#for some reason starscream is there

Magic: The Gathering deck whose theme is maximising the number of smug anime girls present in the illustrations while still having something resembling a coherent game plan.

I need to hop back into my transformers bullshit for just a moment because I don't think they've had much interaction in canon, but I think it'd be really really funny if Tarn was actually terrified of Starscream.

Like, I dunno if MTMTE/IDW canon has confirmed Starscream's immortal spark for that particular series, but I'm going to assume it carries over. If so, it'd make Tarn's power basically useless against him.

In my ideal headcanon, Tarn got sick of Starscream's shit at some point and went against Megatron to try to murder him. He tried to do this subtly using his voice only for it to 100% not work even a little bit. He would've had this whole build up where he got Starscream alone and was attempting to be a dramatic bitch about the whole thing and build up to the murder and then-

And then it just doesn't work and there's a really awkward pause where Starscream is looking around kind of expecting something to happen when literally nothing does. Tarn is trying to keep a normal conversation going now while also attempting the murder again and again just for it to literally do nothing. Eventually Starscream gets sick of him being weird and walks out judging the guy.

It'd be so fucking funny particularly because Starscream having an immortal spark is generally totally unknown, so Tarn would have to assume that Starscream had found some way to render his ability useless, which is terrifying. Tarn is now extremely worried that Starscream somehow had a spy and found out what he was planning to do ahead of time. He might've even been able to get something into Tarn's head somehow to know his plan this well. Clearly that level of genius must be part of why Megatron keeps him around. Tarn was a fool for having attempted to disobey, and Starscream was clearly not a problem he could solve like this. What if Starscream reports this clear disobedience to Megatron? Tarn just tried and failed to kill the second in command! Starscream would have every right to demand his execution if he so desired, or save this as blackmail!

Tarn is just out of his mind spinning conspiracy theories and getting super high levels of paranoia about Starscream. Just doing whatever he can to not have to be in the same place as the guy. He runs under the assumption he's being blackmailed by Starscream for his attempt and does what he can to not cross the seeker.

Meanwhile from Starscream's perspective, Tarn showed up and had a very weird conversation where he kept raising his voice at random times and then nothing happened. Then the guy freaked out and got even more weird about it. He has no idea why this happened. He has no idea that Tarn is hiding from him. He thought it was weird and stopped thinking about it after a few days. Starscream's minding his own business and mostly forgot about this entire thing after two weeks meanwhile Tarn is having a mental breakdown about it for years.

Aligned Continuity fun fact:

Megatron’s plan was for Soundwave (and Shockwave) to take over and carry on with the Decepticon cause in the event the High Council got rid of him:

“If I vanish, carry on my work. Soundwave, you and Shockwave will carry on. You are my trusted lieutenants.” (from Exodus)

However, as we know, Megatron and everyone else thought Shockwave was killed during the space bridge explosion, so Megatron needed a replacement.

Starscream was that replacement.

And even though Megatron eventually installed Starscream as his SiC, I can’t help but think that Soundwave was still his top choice for a successor. I can imagine Soundwave and Megs discussing this early on in the war:

Megatron: I trust you more than anything, but your social skills are nonexistent.

Soundwave: Starscream’s social skills are excellent, but neither of us trust him.

*look at each other*

Megatron: Are you thinking what I’m thinking?

Soundwave: Of course. Let’s install Starscream as SiC. If something happens to you, he can do the peopling while I continue strategizing and running things behind the scenes.

One thing I love about this fandom is the sheer variety of ways we depict tfp Orion.

Sometimes he's just tfp Optimus but small. Sometimes he's a wholesome dork. Sometimes he's a rather fiery little guy. Sometimes he's more snarky like tfa Optimus. Sometimes he's got that feral edge to him. Sometimes he's a hopeless idealist that we can't help but love and cheer on.

Me, about TFP Starscream rn: His slutty looks and loser boy personality have captivated me.

[astrolionking]

Earthspark ep 21 called out the TF fans that say that Starscream deserved his abuse and it was all his fault and I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO GLAD
