[cosmics-beings]

oh im gonna be cheering when skywarp suddenly comes back and tells Thundercracker what starscream did and the two of them commit the most grotesque mutiny against him

Tfa starscream is legit a narcissistic, misogynistic psychopath.

bro actively despises being perceived as feminine and literally sees both blackarachnia and slipstream as inferior to him, and says demeaning shit to them all the time

its far more pronounced in the allspark allmanac and the comics.

But it think it's rich coming from a dude in permanent heels who gets head cannoned as transfem all the time(I don't fully understand what that's all about tbh) he feels a lot more like an abusive 1950s husband but whatever ig.

"I hardly see how that MATTERS?"

Been having a really bad mental health week and tried sketncing some star. Not very proud but eh- there when is ♡

People are finally talking about Goncharov again! I feel like my 12 year old self is finally vindicated. My dad's a film buff so I saw it when I was a kid which... Quite frankly may have been a mistake on his part. But he's also the man who showed me Heavy Metal when I was like 6 so it's all on brand.

I cannot tell you the Gaim damn heart break that is wanting to play Goncharov on the playground and no one knowing what the hell you're talking about. Then the confused attempts at explaining the web of Mafia intrigue and politics with a 12 year olds vocabulary.

I remember getting like halfway through trying to recount Andrei's full on mental breakdown in the sewers when my friends left to go play Transformers...

...

...I had a point.... RIGHT people are talking about Goncharov again and that's good! I need to watch it again cus I like... Only remember it as a cool action movie my dad showed me. And if you think about it, cool action movies your dad shows you that turn out to be formative genre masterpieces are ALSO Toku.

My brain: "Hey, remember how in G1, Starscream's immortal and could travel through time and various universes?" Me: "Yeah, why do you... Oh god." My brain: "What if that's how you explain the fact that he keeps choosing your sona in every timeline she exists?"

So yeah. This is just a concept that I've had but it may or may not be what's actually going on with my sona and Starscream.

Though it also opens up another can of worms with fiction blending in with reality if it goes further and I'm not too sure if I want the concept to go that far or not. Would be neat though if the actual spark of Starscream was just trying to contact me for kisses. XD

I know Knockout becoming an autobot is random, but I don’t think him turning against Starscream is random at all. As I’ve been rewatching some the scenes from Prime, I realize that Knockout genuinely did try to be Starscream’s friend and showed concern for him when no one else does. 

He is also one of his first supporters. 

At the scene where the Omega Lock is destroyed, Knockout tries to defuse the situation with humor because Starscream is obviously upset, and not only does he remind Knockout of his place, he also hits him hard. I don’t remember the exact order of episodes, but I wonder if that’s where they began to fall apart. 

Starscream has either turned on him last minute, beaten him, scratched his armor, and been not so kind to him. His betrayal of Starsceam makes sense when you realize how friendly he has tried to be to him, only for Starscream to throw it back in his face, metaphorically and physically. He doesn’t trust him at all. I think at a point he would have, and cares deeply for Starscream’s wellbeing, but knows if he stays with Starscream he’ll either be killed or mistreated. 

In a way it’s hurtful for Knockout to have been the only crew member that cared for Starscream during the many beatings, and for Starscream to turn around and get physical and emotional manipulative with him when he’s given the chance. 

I think it’s a further indication of Starscream being broken, especially by Megatron. It can even speak to the cycle of abuse, but I don’t think that excuses things either. The more I look at Knockout and Starscream’s relationship, the more I realize it had the potential to become a Starscream and Megatron 2.0. 

I think Knockout saw what Starscream became to Megatron, and didn’t want that for himself. If he did join Starscream last minute, I absolutely think their relationship would get worse.

Starsceam and Blades were together before the war and during the academy days, they were freaky before.

They did some nasty stuff together but loved each other, then blades was stuck in stasis blah blah que much much worse and meaner Starscream.

(I'm a sucker for smut & fluff, I admit it. )

definitely not common knowledge 2 the other bots.

- Blades obsessed anon :3 - 🎀 -

Ooh, nice. You know, I always had a bit of a joke headcanon that Blades is the oldest of the rescue bots. My reasoning is simple: It would be very funny.

And it makes for a perfect chance for him to have known Starscream for a while, and gotten cozied up to him too. Starscream was his mean girlfriend that always reminded the server that, um, excuse me, he asked for no pickles.

But onto the serious stuff. Blades meeting Starscream again after all those years and his panels are gushing. I think it turns him on that Starscream has become even meaner and more pushy. Blades comes back home covered in scratch marks and limping a little because you know Starscream pulled out that barbed seeker spike and made his little helicopter scream.

Could you draw Starsceam? Any version ^ ^

I treid my best🙏

Srory if he lokes ugly:(

Ps: the second one is how i fixd it. Wen i realised he hasn't got wings i already posted it.

I’m not entirely sure at what periods The Sparkling of Unicron take place, but if it takes place during the majority of season 2, is Starscream going to encounter Optimus during their rogue/exile?

If so, I wonder how those type of meetings turn out.

Did it take me two eternities to get around to this? Yes. Am I here writing for it now? Also yes.

Previous part here. Part that syncs up with this request best, here.

Lone Rangers

During his time alone, Optimus did little aside from follow his team to try and aid them. However there was one large exception from that rule, and it came in the form of Starscream.

Starscream was operating as a neutral rogue as well, and while their interactions were always hostile at first, slowly they found a degree of companionship. Optimus didn't need much energon to survive, and so in return for helping Starscream collect some of his own or by giving him what Optimus had stored, the seeker would help him locate his team when he needed it.

Starscream took one look at Optimus and the scrubbed insignia on his shoulder and for the first time in his life refused to comment on it. They worked together only when it benefited them both and often didn't talk. Optimus had no interest in conversing and Starsceam took the hint. While yes, loneliness ate at him as he travelled alone, he was not fond of the seeker nor the fact that he was aiding him. Of course sometimes communication was inevitable, and in those instances, a brotherhood of sorts did end up forming between them against both of their wills.

The first time they spoke was during their initial meeting. It was not a comfortable communication, nor where either pleased to see the other. However it was required as at the time Optimus had no clue where his team were and Starscream was running on fumes. Their exchange started with confusion on Starscream's part, largely because "How the frag did OPTIMUS PRIME get exiled by his own subordinates???" However that wonder and confusion vanished rather quickly when Optimus allowed his field to flare and his true nature to show more than it already was.

There were no more questions after Starscream sensed the Earth itself heed Optimus's will in a startling display of power that caused the ground to quake. Instead they simply exchanged services and went their separate ways the moment Starscream gave Optimus the coordinates to his team's location.

Their second actual conversation happened after Optimus nearly got his helm blown off during a battle around two weeks into his exile. Starscream flew down to Optimus's location in time to see the Prime hastily bolting plating back into place with his lackluster medical kit and his first instinct was to chastise Optimus in the only way he knew how. He took the bolter from Optimus and mocked him viciously even as he patched the wounds himself, being careful to not damage anything more than it already was even if he was uncertain how to bolt some things due to Optimus's strange form.

His original intent was to use his "kindness" as a means to an end, a favor for the Prime to repay later. But as time passed and Optimus continued his onward march to protect his Autobots... Starscream found himself continuing to care for the Prime when they crossed paths. It wasn't much, but some quick bolts to plating that Optimus couldn't reach or the odd set of coordinates without being paid in energon said enough. In return Optimus went out of his way to have energon on hand, and together on quiet nights they would sit in silence, Starscream drinking much needed energon while Optimus tried to stave off the pain of loneliness.

The third time they had an actual conversation was but a few weeks before Optimus pushed himself too far and needed to be recovered by the team. Up until that point their conversations were a mix of snark and silent endurance of the snarkiness in question. However after months of working together off and on... something shifted between them. They weren't friends by any means, but they understood each other in ways they hadn't before.

Starscream knew exile. He had faced it numerous times over his life and was well acquainted with it and clawing his way back into a position of power. It was the hunger that hurt him most though. Never had he been so helpless when it came to problem that was once so easily fixable. This he knew Optimus saw and he hated it just as much as he appreciated it when the Prince of Darkness offered him extra energon without any request for aid.

Optimus was well acquainted with hunger and struggle. Being left on his own was nothing new, he had been made for the express purpose of fending for himself as he completed his mission. It was the loneliness that got to him though after so very long of being swaddled in the comforting presence of friend and foe alike. He was sure Starscream saw his weakness, but he refused to comment when the seeker bolted his wounds shut and silently gave him extra coordinates to places his team were heading.

They were not friends. Nonetheless, they took comfort in knowing the other was there and would help to a degree.

Starscream: How do you handle this hunger? How does it not eat at you?

Optimus: I was made to endure such things, it is of no consequence to me. I cannot die, not as you children of Primus can.

Starscream: Hm, so why collect energon at all?

Optimus: I cannot die, but I can feel pain Starscream. The hunger of a mortal frame still hurts me, thus I try my best to alleviate it.

Starscream: So the mighty Optimus can't be felled, but he can be hurt.

Optimus: That is correct.

Starscream: ...

Optimus: ...

Starscream: Does it bother you knowing that others can die when you can't?

Optimus: ...

Optimus: It does when it comes to those I care about. No matter what I do, one day they will die, and when that time comes I will be unable to follow lest I give up on those that remain. I will never know rest, not like them, not while my maker yet lives.

Starscream: That... must be difficult.

Optimus: It can be... but as with all things, the pain of such wounds passes with time.

That was the last conversation they had before Optimus was retrieved. Optimus dropped off the map without any warning, and in a panic Starscream will never admit he fell into, the seeker searched for the Prime for cycles, trying in vain to find the one he called a brother in arms if only for a time.

[transformershive]

They’re talking smack about someone (probably Starsceam)

[felixdragonheartofficial]

There's something so heartthrobbingly relatable about cyberverse starscream trying to get Megatron to think about everything he's done to him, and megatron just laughs it off like an asshole.

He's so me🤌
