Can we talk about how Starscream’s response to total failure (of the everything’s-burning-down-around-me variety) is to get on the ground and shut down? He’s done this at least three times so far.
(This is usually the part where someone shows up to beat him unconscious)
I thought of something even worse, and it’s that all the cold-constructed have a base-level behavioral loop that goes something like, “I see you’ve fucked up everything! Stay still and someone who knows what they’re doing will be along to deal with you shortly, you miserable failure. :)”
