“Please don't feel sad because of my death,Skyfire.”

“It's your fault.”

“You can't change the fact that he's already dead.”

(Oh no, it's Goldbug, Skystar is finished!)

Made some Shattered Glass gifs 🩵💜 on WigglyPaint hehe

No worries! It's good to see someone interested in the ship! (Just sorry it took so long to get to this ask)

But SkyStar originally started in Episode 7 of G1, where Skyfire is found in the Arctic. That establishes their friendship before the war and also their falling out when Skyfire chooses to join the Autobots. What is noticeable is how Starscream is extremely selfish and doesn't seem to care much about anyone else in the whole series, but in this episode he is extremely caring to Skyfire. Saying that he circled half the globe searching for him, and offering to make him his Second in Command. Starscream does not offer that to anyone else in the whole of the series, even in episodes where he teams up with someone else to overthrow Megatron. So it stands out for him only making that offer to Skyfire.

However, there have been noticeable instances of SkyStar in other continuities. Such as the Allspark Manga. It's only available in Japanese, but it's probably the most canon we've had for SkyStar. Someone scanned the pages of the issue they first appear in. (Also there is a scanlation of the first 10 pages). It's a pretty close retelling of the original G1 episode but it tightens the story and makes it even more emotional between them. Then at the end of the manga Skyfire saves Starscream's life when Megatron is about to kill him, and dies having rescued him.

Also in the Dreamwave comics there is a part where Skyfire and Starscream work together to stop Sunstorm, and again Skyfire ends up sacrificing himself to save Starscream and Bumblebee.

Then also we have the IDW Shattered Glass comics. These are set in a mirror universe, so Starscream is a heroic figure and Skyfire is a coward who joined the Autobots out of fear. Skyfire regrets not joining Starscream, and (spoiler warning) Starscream dies at the end of the first part, but Skyfire spends the rest of the story avenging Starscream and searching for a way to bring him back to life.

Those are the main continuities that present the pairing. There are other continuities where they don't appear together but it's interesting to think about how they might be as a couple. Like Earthspark Season 1 (which is set post war and initially gave us a more redemptive Starscream), and Transformers One, where Starscream has been fighting on the surface of Cybertron and Skyfire has been living underground in Iacon.

Other series initially seemed like they could explore SkyStar but quickly dashed the hope of them being together (mostly the Siege cartoon and Skybound comics).
