one of the more interesting things i've found is that people think that in TFP Seekers actually look like starscream and they don't.
Starscream mentioned that he originally looked liked this:
And in RID, that's what he changes back into.
Seekers in the Aligned continuity/tfp look like this mostly:
and in the games, what TFP's story line follows , this is Starscream's form:
Seekers tend to be rather big, bulky and clunky and Starscream himself actually looks more like the Seeker twins.
Meaning that this starscream:
is a COMPLETE SELF MODIFICATION. Meaning he went out of his way to look like this because that is not how he or any other seekers look and being a seeker this form is actually so impractical for military sieges and taking hard hits. But the interesting thing is he is still so durable in this frame type.
but i just always find it interesting when people think that this is how seekers actually looks in tfp when Starscream just went and got his frame completely reformatted to look this way.
still thinkin' about how Starscream's first act after leaving Megatron for dead and becoming leader of the Decepticons was to throw a big party and sexy-dance while the Vehicons were all cheering for him and chanting his name
kinda fucks me up to know that the first among anakin's immediate friends and family to realize he'd become a danger to them was threepio. like what about anakin triggered his threat sensors? was it the way he moved? the expression on his face? what about the youngling slaughter clung to him? how could a droid sense the dark side when those who love him couldn't see it?
