In the seventeenth episode of the first season, Wizard and Boomstick decide to test characters from Hasbro's top toy franchises against one another, highlighting their strengths, feats of speed and weaponry to see who would win [[TitleDrop a death battle]].

The episode starts off with Wizard and Boomstick describing Starscream, the air commander of the Decepticon battle fleet who strives to seeks power and usurp the Decepticon leader Megatron...with little success. He's also capable of firing different types of weapons from missiles, lasers and the Null Ray that shuts down all electronics. He is even able to transform into an F-15 Eagle, a jet that can reach speeds up to Mach 2.8 along with firing off homing missiles and a Vulcan gatling gun.

However he's also a bit of a DirtyCoward, but is able to worm himself into good favors due to his silver-tongue. Unfortunately, his strategy skills are severely lacking to the point that when he was crowned leader of the Decepticons it only lasted a short-lived twenty seconds. The most important thing about him was that his Spark (or life-force) somehow was indestructible, letting him possess different types of machines. This includes a robotic school-girl in the bathroom [[EpicFail without realizing to pull up the girl's underwear]].

As Boomstick looks in astonishment on how Rainbow Dash ate a transformer, Wizard states how Starscream was outclassed in every way. Rainbow was faster than he was, thus able to dodge all of his missiles (and also because Starscream is a lousy shot), but also how since she was a pony, the Null Ray was useless. Plus even if Starscream's spark is is indestructible, he wouldn't be going anytime soon.

Starscream waits impatiently, but his waiting doesn't last long as Rainbow Dash begins to create her famous Sonic Rainboom. Starscream looks in awe at the rainbow trail that is created, but is distracted to not realize that Rainbow sent his homing missiles back at him. Distracted by the blow, he is soon finished off by Rainbow Dash's buccaneer blaze.

Since she's a pegasus, Rainbow Dash is capable of manipulating weather, ranging from kicking clouds to induce lightning and rain, and creating tornadoes on the fly. She also has special moves, ranging from the Buccaneer Blitz to her trademark Sonic Rainboom which lets her fly up to Mach 5 speeds to Mach 10, creating a huge rainbow and split rocks.

Despite her athleticism and cocky attitude, she is loyal to her friends. This doesn't mean that she won't stoop to cheat to win though.

Next up is Rainbow Dash. She's a pegasus from Equestria, the magical land of ponies. Dropping out of flight-school, she took up a job as Ponyville's weather manager. She is shown to be very agile, durable and resilient. She has dreams of joining the aerial performance group called the Wonderbolts. And somehow, she has a black belt in karate.

-->'''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Rainbow Dash:]]''' "YEAH!!!!"

Starscream is in hysterics at the fact that his opponent is a little pony, boasting that he would instantly crush Rainbow without any effort. Rainbow comments on how much he talks before zooming back and forth and kicking him, to no avail. Annoyed by his antics, he now decides to go after Rainbow--after Rainbow herself tags him. Thus the fight goes into the sky with Starscream doing his best to fire a shot at Rainbow Dash with little success. Rainbow is too fast for him and dodges them easily, taunting him with funny faces and raspberries. It isn't until he realizes that Rainbow Dash is riding ''on top'' of him that he gets annoyed and follows her into a giant mess of storm clouds, transforming back to his Decepticon form. This is right where Rainbow wants him, dragging a giant thunder cloud and kicking it so the lightning hits him.

Starscream falls to the ground where Rainbow Dash follows him, only to get a hit with his Null Ray. Starscream laughs at the attack while Rainbow Dash decides that [[LetsGetDangerous it. is. on.]] She begins to fly super fast, creating a humongous tornado that is too fast for Starscream, even in his jet form, to escape. Thus he is hurled back a few feet and Rainbow Dash pursues him. Starscream decides to use his last tactic--his silver tongue. He begins to apologize for his actions and states how he'll "join the herd" while Rainbow Dash is wary about the whole thing. She realizes too late that it was just a set up to unleash all of his homing missiles. Rainbow immediately flies into the sky in a zig-zag pattern, and into the mass of clouds once more.
