The key demands in my head for Starscream were numbers 3 and 4, because, again, in my head, Starscream ran afoul of the prejudices of Autobot society, and had to be twice as good as any of the civilian scientists to be given half as much respect. Actually in my head the military builds held him up as an inspiration, because he managed to avoid being trapped in one of the usual carrers for military models and they all figured that it was Skyfire's own fault he was lost, and Starscream was only charged because he was a military design. They figure if Skyfire had been the one to survive everyone would have been all sympathetic and never dreamed of blaming him.
