#I like to imagine his body had to become bulkier to account for the different vehicle mode

I finished my Starscream designs for my Steven Universe inspired Transformers Au :D (Tap image for better resolution)

So I wanted Starscream to take the place (loosely) of Peridot in the AU, which you could probably tell if you noticed the poses I used (they are poses of Peridot from the beginning and end of the series)

These honestly were so fun tho, because for the second design I used an actual Lamborghini reference to map out Starscream’s robot mode. The first was kinda hard tho because I didn’t want it to look like he had an Earth Alt Mode, but I think it ended up pretty much looking like that lol

But if you’re wondering why I designed this Starscream with two different Alt Modes: In this Au, Starscream accidentally lost his wings after being captured by the Autobots (to mimic Peridot losing her limb enhancers) and to combat this (later on when he officially became an Autobot), he decided to become a grounder, because without wings his seeker alt mode was pretty much useless (I did this to mimic Peridot having metal powers).

This is a very simple explanation for it, and there will be a LOT more heartbreak when I actually get to that point in the story, but I felt like I had to get the plot out of my mind! Especially since I’m only on the second chapter of my fic and still have a long way until Starscream even shows up lmao

BUT HERE HE IS. AU STARSCREAM WOO. Ignore the visible hand on the Right Starscream. I got annoyed and ended up just leaving it super simplified lmao
