“Why’d you do it Knockout?”

“Why’d you turn against Starscream?”

YES! I have been waiting to see a photset like this! THANK YOU!

Abusive relationships are bad, mmkay?

See this makes me feel bad for both of them because I see Starscream lashing out at Knock Out because he can’t lash out at Megatron (I forget what that psychological term is but it’s where you get angry at someone when you’re angry at someone else) and/or possibly Screamy just being conditioned to think that this is how leaders act

@shocktrooper-redstreaker is this what you are looking for? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_(psychology)#Aggression

Starscream’s got /that/ going on along with Decepticon culture (probably part of where he gets the idea of how a leader acts) mixed in with his psychological issues – which I think are partly his personality, and partly the effect of the dynamic he has with Megatron. And nobody sufficient is around to teach him what he’s doing is self-destructive or to get through to the guy in a way his ego and emotions would allow. So he is abused and he abuses. The pain goes right down the chain.

I love Transformers Prime, because it’s a well made cartoon about abuse dynamics, war, and suffering.
