Role

During the conflict remembered as the Unicron Wars, Galvatron destroys Starscream, whose spirit drifts through space until it takes hold of an Angel. That fusion produces the hybrid creature Angel-Scream. Once Optimus Prime brings the hybrid down, NERV and the Autobots merge their forces into Autobot-NERV, a joint organization built to oppose Decepticons and Angels alike.
