Just curious, has Starscream ever seen Skyfire get that mad before? (when he turns blue and beat the energon out of Magnus)

Yeah, once or twice. When people said the wrong thing at the wrong time lol

[cutekittenlady]

If I could inject Skyfire into the animated verse I'd make it so he and Starscream still have their shared history but it's a tad different.

Starscream starting off as some form of scientist, or researcher. A role he finds boring and is frustrated by what he perceives as a lack of respect. And Skyfire having been created/designed as a military machine (much like Omega Supreme in animated) and like Starscream he's dissatisfied with the role and dreams of being allowed to explore the stars and pursue knowledge.

This mutual dissatisfaction was the foundation of their friendship as they both felt forced into a life they didn't want and weren't "destined" for and ultimately resulted in them siding with the decepticons in order to get the lives they wanted.

Unfortunately they also shared a mutual jealousy. Skyfire being jealous that starscream had access to a wide range of knowledge, a privilege he didn't seem to appreciate. And of course Starscream was jealous of Skyfires power and the fear he could inspire in others (something Skyfires self conscious about) as well as what he perceived a skyfire wasting his potential. This would lead to a lot of built up tension between them as Skyfire would start to feel Starscream didn't take full advantage of the opportunities and choices he was given, things Skyfire would have killed to have. And of course Starscream began to perceive Skyfire as looking down on him.

Of course this friendship would eventually fall out somehow which I think would coincide with Skyfire leaving the Decepticons as he came to object to their methods and realizing that Megatron had no intention of actually giving him what he had likely been promised. That being a cybertron that would let him freely explore the universe and pursue his true passion of scientific research and development.

Now, an important aspect I'm not sure of is WHEN Skyfire betrays the decepticons and/or defects. As it would slightly alter the reasoning for why he doesnt seem to be around in series. Not by a lot but still.

Regardless of whether Skyfire openly defects, acts as a spy, leaks autobots into, etc. he winds up playing a role in winning the war and driving the decepticons from Cybertron.

Although he ultimately helped them win, I think tfa Skyfire would not stick with the autobots. Either because he winds up exiled like the rest of the decepticons (something I imaging happening if he didn't defect until the end of the war) or else he allowed himself to go into self-exile after having lost faith in Cybertron as a whole.

After all, he'd banked on the decepticons being a way to change cybertron into a more equal and free society, but they'd just turned out to be warmongering despots. And while the autobots likely do change a bit after the war, its not enough for Skyfire to gain any confidence in the government. Besides all that a requirement for his full amnesty could have been a required frame change, something skyfire rebelled against. Not because he loved having a war frame but because he viewed it as just another way the autobot government was exerting their power over his body and mind.

So Skyfire is either forced into exile or willing goes into it in order to preserve his own ideals. I imagine him finding old reports and journals and slowly teaching himself all the scientific knowledge and know how that he'd always wanted to learn and partaking in scientific experiments and explorations. All of which hes VERY satisfied to find that hes good at.

He tells himself that hes happy this way, but in reality he is crushingly lonely. He creates an assitant bot named Doc (stealing that from idw lol) and may even start keeping some organic lifeforms he finds around his lab as "pets" in order to have some form of company. Beyond the crushing loneliness though, hes also frustrated to find that despite pursuing the self education he'd always wanted hes dissatisfied as he has no one to share these discoveries with.

How exactly he comes into contact with our main cast I'm not sure. Maybe they crash land on the planet or asteroid or moon or whatever his lab is on, maybe the decepticons/autobots are both coming after him, etc.

Regardless of the exact circumstances, I really like to imagine that he develops a sorta odd friendship with Isaac Sumdac, who is someone of similar interests he can finally share his own knowledge and ideas with. Furthermore he'd probably have some VERY interesting interactions with the Jettwins (he isn't a huge fan of what was done to them, even if they seemingly enjoy the results, as it shows yet again how ready the government of cybertron is to control the forms of regular cybertronians to meet their own ends) and especially Omega Supreme who, much like Skyfire, was more or less created to be used in a war.

The ponies are escalating. What started as a fun re-designing exercise, has now turned into a full blown AU.

So have a small comic, a family tree and some doodles and designs. As well as a few notes at the end with some explanations and small bits of lore.

Extra Notes:

I always liked the theory, that in TFA the protoform of Sari came from the Decepticons or more specifically Megatron.

I also find it incredibly hilarious how in Season 1, Megs keeps trying to build himself a new body, but just causes more sentient bots to be created, making him essentially a dad.

So I made both Soundwave and Sari his kids, although he only raised Soundwave (extremely reluctantly) and left Sari at a random door in a neutral town with her adoptive father Professor Sumdac.

I already have a few plot points focused around Megatron's family, mainly how his own raising impacted him as a father.

The idea of the 'cons giving up their kids is a reappearing theme. Since the Autobots and Decepticons are at war, a lot of 'cons leave their young in neutral towns, so they are not impacted by the war.

The Autobots are the complete opposites. They heavily rely on their community to help raise their young. Especially siblings help each other out.

As an example, Ultra Magnus and Alpha Trion were both single-fathers when raising OP, SP and RP, so they worked together. When one of them had a shift or had to go to the frontlines, the other took care of the kids. They also lived in the same house for convenience. This meant that cousins like OP and SP grew up seeing each other more as brothers.

The younger ponies also tend to early on become part of the war. In hard times, they would be considered the last line of defense and would be taking care of the younger fillies.

Some of the earlier, more saver missions young ponies get to do are reconnaissance/scouting missions, where small teams are sent out to look for new resources, allies and places to set up base.

On one these missions, Optimus's team ends up in the neutral town Sari is living in, known as Detroit. From there our story kicks off as Sari decides to set out together with Team Prime. This gets back to Megatron, who sends out his own team to track them down, determined to make sure Sari does not end up an Autobot.

Angst idea for the Seraphina AU: What if when Starscream and Skyfire were together, he never knew about Pretty Poison and when Starscream was finally going to tell him, that's when Skyfire died/disappeared?

adding onto that: what if starscream finds out about sentinel/seraphina + optimus and urges seraphina to go after optimus bc he doesn't want her to go through what he did?

This is an in progress fancomic of mine featuring DJW's unused Tom Kenny inspired design for Starscream in the Human Error episode. Here he's been mysteriously turned into an inferior organic thanks to some planet of merpeople and his ex-husband is stuck trying to keep Starscream from accidentally getting himself killed or seriously hurt from him being, well, Starscream. Lots more to come,in the meantime you can find all other pages of this comic here

Winged Sentinel au

Act 2 Snippet 10: The Banishment

Warming: Sequel to fanfic, heavy angst, dark themes and a little bit shippy.

Wasp entered the infirmary, and the medics ushered him over to Ironhide. He was lying on an exam table with a tube in his neck, and next to Ironhide was a table that had a bloody microphone on it. Ironhide’s optic widens in surprise, seeing Wasp as a visitor.

“W-wasp what are you doing here,” asked Ironhide in a hoarse voice

Wasp placed his servo on the bars of the exam table before taking a deep breath.

“Wasp doesn't forgive Ironhide but Wasp thanks Ironhide for what he did back there” thanked Wasp “Wasp will promise to take care of your team”

“Ha.. will I figure it was about time that it did the right thing for once after you know after everything I have done “ sighed Ironhide “You deserve a life you know”

Ironhide places his servo softly on Wasp's servo, giving him a soft weak, which Wasp acknowledges with a small nod. Ironhide was proud that he could make amends with Wasp, for once things seemed to be getting back to normal until Ultra Magnus’s voice came out of an intercom above the berth.

“Autobots find arrested the fugitive Sentinel Prime for assault “ announced Ultra Magnus echoing across the the room

_______________________________________

Optimus, Bulkhead, and Ratchet step foot toward Bumblebee's cell, where the yellow bot is sitting down on the floor, sinking in regret.

Optimus approached putting a servo on the cell's glass as stated down at the yellow bot’s blue optics.

“I appreciate what you did back there, Bumblebee, “ spoked Optimus his moving servo across the glass of the cell slowly.

“Well..did what I need to do you know “sighed Bumblebee “he…well you know you know as much as a bot as I am and by way.. tell Sari that's I'm sorry”

“Oh, don't worry, Buddy. We're going to get you out of there. I already paid for half of your bail. I just need a few more bucks, that's all,” Bulkhead promised.

Bumblebee was about to thank Bulkhead for his gesture when suddenly With no warning at all the Elite Guard with the expectation of Sentienl entered the room all looking worried and panicked.

“Have you guys seen SP?!” asked Jazz, scanning the room for any site of the blue prime that ran off.

“Huh, no, why, you ask?” Questioned Optimus turning his attention to the elite guard with the rest of his crew

At that moment, Ultra Magnus’s voice came booming out of an intercom above the Bumblebee cell catching everyone off guard.

“Autobots find arrested the fugitive Sentinel Prime for assault ” announced Ultra Magnus with a booming voice echoing room

The announcement sent shivers down Optimus’s spine while Ratchet, Bulkhead, and Bumblebee’s optics widened at this as they all wondered what Spark did Sentinel do

“Huh, that's why he sorta got in a fight with Ultra Magnus, “ gulped Jazz, pointing at the intercom.

“I WHAT- SENTINEL DID WHAT!” yelped Optimus, shocked beyond belief, while Ratchet, Bulkhead’s jaws dropped on the ground.

“Hey man, chill. He was just trying to protect Jetfire and Jetstorm since Mangus went cold against them, “ explained Jazz smoothly. “Mags Try offlining them twice, and now who knows where SP went, “

Optimus stared in horror at the words coming out of Jazz's glossa. After all, Ultra Magnus had always been a good leader with good intentions at least from Optimu’s view, so surely there was a reason for what he did right. He just needs to get Ultra Magnus and Sentinel to talk things out and everything will be fine. Right?

“i- Huh I'm sure this all just huh.. test that Ultra Magnus step up” uttered Optimus making an excuse for Ultra Magnus “I didn't think he actually meant to offline Jetfire and Jetstorm”

“Excuse me what” questioned Jetfire, narrowing his optics at Optimus in disbelief that he doesn't believe them

“Huh look Op I know you weren't there but I'm pretty sure he meant it for real” uttered Jazz. “If he didn't, he won't make this announcement “

“Well, this announcement.. could be a part of this huh test “ excused Optimus Prime wanting to believe that Ultra Magnus would never do such a thing and still want to have fate in his leader. “Ultra Magnus would never…will you know”

This pissed Jetfire off since he saw his himself and brother nearly getting killed by Alpha Trion, the brief betrayal they felt when they thought that Sentinel was going to go through with Ultra Magnus's order and now Optimus here claiming that it was all just a test. The nerve of him

“So what? Are you saying that Alpha Trion didn't try to kill us!” Hissed Jetfire “We nearly died and you just don't care!”

“What no- of course I do. It's just that Ultra Magnus always-” Jetfire cut off Optimus’s excuses for Ultra Magnus with a deadly glare...

“No you listen to us, Ultra Magnus doesn't give a frag about us at all, he doesn't see us as Autobots and he’ll never will “ hissed Jetfire poking at Optimus's chest “This isn't some test, this is real, got that”

“Well, I still think-” Jetfire slapped Optimus hard across the faceplate before he could come up with another excuse for Ultra Magnus making everyone gawk in shock at the site.

Jetstorm quickly pulled Jetfire away from Optimus before he could get into a brawl with him and Ratchet quickly checked if Optimus was ok while Jazz tried to tell anyone to cool it.

“Jetfire, he's just like the others. He isn't worth it right now,” Jetstorm said, calming his brother down. “ Let's just find Sentinel, okay?”

“Fine “ huffed Jetfire pushing Optimus to the side while Jetstorm followed behind him to find Sentinel.

When the twins left, Jazz went over to check on Optimus while Ratchet helped him recover. Meanwhile, Blurr went after the twins to make sure they were okay.

“Are you ok there Op'?” asked Jazz

Optimus stood there bewildered at what happened however he quickly shook it off believing that this was all still somehow a misunderstanding and that the only way to solve this was to talk it out.

“I’m ugh fine...I'm fine, let just go after Sentinel “ groaned Optimus in ignoring the slap completely “Bulkhead and Ratchet you stay here with Bumblebee while Me and Jazz, will scan out and search for Sentinel”

“Are you sure, you don't want us to come with you? “ asked Ratchet

“I’m sure, I just need to talk with him ok” sighed Optimus

Ratchet nodded telling Optimus to be careful before the red prime left Fortress Maximus with Jazz following behind him.

_________________________________________

Sentinel soared aimlessly across Cybertron until he landed in front of the doors of the academy transforming into his bot mode and running inside knocking over everything until he reached the inside of Elita's quarters where he fell on his knees in front of her memorial.

He broke the vow that he made to her the only thing that he had left of her in his life and now he dishonored that, he feels like he failed her once again as the only he could see in front of him was a vision of her falling to her death over and over again in front of him. .

He built his whole career and with his self image on following protocols because of her loss yet now he broke a direct order and he doesn't know what to do with himself with Ultra Magnus getting stabbed being the final straw for him as his optics filled nothing other than emptiness in his spark that he felt there was nowhere to turn to.

Once again he was all by himself with the only company being the ever expanding void that was consuming his hard drive as he began talking to Elita’s photo on her memorial while tears fell from his faceplate.

“i…Elita..i-I…I.. failed you..not just once..but.twice..and again”, sighed Sentinel .“I.. don't deserve you… I never did”

Sentinel felt the whole world disappear around him in a spinning red void of Ultra Magnus’s agonizing screaming, visions of Wasp and Elita as corpses floating around him.

He just wanted it to all end, for this nightmare to be over and for himself to disappear into nothingness as he had a vision of himself sinking into a dim pool; this time, no photos were pushing him to move forward.

There was only pain. Pure agonizing pain from cycles of grief, regrets, and mistakes all come back to take him down deeper in this endless void.

He glances up to see a vision of his own lance above him slowly heading towards his neck.

He was about to close his optics as the lance was about to cut off his neck when he heard two familiar voices behind him that snapped him out of it.

“Sentinel!” cried out the voice of two seekers that he held close to his spark.

Sentinel turned his helm to find Jetfire and Jetstorm right behind him staring down at the blue prime with concern.

“H-how did you find me!” yelped Sentinel quickly backing against a wall with panic in his optics.

“We followed..your.. huh little..path, “ explained Jetstorm, pointing at the path of destruction behind him and the Jetfire that Sentinel caused.

Jetfire and Jetstorm turn back around to widen their optics at the memorial of Elita One that Sentinel was previously kneeling in front of.

“I- is that Elita One, “ asked Jetstorm, softly approaching the distressed prime “The one with the journal.”

Sentinel shifted his optics between the twins and Elita's memorial in a mix of panic and sadness not knowing what to say since other than Optimus he never really told anybody about Elita's One so this left him in stutters as he felt like he was back against a dead end since he never felt so vulnerable and thank to his hard drive being a mess he let down all defensives.

“i-i she was so much more than just the one with the journal..she was everything to me, and I-i failed her… I broke my vow and..“ choked Sentinel “I lost her again! She’s gone! She..I.. have nothing now!”

Sentinel grabbed onto the wall, squeezing it while inhaling sharply as he talked about how he failed his duty as an Autobot, failed Elita one by breaking a direct order, his fear of losing his rank again due to what he did to Ultra Magnus, and how to keep destroying everything around him.

The twins hearing of this immediately pulled Sentinel into a hug seeing how much pain he was in and Sentinel, although a bit shaky, slowly accepted the hug sinking into it like a lifeline.

“i-we don't know Sentinel…but we are here for you “ sniffed Jetstorm.

“And you still have us ” added Jetfire “And..well we still have you”

“i-I you know I really don't understand why you two..why..you two like me..to see me as you know..as a..sire“ choked Sentinel “I mean just look around and see what I done”

“Well for one you never gave up on us even when the chips were down and ever since you came into our lives with those wings..we never felt more..well.free before “ confessed Jetstorm “Look we still don't like what happened with Wasp but you gave me and brother something that nobody ever gave us..you gave us a chance.“

“i-I is…Hold on, is that why you drew that picture?” questioned Sentinel, choking on his tears.

Jetstorm nodded as he kept hugging Sentinel with Jetfire since it was the only thing that could think to do at that moment. Jetstorm wanted to tell him that they knew what it was like to lose someone yet the memory was far too painful for either of them to say so the twins decided to let Sentinel cry himself out.

“I- wow, I- you know... Elita would have loved you two..“choked Sentinel. “If..she was…if she was still..here”.

“Can you tell us more about her if you want “ asked Jetstorm softly

“Well.. sh-she was beautiful, quite sassy, and fought and smiled like no other bot in cybernation, “sniffed Sentinel. “She was a true Autobot and…I failed her.. failed the Autobots”

Jetfire and Jetstorm kept hugging Sentinel, trying to comfort him; until Optimus entered the room and covered his glossa at the sight of Sentinel and the twins hugging each other next to Elita's One memorial.

Jetfire gave Optimus a deathly glare as if to tell him to “get out of here”, Optimus gulped a bit as he slowly and cautiously approached the three mechs.

“Sentinel, did you..did you make this?” asked Optimus in genuine surprise.

“Optimus I- huh..yes…I did..” choked Sentinel, “and.. ugh, it doesn't really matter..what the point? I failed her.. she's gone... I-i killed her..”

Optimus was taken aback by Sentinel claiming that he killed Elite One since he knows that is not what happened at all.

“Sentinel you didn't kill Elita..” uttered Optimus “and this memorial..it does matter..it more than matter “

“I-you don't understand, Optimus! I made a vow to her that I would never break protocol, and I-I broke it…I lost her all over again.“ cried Sentinel. “What am I supposed to do? I'm a criminal!”

“Sen- Sentinel I didn't know “ sighed Optimus before sitting next to him “Look you didn't kill her... What happened was a ..it was a..a..accident..I guess it has always been an accident and you know what following or breaking rules can't save everyone “

“Then what will, what will save everyone?” asked Sentinel in tears and frustration wishing that there was a clear situation.

“Well maybe there's a middle ground where sometimes you have to follow rules to do what is right but also break a few rules too you know“ sighed Optimus.

“H-how I am supposed to know what is right and what is wrong anymore, “ asked Sentinel.

“Honestly Sentinel I don't know either “ answered Optimus honestly “Some you just.. don't know..”

Suddenly the four mech overhead the sound of shouting and footsteps outside of Elita's room that was calling for Sentinel's arrest.

“Give it up Sentinel, we have the whole place surrounded” yelled the distant voice of an Autobot police officer echoing into the room.

The twins Immediately panic hearing this since they both knew that Sentinel didn't have long until the police showed up to take him away so they both quickly grabbed his servo ready to bolt out of there.

“Come on let's get you out of here” yelled Jefire about to run out of the room with Jetstorm and Sentinel in tow, however, Optimus blocked their pathway.

“But I know one thing, you have to go out there and talk to Ultra Magnus about what you did, “ uttered Optimus blocking the door. ‘I’m sure you can clear this all out“

“Are you serious,How many times do I have to tell you that he still killed us, not just once but twice “ yelled Jetfire, stepping up to Optimus in rage “If Sentinel goes out there nothing will change, we have to get him out of here.. Ultra Magnus isn't our ally”

“But he’s our leader he couldn't-” Once again he was cut off by a hissing Jetfire that was tired of Optimus’s excuses for the Mangus.

“He’s your leader, not ours “spat Jetfire in resentment pushing Optimus to the side and running off with Sentinel and Jetstorm in tow.

Optimus didn't want them to escape for he believed this would be avoiding responsibility for what Sentinel did was going to make things worse so he went after them.

Optimus nearly catches up to the three running yet Jetfire shoots a wave of fire his way sending Optimus crashing into a distinct wall and making Sentinel gasp a little “Optimus” however, Jetfire and Jetstorm kept pulling Sentinel away towards any exit point as a police bot kept appearing in every corner of the academy barking them to halt.

The twins attempt to lose to the police by taking sharp turns in the hallways. Going up and down stairs along with rolling into different classrooms. anything to keep Sentinel away from the law trying to arrest him.

While the twins were focused on getting Sentinel out of the academy, Sentinel himself began to think about how much trouble the twins could get for helping him avoid the law. He thought it would affect their future and He thought about what could happen to the Aerialbots with a missing leader. These thoughts made Sentinel stop in the middle of the hallway as realized that running away would only cause more problems as couldn't bear the thought of Jetfire and Jetstorm being locked behind a cold cell, meanwhile, the twins tried to keep pulling him towards an exit.

“Come on Sentinel we are almost to the exit, we can make it “ cried Jetfire in almost joyful relief.

“i-I can't go with you... i-I have…to have..to stay..” cried Sentinel, pulling away from the twins.

“What, Sentinel, if you stay they are going to arrest you! “ yelped Jetstorm

“And you don't think I don't know that!” yelled Sentinel “I know fragging exactly what is going to happen to me but it's better than what is going to happen to you guys..if you keep helping a wanted fugitive! Let them take me”

“Bu-but it not fair we just got you back” protested Jetfire turning his servo into a blaster again “We can fight them all of I just know it”

“No, you can't..they are just going to arrest you too..and..I don't want you guys in prison, got that!” yelped out Sentinel before turning his helm over to Jetstorm.

“I'm not.. letting you guys ..End up like her...I had to do this ” With that Sentinel ran off toward the wave of upcoming police bots.

“Sentinel, wait!” cried Jetstorm and Jetfire simultaneously.

“Here your little villain Cybertron!” Yelped out Sentinel with arms wide open dramatically fully ready to be arrested.

The wave of police bots pounce on top of Sentinel as soon they see him, Sentinel screeches as they pile on him and put him in static cuffs on his servos while the twins look on mortified.

At that very moment, Optimus suddenly showed up again, he stare at the whole screen in utter shock at the sight of Sentinel getting cuffed and him not resisting at all, almost as if the fire that was one inside of the blue prime’s spark gave out leaving nothing left behind other than this shadow of once a prideful prime.

Jetfire seeing Optimus's faceplate again immediately glared at him in rage getting ready to shoot his blaster at the red prime's face for trying to let their sire figure get arrested however Sentinel muttered at him to stand down while Jetstorm held him back

“Sentinel prime you under arrest for the assault of Ultra Magnus, got anything to say” hissed one the police bots

“I.ugh.. Jetfire and Jetstorm..t-they aren't involved in this... it's all me” Choked Sentinel “I-it has always been me”

______________________________________

Once again Optimus finds himself in the council hall with his crew with the expectation of Bumblebee watching another trial take place.

This time it was the trial of Sentinel Prime who stood at the witness stand looking down in guilt while many cameras flashed in his faceplate.

The news of Ultra Magnus’s assault spread like wildfire across Cybertron so this time the media were there recording the events live while the Ariealbots stood near Skyfire to watch the fate of their leader along with the Elite Guard all worrying about the fate of Sentinel Prime as they all waited for Ultra Magnus to appear on the council bench.

To everyone's surprise instead of Ultra Magnus appearing on the stand in person, he appeared on a large monitor wearing an eyepatch on his injury, he wasn't alone Wheeljack was In the background at a workbench connecting wires together seemingly working on something.

Ultra Magnus ushered everyone into silence with a servo wave before speaking with his usual stoic voice that had an underline of anger behind it.

“Sentinel prime, you assaulted the most important position on Iacon, do you have anything to say for yourself “ announced Ultra Magnus with a voice echoing across the council hall

Sentinel started up Ultra Magnus with an optics mix of guilt and anger wondering why it mattered considering he was going to get punished either way however he couldn't help having a light of justice brightening in his spark that everyone must know what Ultra Magnus did towards Jetfire and Jetstorm.

“Yes I do, you shouldn't have ordered the offlining of Jetfire and Jetstorm twice, once by Alpha Trion sevros and by my own sevros” shouted Sentinel out loud for everyone to hear. “What kind of leader are you!”

The media gasped in disgust and horror as rumors among themselves spread like wildfire as to why Ultra Magnus would send out such a cruel order while Ultra Magnus himself began visibly sweating trying to come up with a way to pull himself out of this without destroying his reputation.

“A very bold claim from the one who on trial” shooted back Ultra Magnus believing this would be the end of it yet he forgot that Sentinel wasn't the only one that was in the council room when his assault happened

“Hey If anyone should be on trial it should be you, man, Sentinel isn't the only one that saw what happened “ piped up Jazz with crossed arms. “What you tried to be sick”

“I agree, what is wrong with you?” scolded Blurr in a disgusted

Sentinel smiles slightly at the sight of Blurr and Jazz coming to the twins' defenses with the twins themselves talking about everything that Ultra Magnus along with Perceptor has done to them.

“They used a machine on us” piped up "Jetfire" poking at us like we were toys!”

“and it.. always hurts and I could still feel it during the night!” added Jetstorm ready to take down the bot never care about their well-being

Soon most of the council room was filled with the Elite Guard criticizing Ultra Magnus along with the media gasping at the situation asking the Magnus if it was true the Magnus responded with either silence or dismissing it every time however it was clear that his composure was cracking under the pressure.

Optimus, still seeing Ultra Magnus as a good leader who would never harm another Autobot, steps up to his defense as he stands on servos on the desk of the jury bench getting everyone's attention.

“Hold on everyone I'm sure this is just all a test, right Ultra Magnus this just a test right?” Optimus looked up at Ultra Magnus with the hope that it would confirm the idea that Optimus believed since he was a sparkling that this Mangus did what was right for the Autobots.

Ultra Magnus simply turns away from Ultra Magnus sending a knife into Optimus’s spark feeling betrayed by his long silence.

“A test has nothing to do with this trial, now if you don't mind I have one to progress with if you don't mind so stay quiet Optimus “ dismissed Ultra Magnus expecting Optimus to stay quiet and do as he was told as always

The knife stabbed deeper at this as Optimus felt a betrayal that was more painful than the experience of death itself. He didn't want to believe that Ultra Magnus would do such a thing that Ultra Magnus was still a good bot so slam into the judy bench again.

“Tell me that you didn't order the offlining of two Autobots Sir, tell me that there is a good reason that you did this” cried out Optimus mixed with betrayal and anger “Tell me, Sir ”

Whispers from the media grew louder along with the criticism from the Elite Guard and Optimus’s demanding what was going on made Ultra Magnus finally cracked.

“Enough! I did what was necessary at times and you were all done the same “ snapped Ultra Magnus at everyone around him.

Everyone stared at Ultra Magnus in revulsion and the council room filled with dread gaps and whispers yet this reveal didn't stop there due to the event being filmed live Ultra Magnus's little outburst was seen across Cybertron as everyone’s optics widened in petrification at the who Ultra Magnus really.

Ultra Magnus realized this so quickly he tried to switch attention back to the trial in an attempt to save his faceplate while everyone glared at him as if he were the scone of Cybertron.

“H-however this has nothing to do with the current trial so let's continue with that shall we “ coughed Ultra Magnus trying to get this trail over as quickly as possible unfortunately for him Optimus wasn't having it.

“How could you sir!, you're our leader and y-you just threw two Autobots' lives away like- like they were nothing!” cried out Optimus in betrayal and anger at the Autobot that he once respected

“That's what we've been trying to tell you!” cried out Jetfire in frustration “But you wouldn't listen, would you?”

Optimus looked down in shame. It was true he didn't listen to the twins, Blurr, and even Jazz about Ultra Magnus, however this time he would listen. Ultra Magnus broke his trust and he wouldn't let him get away with this meanwhile Ultra Magnus was still attempting to justify himself.

“You all need to understand it wasn't an easy decision and sacrifices have to be made” shouted Ultra Magnus while everyone deadly glares at him

“Then tel me this Sir, what could be more variable than the lives of two Autobots!” shouted Optimus optics filled with fires “Tell me”

Ultra Magnus fell into silence once more; however , that was all the answer that Optimus needed; he got up from the jury bench and approached Sentinel and used his axe to destroy the static cuffs on the blue prime sevros, making everyone gasp.

“Jazz is right, Sentinel shouldn't be on trial, it should be you..” Optimus turns around to point his axe at Ultra Magnus's faceplate on the monitor with shaky servos “Y-you not the leader I thought you were”

Ultra Magnus looked on at Optimus in betrayal as he stood by Sentinel's side while questions from the media grew louder and the Aerialbots joined in wondering if the leader of the Autobots even cared about flyers

Ultra Magnus attempted to silence all of them with his booming voice, however, it seemed so small compared to the number of flashes from cameras and the pile of voices denouncing his name as Optimus with his crew, the Elite Guard, the Aerialbots, and the media stomping close to him.

This inspired Skyfire to speak up catching everyone’s attention as the biggest mech stomp closer.

“That's not your leader and Alpha Trion's only crime “ Spoked up Skyfire with sevros behind his back.

“Wait, who are you?” questioned Sentinel, narrowing his optics at the unfamiliar winged Cybertronian. “I don't remember you being in my unit”

“I’m Skyfire neither Autobots o nor Decepticon“ Spoked Skyfire “I want to join the Autobots with my..my friends..only to be shot down and arrested on-site... I. was the only one who survived “

Everyone gasped in dread at Skyfire’s story as outrage spread across the council hall and the media began calling Ultra Magnus worse than Megatron all questioning whether he should be trusted.

In a panic, Ultra Magnus quickly silences all of them by ordering in guards to hold the upcoming crowd back, creating a struggle.

Ultra Magnus quickly progressed with the trial as if it was normal while everyone else screamed, demanding to be let go. Others yell curses and threats at Ultra Magnus’s faceplate.

“That's enough! Sentinel for the crime of assault against the leader of Autobots I shall take away your rank and banish you from Cybertron for a million cycles” announced Ultra Magnus sending gasps across the room. “And the same will happen to the rest of you if you don't behave!”

“Wait! Hold on, you..you just can't do that! They didn't do anything illegal “ pointed out Sentinel pissed that Ultra Magnus dragged everyone down with what was supposed to be his punishment.

“I do what is necessary to make sure that none of you fall like the Decepticons “ shouted Ultra Magnus “For now you all dismissed” Ultra Magnus's faceplate disappeared from the screen leaving the room in a wind wrial of bitter whispers and rumors.

The guards soon escorted everyone outside of the council hall and returned to their position leaving an air of distrust among the autobots. However Sentinel isn't focused on that, he is trying to figure out where he was supposed to go after this and the fate of the Aerialbots without a leader. Optimus noticed this and approached the blue prime once more.

“Hey look, Sentinel...I’m sorry about what happened back there but l if you want you could come back to Earth with us “ offered Optimus “From there we can find a way to deal with Ultra Magnus”

Sentinel didn't know whether to feel touched or disgusted at this gesture from Optimus since on the one hand he genuinely had no idea where to go yet on the other hand he hated that planet however at this rate he never felt so low in his life that he consider that he might deserve this after broke Elita One’s vow, he might of will lose everything else at this point.

So Sentinel didn't respond; he could only take sharp intakes of breaths feeling that he lost all purpose with the twins, Optimus and Jazz being the only thing left that stopped him from going to the deep end. His pride was completely shattered leaving nothing other than a shell of his former self.

“I-i.. my rank again..I lost..the Aerialbots..I lost.. “ Inhaled Sentinel. ‘ I..I.huh needed to speak to my unit and do a few other things real quick”

“Wait What other things “ questioned Optimus a bit corcen at this after seeing everything that Sentinel went through.

“I'm just going to say goodbye to an old friend that all” gurgled Sentinel “and to my.. unit.”

This strikes Optimus's spark since he immediately knows that Sentinel is talking about Elita's memorial. Once again Optimus wondered if he should tell Sentinel about Blackarahina or not yet he once again decided not to due to the state the blue prime was in so he decided to let Sentinel do his thing.

Sentinel went up to the Aerialbots wishing them goodbye and placing Powerglide in charge. He wanted to do a full-on ceremony for Powerglide’s promotion; however , a sudden vision of a corpse of Elita appeared in front of Sentinel, staring at him in disappointment, making him grab his helm in pain as the vision faded away.

“I-I have to go now !” yelped Sentinel running passed the Aerialbots and outside of the Fortress Maximus leaving the Arerialbots bewildered while Optimus, twins, Blurr and Jazz were concerned

“We better check on him “ suggested Optimus

Jazz nodded and once again they all went after Sentinel, this time they didn't lose him as they entered the academy following all the way towards Elita One’s memorial where Blue Prime began speaking to it.

“Elita..I know..you don't care anymore but..I'm going to that organic planet again but.. I..may never come here again..so this is-” Sentinel cut himself off a bunch a lot as he struggled to say goodbye to her feelings, his body shaking around in sadness.

Optimus decided to step up and place a comforting servo on Sentinel's shoulder joined by Jetfire, Jetstorm, and the rest of the Elite Guard silently.

Sentinel took a deep breath as felt the comfort of those around before gathering himself together enough to finish his sentence.

“I- goodbye Elita “choked Sentinel, completely breaking down in front of her memorial while the Elite Guard and Optimus stood by his side

Despite saying goodbye to Elita Ons, Sentinel wasn't over her, in his spark he still missed her and now he may never be able to see her memory again due to his banishment and it broke his spark that he could possibly never visit her memorial leaving it to rust on Cybertron without his care.

What happened after saying goodbye to Elita One. Everything was all a blur to him as the only thing he could remember was packing his stuff up and walking towards Steelhaven to head towards Earth once leaving Cybertion with rising tension against Ultra Magnus as Sentinel heard the distorted voices of bots denouncing him on streets and saw distorted bots burning down posters of the once beloved Magnus.

Once they were off Cybertron the distortion didn't go away for Sentinel. Instead, the yelling of voices denouncing Ultra Magnus's name was replaced with Optimus, Bulkhead, Ratchet and Jazz in their own conversation that he could barely hear as Sentinel wandered around the hallways of the ship aimlessly.

However, he blocked out all the voices as he couldn't help but feel as if he was still sinking into that pool of darkness that he kept dragging himself downward in at any moment he could drown as began thinking about what was the point of building anything if it was just going to get lost or never seen again.

After all: he tried to capture Wasp only for him to end up being innocent he ends up still hurting him, and he bonded with Jetfire and Jetstorm yet he almost ends up losing them, he created the Aerialbots and now he is no longer their leader and at this point he wanted to stop destroying everything that he built yet he didn't know how or if he can stop.

As was about to sink further in his dark thoughts when Jetstorm noticed Sentinel in this state and reached out and held the Blue Prime’a servo finally deciding that it was time to tell Sentinel about his and his brother's original sire even if it was painful to talk about.

“You know..me and my brother know what it's like losing someone “ muttered Jetstorm in a low whisper

“Y- you do” questioned Sentinel off guard by this.

“Yes.. our first sire..” gulped Jetstorm “he got offline in.. a factory incident”

“I-i wow didn't know “ gulped Sentinel looking down at the floor feeling the twins sense of lost hit him like a truck

“well we didn't know how.. to tell you“ sighed Jetstorm “it'-it just always painful to talk about it”

“I-i.. ugh..yeah get it but what I don't get Is that how you guys can... move that quickly “ uttered Sentinel still staring at the ground.

“W-we haven't.. but now..we know for sure that we have you by our side so if you ever.. you know want to talk about it more we are here “ sighed Jetstorm “Just please don't run off like that again...we are worried about you”

Sentinel fell into silence at this wondering if he should keep talking about Elita One since on hand the first time was extremely painful when he shared his pain with others since he was in such a vulnerable state however at the same time he did feel a sense of relief letting it all out.

He wasn't sure he was going to keep talking about Elita One to the twins or anybody else for that matter yet he did know one thing despite losing everything he still had the twins by his side along with Jazz and Blurr however he didn't know how long he had until he ended up losing it all again.

He didn't want to live this life anymore, he wanted to find a way to keep what he had left without destroying it yet he didn't know how.

He didn't know how to stop hurting people, the worst of himself getting the better of him. The only thing he could think to do was to apologize to Jazz for pushing him earlier and perhaps thank Optimus for.. offering a place for him to stay.

He eventually found the white mech himself who was leaning against the corner away from everyone else with his arms crossed. So with a deep breath, Sentinel begins his apology.

Afterward he didn't know what to do his hard drive was still sinking deeper inside the swirling void of darkness flashing visions of the disappointment Elita in front of him as he walked through the wall of Steelhaven looking for either Jazz and Optimus .

“Hey huh Jazz sorry for..you know pushing you” apologized Sentinel

“Hey it ok-” Sentinel cut Jazz off with a guilty filled hiss.

“No, it's not...I’m going to make sure that never going to fragging happen again..got it “ sighed Sentinel.

“I’m.. are you ok..man “ questioned Jazz “It seems like you're going through it and I would know.. I went through it too”

“I-i- I look all you need to know that it won't happen again “ gulped Sentinel avoiding the question “I promise..now if you don't mind I have to talk to Optimus”

Sentinel quickly left while Jazz tried to reach for him, however, Sentinel ignored it as he went over to find Optimus passing many halls until he found the red prime talking to Bulkhead inside one of the guest rooms of Steelhaven.

“Aw man still can't believe my buddy is still in prison and we still don't have enough to get him out, what are we going to tell Sari “spoke Bulkhead fidgeting with his giant dirlets

“I’m sure we figured something out and Sari will be fine “ replied Optimus

“But Optimus they are best friends, she going be heartbroken that we left him behind “ gurgled Bulkhead.

Optimus remained calm for most of the conversation yet Bulkhead saying that they left behind Bumblebee reminded him of leaving Elita behind which snapped him into anger.

“We didn't leave him behind!” Piped up Optimus angrily “I..ugh….!!”

Optimus took a deep annoyed goon before turning to the left to see that Sentinel was standing in the doorway.

“Hey Optimus..if you not .huh busy..with huh whatever this is .. can we talk in the hallway for a second “ asked Sentinel feeling a bit weird seeing Optimus snap like that

Optimus sighed again before excusing Bulkhead and entering the hallway with Sentinel where they can have a quiet conversation in a corner.

“huh Optimus appreciate what you did back there at the trial “ thanked Sentinel genuinely before almost ruining it “Even I'm not the biggest fan of..of your organic roc-i mean Earth”

“Well Sentinel I know you aren't exactly the biggest fan of Earth but I couldn't exactly let you be sent anywhere you know “ sighed Optimus a bit annoyed at Sentinel's accidental backhanded thank you since he was still railed up with his conversation with Bulkhead

“I know but- Wait! I didn't mean to say that like that what I mean is that I-i huh I'm grateful really...I mean it…thank you “ corrected Sentinel “and I..try to..tolerated-no I mean huh...I try to make the best of it you know..huh being on Earth and all that“

“I-huh you’re welcome, is that 's all you want to talk about” asked Optimus.

Originally Sentinel was just going to leave it there; however he can't help but think of all the disgusting organics on that planet that might be a danger to himself and his team.

“There aren't any dangerous organics on that planet of yours right?” questioned Sentinel with a viable look of disgust on his faceplate.

“Seriously Sentinel, you ok with jets but you are still against organics?” groaned Optimus “They aren't all bad Sentinel..”

“What I'm just checking just in case... I don't want this to end up like last time “ huffed Sentinel defensively “When you know we lost her.. so tell me if there anything that we have to worry about”

Optimus's spark sank at this knowing that Sentinel was talking about Elita One once again and once more Optimus was faced at the crossroads of whether to tell him about Blackarahina since on the one hand she was a threat yet on the other hand he still believed that they were good in her yet Optimus was sure if Sentinel would see that so once again he decided not to tell him about her believing it was for the better.

“No there isn't” somewhat lied Optimus “You have my word”

“Are You sure?” questioned Sentinel narrowing his optics

“I'm sure “ nodded Optimus digging himself deeper into this somewhat lie

Sentinel wanted to ask Optimus if he was sure again until a vision of a corpse of Elita floating above him made him grab his helm in pain as he realized that he needed to lay down since it had been a long day.

“ugh, I- Right..then if you.... don't mind I think...I'm going to rest in my quarters real quick “ sighed Sentinel grabbing the pain in his helm with his servo before disappearing into a hallway to head over to his quarters

While walking through the hallway, Sentinel spotted something unexpected: Blurr in front of an airlock door, staring at it blankly, making Sentinel raise his non-existent eyebrow in dread and concern.

“Blurr what are you doing?” asked Sentinel, placing a servo on Blurr's shoulder.

Blurr jumped in surprise seeing Sentinel right behind him yet the blue speedler quickly compared himself as he turned around to directly face the blue prime.

“Oh Sentinel..look it's just… I know you say there might be more to life than just a name and Jazz says that I'm useful but..the all spark itself didn't want to bring back my speed” uttered Blurr looking down at the floor optics filled with external dread.

“And honestly that's hurt more than anything else and I can't help but wonder if the all spark even wants me here in the first place” Blurr clutched his arms as body began to shake with an aura of hopelessness.

Sentinel couldn't help to feel the same way as Blurr not knowing what to do with himself after everything that happened however couldn't help but feel angry at the all spark after this was the very thing that rumors to heal the deepest wounds in the universe, how could it not heal Blurr, it was ridiculous to him.

“Wait, what do you mean the all spark couldn't heal you, isn't that one of the things that you know it is supposed to do?’ Questioned Sentinel with narrowed optics

“It just didn't work, I guess I'm.. not worthy of it” sighed Blurr

This railed up Sentinel since he spent two years getting to know Blurr well enough that he knows that Blurr is a decent mech that helps him with setting up the Aerialbots so Blurr getting rejected by the all spark was blood boiling to Sentinel

“You want to know what I think” asked Sentinel his faceplate twisting into rage

“I-huh sure “ shrugged Blurr feeling like have nothing else to lose.

“That the all spark passed up a good bot for no reason at all ” huffed Sentinel “You huh..you know a..a decent bot Blurr and if the all spark can't see that then it might of well get lost again “

Blurr gasped at Sentinel saying that the all spark should get lost again yet he couldn't help but be extremely touched by this.

“I- wow.. thanks... you know I am still trying to figure things out, it's just that things just…keep getting.. crazier and not sure it will ever stop “sighed Blur sitting down on the floor “It's like I'm trapped in that landfill all over again with no around…”

“and nowhere to go ” added Sentinel, sitting next to him with his helm leaning on Blurr's shoulder.

“I-you get it don't you” uttered Blurr feeling more bonded to Sentinel.

“In a way I guess I do” sighed Sentinel back to Blurr

For a moment they sat there in silence yet it was a comfortable one filled with understanding between the two mechs as they leaned on each other's shoulders.

“Hey when we get to earth maybe we can figure out things together “ suggested Blurr

“Wait, you're not going back to Cybertron after this?” asked Sentinel, taken back by this “you're coming with me?”

“Yes, I actually rather be with a friend right now than on Cybertron alone” uttered putting a servo on top of Sentinel's servo “So what do you say..you,me the twins on Earth.. Jazz can be too.. So you know..and we can figure whatever this..out”

Sentinel was hesitant to take this offer at first since he didn’t want to somehow destroy his bond with Blurr like he nearly did with Jetfire and Jetstorm after all so far the only one that he hasn't hurt yet was Blurr and he wanted to keep that record however, at the same time: it felt nice in a way to connect with somebody else with a similar pain of feeling trapped in an endless void of darkness and to talk about it

“I ..huh.. think about it ” gurgled Sentinel finding himself holding Blurr's servo.

Blurr smiled a little at Sentinel holding his servo and for a while they sat there until it was getting late so Blurr offered to take Sentinel back to his quarters, walking him all the way there until they reached the doorway.

“Well, goodnight Sentinel” breathed Blurr hesitantly letting go of his sevro as he took a step back away from the blue prime.

“wait- “ yelped out Sentinel looking a bit embarrassed as he gently grabbed Blurr's servo back “Huh..why don't you stay in my quarters..you know just for tonight “

“I- really” blushed Blurr rubbing his sevro behind his helm.

“I mean.. huh if you want “ gulped Sentinel, pulling away a little bit.

Blurr nodded with a weak smile before entering Sentinel quarters where the blue prime made room for the blue speeder on the berth.

It was a bit awkward considering Sentinel had to adjust his wings a bit to make room yet eventually they were able to find a comfortable position for both of them. on the berth before eventually falling asleep together.

During their slumber, Sentinel has brief flashes of the spiders from Acha Seven appearing in his dream making him breathe heavily as his faceplate succumbed in fear seeing those monsters eat Elita over and over again in front of him unable to do anything about it while a voice over of Elita herself call him “unless”

Sentinel wasn't the only one having a nightmare next to him Blurr was muttering “no” under his breath as he dreamed about the faceplate of bots that he knew abandoning tossing him inside of a garbage chute calling him purposeless to the autobots over and over again

This was a typical nightmare for Sentinel and Blurr. However, this time was different: Blurr's warmth next to the blue prime eased the nightmare as the blue speeder found himself clutching to Sentinel's body for comfort while in his sleep.

This didn't fully get rid of the visions although it did soothe them enough for the Sentinel to get a good night's rest that perhaps tomorrow will come a better day and maybe just maybe being stuck on earth may not be the worst thing in the universe.

Stay tuned, more to come in this little in progress TFA fancomic of mine. In this Starscream's found himself turned into a weak little organic human and his survival depends on the help of his ex-husband, Skyfire and one of his enemies in wartime, the Autobot fighter pilot Powerglide. Starscream finds it inconvenient and annoying they've gotten together, but he's also just glad Skyfire is somewhat talking to him again after what Starscream sees as a disagreement. Btw this Starscream's design was one of Derrick J Wyatt's unused designs for the episode, I think he looks like his VA, Tom Kenny. X3
