The Silver Snake

The Story of the Transformers Decepticon Air Commander Starscream. The Transformers Starscream may devious and untrustworthy, but it's these traits that puts the Decepticon Air Commander ahead of everyone else.

Brawny Points

The Story about one of the toughest Transformers, the little bot Brawn. Brawn may be one of the smallest Transformers around, but don't let his size fool you.
