Bob Budiansky, who was given the task of naming the toys supplied to him by Hasbro in order to help create the story for the Transformers line, gave his characters alternate names to accommodate them as a form of choice. In the case of Starscream who was a silver jet in vehicle mode, one of the alternate names given to his character by Budiansky was 'The Silver Snake'. Though this name was never used, but remained in Budiansky's original notes, it is interesting to note that the character of Starscream in the original G1 series was voiced by comedian voice actor Chris Latta. In addition, Chris voiced the character of Cobra Commander in another popular cartoon of the time 'G.i.Joe' The voice Chris used for both characters were identical and were the two characters Chris was most remembered for. In addition, to being part of a "Snake" named group as its leader, the character of Cobra Commander was seen often wearing an iconic "Silver" face plate that concealed his identity that was revealed in the 1986 'G.i. Joe The Movie' as being partly snake like in form due to a science accident, hence making him somewhat of a 'Silver Snake' in his appearance.
