What if Starscream was competent when he later left the Decepticons?

*Armada Starscream basically pulls a Dinobot and leaves the Decepticons for the Autobots (and Alexis) as fast as possible...

*Animated Starscream still plants the bomb on Megatron that helps the Autobots win the battle, but Starscream is actually a surprisingly competent leader and helps the Decepticons conquer many worlds with Autobot Colonies.

When the Allspark eventually reactivates on Earth years later, Starscream brings Blitzwing, Lugnut and Blackarachnia with him to hunt it down; as a result Starscream doesn't confess to placing the bomb on Megatron.

Starscream kinda becomes the Main Villain of Season 1, while Megatron's head still works on trying to restore his body.

Starscream is also Bumblebee's nemesis.

When Megatron's head created Soundwave then Soundwave gets defeated by Bumblebee and Bulkhead, Soundwave finds and joins the Decepticons.

Despite Starscream not confessing, Megatron still had a feeling that Starscream still had something to do with his defeat... So, after Megatron's body was restored, he gives Soundwave permission to destroy Starscream, if he believes the commander is being traitorous.

Starscream find an Allspark Shard and places it on his head to create his clones, insisting to Megatron and Soundwave that they're to help the Decepticons.

Starscream hunts for the Allspark Shards like Megatron and Optimus do, but secrets keeps a few for himself.

He wants to use them against Megatron.

In the Season 2 Finale, Starscream's clones attack Soundwave, Blitzwing, Lugnut and Blackarachnia, while Starscream tries destroying Megatron.

The Decepticons get sucked through the spacebridge except for Srarscream, his clones, Soundwave and Blackarachnia.

Soundwave tries to somehow get Megatron back to Earth, while Starscream hunts for more Allspark Shards.

When the Autobots later get mind controlled by Soundwave, Sari and her father are forced to team up with Starscream and his clones.

Shortly after the team-up with Starscream and Sari, Slipstream (Starscream's female clone) stole almost all of the Autobots' Allspark Shards.

However, the Autobots managed to steal them all back before the finale.

Meanwhile, Blackarachnia focuses on her techno-organic science experiments.

In the Season 3 Finale, Starscream watches the final battle between Optimus and Megatron, deciding to attack whoever the victor is, after the battle weakened them.

Starscream loses his forehead shard to Prowl and Jazz, thus he and his clones are forced to escape.

But Starscream was smart enough to keep an Allspark Shard hidden in his jet seat and Starscream plans on using it to create a new kingdom for himself.

Starscream with his clones, Blackarachnia with her techno-organic creations and Soundwave all escape being captured by the Autobots in the end.

*Prime Starscream still destroys Cliffjumper, Megatron still ends up in a coma and everything stays the same until Megatron wakes up.

After getting beaten up by Megatron again (despite taking care of Megatron's army for years alone, without the Autobots detecting them), Starscream decides that he might have leave the Decepticons soon before Megatron decides to destroy him.

Starscream stopped caring about the war and only cares about his own survival now; Starscream goes on solo missions to get extra energon for himselg and hides it in a place that not even Megatron or Soundwave could find it; Starscream also creates a remote that makes groundbridges anywhere he wants.

Starscream is also trying to find a way to destroy dark energon, to weaken Megatron (so he keeps a few shards with him, but he never uses it on himself).

Later Megatron finds out from Soundwave about Starscream hunting/stealing energon from caves for himself and tries to attack Starscream for it, but then Megatron sees the Autobots and attacks them.

Starscream escapes Megatron then finds Bulkhead (forced to hold on to a boulder) with Miko... Starscream is willing to make a deal with the Autobot; if Starscream gets Miko safely out of the caves, then Bulkhead owes Starscream a favor in the future.

And the favor could be energon or medical supplies or even important information.

At first Bulkhead refuses, but when Starscream points out that Miko is losing oxygen and the other Autobots might not make it in time... Bulkhead reluctantly says yes and promises to help Starscream (which the commander had recorded).

Starscream takes Miko out of the caves and places her in a tree, where Arcee then finds her.

Starscream is amused that Airachnid thinks that she can handle being Megatron's second in command and isn't bothered when she wants the job.

When Starscream leaves the Decepticons, he tells the Autobot about Bulkhead's favor; Starscream wants protection from the Decepticons, in exchange for saving Miko.

The Autobots take him as a prisoner (since he can't be trusted), but they treat him decently (except maybe Ratchet) and Starscream NEVER tells them about who truly destroyed Cliffjumper.

Starscream stays as their prisoner until the events of the Autobots trying to restore Optimus Prime's memory, with everyone distracted, Starscream escaped his cell and took half their energon to his special hiding place.

Starscream never loses his t-cog and he never makes the clones.

Starscream saves Arcee from Airachnid and he says he did it, so Arcee would have to spare his own life someday, since she has Autobot honor.

Eventually, Arcee learns from either Knockout or Breakdown or Soundwave that Starscream destroyed Cliffjumper... but she's forced to spare his life, since he saved her life as well as Miko's life and he could help her rescue Jack from the Decepticons.

Starscream gets captured by Soundwave in Season 3, with Ratchet.

They both kinda bond over how much they both hate Megatron.

Starscream then helps defeat Soundwave during the final battle.

When Megatron is finally defeated, Starscream escapes while everyone is still distracted.

Starscream makes a hidden life on Earth, since he isn't welcome on Cybertron anymore and the Autobots still want to imprison him.

And the second poll:

Feel free to name anyone else, people - including on the female TF protagonists poll!

I find the kids' reactions to Starscream's death in the original Japanese dub to be more impactful than in the English dub. There are no words, but just the incredible music playing while the kids all silently grieve for Starscream.

Sometimes, it's better to show than tell.

Can optimus prime beat unicron

Dear Chaotic Contender,

Yes, but at what cost? As the incarnation of ceaseless conflict, Unicron is invigorated by the very attempt to defeat him, and positions the attacker as an unwitting herald of his power. But if Prime were to surrender, wouldn't Galvatron simply conquer the Mini-Cons and thus the entire universe? Pondering this, Prime knew in a flash why the Mini-Cons led him to meet Alexis, Rad, and Carlos: he knew that his actions must be guided by the desire to protect the innocent, and all else—rank, prestige, power—must be stripped away. He achieved the "action of non-action" necessary to truly defeat Unicron—even if temporarily.

So...

I was gonna write a Transformers Armada Christmas oneshot with my OCs, where Evelyn really wants to share Christmas with the Mini-Cons and her Autobot friends. So she decides to bring in a Christmas tree in the base and, getting some help from Hotshot, she gets a saplings from a forest somewhere. But it's tiny. And then she feels really bad that it wasn't big enough.

That's when Hotshot and Blurr (maybe Smokescreen) disappear and she timidly tries to decorate it with Headlight and the other Mini-Cons. And suddenly, they reappear with the BIGGEST tree Evelyn had ever seen in her life. She's overjoyed! And they get to share Christmas with the Autobots. :)

But I haven't written it.

[First off, it's Christmas day and there's no way I'm getting it done today. 😞]

But secondly, I suddenly realized that Rad who is VERY environmentally aware would be pretty upset if the Autobots sawed down an entire gosh-darn Pine tree just for the holidays...

So yeah.

Mean to her

And they were lab assistants.

What level of brainrot am i at

[viciouslyrobotic]

Radical feminism buys into white supremacist cisheteropatriarchy and requires gender essentialism and exorsexist ideals to work. That's why it operates under the "man vs woman" framework we already live under. That's why Rowling and other radfems are called trans exclusionary, why they're so often racist, and why their communities are so often white, and why the attempt to rebrand it as trans inclusive will never work.

It functionally can't be trans or even gnc inclusive without ignoring several intersections of oppression.

[redscarfconnoisseur]

Been encountering a lot of really good names on FF14 recently

[radicallycooljewishgirl]

No, I’m never letting radblr live down the fact that in response to the brutal rape of Israeli women they said it was deserved, that it was lies, that Israeli women are white,

But there response to men of color immigrants being criticized was all just crying “nazi,” “white supremely,” “you’re just a racist,”

[awesome-normal-heroes]

What if Armada Starscream lived and everyone gets a happy ending?

[trans-androgyne]

Saw a really good post picking apart TERF radicalization, but unfortunately the OP used it to downplay the effects TERFs have on transmascs and say transfems have everything worse. I wanted to share it here anyway with the worst parts cut out because it’s valuable stuff.

I wish the OP would’ve also talked about how this radicalization looks for different groups instead of lumping everyone afab into one, but oh well, it was a good read regardless. They can be found at @/many-but-one.

[sweetpeaches666]

(Sandstorm/Cyclonus getting ready to throw the kids over a cliff.)

Sandstorm/Cyclonus: All righty, kids. Here's the end to your short, little lives.

Carlos: Wait! Wait, wait! Is this really what you wanna be doing with your life? Tossing kids off cliffs?

Sandstorm/Cyclouns: Actually, yes. It's been my dream since I was a little mech.

The kids: ...

Sandstorm/Cyclouns: I was a strange sparkling.
