Welp, That Was An Exercise In...something.

What does Megatron mean by Starscream has his little pets?

Canon-wise, I think it was in Armada that Starscream befriended a few humans in between defecting and other plots. (It may have happened in other continuities as well )

Headcannon-wise, I've always pictured that, despite everything, Starscream is still a scientist/explorer first. When presented with a strange little planet and it's sentient life forms instead of writing them off with disgust he would be curious and want to observe them closer. It's not too far off to assume that he would eventually meet some acquaintances and later possibly become friends with them.

Megatrons comment about "Starscream's little pets" is a bit of a jab because despite Starscream thinking his visits with the humans are well hidden both Soundwave and Megatron know. (They allow to continue because Starscream is generally less backstabby afterwards)

Megatron's particular phrasing is because he can't appear to be going soft in front of his subordinates.

(not that soundwave can judge, everyone knows all of his shore-leave consists of hanging out with elephants and collecting loose children [Soundwave would argue that at least he waits until his designated leave time])

What goes around,

Comes around.

@silverskye13​'s fic Casting Rain is still the best Undertale fic I've ever read.

Here is my entry for @iacononline’s art contest. Credit goes to Frag_Raptor on twitter for character design!

Ia-con online is a for fans by fans event that is going down on the 30-31 of January. It’s a pretty cool deal so if you wanna check it out the link is below:

Where's the fic where Megatron shows up to a secluded mining town intending to take over (harvest the coal for energon, cause general mayhem, destroy the place as he leaves so the autobots can't use it later[ya know, the usual]) but before he can do that he notices the similarities to his previous occupation and how bad the working conditions are and just goes "no, I'm fixing this"

He gets rid of the previous management and sets up a fair labor deal with the workers to send the coal to the decepticons in exchange for proper payment, supplies, and use of cybertronian technology to improve safety standards.

Megatron makes sorta vauge threats about staying loyal/the consequences of engaging with autobots but the humans don't mind because most of his visits to "ensure they are staying true to their word" ends up with him at someone's house having a quiet conversation late into the night about politics and workers rights.

Late at night when Soundwave encounters Megatron slipping back onto the nemesis:

"Soundwave: has query"

"Don't start. Starscream has his little pets, I am allowed this"

------

Megatron to the humans: *Krog voice* hey man, wanna join my revolution?

I was making this as part of a thank you to my instructors and at some point sat back and realized the picture looked oddly familiar.

Turns I out I drew something of similar form 4 years ago which is when I started at the school I’m currently graduating from.

It nice to see that while I have adapted, changed, and grown over the past years, I’m still essentially the same person I was then. 🧡

My alt mode is a tough one, I'm a bit indecisive so I'd probably go with being a triplechanger but then have clashing alt modes like a submarine and a helicopter 😆

And my transformers name? Welp, say hello to an insomniac named Daybreak!

And that is when Ravage decided they hated this planet

Sherlock: Yes. I know I can be a little insensitive at times- John interrupting: OH, it’s just a LITTLE now is it?!

Sherlock: BUT, *stares pointedly* I am actively working on bettering my responses to these acute displays of emotions you seem so fond of and I would appreciate it if you ceased in your constant disregard for my efforts!

Mary sidles up: ~~so, *raised eyebrows* would that make us your passion project?

Sherlock:  ... -Don't patronize me woman.
