“Aren’t you done yet? When are you going to be finished with my awesome plans? How long does it take to make a space bridge schematic? Are you sure you know what you’re doing???”
I figured a senior citizen could use the care of another senior citizen so
My legs… Medically, this classifies as a miracle…!
What could have caused this!? Could it be…??
Is it Friendship!?
Yes! All this time, I have shunned and shied away from what I considered a pinnacle of the autobot ideology, but now I see…!
I have become reformed through the power of friendship. It has healed my frame, and now I shall turn towards those I have wronged, to renew them with this force as I have been renewed.
Thank you, Rewind.
I shall go now, to live a wholesome, happy life, to-
i was watching an ep of s1 TFA earlier and Megatron seemed genuinely surprised that Blitzwing was so ‘unstable’, which seems odd considering Blitzwing was one of four other mechs on the entire Nemesis as far as we know so did Megatron just. not ever talk to him
so me and @artemis-crimson decided that Megatron spent most of his time on the Nemesis in ‘strategy meetings’ with starscream and that’s why he aparently never actually talked to Blitzwing long enough to realise to what extent Blitzwing is Like That
I want to see the Op/Ratch costume so badly. Megatron delights in overly dramatic speeches about hope and goodness while SW is replaying sound bites he’s recorded of Ratchet over the years
YES!
And half the soundbites are, “I needed that!” with Soundwave miming throwing his hands up despairingly.
Megatron enjoys turning even the most innocuous moments into Optimus catchphrases. Like he’s getting them drinks, and instead of just ordering, he strikes a pose and declaims, “One shall have an engex neat, and one shall have a mercury toddy with a straw!”

And then I took it way too far lmao (Bulkhead facilitates Starscream’s redemption arc):
So there’s a firefight between the deceps and the autos, Starscream gets injured so his legs are out of commission. Megatron and his generals are defeated and retreat, leaving Starscream behind.
Bulkhead, being the caring bot he is, insists that they can’t just leave him there. After a bit of negotiation which involves disabling Starscream’s guns and flight capability, Bulk convinces them to let him bring Scream back to hq.
Optimus is really on the fence about bringing Starscream back to hq, but after negotiating he reluctantly lets it happen. Prowl is absolutely not here for this but he warms up to maybe even room temperature after a while. Bumblebee thinks it’s cool that they’ve captured a decepticon, and would pick on him if he wasn’t so scary, even without guns, wings, and legs. Ratchet tries to be mean but gets very soft about him cause he’s just a kid.
Starscream wants nothing to do with the autos and the only reason he goes with them is he was literally carried. For a short while, he threatens that Megatron will come to get him, at which time the autobots will be in big trouble. But Megatron doesn’t come. After that Starscream realizes he’ll have to get out himself so he plans to step 1) gain the autobots trust, step 2) betray them, step 3) ???? and step 4) rule cybertron. Ruling cybertron sounds better than just ruling the decepticons right? (Subconsciously he’s already becoming woke)
While staying with the autobots he starts to realize a lot of things, like the deceps never cared about him and even made him into something he realizes he doesn’t want to be, but even though he’s a decepticon these autobots are treating him with respect and care? Hes entirely conflicted because decepticon ideals are all he knows, they are truth, they are law. Then why do they all seem inaccurate all of a sudden?
As days pass he starts losing the desire to betray the autobots and starts becoming even friends with both Bulkhead and Bumblebee (being their same age). He gets love and affection and validation from the autobots and learns who he is as a person and eventually entirely deserts the decepticon cause.
