It's alright I say with a suspisiously Skybound Starscream animatic WIP shape in my bag.
Also snatches song.
Seriously this is so cool even though it's a wip.
WIP animatic ill never finish 😔
I can't help but see Skybound Starscream as someone who'd jump on bodies and masses of energon as if they were puddles like a toddler.
And now I can't help but think of the pepa pig song but about Starscream and murder.
Like those videos with the persons face just photoshopped on top and out of pocket narrative.
This is such an out of pocket crossover.
But it's just Starscream
Is it bad that I think of him in everything. I think not.
I feel like Sg would hate Skybound at the beginning but slowly come to the realisation of his situation and start integrating himself as an older brother/ proper father figure trying to guide him away from the path his abusive father figure (Megatron) forced upon him.
Edit: just realised the colour for Omni mark match sg starscream
So Starscream is around 25 ish in human years in G1 and you take away the war he was definitely around 17 when he joined the war and lost Skyfire. Now when you're 17 you'll be in college/university and I think that's similar to the Cybertron thing in G1 the show.
Starscream goes on an exploration with Jetfire away from Cybertron and I'd like to think you have to be a certain age requirement and qualification to pass and G1 Starscream did go but in Skybound when Skyfire leaves Starscream doesn't go with him and he's seen as if following Skyfire's carer path. So he's definitely in his early teens and he didn't join the war in the beginning so he's been fighting for less than 200 years (which might be around 3 years in human terms except these guys age faster when they are younger)
So whilst G1 Starscream may be young Skybound is even younger and with my idea of Starscream and Ulchtar being a split personality with no memories of the other Starscream is mentally a 11 year old whose first action was killing and in total he would probably be around 12/15.
Thank you for joining my ted talk.
Ulchtar in his head throwing up, crying and screaming: NOOOOOO HOW COULD YOU DO SUCH A THING KYS NOWWW
Ulchtar was shown to love bugs so I feel like he would have absolutely loved the humans and animals and would find ravage cute.
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.
Or this version
The way it's like 'get real' is just so childish to me I can't stop giggling. I guess it's another reason to add to my Starscream is a angsty young teen list.
Also the insult is literally like teenage movie insults you can't lie.
I know everyone and their mom is posting this saying about the bitch part but I'm still going to have my say.
Little Skybound Starscream Character analysis or breakdown of SMT that I saw nobody mention. Bear with me.
So the basics are - Starscream was first Ulchtar and changes name after his friend died and his eyes also turned red. So we have that down but if you look at the words Starscream says
'My name is Starscream' but also when we learn he is still alive after his fight with soundwave he says
'Starscream that's my name' which mirrors the words when he changed his name. Also it's more of a reassurance that that truly is his name but there's nobody around so the one he's trying to convince is himself. If that's not enough he chose his name from Genvo's last words and in the picture above he is saying them again to Genvo's first words that we as readers hear. (So that gives a lot more depth and it may not seem that much but further down it does help tie some ideas together.)
Also in this scene it could be viewed as Starscream arguing against the voice he hears almost as if he doesn't remember that he had a different name before and is probably why he himself hasn't brought it up afterwards because to him it was a hallucination that got his name wrong. Or it could simply be him not wanting to remember it as he knows the last him would regret what he has turned into. But I do think he might have forgotten some things if the past at least and that may be due to Megatron but I'll do that part in a different post.
So my point is - Ulchtar and Starscream are not 'exactly' the same person they are like different points in life but instead of it being like a sequel it's more like an entire reset to the story.
Sorry if my writing is bad I'm literally a kid and tho I cook in my English writing NOW it was not without failing really badly I EVEN CHEATED MAN.
But I spotted the name thing out as I first saw it and I connected the dots and it did in fact almost make me cry but is anyone going to see this.
NOOOOO!
Thanks for the 250 likes. This is the little idea I've been having for a while. Skybound starscream my beloved they could never make me hate you (annoyed most definitely tho).
The words are inspired by the song below cause I thought it really fits this version of them.
First time drawing Megatron and I swear he's just ugly like that not because of my drawing. Anyway I'm trying to find references to continue more work but it's proving to be difficult.
Hopefully I'll find a way to turn this into a video or digital.
