Seekers were mass produced cannon fodder and as such they were born in sets of three, given very brief growing and education periods before being shipped off to an assignment. However, many members of Starscream’s company would undergo a Mysterious mutation that gave them powers.

Starscream was given his name for his ability to create supersonic screams. The Senate became aware of this mutation, and all those affected were given special assignments. Starscream alongside his siblings, skywarp and thundercracker would become Assassins for the senate.
