Also consider
Timeline where Megs doesn't wake up (sorry babygirl, but I need you out of the way for this) and Starscream stays / is in command of the decepticons with Soundwave as essentially the SIC and Knockout as essentially the TIC

How would their interactions with the bots and human settlements change, the decisions, the artifact hunt, would Unicron try to wake up again or no, the status of the war, what all would change? I've only read a few fics where this happened but they focused more on say shipping. And while I'm very loud about having fun shipping and letting the robots have hot and nasty sex, I'm thinking about this with my head this time.
#maccadam#transformers#tfp megatron#tfp starscream#tfp soundwave#tfp unicron#like#it would be fascinating to see Starscream truly settle down into power again#because in aligned we knew he was a independent and successful general for a long time before he became Megatron's SIC#(perhaps he was also a scientist too_ we shall never know /j) i will never forget that one tfwiki line I'm sorry#based on what i saw in tfp this would be thoroughly a disadvantage against the autobots#Megatron's obsessions and tendency to prioritize them were ultimately speaking his downfall#and while i loved her rid design it does not take a genius to realize her ending is super fucking sad#so i might as well call this au ''Starscream gets what she wants for once'' or some shit#megatron might generally be my favorite character but I'm not blind to the canon dynamic between the two#and while i usually like to just. omit it from my aus I'm tempted to just up and give tfp Star his power for once
