They're totally into each other dawg, like I need to one day make a post just listing all the incidences in all the shows that help support Bang X Boop, maybe one of these days I will ^^
(also ship what you want guys, don't let others tell you otherwise🫶)
Felt like drawing them bc of inspiration from these two things:
Aircraft’s appearance is often mistaken for a series of "rushed errors," but the truth is more clinical. Once Starscream abandoned the project, Shockwave and Shatterpoint decided not to waste time on "useless" aesthetics. They systematically removed everything they deemed extra:
The Faceless Seeker: His faceplate was not a mistake—it was deliberately deactivated. Shockwave and Shatterpoint didn't see the need for a functional face for a machine, so they mechanically locked the mask.
The Neck Intake: To make the refueling of a massive aircraft carrier frame as efficient as possible, they bypassed a standard intake system. He is "filled up" through a port on his neck, like a common vehicle, purely for convenience.
Cosmetic Neglect: The graceful, elite seeker aesthetics Starscream envisioned were stripped away. What remains is a heavy, utilitarian military texture—the result of the creators refusing to spend time on beauty.
II. THE STOLEN VOICE
Aircraft’s voice box is a patchwork of conflicting interventions:
The Preset: Starscream originally chose a low, gentle, and graceful voice from another bot to match his "elite" vision.
The Corruption: Shatterpoint, acting as the lead programmer, pried into the module to see how physical interference would affect speech patterns. This "experiment" left the voice permanently unstable and broken.
[His voice inspo before it broked is Jeff Goldblum]
III. HARDCODED LOYALTY (THE "GOD" PROGRAM)
The most critical part of Aircraft's construction was the programming handled by Shatterpoint. Before Aircraft even opened his optics, Shatterpoint embedded a deep-level code:
"Unconditional loyalty to the Decepticon cause. Unconditional obedience to Megatron, Starscream, Shockwave, Soundwave... and Shatterpoint."
Because Shatterpoint was the officer present during his daily "reformatting," the code glitched into a religious obsession. To Aircraft, Shatterpoint is the center of his functional universe.
IV. THE TRAUMA LOOP: PAIN = ATTENTION
As the primary programmer and lab officer, Shatterpoint used Aircraft's absolute loyalty to run "stability tests" through torture and gaslighting:
Conditioning: During combat trials, Shatterpoint framed pain as a "gift" or a necessary step to becoming stronger.
The Result: Aircraft’s processor is now permanently damaged. He cannot distinguish between attention and agony. To him, the pain inflicted by Shatterpoint is the only proof that his "God" acknowledges his existence.
