i think im starting to notice you like drawing teeth

not a bad thing, i just like how you draw em and noticed you do it a lot

Jk teeth are just so much fun guys XD

Unblur ver.

[cbsblossom]

how do you think they would handle the official naming scheme of the universal streams, what vector prime calls em. (ie. "Primax 984.17 Alpha" is the name for G1.)

like following the scheme, think it would be like Primax 225.15 Iota for your g1 starscream since that's the first time you drew em i think. maybe gamma? and switching out Primax to Malgus for TFA and Uniend for TFP.

idk this is very irrelevant and probably much more confusing then just calling them universe 5000 and stuff, just think its funny there is an official thing for it that sounds needlessly complicated in relevance to how the 3 call their own universes.

Well, you’re right! The ORIGINAL Original G1 is named Primax 984.17 Alpha, etc. BUT The numbers in the trio’s profile aren’t the names of their universes, it’s the number of what version of the original they are.

Like for Jasper, he didn't wanna refer to himself as Primax 984.17 Version 5500. So they just went with what version they are.

In merciful lie, what was jasper trying to do when he built the portal?

Back in his universe, Shockwave basically took over Jasper’s area/lab to build a portal so that they could easily travel all over the world, and possibly even to the Autobots base.

Jasper despised this and confronted Megatron, who dared him to even try to make a portal that could encompass even a fraction of what Shockwave could make. Jasper took up this challenge and well…

He made the portal too good, so to speak.

Okay, I'm going to try and answer as much as I can lol.

Silver’s optics change is a way for me to visualize how he’s changing mentally. When he first arrived, he would have 100% left Jasper behind to Maroon’s wrath, but he doesn’t want to do that anymore. He wanted to prevent another Starscream from suffering the same fate he did with Megatron.

Even if his actions are good, that doesn’t mean they’ll be rewarded. Especially not in here.

Bold of you to assume that the Allspark's presence made things better.

Got it in one! And well, I’m not sure if I portray it well since I haven’t posted many comics from their first few years in the void, so I’ll explain it in more detail here.

--------

If you look at my comics, you can kind of see a dynamic change in the group compared to the first few years vs how they currently are.

Maroon started out as the most reckless one in here, and the other two had to stop him each time. But these days it’s a complete switch; now it’s Maroon who has to keep the other two in line while they wreak havoc amongst the visitors, as technically speaking, yes. Maroon is still the strongest out of the three, but it doesn’t help much when the other two have mastered the wonderful powers of guilt tripping and manipulation. Is Maroon aware of what the hell they’re doing? Yes, that doesn’t stop it from working :]

----------

Yep! It’s not visible when they’re mechs, but their scars are a lot more prominent in their human forms.

(Here's a quick doodle/ref on their scars below in human forms)

As for Jasper's power up, well...

(REALLY BIG SPOILERS BELOW!!!!!)

Surprise, surprise, turns out leaving a betrayed and panicked Starscream (Maroon) to make decisions doesn't end well, who knew??

Maroon didn't completely snuff out Jasper's spark, but he was damn close. It took Jasper 4 years to wake up, and during that time, Maroon and Silver slaughtered any humans or mechs that fell into the void and placed their souls into Jasper in the hopes of giving his spark enough energy to jumpstart itself.

(Back then, a lot of people and mechs fell into the void because of Jasper's machine, creating a bunch of rifts, but after 3-5 years, the majority of those rifts have naturally closed up, so no, the current timeline does not receive that many "visitors" anymore).

Jasper's memory during this time is very, very fuzzy. But Silver and Maroon say that he doesn't need to remember, so he doesn't really think about it.

Wow ten asks for them being human? YAY.

Can I put them in my box with the rest of the friends I've shoved in?! >:D MWUAHAHAHAHA

I'm going through cuteness aggression dinxnwjxbjesikf

(it's comfy dw, practically like a mansion for their size lol. Lots of the readings as well and soft cushions and bean bags.)

Hm…idk, maybe? As long as you keep them fed and hydrated you can borrow them for at least 24 hours >:3

though do be warned that they like to roam a lot so if they start to get antsy inside the mansion just let them walk for a bit and they’ll be good to go!

[??? Has allowed you to bring the Starscreams for a one day sleepover!!]

[cbsblossom]

I do feel like more attention should be paid to the fact that Jasper does not put it above Silver to murder a child. Is that why Unicron picked him? Has he just casually deleted a child in the past? And why the fuck would Maroon of all people care and scold him for it?

(no pressure to answer fast, I'm just thinking about this shit way too much and rereading older asks)

(Also, the implication that this is the first time Silver ever glitched? Tfp Starscream tends to be quite emotional, good on him for taking this long to crack.)

Jasper is VERY aware of what Silver has done. Maroon isn’t the only one hiding bodies for Silver after all. And well, Jasper REALLY doesn’t understand why Maroon changed his mind about getting rid of outsiders.

But as long as those outsiders mind their own business and making things fun….well…Jasper isn’t gonna complain about keeping them alive for JUST a little longer :)

Unicron? now that’s entering spoilers territory, BUT I can give you guys some tidbits.

Unicron chose to try and possess these three for reasons that will soon be revealed but the main reason he targeted Silver first, is because he reminded him of a certain prime, one that he was very fond of.
