Starscream - Mitsuoka Orochi (White Pearl) - Transformers Toys

Starscream has been appointed Commander of the "Questors" agents organisation, under direct command of Megatron. His body is infused with a large amount of Hytherion's somatic cells that are also the source of Megatron's power, and as a result he has been monstrously strengthened.
He is aware that he is known for his ambitious and treacherous nature, and receiving such powerful upgrades has made him feel more puzzled than anything else. He is always suspicious that he might be a test case of some experiment.
Regardless of his situation, Starscream still intends to avoid every trap and seek every possibility of defeating Megatron.
His new alternative form still retains a flight mode and space travel mechanism, and to activate the all-surpassing Timaeus Drive, his whole body changes into Auto-Form. His appearance is true to his old nickname "Silver Snake" and distinctly embodies his cunning.

"Foreshadows"
Megatron wielded his power like a malevolent deity and destroyed many galaxies. But each invasive assault he had conducted from the outer dimension was restored and invalidated by the guardians of the multi-dimensional universe, Alternity. He became irritated as most of his actions proved futile and put his plan of bringing the Alternity themselves down into action. As a preliminary step, he sent his elite troop of Destron Alternity candidates picked from various worlds to the Earth below. In one world, Starscream encountered a Convoy Avatar and fired his dreadful Nullifier while the enemy was still taken aback by his unexpected transformation from a sports car.
"I hear you are called gods by some....", he coolly declared as he looked down the crumbling Avatar body, "but you should know that many myths end with their Ragnarök". But the Convoy Avatar showed no sign of tragic bravery and gave a reply Starscream didn't expect. "We foresaw the eventual twilight in the future of Alternity. We have already been prepared."

Starscream's vehicle mode, Mitsuoka Orochi's design is inspired by a Japanese mythical creature, "Yamata no Orochi" the eight headed serpent.

Ragnarök; Also known as "the Twilight of the Gods" in Japan, is taken from Norse mythology.

Ragnarök, "final destiny of the gods" is a series of major events, including a great battle foretold to ultimately result in the death of a number of major figures (including the gods Odin, Thor, Freyr, Heimdall, and the jötunn Loki), the occurrence of various natural disasters, and the subsequent submersion of the world in water. Afterward, the world resurfaces anew and fertile, the surviving gods meet, and the world is repopulated by two human survivors. Ragnarök is an important event in the Norse canon, and has been the subject of scholarly discourse and theory.

In his bio, "Silver Snake" is said to be Starscream's old nickname, it was one of the nicknames created for Starscream by Bob Budiansky. Most 1984 characters had nicknames intended for use in their Transformers Universe profiles, but they were all excised, save for a few printings of the profiles in the "Transformers Comic Magazine" digest series.
