Too late, the baby is crawling in here too! | @notafraid-ofyou

Eugh, it's warm and wet and disgusting. It's already his.

He's just going to let it chew on his fingers like all the other hatchlings hiding under his plating.

verse [ ENOUGH AFFECTION ]

Earthspark. Main Verse. The tiger. He destroyed his cage. Yes. YES. The tiger is out!

verse [ FUCK THIS SHIT I’M OUT ]

IDW (2005 Reboot). Main Verse. Tired of everyone undermining his authority during his reign, Starscream quit quite gloriously and is now being the most annoying nuisance to the government you’ve ever seen, while taking a “well-deserved” vacation.

verse [ THERAPY BABY! ]

Cyberverse. Main Verse. Get this boy some therapy, ASAP! Teletran-X tried, but coupled with Starscream’s conniving nature and Teletran’s overly trusting one, it wasn’t a great match. Looks like the Autobots will have to try a bit harder to rehabilitate Starscream properly.

verse [ BIRDFATHER ]

Tyran/Bayverse. Main Verse. Post DotM, Starscream is found by Ratchet thanks to thescraplets young Cybertronians he’d stuffed under his armor before the battle for Chicago. He has little to no visual feed and heavily relies on his electro-magnetic field to observe his surroundings.

verse [ FORTUNATELY UNFORTUNATE ]

Aligned. Post-Predacons Rising, Starscream survives the Predacons’ attack and ends up seething with the Autobots. He’s not sure how he got here, but he’s mad about it.

verse [ ONE BOTS TRASH ]

Aligned. Crack. Trash King Starscream ruling over his trash mountain in the rubble of Six Lasers Over Cybertron

verse [ WHEN ARE WE AGAIN ]

Aligned. A Starscream of many whens, each ‘death’ displaces him to a backwards point in the timeline. 

verse [ UNEASY IS THE HELM ]

IDW (2005 Reboot). Starscream’s in charge of Cybertron, to everyone’s chagrin. He’s surprisingly not bad at it, if a bit self-sabotaging. 

verse [ RANDOM UPDATES FROM THE VOID ]

Beast Wars. Crack. Just a spark, frothing with rage as it zooms through space.

verse; Tyran/Bay, post Dark of the Moon

Following the Battle of Chicago, Starscream was recovered by Ratchet, who found him on the brink of death. Accompanying him were many hatchlings, which were nestled close to his frame and energon lines and remained vastly unaffected by the explosion that had nearly sent Starscream to the Well.

With Ratchet’s medical knowledge, Starscream was able to resume full mobility and 85% of his original processing power, but his optics could not be so easily salvaged. As ever, Ratchet did what he could, but Starscream’s visibility remains low at best. Fortunately, Seekers rarely rely on optic-encrypted, light-based sight while in alt-mode; instead, they make better use of infrared scanners, long-range sensitivity, altitude control, etc, to perform flight-based maneuvers.

The drawbacks are mostly cited whilst in bipedal mode; Starscream’s light perception is abysmal, and while he can easily gauge distance from objects and the locations of other mecha and beings from his systems, he is no longer attuned to subtle changes, such as facial expressions, body language, nor is he able to easily perceive light or color-based changes to the world around him. To make up for conversational short-comings with other mecha, Starscream relies heavily on his electro-magnetic field to sense changes in mood and behavior – much like a regular Cybertronian, but with his field now at the forefront of his processors rather than an idle background program.

Another side effect of the damage to his helm is memory loss, which is usually evident when his processors randomly dump any stored information. Starscream is left motionless and often confused, with little recollection as to what he was doing before the memory dump. The severity ranges from forgetting how to operate a simple diagnostic program to sometimes entirely forgetting who he is, though the latter is very, very rare. Instances of memory loss occur with less and less frequency, as his processors reconstruct themselves around the damaged parts.

He can't see your disapproval, Megatron. Shoo, scram.

Watching in the most metaphorical sense as Megatron fucks this one up. He's a brooding hen don't get it near him or it's already his.
