Starscream flicked a wing against a gritty wind as he turned to pace back along the edge of a new - but empty - construction zone. He’d been pacing here for a while, fuming, wings held rigid, gripping a datapad in talons clasped behind his back as he walked. At last he vented, having settled on a course of action. It wasn’t a good idea, but it was the least bad, and lowest risk.

Pausing and pressing his wings into the wind, he spoke over comms. ::Waspinator, come in. I have a job for you. Come to my coordinates immediately.::

The Seeker kept a wary eye on the rubble the crews had begun clearing before they’d contacted him and he’d ordered them to fall back. He didn’t like this at all.

((starter for @buzzerbot ))

Wazzpinator will take a few of the ruzzt stickzz off smoke-bot servozz if he hazz too many.

Absolutely! I’m giving them away! So here, have as many rust sticks as you’d like!

/Offering a handful to Waspinator!/

Dinobot hissed to himself as he surveyed his surroundings. His transmetal beast mode put him at a disadvantage when it came to blending in, but he made do with sticking to the shadows.

After the explosion on the Nemesis, where he had once again saved the same small tribe of humans, Dinobot had blacked out. When he had fallen woken up, he had quickly found that both the Predacons and the Maximals were gone. The metal raptor had his original memories back now, and it made things difficult for him while he was alone. Though he didn't want to admit it, he missed those he had began to call family.

Something nearby shifted, and it brought Dinobot back to the present. He shook his helm and continued on. The raptor was almost positive that he was the only Cybertronian left on this planet, but he still continued to search for signs of his kind.

Kickback walked into Shockwave’s lab and began searching for the scientist. Sadly, he was nowhere to be found. The Insecticon’s wings drooped lower than they had before as he turned to leave. That’s when he caught sight of a certain Wasp on one of the berths in the lab. With a sigh, Kickback turned towards him.

“Where’s Shockwave?” He asked quietly.

How'zz Wasp?

Waspinator! *hugs tightly* ...how did you get to Detroit?

Well looks like the Anons convinced him. Waspinator just going to do a quick fly by to grab that mistletoe. He was at least polite in saying “excuzze Wazzpinator”.

Starscream whirls around at the last second when he hears the sudden buzz of wings and a hasty excuse, only to almost get hit in the face by an Insecticon! Waspinator manages to grab the mistletoe sprig, but it’s stuck fast by magic, resulting in both mechs getting whiplash and nearly falling in a heap. 

Starscream recovers first, screeching some creative Vosnian swears as he straightens up. He moves to attack Waspinator for his treachery, but his frame seizes up mid-swipe. Of course. This must be part of this festive curse. Growling in frustration, he grabs and lifts the Insecticon, plants a kiss between his optics, and drops him. 

“There. Have you had your fun?” He throws in a kick for good measure.

buzzerbot replied to your post: ((okay but to be fair, if seriously EVERYONE who...

I wonder if they made blitzwing look like Starscream to be click bait or something. Though then again they would have continued keeping this a secret till the movie dropped in theatres if they were wanting to trick people. -shrug-

((I think they had no clue tbh. I think they thought everyone would go “duuuude there’s a cool looking Unknown Decepticon Jet! I wonder who it is!” and go see the movie. Not “ASDJFHGKNRLMEF;WDA,IJOVNLK IT’S STARSCREAM MY BEAUTIFUL SON! WHAT A BADASS! SO COOL! SO RED! I’M GOING TO SEE THIS MOVIE FOR MY SCREAMING SON WHO WILL PROBABLY NOT DIE THIS TIME BECAUSE HE DIES LATER!!!!” Because they genuinely have. no. clue. how much everyone loves Starscream and wants him to be in things. And not just rabid Starscream fans - in general, Transformers fans think he’s one the most fun and interesting characters, and even if they root against him he’s a character they love to see. 

I think it’s a huge marketing mistake that came from their chronic obliviousness to Starscream’s popularity, but will be seen as bait and switch by a lot of people. I think they were smart to at least reveal it now, because if they’d waited until the movie’s release, it really would have been bait and switch.))

Ooh it’zz your creation day? Happy Creation day!
