WHAT?!?! Surely Optimus did that by accident tho cause Genvo is like a teenager— right?! 😭

We don't know the full story of what exactly went on in that moment, but the decepticons were running away and blasting everything in their path, with Genvo even grabbing Ulchtar to run with him because the autobots were following them. The projectile that hit Starscream and the blast that hit Genvo were both fired from behind them, likely meaning it was an autobot attack. Whether or not Optimus meant to kill Genvo (I'm assuming it was him who did it since his gun was smoking) is something we don't know, as this flashback is from Starscream's perspective and cuts off just as he witnesses Optimus arrive

It could have been an accident, but also based on dialog from the previous issues, it sounds like that Optimus might've once had a cruel streak of his own. It's a very interesting setup going on!

And on the teenager aspect, I'm assuming that all the cybertronians present in the series so far are at some level of adulthood. We don't yet know how they're made in the continuity, or if they even have a life cycle, but I think it's fair to guess that they're not kids. Young, sure, but not that young

Can you do a yandere tfa starscream x autobot femme reader if you don’t do yandere then is fine don’t worry

Yandere Tfa Starscream X Autobot femme Reader Headcanons

When he first saw you. Oh when he first saw you Starscream thought you were the sweetest thing he's ever laid his optics on.

You were new to the Autobot ranks. Or at least new to the ones here on earth. What you were doing in this mudball of a planet he'll never know.

But you? In such gleaming armor in the midst of battle? Oh he knew you were his.

How could a mech such as himself pass up a femme like you? Such ruthlessness you fought with. You stirred a fire within him when you had struck him down. The look in your optics at the end of your blade had driven him wild.

Surely you wanted him to. What femme gives a mech such a sultry look and not want them?

Starscream is patient despite what others think. He bides his time. Watches you. Learns every little move you make.

He makes sure that insolent ninja bot Prowl stays away from you. The sneaky Autobrat has nearly caught him once or twice.

It doesn't stop him from. Well. Borrowing a thing or two from you.

A polishing rag. The cup you had drank sweetened energon from. The soft red paint from your lips staining it's darkened rim one of his most prized possessions.

He gets bolder as time goes on. He takes photos. Videos.

Those. Oh those he watches over and over and over.

He memorizes every inch of your frame. The sound of your voice. The curves of your body. Something, anything to keep him company on lonely nights.

Starscream isn't the type to just. Steal you away. It would draw to much attention. Making far too difficult to keep his precious femme.

If he just randomly showed up with you on the Decepticon warship then Megatron would want to get his filthy servos all over your pretty frame.

So instead he uses his sly glossa to convince Megatron that he needs you.That you have valuable information that could be useful to the Decepticon cause. That he knows just what to blackmail you with.

Starscream would take you away in the middle of battle. Using the confusion to sneak you away. Carrying your pliant frame to the waiting warship.

You looked so pretty laying on his berth. Sure he was sorry he had to chain your leg to the bed but he couldn't have you hurting yourself on accident. He knows just how confusing and jarring it could be waking back up from battle and being some you didn't recognize.

Don't think you'll be able to escape easily either. You've been stripped of all your weapons. Your fancy little sword hidden away. Again. He didn't want you to hurt yourself.

Any and all forms of communication has been taken away as well. There will be no calling your so called "friends" He'll have you convinced that they left you. That they no longer wanted you.

He's saved you. Truly. You'll be safe with him.

You are at the mercy of Megatron's second in command. Don't worry though. He'll keep you safe. Happy.

Just listen to him. Ok?

Out of all the OCs you have, who’s your favorite? > : D

Short Answer: there are always at least two walking around my mind, and currently those are [Specthor] and... Edwin.

'Thor is a well-known OC by near buddies online and on my other socials, but Eddy didn't even have a reference until now so, excuse me I'll use this opportunity to do a Longer Answer!

(The other characters shown here are [Naveler] and Birdlord. That last one needs a proper reference too but that's for another day because he carries a lot of lore from another project.)

Edwin is one of four of my oldest OCs (I think his first doodles date back to 2007-2008) so he practically grew up with me! Younger Windy was shy and lacked a strong masculine, fatherly, and even brotherly figure so, in some way, Edwin resumed all of that and helped me become brave when I was hesitant to try something new.

He sounds like a guardian angel, but I usually joke that he is quite the "husbando"/partner in crime of my mind hahaha.

Talking about "husbando": in these modern days, enjoying critically and leisurely about characters, even wishing to portray them with my own views, Edwin is still here supporting me.

How? By becoming the "actor" behind each character I like. Every time I roleplay and/or draw a character, I use some of Eddy's traits to feel comfortable in my portrayals.

In some way, he wears them like "masks of catharsis". Nothing is unfamiliar anymore with him there.

When loving a character, I indirectly love Edwin, too. No matter if he needs to interpret a hero, an antihero, or the extreme of extremes. It's always safe because I know a part of him is there.

My dearest Smokescreen, you ARE TALLER THEN THE MOST TALLEST HUMAN BY FOURTEEN FEET.

-Lord Doctor Starscream

How smol are you?

I'm 21 ft tol.

I'm tol, Anon. Taller than at LEAST 90% of humans, and probably more!

[mostly-him]

I love your stuff! The TFP meets G1 is great.

Just out of curiosity, as a fellow Screamer fan…what do you think would make Starscream cry? Any version is fine.

(My personal input: I think G1 cries about Skyfire when no one is looking. I also think he cries alone in his room when Megatron really knocks him around and hurts him badly. He tries to hide the pain from the abuse because he can’t escape and he has to put on a good face as second in command, but deep inside it’s so painful and he can only tolerate so much.

I haven’t watched Prime yet but I think TFP Screamer also cries about the abuse. He cries in bed at night, tears running down his long face, because he doesn’t know when the day will come when Megatron kills him. Also he cried when Breakdown died because he’d gotten close to Knockout and knew how bad KO must have felt-ooops that’s my Knockscream coming out lol)

Be prepare for a long answer (and maybe bad english 🤗)

Well, I think that in the case of G1 universe, Starscream is in a very fair situation. Despite Megatron being the strongest (physically speaking) of the two of them, it is usually Starscream who tends to start the conflict between the two. He is the one who is always plotting against Megatron and who tries to kill him at least once a week (sometimes it just seems like a necessity so as not to lose the habit) even when they seem to be having a good understandment. Starscream is always searching new ways to bully him, and when he finds them, obviously Megatron reacts (you can expect otherwise). But even then, scared and beggin for his life, Starscream still pushes his luck until he has to fly away from the nemesis to avoid being punished or "killed" 😆

So no, I personally don't see G1 Starscream as a victim (maybe a self-victim 🤷🏽‍♀️) but as a piece of a very complex and toxic relationship he obviously likes to feed and maintain (as much as Megatron likes it too), considering all the chances to kill Megatron he purposely missed over the millenia. To me, he is as insane as Megatron is, and they deserve each other as they are their own punishment.

Starscream is cynical and conniving, and a very intelligent character who can manipulate even the toughest of his enemies, besides being the best flier of Cybertron. But he is also very impulsive and emotional at times, and his excessive ambition and selfishness tend to blind him. That is why the decepticons haven't won the war 😆

.

Tf prime is a totally different story 😕 I think the writers took it out of Starscream without a valid argument behind Megatron being so wild with him.

Megatron brutalizes him, most of the time for no valid reasons, and that makes him a sadist who prefers to break his own soldiers than to focus his ire on his true enemies. You can't expect that a character who is always being hurt, insulted and beaten, remain sassy, proud of himself and cynical like G1 Starski does. I cring everytime I see tfp Starscream cower to not only before Megatron, but before every character that approaches him with brusque body language. He is always afraid. He is paranoid. He is terrified of everything! 😐 So I sincerely don't like his portray in the show very much despite I LOVE tfp.

I think tf prime Starscream would be the one who could cry in the solitude of his room 😬

... and G1 would totally bully him for that 😆

.

(Ohhhh, my fav tfp characters are Breakdown and Predaking. I love them so soooo much 😁)

Also, thank you so much!! 😊

[claraknight]

I get the feeling that you'd like Megatron and/or Starscream. Evil robots seem like your type.

Aha, they sure are! I never watched any Transformers media (perhaps one live action movie, but it's been so long I don't recall much from it) BUT I did come across some gifs that did get my attention. ...Especially Starscream in Transformers Prime, who gives me huuuuge Dr Nefarious vibes. x)

I mean. Look.

[risenwings]

@deathadvised

.... Well. You're a new face.

Starscream isn't concerned at all.

Jayce cold during the winter and Starscream warms her up. 💕

(Depends if you see Cybertronians as being hot due to being machines or cold due to giant cooling fans inside of them.)

Hi, anon! So happy that I can finally reach this!

Winter Fluff

Warnings: None

Word Count: 626

To put it simply, Starscream hated the winter. Personally, he never found enjoyment during the season on Earth. It was cold and miserable, and Starscream didn’t click well with either. And yet, Juniper wanted him to witness its beauty firsthand. Apparently, the season meant a lot to her. 

Who was he to deny her?

Out in the forest, blankets upon blankets of snow covered the land in a glistening glow of white. The moonlight peeked through the leaves of the trees, enveloping the woods in a shower of light. As Starscream rested his wings below a natural overhang, he watched as Juniper hopped around in the snow, diving from mound to mound as she danced in her bulky garments. Evidently, a “coat” was designed to gather warmth for humans. 

Starscream vented with a sigh, smiling at her. Despite the aches and twinges in the gears of his frame, he found her joy to be contagious. Juniper was a cheery girl, tossing various “snowballs” at him. Of course, Starscream didn’t form a counter attack. He wasn’t as foolish as to make her more cold than she already was. 

How could he tell? She was shivering.

Yes, her Cybertronian half kept her warm. For the most part, at least. Just like any Cybertronian, she was still susceptible to the harsh elements. 

Truth be told, it concerned him.

“Juniper?” 

Starscream’s voice caused her to glance at him. Her green eyes glowed bright in the night.

“Yeah, Raptor?” 

The mech’s wings twitched as he approached her, his heeled pedes sinking into the layers of snow.

“I…think it is time that we leave.” He frowned, lifting a claw and gazing down at her. “You don’t appear so well. I suggest that we go to Ratchet for a checkup.” 

The name left a taste in his mouth.

For a nanosec, Juniper shook her head. 

“What? Come on, bro. We’ve only been out here for like ten minutes…”

She was interrupted by her own sneeze. Starscream crossed his arms over his chest plating. Normally, he would grin at her. This time, however, he kept his frown of worry.

“Fine.” Juniper’s shoulders dropped in disappointment. “Let’s go.”

...

Although Starscream was now on “good” terms with the Autobot medic, he still didn’t particularly enjoy his presence. Nonetheless, he could swallow his pride for Juniper. She needed him.

In the medical bay, she rested on her tiny, soft bed, swaddled in blankets and pillows. As Ratchet tended to her vitals, Starscream loomed over his shoulder, always watching and making certain that he was performing everything accurately. Sure, Ratchet complained about it, but Starscream didn’t care. 

Finally, after a short amount of time, Ratchet leaned away from the catwalk and nodded at him.

“She’ll be fine, Starscream.” He began to make his leave, glancing behind him for a moment. “And so will you. Just allow her to rest.”

There was a slight nanosec of silence as Starscream blinked and glared. And then, he focused his attention back on the little, techno-organic human. Slowly, he used one claw to pry the blanket off her. When she realized what he was doing, she reached out for him. Starscream cradled her close in his servos, leaning back against a random medical slab to hold her. Juniper rested on his chest plating, sighing blissfully as she stared at him with a fond smile on her pale face.

Starscream chuckled at her.

“Your nose is red.” 

He touched the tip of his claw to it. In return, Juniper giggled. 

“Yeah, I’m still cold.”

The mech smiled.

“Then by all means…allow me to warm you up, Mouse.”

As Juniper pressed her cheek against his armor, Starscream drew patterns into her back. Perhaps winter wasn’t as horrible as he once thought it was.

Now that I 100% know I can have starscream anime girl in my life, I’m really torn about what other Transformers figures to get. I don’t really love the Megatron or the Bumblebee (my expectations for the Bumblebee were REALLY HIGH from the silhouette and I was kind of underwhelmed by the prototype). I like the Optimus a lot, especially the mask face, but I would feel weird just having Optimus and Starscream? I think I need to rewatch transformers to decide what to do

[pipermca]

📖

So, this idea is based heavily on the Dreamwave interpretation of Targetmasters...

At the beginning of the war (or even just before it began), Megatron and Starscream were bonded together by targetmaster technology. They are linked body and mind: Starscream as an extremely capable warrior, and Megatron as an utterly devestating weapon in his hands.

Basically, Megatron is Starscream's targetmaster.

But because of the way the tech works, if either one is injured or killed, it would have a devastating impact on the other. Megatron's rise through the Decepticon ranks, eventually becoming the leader, causes a huge amount of friction between him and Starscream. But... Because of the way they are bonded, there's not a lot either of them can do about it. (Starscream keep looking for a way to sever their bond without causing harm to himself, but the solution has proven to be very elusive.)

It's imperative that they keep their bond secret from the Autobots, however. If the enemy knew about it, they could exploit it.

Anyway, some kind of plot or shenanigans around that concept.

[z-paladin]

Thought’s on Starscream?

Me, having not technically watched any transformers but have listened to enough podcast about it: He should leave Megatron for Jetfire- he's no good for you, sweetie

Tell me tales of thy predacon oc I beg of thee

Maybe... your predacon oc and my predacon oc could be friends 🥺

I really wish I could fucking draw Sabersplit I REALLY DO. His story has changed a bit since I first created him. As of right now, he’s unsure in his current body. In IDW (the universe I usually use) Sabersplit was called Silverblitz. He was an autobot, about the size of Blurr and a speedster. However was almost killed by Starscream in battle.

Rushed to the nearest Med Bay, Silverblitz was lucky enough to be in the presence of both Wheeljack and Ratchet. TBH I’m not sure how the predacons exist in IDW but this is the story in rolling with:

Tw: mild gore, dead bodies

Silverblitz’s unconscious body was… unrecognizable. If it weren’t for the soldiers identifying him as the speedster, Ratchet would not have been able to tell him apart from a scrap heap. This was by far the worst case of mangling he had ever seen, but he was determined. He would save Silverblitz by any means. Next to him stood the autobot scientist Wheeljack. Who, fortunately, had an alternate idea.

“There’s got to be a way…” Ratchet rasps. Both mechs glance at the flickering spark and overclocked, partially cooked processor.

“There is.” Answers Wheeljack, bringing forth cables and wires. “Hurry, we don’t have long.”

The two Autobots rush to save the young mech, Ratchet doing everything he could to stabilize the fading light in Silverblitz while Wheeljack prepared the… used body. It had taken the scientist months to excavate, rebuild, and rewire the ancient Predacon’s body. It was an empty vessel from a time long past, but one that still had use yet. Wheeljack pushed the larger berth closer, and Ratchet connects the two bodies.

“We have one chance. Are you sure about this, Wheeljack?” Ratchet raises a brow. While his skilled servos were steady, the medic’s voice was not. Wheeljack places a calming servo on his friend’s shoulder.

“Absolutely. We have to give it our all.” He reassures.

With only minutes remaining before Silverblitz’s life gives out and returns to the Allspark, Ratchet finalizes the procedure and Wheeljack hits the switch.

Suddenly the medical room illuminates in an aggressive blue glow. The medic watches in horror as Silverblitz’s small frame, or what was left of it, rattles uncontrollably. Even Wheeljack is unsettled by the corpse, but he continues. Arcs of electricity shoot through the air, making the two mechs dive for cover behind a half wall. The noise in the room peaks, and with one silver-white flash, the room goes dark.

The mangled corpse fades, blue optics dimming to nothing but blank, lifeless glass. All is silent…

Ratchet hangs his head in defeat. “It didn’t work.” With a heavy sigh he puts his tools down, and Wheeljack watches with a look of languish. He knew there wasn’t a good chance of this working. But they had hoped. Wheeljack treads over to the bodies, first looking over Silverblitz, then his project.

“Ratch! Look!” Wheeljack points to the spark chamber of the Predacon. A well of blue light was starting to form in the Spark chamber of the Predacon. Speeding over quickly the Autobot medic stares at the readings on the screen. It shouldn’t be possible, yet with two great minds, it had somehow worked.

Readings rocket, the body jolts and rests once again. Silver body forgotten and past, two bright orange optics open.

“Sabersplit.”
