Curate, connect, and discover
In all honesty I haven't seen the full movie yet, but I did see a lot of it and know the order of the scenes that I have seen, (also a LOT of the transformers side of tumbler was just the movie for me for for a long time so I learned the plot and everything from here).
I really hated the fact that starscream lost the fight while being older and more experienced then d-16/ megatron and tried to come up with an actually reasonable explanation and not just an "It was for the plot" kind of reason.
In the end (and after a LOT of time on tumbler and looking into the high guard and what happened, and fics) I managed to come up with an explanation that I actually liked and appeared to be working well with the movie and it's plot.
I am really happy you and other people like it.
Hello transformers fans.
Here is a thought I just had about transformers one. More specifically the fight between starscream and D-16/ megatron.
Do you think that the only reason as to way starscream lost the fight was because he was starving from lack of energon?
I mean, he was the leader of the high guard, he fought against the quintesons (I don't know how to write it) in the war. He also kept probably most of the high guard safe and surviving on the surface.
Yet he lost to a mach who only got his t-cog like a few hours before.
I don't know about you but for me it's weird.
So I came up with the explanation that starscream lost the fight only because he was starving himself so his soldiers and the mach under his commend won't die.
Because with the lost of their primes, their leaders, he was now technically the leader and only one incharge. So he decided that he would not disappoint his primes by kipping their army and the mach they entrusted him with safe.
Even at the exchange/ price of his own life.
