Shooting Starcan't stand the intense feeling of helplessness that often assails him as he watches the Autobot-Decepticon War unfold far below his station inEarthorbit. Sometimes the sights he sees bother him so greatly he will actually abandon his watch, shifting orbit and fleeing from the events occurring below.

Shooting Star observed Decepticon movements from orbit, and reported to any Autobots who could receive him thatBlitzwingwas approaching a strandedoil tankertruck while the other Decepticon jets flew over the Autobot camp as a distraction.

Notes
- Shooting Star's satellite mode is clearly based on thesensor dronefrom thefirst issueof theMarvel US series.No robot mode is shown. There is some speculation that "Shooting Star" may have been an early name for the toy that becameCosmos,as there is some similarity in role/character, and a couple of otherSeason 2characters appear in the book in an "unfinished" form.
