Headcanon time -and Megatron making an appearance

He's so frustrating I can't.

So I think that due to his spark being immortal/indestructible he has this natural fear of death. Even though he doesn't know he is immortal his body or even his mind(subconsciously or his spark) controls him when in some situations that could get him killed as he will still feel the pain of death but have to live through it over and over so it ,and in terms he, will do anything to escape that fate without realising why. And even though like "fear of death no shit" I feel like it's something that would suffocate him at the mere thought of it and he doesn't know why. Basically you get the fear and times it by a billion. This could explain why he acts so unlike himself in certain situations.

Like imagine him having full breakdowns cause he thought of ways he could die too much due to his paranoia and it physically and mentally burns as his spark will do *anything* to stop the possibility. Also could be seen as a defense mechanism, if they don't kill you how will they know they can do it again to hurt you more. Especially with Megatron cause I think he would be the reason it gets worse throughout the war as Starscream knows Megatron wants to hurt him not just kill him so when you take out the factor of death. Megatron can do whatever he wants. But Starscream isn't even aware of all this even though the affects of it are taking over his life.

The starscream brain rot be hitting hard. And I have another song idea that fits him which has turned into a character analysis as well.

'The Mind Electric' with the bits that goes

"Someone help me understand what's going on inside my mind" could be the change of Starscream's mentality due to the normalisation of his abuse and how he views it as -normal-. And if it's Skybound it could be whatever the hell Megatron did to force Starscream to kill the prisoners when he first joined.

"Doctor I can't tell if I'm not me" literally the post war Starscream being paranoid he's not the same person at all as he was before like a clone maybe and the fact that he can't form connections with anyone. And again in Skybound it's the gap between Ulchtar and Starscream.

"See how I laugh at you" resembles Starscream constant undermining of others to make him feel better due to his insecurities and also the fact that his whole life he was laughed at so he does it back similar to the "abuse cycle".

"No you'll never understand" right after that bit shows how nobody has been in his situation and nobody tried to understand or reach out to help him mentally without blaming him for it or even just completely brushing it off. Also highlights how nobody believes him when he tries to talk about the abuse (Hashtag did tho even said how she believes Megatron who she looked up to a bit ig hurt him, a complete 180 of what everyone else does and the fact that she is close to Megatron but isn't brushing it off says so much -nobody has mentioned this from what I've read which is weird cause it just shows how clear Starscream's PTSD is (also fuck Hasbro for taking it away from us)). Saying how he brought it upon himself and that he kept trying to usurp Megatron meant he deserved it. And again shows how he can't grow attachments cause nobody views him as a victim only a failure who deserves his punishment so they don't find reason behind his actions. Not trying to "understand" why he hurts people or in the songs case "laugh" at them because they don't see him as a product of abuse that needs to be cared for. Only a bot who's worse than Megatron ever was.
