#starscream is hard to impress

[zsocca55]

One of my readers said they like my War Paint art and would like to see more so I’m here to provide….🤭

This time it’s Halo and Starscream! Halo is trying to impress as always…XD

(Is she succeeding though?)

[velvetwyrme]

which deception would have an sti AND fuck cars?

in reference to: https://www.tumblr.com/penny-anna/767952128217104384/imagine-youre-a-mechanic-in-the-transformers?source=share

okay. so. first off. anon, thank you for sending me this because the idea that you read that post and just went- "hey, you know who i should pose this question to?" and sent it to me- is hysterical and i lvoe u.

anyway theres also a Texty answer under the cut if you want to read that, because i genuinely DO have thoughts about this, but i wanted to draw that comic because this ask made me laugh very hard when i saw it in my inbox.

also, the thrilling conclusion of the comic answer:

he fucked that car!!!!!!!

hi! Texty time. I think a lot of them would have/be one but not the other (either has a STI or is a Carfucker) but i included some of those here anyway because i think my thought process was funny for some of them. this is all purely my own opinions etc. etc. no basis for anything only vibes. i went through a lot of options and came to a lot of conclusions.

to reiterate the Chart for claritys sake:

Soundwave: No STI and no Carfucking. This is true across all versions of Soundwave imo. Rumble and Frenzy are a solid no on the STI front and a solid yes on the Carfucking.

Starscream: no STI, no Carfucking (despite what Soundwave thinks). TFP!Starscream specifically might have an STI though. Sorry man. Skywarp definitely has/had a STI but gets it treated on account of his trinemates. No Carfucking. Thundercracker would fuck a car but doesn't have an STI.

Shockwave: ??? - I'm not sure I want to know. "Once, as part of an experiment" was the original thing I wrote for his answer lol. True across continuities as well.

Anyway. moving on...

My actual answer for Megatron: REALLY depends on continuity. Here's a sample:

G1? Yeah, probably both. I can see it.

IDW/MTMTE? Nah. Maybe? ... Nah. I feel like if he had an STI it'd have been back when he was a miner. Would not fuck a car.

Earthspark? I feel like no STI but yes to the Carfucking. Except he feels really guilty about it after. I still haven't watched ES but this is the impression I get from him.

TFA? oh god. i don't know... i don't know....... he probably fucks cars. No STI.

TFP? Yeah absolutely are u kidding me? Yes to both.

Constructicons: I feel like they'd be a yes to both, but not at the same time, so they wouldn't have been the one/s to transmit a STI to a car. Also Hook would be ON TOP of treatment. Once they ALL got infected after combining into Devastator, and that was miserable for everyone. Nobody has fessed up to being the one who had it in the first place, but now they have treatment on hand just in case.

Also while on the topic of combiners... I think some of the Stunticons are also pretty good candidates for STI/Carfucking. Motormaster, Drag Strip and Wildrider in particular shfkgbekfbk

I considered Tarn/The DJD and Overlord just because of how freaky them guys can get, but I think Tarn runs too tight a ship for that to happen, and Overlord is preoccupied with. worse things. The Scavengers on the other hand... sorry to Misfire, I can see him giving a car a STI. Relatedly, Grimlock would fuck a car but not have an STI.

Who else................................ wait.

Astrotrain. I can see it. Okay bye im going to sleep this took me too long to reply to fhfjfbrmfbdj

[revelboo]

I'm going to crown you queen of cliffhangers, here you go 👑

Starscream would just steal it. Driving back to the real world today, so no posts until later in the evening

Everything Is Alright Pt 87

IDW Starscream x Reader, Soundwave x Reader, Megatron x Reader

• Servos curled loosely about you so you stay put, Megatron scrolls through reports. Aware of your sullen silence after he’d laughed at you. Realizing the Seeker’s really convinced you that he loves you even though Starscream only loves Starscream. He almost pities you, because that look on your face has made it obvious you love him in return. Even after he’d told you what Starscream was capable of, you’re still loyal to him and that’s impressive in a way. Optics flicking down when you lean into his servos again, shivering. Figured out you were cold some time ago, but also much too proud to accept help from him if he offered it. You’re warm against him, he can feel the beat of your little heart and it’s unsettling. This helpless, little thing in his hand.

• Sneaking a glance at his face to make sure he’s still scrolling, because you feel guilty about leaning into his warmth. Like it’s a betrayal. You don’t like him, but he’s warm. That’s all. The silence between you had gone past uncomfortable some time ago. Know you’re supposed to be talking to him, trying to endear yourself to him for safety, but when you’d slipped up and said the L word and he’d laughed, you’d been too angry to try. Because it hadn’t been a mocking laugh, it was genuine. Like the idea of Star caring for anyone is hilarious. “For a murderous warlord, you’re pretty boring,” you mutter, immediately cringing as he glances at you.

• “Would you prefer I raze a town or two?” He growls at you, amused when you scowl. “I suppose I could make a show of force,” he begins and you twist toward him, a little hand grabbing his servo and a quick ‘no.’ Frightened eyes stare up at him, your fear much less entertaining than he’d expected. Why are your expressions so Cybertronian? So easy to read? Venting, he shifts his servo until you pull your hand away. “Then don’t complain.”

• “Boring’s good. I like boring,” you say, heart still racing. Had he been serious? You’re not sure as one corner of his mouth twists slightly like it might have been a joke. In horribly poor taste. Then he reaches up a servo and touches your head, absently patting you like a favorite pet that did a cute trick as he continues scrolling. Which part of what you’d said had he liked? Which part of his amusement can you exploit?

• It takes longer than Starscream expects to dig through the archives of Shockwave’s meticulous, excessive notes. Chasing a rumor he’d overheard decades ago about how this world was seeded with energon. Knows the scientist was experimenting with different varieties of energon, most too unstable to be feasible. Long term anyway. There. A note with coordinates for where an Ore-13 that had proved toxic to the volunteers that had used it, but had increased their strength exponentially, was seeded. Even if it had eventually killed them from repeated use. But he only needs to use it once. One time to end Megatron. To protect you.

• Can’t monitor the Seeker all the time and he knows it, but it’s hard when Soundwave knows how desperate Starscream is. Entering the bridge, his shoulders ease at the sound of your soft voice and a rumbling reply from Megatron. Because you’re talking to each other and he has to believe it’s a good thing. Needs Megatron to see you for you to be safe. Even if you and Star both hate it. Megatron notices him first and the almost teasing curve of his lips flattens out. Serious again even as you stand up to lift a hand in greeting and Megatron shifts his servos around you as if to keep you from falling. A small thing, but one that gives him hope. “Reports on Autobot activity,” he says.

• Watching Soundwave hand over a datapad, you’re almost tempted to reach up your arms like a little kid demanding to be picked up. Especially when his head lowers to stare at you like he knows. You think he might reach out a servo at least, touch your hair or arm, but he doesn’t do that either. So you sit back down. Almost embarrassed that you’d been picking at the warlord and actually enjoying his retorts. Hating that he has a sense of humor. That little, guarded half smile. He’s all business now, though and you wonder if there’s anyone here he can joke with, smile with. Or if he’s like Star and trusts no one. Hating that the thought bothers you that they’re all alone together.

┗ They're Mine; TFA! Cons × GN! S/O ┛

Characters: Megatron, Starscream, and Shockwave (Transformers Animated) *characters aren't shipped together A/N: This was actually fun to write, I made the idea while ago but never had any energy to write it out. Thank goodness I did, though. I love this, by far one of my most enjoyable pieces to write. ⇘ Summary: After returning from a mission with Shockwave on Cybertron, you attract the attention of Lord Megatron and his second-in-command, Starscream. But, after becoming more comfortable around the Decepticon team, they're shocked by the realization of your status with your spy-partner.

┍━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┑

┕━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┙

👑💫 Having one of these mechs on your aft is hard enough. But having both of them? Oh, I feel bad for you.

👑 Megatron doesn't hesitate to show his disdain for any of his fellow Cybertronians, or really anything in general. But, because of this quality, it's easy to tell when you likes you around. Examples of this is Shockwave.

💫 Starscream on the other hand is the exact opposite. He never really shows he likes anyone. Probably because he doesn't, but I regress.

👑💫 However, when you came around, these two changed their actions almost fully. They're still just as unstable as before, but they do try to tone it down when you're nearby. Starscream does this better than the anger-issues having warlord.

👑💫 You were terrified when you met the warlord. You may have been a Decepticon who followed him for many years through the war back home, but actually seeing him face-to-face was totally different.

🧪 During Shockwave's time on Cybertron, you were right by his side. You managed a lot of the background parts, you made sure there were records of a Longarm and Hillcrest being created and being raised on the planet. Longarm being Shockwave's alias and Hillcrest being yours.

👑🧪 When you both were revealed as traitors, you fled to Lord Megatron as quickly as possible. He wasn't happy you both failed, but the way you somehow managed to go that long and get quite a bit of information, did please him.

👑🧪 You stared up at the mech as he looked blankly at you. Shockwave looked back at you with his singular optic, before motioning for you to come closer to him. He wrapped an arm around your shoulders and introduced you to your shared boss.

"Lord Megatron, I am pleased to introduce you to Y/N. They've been my right-hand during my time on Cybertron. Their knowledge almost surpasses my own, it's quite jarring."

"My Lord." You bowed, nervously staring at the ground as Megatron stared down at you.

"Rise." He demanded, to which you obliged and looked at him with slightly-widened optics.

"So," he began circling around you as he spoke. "You're the infamous Hillcrest Prime, leader of the Cybertronian Defense. Impressive work weakening their defenses on the inside without Ultra Magnus discovering."

"I-uh, thank you, my Lord. Though, Shockwave did do quite a bit of work himself with that." You chuckled.

"Oh, I'm sure he did." He purred, making your cheeks flare with a slight blue tint.

💫 Your first time meeting Starscream was far different. You actually knew him from before the war. He was one of your best friends as you aged. Starscream enjoyed being around you because you helped feed into his ever-growing ego.

💫 He always said you were adorable when you were young, but seeing you and how you aged was shocking. You stood alongside Shockwave, trying to put a few things together before Lugnut began to spout off about Megatron once again.

💫 You looked at Lugnut and blinked annoyingly, a scowl on your face as he kept rambling. He was pissing you off and both Starscream and Shockwave knew this, but didn't bother trying to stop you. They both understood your anger far to well.

"Lugnut. Please be quiet. Shockwave and I must continue our research into the ship and getting information out of Arcee."

"Are you saying you don't want to hear about our glorious leader, Lord Megatron?! How dare you insult him in such a menner?! Why-"

💫 Your optic twitched as you, without hesitation, stomped on Lugnut's ped, kicked him on the side of his face, and pushed him out of the room.

"And if you don't want to listen, stay out!" You yelled, slamming the doors shut.

👑 Megatron heard the noise and went to the room, only to find Lugnut pouting outside of the room.

"Lugnut? What caused that loud boom?" Megatron asked.

👑 The green and purple Decepticon stood up abruptly and bowed to the stoic mech before telling him the story. Only for you to yell back that you heard him and he should stop acting like a sparkling unless he wanted you to come out and throw him out the nearest exit.

👑 Megatron was slightly surprised. When you first arrived, you were on the shy-side, not really speaking unless necessary. But, perhaps that was how Hillcrest acted around people of authority and not Y/N? Most likely.

👑💫 Megatron entered and looked at Starscream, only to see the mech talking to you like he knew you for eons. Of course he did, but the warlord couldn't give a scrap. His second-in-command really knows how to make Megatron want to cut each cable in his system, doesn't he?

"Y/N, can you grab some supplies from the back?" Shockwave asked.

"...Huh? Oh- yeah. What do you need?"

"Just some lubricants and extra cords." He answered, antennae moving around as you smiled and nodded.

👑💫 Megatron and Starscream glared at one another, but they looked at you as you whipped off your servos and laid a cloth down for Shockwave to do the same later on. Come to think of it, the only Cybertronian they saw you always positively and freely interact with was the scientist...

👑💫🧪 Just as they began to go through the few memories they shared with you in the team, you stepped up slightly and pecked the scientist on the side of his helm. His antennae moved slightly upwards as he leaned his helm on yours for a slight second before you left to grab the materials he wanted.

"Did that just... happen?" Starscream mumbled, Lugnut beside him with his jaw dropped open.

"Uh- Shockwave." Megatron called.

👑💫🧪 Shockwave looked at his leader and hummed, wordlessly asking for the larger mech to continue.

"Are you and Y/N a... couple?" He strained out.

"We started acting lovingly while undercover in Cybertron's ranks, those small actions are practically in our average movements now." He replied.

"That doesn't answer the question!" Starscream yelled, servo balled in a fist as he yelled.

"To sum it up...

They're mine."

Anonymous asked: Hello again! Just wondering if you could do headcannons for tfp Optimus, Starscream and Megatron, with a cybertronian reader who is REALLY tall, like twice their size, but is secretly just a big softy, a total cinnamon roll

[ Please do not repost, plagiarize, or use my writing for AI! Translating my work with proper credit is acceptable, but please ask first! ]

Optimus

After the incident with Makeshift, he's naturally suspicious of you the moment the team receives the distress beacon from some unknown vessel harboring a cybertronian lifeform. Upon meeting you, his suspicions only grow as he learns that you were a low-ranking soldier back on Cybertron. He's unsure whether he's heard your name mentioned amongst the armies he's led, and neither is anyone else on the team all too familiar with you.

Even if you were able to prove your alliance lies with the Autobots, he's hesitant to bring you back to base. If you deceived him, you're not going to be an easy threat to handle, Makeshift proved that when he opened a direct groundbridge to the Nemesis and nearly exposed the team's location. He personally takes it upon himself to monitor and supervise you as you gradually gain their trust. He doesn't leave you for a moment, as he fears that any sliver of neglect on his end will serve as an opportunity for you to possibly betray the team, as was the case before.

However as time progresses, his suspicions are thankfully proven false, and he becomes pleased to see how well you get along with everyone else on the team. He gradually begins to feel as though you "brighten" the room whenever you walk in and start talking with someone, and the rest of the team enjoys having you around. He too shares those sentiments, even if he doesn't personally speak with you much. Rather he enjoys your company whenever he hears the others speaking with you, or whenever you spend time around him.

Starscream

When it comes to being issued commands, it can come off as a little difficult to notice how bossy he is with you. He's normally very commanding, rude, and domineering with everyone, so people usually pass this off as his usual behavior. Yet, if you have a keen enough eye, you'll notice that you're the only one he's treating this way.

Naturally, you'd befriend some vehicons, or at the very least get in their good graces, and they'll spill some gossip to you about him. They say a lot of things about him, and it's a mixed bag of exaggerated lies and half-truths, never just one or the other, or the absolute unadulterated truth at all. It's difficult to get a straight story from any one of them no matter how hard you try, but if you know how to discern truth from lie, you'll be able to chalk up his behavior to his own insecurities and his need to feel superior and in control.

Kindness with him will only get you oh so far, as he'll manipulate your kindness to his advantage, to get you on his side and beneath his heel so to speak. He doesn't truly see your kindness as anything more than a tool. At the very least, he thinks you're easily gullible.

Megatron

His first impression was that for your stature and given your previous experience as a soldier, you would make a very fine addition to his armada indeed! As soon as you stepped aboard and finished the tour, you were put to work in the mines, to guard, supervise, and monitor the vehicon miners there.

Before you arrived, the Autobots had been attacking mines left, right, and center, in due part to a lack of resources, Megatron surmises. As of now, they have only succeeded a handful of times and failed the rest, yet these attacks are still costing them their equipment, resources, and miners. But he expects this to be of little difficulty for you, as you will introduce an unexpected twist to what may come as simple routine to Prime and the other Autobots. They know who to expect, what to expect, as well as how to plan around it, and so they say it is difficult to combat the unexpected.

Additionally, the vehicons were also weary of you at first. They assumed you were simply respectful and obedient to Megatron as any Decepticon naturally is, yet the moment he turned his back, they'd start tip-toeing over eggshells. Yet you proved to be the exact opposite of who they made you out to be, and as such you became a favorite amidst them very quickly. There was no yelling, no unreasonable demands or orders, you treated them like actual people. Though not all of them like you for your kindness, you've become a favorite amidst a majority o them.

Though your personality makes you popular amidst the vehicons, he'd strictly forbid mercy of any kind toward the enemy or any human, given almost any situation. So he expects you to be unforgiving and ruthless in battle, as that is the precedent for any Decepticon warrior worthy of even a sliver of respect. Your kindness would only be a weakness for the enemy to exploit and manipulate to their advantage.

soundwave polycule.........

shockwave, megatron, starscream and optimus prime are put into the same big house, share the same conjunx, and are forced to try and get along.

shockwave HATES optimus, but tolerates him for soundwave's sake.

starscream and megatron mutually dislike each other, get into huge fights, and then fuck about it

megatron pines after optimus in the "god i hate you but i want to fuck you" way. optimus is not impressed. but he does try to befriend megs (again).

honestly optimus only really fucks soundwave. he's monogamous, but wants very much to be friends with everyone soundwave loves.

starscream and shockwave have figured out the art of mutually annoying each other for fun. well, fun on starscreams part. pure spite on shockwaves part.

starscream and optimus are very unlikely BEST FRIENDS. starscream rants to optimus about megatron and shockwave. optimus graciously listens.

megatron and shockwave are also good friends who plug n play on the side. usually its so they can get out frustrations that they feel like they cant share with soundwave (optimus related). soundwave already knows this and is happy that they found comfort in each other.

optimus tries very hard to befriend shockwave. he finds him very interesting and intelligent and desperately just wants to have a conversation with him. soundwave tries to mediate between them. it never works.

soundwave has a deep relationship with each of them. each of them satisfy soundwave in different ways, allowing him to explore different aspects of his personality, interests, and abilities. he loves each of them equally in different ways.

Lessons in Leadership

By: Peace _Through_Empathy (SeekerWingzCG)

Once the guard had settled in at Kaon, Megatron began making plans. He wasn't sure what was going to happen and honestly, he was mildly in panic. It didn't help that he saw his friend die right before his eyes.

The day had been long, but he had had worse. Not emotionally, but physically. His mind kept him busy. He wasn't sure if he could stand being idle after the recent events.

He sat in a throne that his followers forged and tried focusing on his tasks at hand. He had so much planning to do and he kept thinking back on the mistakes he had made. There was no going back now. Sitting and waiting for change never did a thing. He had to reassure himself that he was indeed making the proper decision.

Starscream, after settling in as well, came to him. He was shocked by Megatron's recent behavior to say the least, but he would admit that it impressed him. This miner sure could win a crowd. Not to mention the new feelings that welled up inside of him when that younger and stronger mech’s servos squeezed around his neck.

The simple thought of the incident had his engines begin to warm up. Those large, strong servos. As embarrassing as it was to think about, he truly did want them caressing something else.

“Hello, Starscream. What do you need?” Megatron said, datapad being sat to his side. He, too, had felt a sensation when he held him down. His cannon instinctively revealing itself. It wasn't the only thing that pressurized. What about this got his energon flowing and spark going wild?

Trying to keep calm, he walked closer. Luckily no one was around. Starscream had his chance to speak one-on-one with him, “Well, I'm here to talk about what happened…” Starscream's voice still scratchy and glitchy from the beating he received.

Megatron began to feel the pressure under his panel and chuckled with a smirk, “I have grown sick and tired of being pushed around by authorities. I was simply showing you that I had the power to overthrow this planet.” He said, thinking hard on Starscream's voice. It echoed back his domination over him every time Starscream spoke, his voice a symbol of his growing power.

To Megatron's surprise, Starscream smirked back, “If I may be so bold, and I indeed am, I suggest you learn a thing or two from someone who has been a leader before. You need a few lessons in leadership.”

“So you are coming back for round two? I put you in your place once, don't think I won't do it again.” It was becoming hard to think again and he had never used his interface equipment before, but it was burning with desire.

Starscream was experienced and regardless of if Megatron knew it or not, his vents were humming and his face was darkening, “Actually, that sounds fantastic.”

Megatron heard the difference in his voice and it only turned him on even more. He didn't understand what Starscream wanted exactly, but he wasn't sure what he wanted either, “What are you suggesting, Starscream?”

Starscream laughed out loud, “What else would I be suggesting? I see the way you're looking at me. Don't lie to yourself. You're aroused. I can almost smell it. I do want to talk about what happened. Not because I believe I deserve another beating per se, but I believe you've never, how shall I put this… Have you ever used your interface equipment? You are much younger than I and I propose a lesson or two in learning more about yourself. What makes you tick.”

Megatron sighed and growled a bit under his breath. He was right. Should he allow this or not? He assumed he would let his instincts guide his frame and-

His spike bounced free, throbbing and twitching with the cold bite from the air against it. He hadn't expected that exactly, but began playing along, “Come and show me, then. Teach me what you know about being a leader.”

Starscream smirked, letting free a fanged tooth as he made sure to be as seductive looking as possible. He made his way over and laid each servo on his knee joints. “Eager, aren't we?”

Megatron's venting hitched up and he was beginning to pant heavily. He had been defeated in a way that he had not minded, “I've never overloaded before…” he ex-vented through gritted denta and his hips jerked with anticipation.

Starscream looked up at him and chuckled, “I assumed you were untouched. You miners never get the privacy you're required to explore your frames. You're ready to blow, aren't you? Look at that spike. So drippy and gorgeous. So fresh and new. And it's all mine.”

He had never paid attention to other mechs in the washracks before so he was unsure of his size being adequate but as Starscream marveled at it, he assumed it was enough. Maybe it was far more than enough, “Show me what I'm missi-”

Starscream bounded forward with hunger and a groan and licked up the shaft to the base, passionately. Megatron let out a choking moan as sensation sparked up his spike. These things he had never felt before were causing him to uncontrollably moan and he wished that he could desperately whimper, but he couldn't let his facade slip. Not in front of Starscream. His servo drifted to his mouth as he bit a digit.

Starscream continued to lick and suck the side of his shaft, ridges and nodes being caressed by his glossa’s embrace. He couldn't help but see his digit being bitten and stopped for a moment, “Are you already close, my dear?” He purred, “If you wish to make noise, go right ahead. No one is in the vicinity. Don't be afraid to look weak. Interface brings out the desperation and need in us all. Let it go.”

Megatron couldn't help himself. He grabbed Starscream's helm and whined a pathetic, drawn out whine. His hips arched and said whine evolved into gruff moans, “I-I can't tell if I'm close. I don't know what it feels like.” He sighed and felt the tip of his spike become enveloped by Starscream's lips and his grip on his helm tightened.

Starscream slid himself up and down the tip of Megatron's spike before pulling off, “Oh you'll know. You'll feel like you can't take it anymore and you'll crest over. Your spike will feel a pulsing pleasure better than anything you've ever felt before.”

Megatron groaned and squinted his optics shut. This was wonderful. He felt the pleasure building inside of him and knew exactly what Starscream meant now, “O-Ohh, I am close…” his spike twitched around and before he knew it, Starscream moved down to the hilt, causing Megatron to arch and yelp.

He whimpered and felt his spike begin pulsing. Every sensor lit up and he began shooting a huge load of transfluid down Starscream's throat. “I- I'm overloading! Ah-oooh, frag…”

Starscream swallowed as best as he could, valve fluttering, so swollen against his panels. He pulled off after choking a bit and allowed the hot, pink streams to shoot against his face. He smiled and looked up at him, glossa sticking out and covered in fluids.

Megatron, once more allowed his senses to give way and stood, grabbing Starscream by the arm and pushing him face first into his throne. Megatron was still hard and leaned him over and began rutting against his aft, “Open.”

Starscream moaned and looked over his shoulder at him, “Mmn, make me, Megatron.~”

Megatron pushed him down further and grabbed for a wing, biting it, causing energon to dribble from the puncture points.

Starscream howled as his panels snapped open, “Ooh, yess-! Take me! Oh, do it as hard as you'd like! Hmmm, and keep biting me! Frrr-” Starscream trembled and as if his begging worked, Megatron's spike entered him and he began thrusting immediately.

He could feel the oversensitivity building another fast overload in him as Starscream's pretty plush valve tightened around his unit. He pumped in and out harder and eventually went all the way in. He could feel his spike hitting the back of his valve and almost petting his tip. His spike was in a state of bliss.

Another loud moan left Starscream, “C’mon, bite me again! Please!”

He had completely forgotten about what Starscream wanted while in his state of ecstasy. “Ooh, only because you beg so nicely. Ohh, your valve is so good, Starscream. You will serve me well-”

Starscream whined and felt Megatron begin biting at his wings, speeding his hips pace. His valve was aching with need. In a moment he was going to need it. He was getting close as well.

With a few more thrusts, Megatron felt his own overload building to his tip. The sensitivity caused his control to lessen. The sensitive cables on Starscream's neck were visible so leaning him over further, he grabbed them in his denta like a feral animal, yanking him backwards to hold him in place. He thrusted as quickly and hard as he could, leaving Starscream a whimpering mess underneath him.

The sting on his neck cables and the rough tug caused his overload to rip through him with a relieved, tremble-ridden moan. Fluids shot from his valve and Megatron could feel its tightening grip. All of the stimulation and recognition of his overload caused another overload to burst from Megatron in another fit of groans.

Once they both began to cool down, Starscream grabbed an unsubspaced cloth and cleaned his face, “Well, you did a great job for your first time. I'd love to be your second. Anyway, really, if you need help leading, drop a com request and I will offer my assistance.”

“I will- keep that in mind. Thank you for helping me relieve some tension. I can better focus on my tasks without my needs getting in the way. Come back in a while and we'll talk battle plans. For now, I need to think about the day's events.”

Starscream smirked and nodded. He was definitely telling the rest of the guard about what he had just experienced.

[random-fandom1984]

Hi welcome to tumblr for my first request can I get the tfp decepticons finding a pod and imagine their surprise when inside there is a bunch of sparklings I always head canon sparkling to look small and squishy looking like mashmellows and making beep and squeaky sounds I just love sparklings so much they are so cute

Coming right up!

Decepticons Meets Sparklings

●When coming across a signal, it was a medium-sized cylinder pod that reaches up to Megatron's *Clears throat* snatchable slutty waist- WOAH! Who said that? ●Anyways, a group of Vehicons managed to bring the pod back to the Nemesis before the Autobots could arrive. No one on the Nemesis knew what it could be, so the Vehicons made bets as to what it is. Is it a bomb? A shield that can stop an enemy from attacking? A sword that can control your opponents against their will for the rest of eternity? Definitely not 5t3v3's lame sparkling theory! ●When they opened it up, they found... 7 sparklings? 5t3v3 will forever and always rub it in the face plates of the Vehicons who doubted him. ●Some of the crew thought that this was a waste, but Megatron had an idea. If this war continues far longer than it should, they will have Younger Decepticons continuing their legacy, defeating the Autobots that have grown old, ensuring the Decepticons victory! ●So, the Decepticons were split among the crew.

Megatron

●Of course, he picked the one that was aggressive and looked the toughest out of the eight. He wasn't going to have an heir that was weak and pathetic. How he did this you ask? Simple. The one that bit Starscream's finger and wouldn't let go no matter how hard Starscream swung him around. ●Would definitely teach his sparkling how to swear, even having his kid's first word be a bad word. It's basically that one scene in Steven Universe where Peridot was trying to get Pumpkin to say "Clod". ●If he had somewhere to be, or just fight Optimus, he would let Soundwave babysit, he trusts his T.I.C. with anything. There's no way he's letting that incompetent seeker watch over his adopted child. ●He would name the sparkling Sunburst; a mighty name for his mighty sparkling to strike fear into his future enemies! ●Would teach his sparkling everything there is to know about fighting from his glory days in the Pits of Kaon as a gladiator

Starscream

●He would be last to choose, unfortunately, and get the runt of the litter. But that's fine, he can work with this. ●He would try to teach the sparkling to say "All hail Lord Starscream". The sparkling would end up calling him Sire. Starscream wouldn't act impressed in public, but in private, he would be squealing with joy; He's already, unintentionally grown attached to his sparkling. ●The bot he would allow to babysit his sparkling would be a Vehicon, mainly 5teve. ●The name he would give his sparkling would probably be Thundercracker or Skywarp, something to remind him of his old trine mates. ●Would try to push his sparkling to be better than Megatron, which would unknowingly put a strain in his relationship with his sparkling because, to his sparkling, nothing he does is ever good enough for his sire

Shockwave

●Finds Lord Megatron's reason to be... logical ●Would be the one to instantly find out which would be best for him. Don't question his methods ●Would name the sparkling Prodigy ●Will teach his sparkling all about the logics of science. Anything that his sparkling does that goes beyond the knowledge of science, proves something of his illogical, or both... he would be so proud. What is this emotion? Pride and joy? Logical. ●Would trust Predaking and or Soundwave to babysit his sparkling

Soundwave

●Others might not see it, but Soundwave would pick one that strangely looks similar to two of his old minicons Rumble and Frenzy. ●Would be the most overprotective of his sparkling. Sparkling gone from his quarters? He knows where he is; wandering the halls and is close by. His spark swells when he finds out that the reason for his sparkling's escapades is because the sparkling was looking for his sire: Soundwave! ●Would be recording and photographing his sparkling's milestones and accomplishments ●The sparkling's name would be Hightop ●Would trust Lord Megatron, Shockwave, or Knockout with babysitting his sparkling

Predaking

●This one was the closest to dying and required an Energon transfusion, and Predaking volunteered. Luckily, the sparkling survived, and because the sparkling now has Predaking's Energon, not only are they related by blood, as humans say, but now the sparkling has grown Predacon features. ●Predaking was glad to have a Predacon that wasn't made in a lab this time. He made sure his sparkling was by his side until it can do things on it's own. ●The sparkling's name would be Inferno because it can transform into something that was Phoenix shaped along with abilities. ●He will tear Starscream a new one if he'd dare lay servos on his sparkling. ●Predaking would trust Knockout, Breakdown, Shockwave, and/or Dreadwing to babysit

Knockout & Breakdown

●Knockout would pick one that was better looking than the others, and Breakdown had no say in this, but didn't complain. He knew better. ●Would act the most like real parents because they always wanted a sparkling. ●They would named the sparkling Wildbreak. ●Breakdown will trust Dreadwing to babysit his sparkling, and Knockout would trust the Vehicons. If anything bad happens to his sparkling, he wouldn't repair any Vehicons as punishment, his words not mine. ●Knockout and Breakdown will always take pictures and/or record milestones or adorable moments with their sparkling: His first words, first steps, first friend, first fight and won, etc. Next thing you know, he gets a Conjunx Endura-

5t3v3 & Other Vehicons

●Since he called it, he called dibs on being the sire ●Spends every waking moment hanging out with his sparkling, playing games, spending time together, worries that he isn't doing a good job, only for those thoughts to completely disappear when his sparkling's first word is sire, goes towards him when attempting to walk, always goes, and cries for him when the sparkling gets a nightmare. ●Would do anything for his sparkling to ensure it's safety ●When looking for a babysitter, 5t3v3 would have one of the sparkling's Vehicon Uncles take care of it if he's on duty. He wouldn't take them with him because what if the Autobots show up, kill him, and take his sparkling away? No. No way! ●The sparkling's name would be Meteoroid

Some headcanons of Starscream x human reader (that may or may not be kidnapped by the decepticons for ransom) , where they try to defend and support him no matter what.

Interesting concept….. I LIKE IT!! This reader is a funky reader but I love it nonetheless I HATE STARSCREAAA

DISCLAIMER: PHYSICAL ABUSE, KIDNAPPING

[ STARSCREAM ] x [ GN!READER ]

[ starscream x human!gender-neutral!reader ]

HEADCANONS

- You were part of the Autobots team, being Ratchet’s partner. You had a lot of information about the team because you worked behind the scenes and the Decepticons decided to use that to their advantage. One day when you were walking home from a little walk, you were taken away by Starscream onto the Nemesis.

- Honestly, you didn’t mind. Starscream was surprisingly really gentle towards you. He was only verbally yelling at you and that’s it, nothing harmful at all.

- You would tease Starscream since he was the one trying to secretly get information out of you to ‘impress Megatron’. You thought it was silly to try so hard to get information out of somebody like you, mentally hard and strong.

- Starscream does urge to hurt you, but you were valuable and you could’ve been used for ransom instead.

- You kinda just roamed around the Nemesis in secret when you could. Starscream is a bad supervisor so may as well use that to your liking. You’d see many things happen and even acquire valuable information for the autobots.

- When you do go out, you oftenly would see Starscream being verbally and physically abused by Megatron. You have heard of their tension before but you didn’t think it would be this bad.

- You were pretty courageous so when Starscream would come back and you would rush back into place, you would try to comfort him. Asking him what he likes to do and what he would desire.

- At first, he wouldn’t give in and say his usual stuff like ‘becoming leader of the decepticons’ or something. After a bit of persistence, he would say some stuff that does inform you.

- When somebot that isn’t Megatron ( because Megatron would literally blast you away ) starts arguing or blaming Starscream, you would hop in and defend Starscream. When you do try, it’s almost guaranteed for them to make fun of you and how puny you are.

- Starscream hates it when you do this, well at-least he says that he hates it. He does secretly enjoy your comfort and defense you bring to him and really wants to show you comfort back, but he’s merely a decepticon.

You know what would be really funny?

If Heatwave could do a perfect Starscream impression.

Like one day he would be just having a conversation with Knockout, and listening to him complain about his former position on the Nemesis. Just going on and on about how annoying Starscream was, and then Heatwave responds by saying something in what he thought was a poor rendition of said seeker, not even trying that hard:

Heatwave: HA! Let me guess, it went something like, ‘Knockout you insolent whiner! Get back to work, or I’ll throw you in the incinerator myself!’. Or something like that?

Knockout: “😦”

Heatwave: “What?”

Out of nowhere, Heatwave had flipped Knockout’s whole world view upside down, and is completely speechless about it.

Heatwave hasn’t even met Starscream!

All Heatwave thought about what it takes to mock Starscream, was to make his voice whiny. And that’s literally all he did. He just made a raspier, high-pitched, whinier version of his voice.

Immediately after, Knockout does a double-take and asks Heatwave to do it again. With a different arrogant phrase of course. And it happens again! Knockout then went from freaking-the-frag-out, to Primus almighty this is hilarious.

Couple more phrases later, Heatwave still doesn’t see what’s so funny, and Knockout takes him to the rest of the autobots to show them his recent mind-boggling discovery.

Queue a whole group of jaw-dropped expressions, after having Heatwave do his whole routine.

It would be even funnier if Heatwave still didn’t get it.

How the ES!Autobots would react to you singing a love song in another language

that silly idea just arrived in my head listening to "Mon Amour - Remix" because, idfk, it has such a good vibe. I KNOW i haven't written shit for literal years but transformers got the best of me! Link of the song as the end, ASKS OPEN!!

The terrans part is NOT ROMANTIC!!! IT'S YOU ASKING THEIR OPINION ON SINGING IT FOR YOUR CRUSH!! don't make this weird pls

(Also I know I'm bad at writing. I just do it for fun so no judging pls!! Apologies for any spelling mistakes, english isn't my first language!)

Bumblebee

Would look at you like that exact emoji : “🤨”

The fuck you mean you can sing?

THE FUCK YOU MEAN YOU CAN SPEAK ANOTHER LANGUAGE-?

He ends up loving it and even vibes a little, tapping his feet on the beat

Still confused about the meaning of the song

He asks you so many questions when you finish singing, since when you started learning the language, what does it mean, blablah.

You explain to him you were born and raised in Mexico, your parents would always talk to you in Spanish. You learned english by yourself when you changed country.

He's actually amazed at how good you speak both languages

He still hasn't forgotten about the meaning tho.

He begs you to know, but you don't give in, and let it as a mystery, because you're just silly like that. :b

Optimus Prime

If I had to also use an Emoji for his expression, it'll probably be : “😲”

He didn't expect you to sing at all, considering how shy you are

He even less expected you to sing WELL.

Not to complain.

He thinks your voice is very soft and even if he isn't too found of music in general, this one sounds strangely soft and optimistic.

Is it because you sing it? Maybe

It took him a few seconds to realize that if he wasn't understanding what you were saying wasn't because you were stumbling on your words, but because you were speaking another language.

He's very gently surprised by that fact, it makes him smile.

Not only because it only makes you look smarter to him, but also because he realizes you two are similar, both talking multiple languages.

He softly asks you what it means, not pushing too far.

He looks at you SO SOFTLY you cannot bring yourself to say no

You explain to him it's a love song, and he tries his best to fight the need to give in and kiss you. (He's a cutie patootie real no fake)

Starscream

Judges you at first. I'm not sorry.

Like why did you randomly start singing??

Why can't you even do it in THE RIGHT LANGUAGE

He seems annoyed tbh

You chuckle and tell him it's a love song, but you hold a strong bond to Spanish language

He relaxes and rolls his eyes, because he can't admit that it's actually sweet.

Thrash

You go up to him and asks him for an advice or two.

He immediately accept, staring at you like, bro/gurl, you got his full attention.

You explain to him you want to sing a song for a person you like, with a twist. It's a love song, but in another language.

He seems both interested and curious

You start singing it to have his opinion on the vibe, and when you're done, he aggressively nods. Approved by Thrash.

He seems curious on how you know Spanish, tho..

You explain to him your story real quick, that your parents come from Mexico but you changed country. You know the language by them.

He's amazed. You're such a cool person.

Will ask you a full translation of the lyrics!!

Twitch

You find her completing the chores to earn stars, she seems so focused and flying everywhere, it's hard to get her attention.

You have to tell her you'll give her your star if she helps you out.

It didn't take a lot more for her to sit on the floor, focused on what you're about to say. (Make it quick, her adhd head isn't going to hold for long :3)

You explain to her you want to impress your crush by using the little things you know the best.

Singing, and your ability to speak another language.

She immediately agrees, it's sweet and unique!!

She doesn't ask any questions and just tells you to go for it, like what are you waiting for??

Don't forget her star. :3

[klemsk-a]

TL;DR

S2a undermines the concept of redemption so badly it makes me want to cry.

Megatron changing for the better is interesting because it’s complicated. He used to be a warlord, a tyrant, people suffered directly as a consequence of his actions. Unfortunately ES fails to show us these consequences. The closes we have are Starscreams words and that is far from showing us anything.

There are no flashbacks, no actual conversations. Nothing but the present and most of it is from childrens perspective.

This lack of nuance is frustrating. For all we know Megatron might’ve acted exactly the same, but changed factions therefore he is a good guy know.

And this “autobots = good, decepticons = bad” morality is so on the nose in s2a it’s actually kind of pathetic.

The new season needed a villain, and all the hatred for cybertronians apparently evaporated (everybody else just had a change of heart ig and the only 2 people who actually disliked them are dead) and the cons were “always” bad so it doesn’t matter.

It allows the writers not to think about Megatron and problems accompanying his redemption because his victims are terrible so… it’s all fine, don’t worry 👍.

Perhaps it isn’t this way and I majorly misinterpreted the show.

The existence of the chaos terrans really makes me doubt it tho. It also makes me incredibly mad.

Aftermath literally comes into existence, has no idea what’s going on, who is everyone and they’re all fighting. So he does too. And immediately gets called terrible, basically the evil version of the terrans.

WHAT KIND OF MESSAGES IS THAT?

That because you aren’t from a perfect family you’re evil? That is what I got out of it.

Terrans = whole Emberstone = good

Chaos terrans = broken Emberstone = bad

For a show about acceptance and empathy that is a terrible plot point 😀

The episode with Aftermath and Jawbreaker (was extremely boring imo but that’s not important) gives you the impression they’re going to further develop Aftermath. Have him questioning orders and thinking about his choices. But no, he STOLE the entire water from a cave in one tank (how did he even manage???)

Spitfire is an even worse example.

On her first day alive, she gets told that if she wins a race she gets to go on an autobot mission.

She wins, by endangering Alex, and they tell her she won’t get the reword. It’s all understandable but the writers clearly don’t know anything about raising children or children in general.

Yes Spitfire did a bad thing and has to be taught that her behaviour was bad. No they cannot be mad at her for not immediately understanding and agreeing with them. That’s why children (especially toddlers) are infuriating. They don’t know better so you have to teach them, but they will find a loophole to help them get what they want (obviously depends on a child but we are rolling with Spitfires personality). Now depending on what they’ve done to get to it you either reward them or punish them. Because they don’t necessarily understand what they did wrong, even if it’s obvious to you, it can be hard to explain in a way that satisfies a child.

Spitfire lashing out and attacking Twitch is common for kids who believe that someone got something they deserved. It’s especially common if a kid has problems with aggression.

That could’ve been an interesting character development and a good message. Sometimes children won’t be easy to deal with (as all the terrans are, sure they can make bad decisions but ultimately they don’t cause much problems), sometimes they have unpleasant personalities or behavioural problems but it doesn’t make them evil. Being there and loving a child isn’t enough to raise them, discipline is needed and so is patience.

But no.

Aftermath and Spitfire are chaos terrans so they are evil by proxy. Too bad lol.

Twitch and Thrash needed to learn everything. So did Nightshade, Hashtag and Jawbreaker. There was a great deal about self discovery.

Aftermath and Spitfire already have alt modes (at least Spitfire I don’t actually remember Aftermath) and they are just terrible, no good people.

Case closed, problem solved.

Oh. And then they died so…

Unlucky 🤷‍♀️

Redemption in media, especially kids media is important. It sends a message that you can in fact mess up in life, make a couple (hundreds) of mistakes and still come out on top.

But redemption is earned, and it can be (and often is) hard to changed for the better (as opposed to changing for worse).

You shouldn’t change for those you have hurt but so it won’t happen again, so you won’t hurt others again.

Some will come back, some will not.

It IS important that you try nonetheless.

Because no matter what explaining isn’t excusing and no one is born evil.

This show is so FRUSTRATING to me because I cared, and still do obviously (I wrote two versions of this but accidentally deleted the first one so had to write one again).

I really hope S2b will be back on track about acceptance and redemption.

I think Starscream deserved better but sincerely hope they (autobots) will get a hold of him, and him and Megatron will actually talk.

At least let Starscream have his father-daughter relationship with Hashtag, please 🙏.

[brandwhorestarscream]

Starscream keeps catching himself doing mating displays at Megatron, much to his dismay. But the worst part about it, the part that truly rankles Starscream's pride, is that Megatron doesn't appear to notice. Starscream knows he's gorgeous. He's in great condition. Great breeding.

And this stupid grounder doesn't even care.

Then, one day, when it's only them in the command centre for once, Megatron leans back in his throne, and pops his panels. And his chestplate, revealing his pouches.

Starscream stares, mind gone utterly blank.

When Starscream doesn't respond fast enough to Megatron's liking, he huffs and says, "Well? Aren't you going to put a sparkling in me? What else was that silly aerial nonsense for?"

And that's how Starscream eventually discovered he had a massive pregnancy kink.

YESSSSSSSSS! FUCK YEAH

Starscream has the BIGGEST pregnancy kink! Breeding kink too! Like hell yeah, look, his mate's belly is getting all round because he fucked them pregnant! They're carrying his babies! He did that! Starscream gets sooo hot and bothered just thinking about sparking Megatron up, and it's the best sex either of them have ever had when he's stuffing his valve full and filling his gestation tank to the brim 🤤🥰

I love Starscream trying so hard to impress Megatron, especially subconsciously, and getting sooo ruffled when the stupid grounder won't respond! Unknown to him Megatron just has a god-tier poker face (or maybe griunders just express interest super differently and it doesn't register to seekers, idk). Either way he is so incredibly blindsided when Megatron puts himself on display like that. They fuck right there in the command center, over the table and on the consoles and even up against the wall. Starscream's got both hands all over his pouches, squeezing and teasing them and saying all sorts of filthy things--their sparklings are going to be so well fed, he'll have to get Megatron some glittering chains and decorations worthy of someone mothering the Prince of Vos's children. Megatron is just along for the ride but is totally blissed out: as much of a brat as Starscream can be, he knows what he's doing with his spike and it has the old gladiator drooling on his shoulder and digging his claws in to constantly demand more, harder, give me more, frag me harder!

[revelboo]

I LOVEEEE YOUR WRITING!! Especially for Prowl and Starscream!!

also, just a question—what do you think about sunder??

Oooooh, I’d honestly forgotten about him and his level of psycho. He’d be hard to balance he’s so crazy and violent, but it could be done. He’d probably be terrifyingly obsessive once he fixates on something, though

18+ mass displaced mech 🌶️

Stand Too Close Pt 11

IDW Prowl x Reader

• Tension and stress at bay for the moment, he vents against your warm skin just to feel you shiver under him, his chin on your belly, partially sprawled on you and keeping you pinned flat on your back. Not completely trusting this intimacy or that you’re not fighting him. Almost missing it as crazy as it is, the verbal sparring with you. Being able to speak his mind. To be himself. Not who he has to pretend to be. More relaxed right now than he can ever remember even before the war.

• “I like you better when you smile,” you say, fingers lazily tracing along his chevron. “Otherwise you’re just a bastard.” Those blue optics flick up to glare at you, catching your fingers and pulling your hand to him to gently bite down on your wrist just hard enough to leave the impression of his denta and, most likely, a bruise later as you gasp. In the back of your mind there’s the uncomfortable thought that you should stop teasing him, stop provoking him as good as the repercussions feel. Because you’re starting to almost like the jerk and there’s no way that’s not going to hurt you down the road. You know it. Know that the hate and resentment are still there, tangled together in the high of him. Angry sex, hate fucking, is good and all, but you’re not sure that’s what this is anymore. At some point it started feeling real.

• What is that emotion that passes so quickly across your face he almost misses it? Before he can figure it out, you slide a foot against him, along his thigh and nudge his spike with your toes. Unable to behave. “I’m the bastard?” He growls, shifting to cage you under him and press his face against your throat, feeling those soft hands on his helm, urging him higher. Mouth sliding against yours as he gives you what you want and not at all surprised when you try to bite his lip again. Realizing that he wants more than this, than something solely physical as he brushes his mouth over yours, head lifting. “Tell me something about you.”

• “Now?” You demand in exasperation as his hand slides under the back of your head to cup it and he shifts against you, that spike brushing your inner thigh with the promise of heat and passion. Those blue optics unyielding as he doesn’t move where you need him. Waiting as you swear softly, feeling his servos tangling in your hair. Why does he care suddenly? “Like what?”

• “Do you have siblings? A family?” Door wings lifting as he shrugs, he realizes that he knows nothing really. You’re a stranger to him just like he is to you despite knowing each other’s bodies intimately and it bothers him. Wants to know your dreams, what you enjoy, what you hate. All of it. “What did you do before-” Trailing off instead of finishing. Before he ruined your life. Before he took all your dreams away.

• It’s the first time he’s actually looked guilty about taking you and your heart aches as he grimaces. Every time you’ve ever brought it up, it ended in you both yelling at each other. Hating each other and trying to hurt each other. He’s never apologized for it and you doubt he ever will. There will probably always be that hurt, that pang of anger inside you at having your life derailed by him, but you don’t really hate him for it. Can’t when you’re starting to see the real him under the cold indifference. That fiery anger, that crooked smile and surprising laugh he hides from the world under all the ice. Arching up, you brush your mouth against his. Don’t want to talk about the things that are lost to you now, because they still hurt. Just want to get lost in him, replace that ache with something new. Something that feels dangerously like actual affection.

[yes-i-write-fanfiction]

Hi I wanna know how would the tfa bots elite guard and cons react to meeting a female bot who is like Barbie who came to life by an allspark fragment and developing a crush on her

-Optimus feels ashamed of his crush because he doesn't think he's worth her. She's just so... so perfect. Beautiful, kind, funny, intelligent. She's got it all and Optimus doesn't. He'll probably try to avoid her for some time after realizing how he feels about her.

-If Optimus feels ashamed then Ratchet feels embarrassed. He's an old mech, past his best years and he's not supposed to go after some young, pretty bot that's just started figuring out life. Not to mention that he's long since given up on having a love life. Like Optimus he'll probably avoid her if possible in an attempt to smother these feelings.

-Despite his claims, Bumblebee don't have a lot of experience with lady-bots. You know what, scratch that. He's got ZERO experience. That doesn't mean he'll dive right in and do his best to impress her. Super nervous about making a fool out of himself but he masks this with false confidence. Starts stumbling over his words whenever she smiles at him though.

-Bulkhead in love is just so wholesome. He realizes he's got a crush on her when he finds himself painting nothing but portraits of her. Tries to woo her the old fashioned way, with flowers and poems about how pretty her optics are. Will ask her to model for his paintings as an excuse to spend time with her.

-For Prowl, him having a crush is divided in two parts. First, he ignores it. Ignores her. Tries to be smooth about how he leaves when she shows up but he's just desperately trying to avoid her so he won't fall deeper in love. But he can't focus on anything, all his thoughts keeps drifting back to her so eventually he accepts it. Now he's determined to woo her though he feels intimidated by how amazing she is. How is he supposed to prove himself?

-It's been centuries since Ultra Magnus last had a crush but he just can't help it with this bot. She's everything he looks for in a conjux. Graceful, gentle, determined, intelligent, kind. She would make a perfect First Conjux (cybertronian version of First Lady). Now, he's not been in the dating game since he was a new frame but he's still confident that he can muster up the old charm.

-Fuuuuuck, Sentinel is so damn annoying about his crush. He flirts, says a million different pick up lines that makes everyone else cringe yet he fails to notice how hard he's failing. In his mind, a perfect mech like him deserves nothing less than a perfect bot like her. Thinks she's got a crush on him just because he can't imagine otherwise. Tries to impress her all the time.

-Jazz, just like Sentinel, flirts, but he's so much better at it. At first the flirting is mostly playful, trying to test the waters and see if she's interested, and once he's more confident then he'll lay it on real thick. Loves coming up with improvised love songs on the spot, singing about her many amazing qualities.

-The jettwins, Jetfire and Jetstorm, are like two puppies the way they follow her around, desperate for any scrap of attention. Like, they are down BAD. They hang onto her every word and think she's the most incredible bot in the world. Desperately try to impress her.

-Every lord needs a lady and that includes warlords so of course Megatron is determined to make her his. While she's a little too kind for the position as Lady of the decepticons he doesn't mind it. Her intelligence and charm more than makes up for it. Super suave with his flirting.

-Starscream tries so badly to impress her, be it with his intelligence, power or by flying. He tries to to act confident and suave with her but the moment she does anything he feels completely lost because she does everything with such ease. She's naturally graceful, doesn't even have to try to make people like her and that's everything Starscream wishes he had.

-She's got Blitzwing's personalities rapid switching because they all want to spend time/look at her. Hothead's usual anger and bravado turns into a blustering mess around her and all he can say are simple sentences like "You're pretty" or "I want to hold your hand so badly". Gets so flustered by his admissions that he willingly switches out. Icy is better, he is calmer about his crush and tries to woo her by being a gentleman. Too bad Random suddenly switches in and ruins it by saying that he wants to eat her so they can be together forever. Awkward.

-Look, Lugnut already got a conjux that he loves and adores so he feels super guilty about his crush. Whenever he sees this bot he will shout at them to stay away, calling her a temptress. Secretly though he's wondering if Strika would like to meet her. He's pretty confident that she'd like this bot and she's always been up for a third.

-Shockwave is torn between acting professional and ogling her like an idiot. She's perfect in every way, sense and form and he'd be an idiot to just ignore her. But because she's so perfect he finds himself so taken off guard that he doesn't know how to react.

-Yeah, Blackarachnia feels terrible. She's got a crush on her bot at the same time she's super jealous. This bot is beautiful and highly sought after by everyone and she feels so lacking in comparison to them. Might try to flirt but honestly don't think it will go anywhere, even if they for some reason were interested. Blackarachnia simply couldn't bear constandly comparing herself to this perfect bot.

[seriously-siri]

Back on the robit train and I'm still bitter they never developed Harmonex up for more than getting crushed by Cybertronian Godzilla.

Changed that. (Spoiler alert: it still gets crushed later, but it just hurts more)

_______

Starscream never outwardly shown when he was impressed. He found it was always better to act like you didn’t care much, that way people were always trying to make you care or were trying to impress you instead of getting the satisfaction of having you owe them a compliment. Harmonex, though. Harmonex never ceased to impress even the most hardened and bleak soul. Even before the main central tower was in sight, Starscream could hear the hum of the crystals that made up the city and had he not been flying, you would have seen a small, impressed smirk tug at the corner of his mouth.

There was nothing like it in the Universe and even though Starscream had never left Cybertron, he’d bet his wings on that. No matter the time of day the buildings glowed with soft, ever changing blues, greens, purples, and silvers. It was never too bright, even when the sun was up, and it was never too dark no matter how bleak the night got. The streets lit up under your feet and when the wind blew waves of light blew across the walkways and buildings, proceeding the gust like the white caps on a wave ready to break the shore line.

Then, there was the music.

It was rumored that Harmonex’s foundation and the crystal used to build it up towards the stars were sparks that never got a chance to be cultivated. Back in the days when Cybertron didn’t have cities, a hot spot met its end in a fiery explosion and what was left behind, what those unborn souls gifted Cybertron, was a crystal that sang in perfect harmony with the wind.

It wasn’t always an audible song. Only when the wind blew hard enough did the melodies drift out of the city, riding the air like wayward particles from the sea of rust. And it was beautiful; better than any choir or voice or instrument that Starscream ever heard. Most of the time, though, there was a silent hum; a vibration under your feet and it was never uncomfortable and it never got annoying. It was soothing and warm and wrapped around you like a warm updraft on a cold day. It could catch you off guard if you didn’t know it was there, but Starscream knew and as he touched down just outside the gates of the city he smiled.

Just a little.

He made his way through the gates, only quickly flashing his I.D to a security officer and bee lined down the main road straight towards his destination.

The city of Harmonex was considered a city of art and education. Artists, dancers, and most musicians either hailed from the city or traveled there to learn and master their craft. It was no surprise that the main structure in the middle of Harmonex, a tall, jagged looking tower, was one of the most renowned universities on Cybertron. The tower itself wasn’t constructed initially, but was the result of the rumored hot spot explosion and the founders of the city decided to hollow it out and mark it a symbol to all of Cybertron. A memorial to the sparks that never got a chance to learn their trades.

It didn’t take long to reach the tower and Starscream dodged in and around students, teachers, and a few tourists towards the lifts and up to the thirtieth floor of the tower. Taking a right off the lift he headed around the circular hall. He almost missed his destination because the light just outside the office was blown out. It was only because the door was slightly ajar, letting the light from the windows of the room spill out into the hall that Starscream didn’t walk past it in his haste. Peering through the gap in the door he caught some movement off to the right and without knocking, pushed the door open.

Starscream waltzed into the room and peered around, barely acknowledging the office’s owner, a minicon flier up on a ladder against a wall of books, boxes, and trinkets. “Professor.”

Slipknot let out a surprised yelp and almost toppled backwards off his high perch where he was trying to reach a box on the top shelf. Just catching himself the little bot turned to see who the unexpected visitor was and frowned.

“Starscream. Ah wait-” Slipknot let go of one side of the ladder and did a mock bow. “I apologize, I mean, Senator. To what do I owe this pleasure?”

“Oh stop it. I don’t want to be here as much as you don’t want me here.” Starscream stepped up to the ladder and held up his hands, offering to help the minicon down.

Slipknot raised an eyebrow and simply jumped backwards, landing quietly on the floor. Pulling the ladder to the side he pointed up at the box he had been trying to grab earlier. “Will you get that for me?”

Starscream reached up and easily grabbed the box and handed it to the little professor. He followed Slipknot as he walked around to the other side of his desk, disappeared behind it and then reappeared on the chair which he used to help climb up onto the desk. He put the box down, walked to the edge of the desk and sat, his legs dangling.

“This...isn’t your old office.” Starscream commented as he looked around at all the furniture. It was what you’d expect to find in a teacher’s office; a desk, chair, some log cases along the wall, an extra folded chair off to the side for visitors, but that was the problem. It was a “normal” office. It was for “normal” bots like himself. At least the normal that was his height.

Slipknot was a minicon and not only that, he was mini for a minicon. He barely came up to Starscream’s knee joints and even though the little guy had wings he still wasn’t nearly as wide as Starscream’s legs put together.

The little bot looked around and shrugged, but his wings drooped slightly. “Yeah, I got an ‘upgrade’ along with my tenure.” Sighing he reached behind him and grabbed the box and set it in his lap. “They didn’t see the need to move my old furniture to my new office since this one was already furnished.” He pointed to the ladder. “But hey, they bought me that, at least.”

Starscream grit his denta. The functionalism had finally made it to Harmonex. All the way out to where everyone was sure it couldn’t get its foot in the door. A place of art and a city that celebrated freedom and free thinking and differences had finally succumbed to the blight that was quickly killing Cybertron’s culture. “Why are you putting up with this?”

“You know why, I don’t have a choice in the matter.” Slipknot took the lid off his box, but didn’t go any further before catching Starscream’s angry gaze. “Now, why are you all the way out here in Harmonex, at this school, in my office?”

“You’ve been ignoring Prowl.”

“Yep.”

“Well, he got annoyed by that and contacted me.”

“Sorry to put you in that situation.”

“No you’re not.”

“Nope.”

Starscream grabbed the folded chair and sat down, crossing his arms over his chest and a leg over the other. “You can’t ignore this, unfortunately. He needs you to run on a mission with his team in Kaon and do your mapping thing.”

“My mapping thing?” Slipknot rolled his optics. “We invented GPS droids to do exactly that for everyone!”

“Those droids can’t put in the tactical advice that you can provide. He needs your skills.”

“Isn’t he literally a tactician?”

“He still doesn’t have your acute knowledge of everything about the city. He transferred to Kaon barely a meta-cycle ago.”

“For what exactly? He didn’t get into specifics in any of his messages and he can’t just annoy me until I say yes.”

That’s definitely his strategy.

Letting out a frustrated groan Starscream thought for a moment. “He didn’t tell me a lot, either, but from what I can gather from our conversation and knowing what is the bane of Kaon right now, he and Sentinel are going after the fighting ring.”

“The makeshift arenas that keep disappearing?” Slipknot looked surprised for a moment and then he nodded. “Makes sense. The champion there is gathering quite the following. Even all the way out here, I’ve seen graffiti of his symbol pop up on back alleyway walls.”

“Sentinel is getting paranoid about him. About Megatron.”

Slipknot smirked. “He named himself after the fallen Prime? After Megatronus? I like it. It’s very fitting.”

“I don’t care about the historic symbology.”

“Well I am a history professor.”

“That’s just because you’re old.” Starscream waved a hand in the air to dismiss the quickly derailing topic. “I am worried that if you don’t agree now, Sentinel will lash out at you. Prowl dropped his name at least twice in our conversation so if you don’t say yes to me, you won’t have a choice once he asks and you know he won’t actually ask. He’ll just threaten you until you have to comply.”

Slipknot frowned. “I thought after what happened with Nominus Prime we’d have a better leader, but apparently they’re just getting worse.”

Starscream uncrossed his legs and leaned forward. “He’s going to either revoke your exemption status as a minicon or do something to Byte.”

That caught the minicon’s attention. “I’d like to see him try.” Slipknot hissed between his denta.

“He can and he will. Byte works for the archives, right? Sentinel could have him transferred to Iacon and then tell you your status is null and void outside of Harmonex. You two would never get to see each other.” Starscream smirked and sat back. “But if you’d like to push your luck…”

“Frag you, Starscream. You sound like you’re just here to relay Sentinel’s threats to me before they become official.”

“I am not. I’m simply stating the extent of what he could do to you.”

Slipknot narrowed his optics. “And why are you pretending you care? You don’t. I know you, my former student.”

“Because despite what you think, I still represent you.” Starscream reached out quickly and flicked one of Slipknot’s wing tips. “And I am getting sick of watching Sentinel and the rest of the senate abuse us for what we are and not acknowledging who we are.”

Starscream’s wings twitched, a movement that didn’t go unnoticed by Slipknot, but the little bot didn’t say anything. Starscream was trying to not let too many of his personal emotions rise up. He hated the senate and he hated Sentinel even more. He hated everything about this society. About the people who stuck him in his cold, uncomfortable frame. He’d only ever confessed this to a couple of bots. Thundercracker and Skywarp, of course knew, but he once told a history professor who was willing to listen to a rant that had both nothing and everything to do with history in the making.

Slipknot sighed looking down into the box still sitting on his lap. Reaching into it he pulled out a small translucent black and green marble and held it up to catch the sun’s light from the window behind him. “I got this as a gift from Senator Shockwave for giving a lecture at his academy. I have no idea what it is and he didn’t either, but it’s pretty and old so he thought I’d like it. It was just before the senate got to him.”

Starscream frowned. If only Slipknot knew what the old ‘senator’ was up to now.

The little bot placed the box behind him and stood up on the desk gripping the marble in his hand. “Kaon it is, then. Let Prowl know I’ll be there in the morning.”

Starscream nodded. “At least Jetfire will be going with you.”

Slipknot smirked. “Oh, well why didn’t you just say that in the first place.”
