Soundwave and Shockwave then proceed to knock them out lol
DAY 501
{LOG 181} Being apart from his trine has affected Jasper much more deeply than we thought. But it appears that the presence of others has provided a much-needed distraction. Good, we can't afford to lose Jasper to the glitch. (Not him, not him, not him- please, I can't go through this again-) - Silver
{THE GLITCH}
This phenomenon impacts its victims by causing them to experience a glitch-like state, similar to a malfunctioning computer. Individuals may suffer from distorted and disorganized physical and mental functions, leading to a range of symptoms, including irregular visual and auditory perceptions, as well as a loss of sensation in the extremities.
The likely reason is that the codes of living and the codes of the void are in conflict, resulting in unbearable pain. This pain is intensified by trauma, fear, and rage.
I FINALLY MADE A REFERENCE FOR THEM!!
Maroon, Jasper and Silver belong to me :D
This is what would have happened to Starlight if he attacked Maroon instead of Silver XD
Silver does not, and I mean DOES NOT, tolerate anyone trying to attack Maroon and Jasper
Starlight Starscream belong to @barbie--art (Sorry Starlight 😂)
The bees are very interested in these Starscreams (That is NICE?!!!)
LWRB Bee belongs to @pospoets (bro is trying so hard not to jump these Starscreams XD)
LWRB! Bee could not handle being surrounded by all these Starscreams XD
LWRB Bee belongs to the one and only @pospoets

"World's Apart" Part 1
{500 YEARS AGO...}
Ah crap- Looks like Maroon made a mistake
Silver and Maroon belong to me
Edit: I made some changes to the faces :P
Cats!!! CATS EVERYWHERE-!!!
Fun fact! Some humans fall in the void as well, most end up injured but luckily no one died.
A lot of humans took a liking to the gang thanks to the fact that the Starscreams helped them :D The overall favorite seems to be Jasper since he seemed to be the least intimidating out of the three XD
Though they do like to bother Silver a lot just cause he reminds them of an tired but fun uncle. Maroon’s the designated napping spot for the humans since he’s really warm.
(Some context on why Jasper is so angry at Shockwave :P)
Jasper does not like Evil Dad Shockwave—not in the slightest—especially after Shockwave starts rambling about what he wants to do with his Bumblebee.
[Thank God Empurata Bee and Evil Shockdad never met, cause that would be a disaster :V]
(Jasper is not gonna allow another Empurata Bee to exist, not if he has any say in it)
(Though what he says doesn't really matter now does it? :)
Evil Shockdad Shockwave belongs to @pritong-baboy
Empurata Bee belongs to @yuukirita
Jasper, Silver and Maroon Starscream belongs to Me :D
VOP!! :D (Jasper forgot that Starlight isn't used to being teleported LOL). Sorry about the blood there Starlight!!
It looks like this isn't the first time Silver and Maroon have had a 'talk' :)
Starlight Starscream belongs to @barbie--art
Silver, Jasper and Maroon Starscream belong to me!
Uh oh, wonder what Maroon is up to...
Starlight Starscream belongs to @barbie--art

“Breaking the cycle”
Have a sketch idea of a scene lol
Silver, Jasper and Maroon Starscream belong to me!
(Decided to try colouring them in black and white, kinda enjoyed it)
Maroon and Silver just watched "Fire in the Sky". Maroon has acquired new blackmail material.
Silver, Jasper and Maroon Starscream belong to me!
Maroon is not impressed with the newcomer. Jasper is feeling a sense of deja vu, and Silver just wants everything to be normal for one day.
(Sorry Silver. That ain't happening :P)
It looks like Maroon has some news to say about Starlight
Starlight Starscream belongs to @barbie--art
Silver, Jasper and Maroon Starscream belong to me!
Oh hey! Welcome back, Maroon!!
Jasper is just vibing (where did he get the popcorn?? He has no idea, but hey! Jasper ain’t complaining about free snacks)
Silver is so so done about these two
Starlight Starscream belongs to @barbie--art
Silver, Jasper and Maroon Starscream belong to me!
This is why Silver and Maroon don't let Jasper near Starscream Au's, he has too much fun 'helping' them 'let it out'
Though Maroon does find it entertaining, Silver is way too tired to deal with the tantrum that will follow
Starlight Starscream belongs to @barbie--art
Silver, Jasper and Maroon Starscream belong to me!
G1 Starscream: Remain CALM! *slaps Tfp Starscream multiple times*
——//——
G1 Starscream: I have a bad feeling about this...
Tfa Starscream: What do you mean?
G1 Starscream: Don't you ever get that little voice in your head that tells you if you're going to get into trouble?
Tfa Starscream: No?
Tfp Starscream: That actually explains so much.
—-//-/
Tfa Starscream: All of your existences are confusing.
Tfp and G1: How so?
Tfa Starscream: Your presence is annoying, but the thought of anything bad happening to any of you upsets me.
——:://—/
Tfa Starscream: My toxic trait is that I truly believe I could win a fight against anybody if I was mad enough. You might have the strength and size, but I have the pure, unfiltered rage.
://///——:://
Tfp Starscream: If karma doesn't hit you, I fucking will.
///::::///
G1 Starscream: Isn't it amazing how I can feel so bad and still look so good?

Tfp Starscream: Why did you guys dress up as each other for Halloween?
Tfa Starscream: G1 Starscream is the scariest thing I could think of!
G1 Starscream: Tfa Starscream told me I should pick the dumbest costume possible.
Tfp Starscream: I’m surrounded by morons….
——————/
G1 Starscream: I have met some of the most insufferable people. But they also met me.
Tfa and Tfp Starscreams:……That’s true for all for us idiot-
////————///
G1 Starscream: Hey, quick question. How petty am I allowed to be?
//////———___||||
Tfa Starscream: I learned a valuable lesson from this.
Tfp Starscream: I’m guessing they are all horrible distortions on the lesson you actually should’ve taken away…
Tfa Starscream: DEATH ISN’T REAL AND I AM BASICALLY GOD!
(He’s gonna regret that sentence)
||||||__________\\\\\\
Tfp Starscream: I am strong! I beat G1 Starscream at arm wrestling!
Tfa Starscream: Anyone can beat G1 Starscream at arm wrestling!
G1 Starscream: Hey-
::::://////———
G1 Starscream: It has become increasingly obvious!! I can deny it no longer!!
*Stands next to Tfa and Tfp* I am small
////——-///
G1 Starscream: I wish I was a dinosaur.
Tfp Starscream: Why? Cause they're big and scary?
G1 Starscream: Because they're dead.
———-:,)——-
Tfa Starscream: What? I'm not aggressive!
Tfp Starscream: Last Tuesday, you wacked me with a pair of crocs and stole my chocolate chips?
Tfa Starscream: Survival of the fittest, bitch.
{SILVER USES COMMUNICATE!!}
Hopefully, things will turn out okay before Starlight fully glitches, we wouldn't want that now, do we? ;)
Starlight! Starscream belongs to @barbie--art
Silver, Jasper and Maroon Starscream belong to me!
When Starscream was carrying, did he have to go through any of the organic-esque problems? (i.e. cravings, mood-swings, tender spots? If so, he must've worked Skyfire to the wire.)
Plus did he ever feel something equivalent to kicks? (Spark flares for protoforms? idk).
Yeah, you can say that he did have cravings. (Tho most of the time he didn't know what he craved, and before Sky let it drive him insane, he just accepted his new reality.)
As for the "kicks", they were more like shocks of static/electricity, and Star suffered them often. Sky would often talk to them and swore the little shock were them answering to him.
And the kids being mixed did not help either. Starscream felt like he was carrying a sack of canonballs inside his cockpit, so flying only got harder from there. Sky would offer to carry him if Star ever got tired of walking (which was often.)
Oops!! Turns out, landing in the void isn't exactly a fun experience huh, Starlight :D
(I'm still figuring out how to draw TFP :,)

Context: G1 Megatron sent Starscream to get this tape in hollywood to get rid of their crimes (like thats going to do anything) and Starscream did get it! Problem is; Hollywood has backup tapes
So when Megatron found out that Starscream ‘failed’ to get the tapes…he ripped out his throat…I wish I was joking
((TFA and TFP will NEVER let this go, they will torment him with this fact for the rest of his life lololol)
(You can tell when I started becoming lazy lolololol)
Why did I do this to myself......?
So, I have this thought of an au for a while, where the war never happened but the world is littered with anomalies, entities and all that jazz, right? And Megatron, is just a normal mech, with a normal life, being friends with "normal" people and finding their newly crowned Prime off. Oh! He also gets these cool abilities that I have yet to properly set down-
If you have any ideas on what I should do with this story! Or questions! Let me know! Have fun!
_______________________
Megatron knows that he special he has always known this. How could he not? From a young age, he could instinctively distinguish between a walking glitch of a fake and an actual mecha. It was as if his optics had been calibrated to detect the unseen threads of the universe. Shadows danced at the edges of his vision, and he always had the gnawing sense that something lurked just beyond his peripheral awareness. Not that he cared. In fact, he barely gave it a second thought.
Megatron has always known that he has abilities, that he has a gift. He knew this. He could see what others couldn’t. Yet, for the longest time, he refused to acknowledge it, treating it as little more than an inconvenient quirk. That was, until he befriended a few of those shadowy entities that liked to pass themselves off as part of the mortal world. He never really minded—they weren’t doing him any harm, again, he barely cared.
They are attracted to Megatron's gift, I mean, who wouldn't? Having the ability to sniff out someone's bull is pretty helpful.
You see, Megatron grew up in Kaon, and growing up in Kaon, which was and is a place dripping with superstition, Megatron had heard his share of horror stories: the dark, Unicron’s spawns, Primus’ Youngs, and the whispers of what prowled in the shadows. These tales were used to scare younglings into good behavior.
Megatron himself had his fair share of those stories, although, some of the elders do love to exaggerate those stories.
He likes it, not because it makes it creepy. He didn’t find them scary—he found them funny, mostly because of his friends. For reasons he still couldn’t quite fathom, his closest companions growing up were a spark eater, a ghoul, and a demon. Hearing their outrage over the inaccuracies in these tales was endlessly entertaining.
“You can’t eat a spark like that,” Starscream, the spark eater, would hiss in annoyance whenever he hears these ridiculous stories . “Why do they always describe it like I’m slurping energon soup? There’s nuance!”
“Ghouls: do not hide under berths: waiting to snatch younglings” deadpanned Soundwave, the ghoul, glaring at Megatron. “Soundwave: not a sterotype: Stories; exaggerated”
And Shockwave, the demon of the group would just simply twitch in annoyance.
And unlike Iacon, who rarely has anything to do with superstitions and such beliefs were dismissed as primitive nonsense. (or as media likes to portray it). Kaon has plenty, it thrived on superstition, unlike Iacon, If Kaon had a museum for the supernatural, it would probably need its own skyscraper.
Megatron can attest to it, as stated before, he is friends with some of the horrifying entities that the tales always tell. Not only that, He’d had his share of encounters with those dark forces, not all of them pleasant. Most of the time, it ended in one of three ways: a fight, a frantic escape, or an unsettling brush with death. The only reason Megatron was still functioning was thanks to his friends, who often bailed him out of tight spots to save his arf.
Yet despite all of this, Megatron barely cares.
He doesn't do much, than work at his boring office job, visit his friends and reassure them that he is well, one of the literally lives in Vos! But at least his trip is always payed, courtesy to his friend. Outside of that? His life is completely barren and uneventful.
That is, until he met the new Prime that goes by the name Optimus Prime. Not, met met him, more like saw him in the holos and the streets during the coronation parade. He didn't wanna be there to be honest, but Starscream wanted to be there, he was in town for royal duties as the Prince of Vos and he wanted to Megatron to hang out with him, that isn't the mech's lonely apartment or Soundwave's house, or Shockwave's lab.
And Megatron, is a friend, so Megatron decided to go with Starscream, begrudgingly of course.
When Megatron first laid his optics on the New Prime, he immediately sensed something was off, and he can tell that Starscream noticed too, yet he seem calm, which was odd. Normally, Starscream would have been on high alert, his predatory instincts kicking in. But this time? He wasn’t reacting defensively. That wasn’t exactly a good sign, isn't a bad one either.
Spark eaters tend to have heightened senses, they have the ability to sniff out their pray, and they have the ability to semi manipulate the perception of others, making it easy for them to blend in. If Starscream wasn’t threatened, that meant whatever this “off” thing was, it wasn’t something Starscream recognized as dangerous—or perhaps it was something he couldn’t categorize at all.
Megatron looks at the Prime, observing him closely. Their newly crowned Prime seems nice, he speaks very confidently yet softly, a leader with stern yet does not weild his fist to cage those around him. He spoke to the crowd with warmth, crouched to address younglings optic-to-optic, and carried himself with an air of calm authority.
Megatron….he knows there is something wrong, something off with the Prime. Megatron could feel it, like static in his circuits. He wanted to dig deeper, to pull at the threads of this mystery. But before he could, Starscream interrupted.
Megatron has to put those thoughts into a file and store it for later to entertain his friend. A bored Starscream always never ends well.
Soundwave can attest to that.
So Megatron talks to Starscream as they watch the parade from the distance in the balcony of Starscream's fancy hotel. They watch as the Prime mingle with the civilian, as he interacts with the younglings with such care.
“Ugh. Look at that pompous mech!” Starscream sneered, slumping dramatically in his chair.
Megatron arched an optic ridge. “What are you talking about? He seems fine.”
“Fine? Look at him, so pristine, so proper!” Starscream gestured wildly at the balcony railing. “He’s too sweet. It’s disgusting. He’s practically dripping syrup on those younglings!”
"Shouldn't I be the one making complaints here? I'm the one who's gonna get affected if his rule is slag" Megatron quipped dryly, already dreading the new rules and laws that will be set if this Prime is like the other ones before him.
“Oh, please.” Starscream waved him off. “If it were up to you, you’d just brood in silence and not say a word.”
“I would, actually,” Megatron muttered. “Besides, you’re the one verbally attacking your own kind right now.” He pointed out, wanting to immediately change the topic, for all that is stands in this world, Starscream is right, he would probably just brood in silence, rules kept him safe after all.
Starscream makes a disgruntled noise. "That thing down there, is far from being my kin."
Megatron grows confuse, he looks at Starscream. "What do you mean?"
Starscream’s wings twitched irritably as he leaned back in his chair. “That thing down there is not my kin.”
That got Megatron’s attention. He turned to Starscream, optics narrowing.
Starscream huffed, clearly annoyed he had to explain. “Look at him! He’s too…off. Too stiff to be a spark eater, too mellow to be a ghoul. His frame doesn’t match anything I recognize. And his voice?” Starscream shuddered theatrically. “It’s wrong. It’s too nice. No one’s voice is that…perfect.”
Megatron frowned, glancing back at the Prime. Now that Starscream mentioned it, he can see more of the odd things about him. The balance of his movements, the precision of his words, the faint flicker of something beneath the surface—it didn’t quite add up.
Huh… Yeah, he can kinda see that now.
