I am reposting this image because guess what?! He's now Starscream for Transformers Omnicode! HA HA!!! And uh... he's traumatized. Most Starscreams are traitorous bitches, well mine? Nope. He's loyal to the end, but moreover he cares for his fellow Decepticons and even some Autobots. But he's also VERY traumutized. You see after an accident in Shockwave's lab, he was able to see the ENTIRE TRANSFORMERS MULTIVERSE. So he saw versions of him, trying to kill Megatron, align themselves with Unicron, and even try and kill many of their fellow Decepticons. OC!Starscream couldn't handle that, so now he has to go to therapy. While he can now see the Multiverse at any time, he is usually found afterwards saying the simple phrase: "I am not like them, I am NOT them..."

I have yet to decide if this is a new Transformers OC OR if it's my Starscream design for Transformers Omnicode. But uh YEAH! Have this fella!

Did something a little experimental with a new art medium. I’ve never used acrylic markers before so I’m sorry if it looks off. But! I posted the promotional art on time for once lmao!!

“To be a KING, means drowning in your subjects blood.

A SOLDIER, drowns in the blood of their comrades.

A POET, drowns in their own blood.

I know what it means to drown in all THREE, my hands have never once been clean.”

I redrew something I made in 2023, it was bothering me a fair bit… so I hope I’ve improved from then! Also, sorry I’ve been so quiet lately, I’ve been working on this Transformers fic for some time and I think I’m almost ready to start posting! More stuff to be posted, bye!!

I may have brain rot…

WARP NATION!!!

I bring you a present! Starring Starscream, who’s painting Skywarp’s little freckles on to make sure he’s extra cute!

Happy Warp Wednesday everyone!

Don’t mind me, just gonna post my version of Starscream feeling pain… mostly because I’m proud of the pose and the facial expression.

Also I’ve been having pains in my wrists and neck so this was a little cathartic.

[Here is part 1 and part 2 of this idea. Please read both of these before continuing on.]

He didn't even register this fist slamming into Starscream's face until he hear the jet's back slam into the wall behind him. As the sound reverberated in Megatron's audials, he could only stare in horror as he watched Starscream pick himself back up and bring a hand to his face, energon coating his digits. Megatron took a step forward, his anger quickly fading away into horror as he realized what he'd just done. He reached out, an apology on his lips. "Starscream, I.." Starscream only turned away, his expression was morphed into one that the ex-warlord had been unable to properly decipher in the moment. Starscream just let out a heavy vent and returned to laying on the berth in the brig, quietly speaking one last time. "It's just as I thought... you'll never change... just leave me alone. Let me rust away in peace." Megatron felt himself at a loss for words, all he could bring himself to do was comply with Starscream's demands and leave him in the brig. The words uttered by his former second in command, digging their way into his spark. As Megatron left the brig and made his way to the main deck of the ship, he was left coming to terms with all the events that had just transpired. His gaze rested upon his fist, his tanks churning when he saw the faint traces of Starscream's energon on his knuckles. One thing that didn't add up to Megatron had been Starscream's expression. The jet's expression was not one of smug pride that he got under Megatron's plating again, it wasn't one that was happy to be right about his former leader's attempts to atone... no. Starscream's expression had been one of disappointment and slight bitterness. Megatron continued to walk, thinking about the entire interaction that would have brought reason for Starscream making such an expression. He stopped in his tracks when he finally realized it. 'Bots like us don't change... anyone that says so is fooling themself.' Starscream wanted to be wrong, wanted what he said to not be true. He wanted Megatron to be a changed bot, because if he was then it meant Starscream's belief in being unable to change was false. If Megatron was capable of changing, capable of not lashing out at Starscream's responses, then he would have proven Starscream wrong... and that in turn would have led Starscream to believe there was hope for him to be capable of changing too. To be more than Starscream the duplicitous backstabber. But Megatron reacted with violence towards Starscream again, and to Starscream that was enough to believe that there was no hope for either of them. Megatron never felt more defeated.

[Click here to read the first part to this idea]

When Megatron enters Starscream's cell, he only briefly gets the other's attention before a bitter laugh escapes the jet. "Well if this isn't a familiar scenario..." Megatron doesn't find the humor in it. "You've holed yourself away again, Starscream." Starscream could only weakly scoff in turn, his once pristine frame creaked with rust as he moved. "And I suppose you're here to beat me within an inch of my life again... to tell me what a miserable failure I am as a leader. So cut whatever righteous speech you have planned and let's just get it over with." Megatron was taken aback, so Starscream still expected to be beaten. He didn't think the former Decepticon leader was capable of being good, of being redeemed. Something about this fact made Megatron's tanks churn as he continued to talk, his voice soft and gentle as he spoke to Starscream. "Do you really believe I am still the same person I was before?" There was just something about this scenario that made Megatron crave Starscream acknowledging his change. Megatron couldn't quite pin down why it felt so important to him that Starscream would see he was no longer the tyrant of their past. He wanted Starscream to look upon him and see that change. But Starscream never looked over at him like that, and instead he let out a mocking laugh. It didn't sound like most of Starscream's usual laughs though, this one sounded strained as he shook his head and covered his face as he finally turned to face the man behind all of his abuse and pain. His lips were twisted into a mix between a snarl and a grin, his sharp denta glinted slightly in the low-light of the brig's holding cell. "Oh save it Lord Megatron. I know that deep down, you don't believe you're worthy enough for that badge on your chest. Bots like us don't change... anyone that says so is fooling themself." A sharp digit pointing towards the red Autobot badge on Megatron's chest. He was angry to relent that Starscream was right, despite everything he'd done aboard the Lost Light, Megatron still didn't believe himself worthy of wearing the badge. He felt old rage begin to bubble back up to the surface, Starscream had that influence on people. He always seemed capable of reading a bot and being able to pick at a scab that never seemed to heal right. No matter how much time had passed, Starscream always seemed to know what ate away at Megatron's spark. He never seemed to shut up once he found it either. But he wouldn't let Starscream get under his plating, not this time. Not even when every fibre of Megatron's being wanted to punch the other in the mouth. He was better than that now, he would prove that to Starscream once and for all. And ever observant, Starscream pointed out the larger bot's tension and gestured to Megatron's entire being. "You forget, we fought together for millions of years. Even now I can tell the minute details of your body language, I can see you wish to punch me. To beat me and have me screaming for mercy, well no more. I'm tired, so either get your catharsis in, or let the rust eat away at me. I. Don't. Care." Megatron continued to tell himself, that Starscream couldn't get under his plating anymore. He wasn't the same bot that Starscream knew from before. He was better now.

"Even that lousy Bee knew I was a lost cause... not even he was as delusional." Everything seemed to stop for Megatron there, it was one thing for Starscream to badmouth him; it wasn't anything that the ex-warlord hadn't heard before. But now Starscream was mocking the memory of the kind autobot that Megatron was proud to call his friend, the bot primarily responsible for Megatron seeing the faults in his actions! That was taking it too far. [Tumblr is not happy about the size of this idea, lemme split it up again.] [Part 3]

I gotta get this outta my brain.

I keep imagining what could have been if like IDW Starscream, ruler of Cybertron, lost his leadership position earlier on and his sentencing was to join Megatron on the Lost Light. The idea from the new leadership on Cybertron is that Megatron would get rid of Starscream and so they could just kill two birds with one stone. Starscream lingers mostly to the more isolated parts of the ship, barely interacting with anyone, but somehow always being dragged to the brig for something going wrong on the ship. It gets to the point where Starscream doesn't even come out of the brig holding cells when it's offered to him, he just wants them to leave him there to rust. Of course that information is quick to make it back to Rodimus, Ultra Magnus, and Megatron. They're a mix of trying to figure out what to do in this situation. Rodimus I could see him either being a-ok with Starscream staying there or he could believe they need to work at Starscream since Megatron was just as bad as Starscream and he turned out okay, Ultra Magnus is more on the 'leave him there' side given Starscream's criminal record, but Megatron is mixed about what to do. Megatron doesn't enjoy Starscream being on the ship, being in the space that he managed to make for himself and finally begin to work on himself. But he also knows that he himself wasn't good to Starscream and feels a sense of deja-vu hit him when he hears from Ravage that Starscream is self-isolating and wasting away. Similar to all those years ago when Starscream led the Decepticons for 3 years only for the crew to resort to cannibalism. It's a chance for Megatron to do the same situation, but differently. To show Starscream that the ex-warlord has changed. So Megatron goes to the brig and decides to speak with Starscream alone. [Sorry but this idea became too big for a single post, I'll link the second part which is the little snippet I wrote for this.]

[Part 2]

To be a King means to drown in the blood of your people.

To be a Soldier means to drown in the blood of your comrades.

And to be a Poet means to drown in your own blood.

I have done all three, my hands have never once been clean.

A little piece I made because I couldn’t get the imagery of Starscream standing in a pool of energon out of my head haha. I feel as though I could have done better tho so maybe I’ll redraw it again sometime in the future haha!

What happens when you’re out on your ass, looking where your life went wrong…

And you come to the conclusion that you’ll always be alone because if you don’t lose your loved ones in accidents, you make them hate you enough to hurt you, or you hurt them yourself.

You lay there, laying in your energon, battered and bloody. And you realize…

You’re alone again.

So yeah! Made this and I hope you like it! This isn’t a vent, it’s simply something I made after listening to “Chamber of Reflection”

It would be so funny if unicron was kind of chill (I think that there is lore why he has to be evil if I remember but let's forget about cannon). And in terms of how that would affect Megatron and Starscream.

Megatron after taking dark energon: YES UNICRON'S POWER IS MINE

??: Oh not you I don't like you

Megatron: Who's there and how dare you insult me!?

Unicron: It is I the ruler of the Quintes -it's obviously me Unicron you just snorted my blood you unfunny mech. Seriously if you're going to be evil you need some intelligence at the very least.

And with Starscream (cause of the times he gets haunted by him).

Starscream: Stupid Megatron and his stupid plans

Unicron: Totally agree

Starscream: Primus is that you

Unicron: No it's his evil brother Unicron

Starscream: Oh okay

Starscream: WAIT!

Me after using my last wish to triple rent for single mothers of 4.

Suddenly remembers Armada Starscream: NOO NOOOOOO NOOOOOO PLEASE I DIDN'T MEAN TO AHHHHHHHHH

Starscream undergoing his redemption arc

Windblade: Okay Starscream what have we learnt today

Starscream: Being a narcissist is wrong

Bumblebee: FINALLY WE D-

Starscream: Cause only I'm allowed to be one

Bumblebee & Windblade: Ffrrrraaaaaaggg

I have this little headcanon that sometimes some of Starscream's limbs just randomly fall of cause there's only so much one can endure without their body completely failing. And due to the extensive damage he can't feel it so he doesn't realise.

Like he's trying to act cool posing and all and then clank he's arm is on the floor.

My dad's beef with Starscream

Me: Why do you hate Starscream

Dad: I don't hate him

Dad: I LOVE EATING CHICKENS

Me: Bro what

Context my dad refers to him as a chicken 20 times a day (if I'm lucky)

Being a transformer fan is terrible and embarrassing in biology cause the words mean SMT completely different in the fandom

-

Teacher: This is the heart and inside it has these things called valves here's a close up to them

Me who's seen all the things said about what people want to do to the characters: THE WHAT!?

I headcanon that Armada Starscream can't read properly and even then the only words he can read are apart of battle strategies.

And then in Cybertron Starscream learns literally every language (speaking, writing, reading being absolutely perfect) that exists cause he remembers how he barely knew one and it's super humiliating.

Pidgeonscream, the ultimate lifeform

Birdformers but it's just a normal bird with the cybertronian head.

The little murder that I love

Don't remember doing this but it's cute, he's cute so it's alright.

Skyfire freshly out of the ice trying to learn about Starscream's life during the war and asks a stupid question

Skyfire: So what's your body count?

Starscream: Like millions if you count all those organics

Skyfire: HOLY PRIMUS YOU'RE A WHORE!!!

Starscream: THE PIT YOU MEAN WHOR- oh you meant how many people I fragged I thought how many I killed.

Skyfire: Thank primus, I was worried for you right t-

Skyfire: WAIT
