I recently found out about this and honestly, it’s just as dramatic as you would expect regarding such a concept.

Okay, so what happens is Starscream- with his dislike of Predaking whom is loyal to Megatron- has the bright idea to try clone his own predacon to give himself a bit of a more even footing.

So he stole a fossil from Shockwave, one that still had “gaps” in the genetic code which needed to be filled before a predababy could be made.

And so of course Starscream used his own CNA. As you do.

And that is how Starscream became a parent of a predacon.

A terrible one who despite a background in science and his previous cloning disaster did not understand that relation doesn’t equal automatic loyalty.

But at the same time Starscream also literally acknowledges that it’s probably because he takes after him that Juniour is acting out and tries give advice on how to act out better. 

Oh yeah, and it should be of note that this predacon kid of Starscream was called Tantrum.

Sadly, it must be said that the seeker ultimately turns out to be abusive to him, much like he was to Predaking, and smacks him because I don’t think he knows another way to try fail to get a predacon to listen to him.

Tantrum promptly rebels and tries to kill Starscream and ends up being killed by him for his trouble after rampaging throughout the Nemesis for a bit. Shredding people.

Starscream then proceeds to manage to pin the whole mess of an affair on some poor, very unfortunate vehicon when Megatron comes back.

And so there it is.

That time Starscream had a predacon kid.

It is truly a time that had to be shared as soon as I learned of it.
