While his living up to the [[TheStarscream trope he named]] has been done [[WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated by]] [[WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime other]] [[WesternAnimation/TransformersCyberverse Starscreams]], he's done the best to date. Oh yeah, and he isn't a DirtyCoward like most Starscreams.
* AdaptationalHeroism: His ''Armada'' incarnation is by far the most sympathetic version of Starscream ever [[note]] not counting [[MirrorUniverse ''Shattered Glass'']] versions [[/note]]; his character even borders on heroic at times, as opposed to his ''Franchise/TransformersGeneration1'', ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' and ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' incarnations, all of whom were firmly evil. This trait changes for no apparent reason when he returns in ''Cybertron''. ''Energon'' blames the change on Starscream being revived with no memories, although it's implied that he merely CameBackWrong in ''Cybertron''.
** The jarring change in personality makes more sense with the knowledge that in Japan, ''Galaxy Force/Cybertron'' has no connection to ''Micron Legend/Armada'' and ''Superlink/Energon''.

* {{Determinator}}: In all series of the Anime/UnicronTrilogy, he has his moments. The ''Cybertron'' incarnation, in particular, is always trying to get ahead through schemes and just never gives up. Even at his lowest point after his battle with Landmine, he pulls himself back up and displays such power equivalent to Galvatron's; his shock waves defeat the Autobots. His speech to Galvatron boils down to he's risked everything for power, and he's not going to yield.

Contrary to popular belief, "Nightscream" is not a new character who resembles Starscream and is still made clear as his reborn (but amnesiac) form.
