Tumbler cooked the quality :(

Poor, poor Starscream... The more I learn about this worm the more I pity and sympathize with him. One thing about Transformers is that it will make you sympathize with the characters you do not want to. But ya will eventually anyway.

(*Cough cough* Megatron, Starscream, and Shockwave. *COUGH*)

a/n: little piece on Megatron. haha angst (wrote this in my anthropology class)

He wonders how many people he's slaughtered cheered for him in the pits of Kaon. Betting he would win, cheering his name with their fists in the air. Fists that are probably broken now, smashed between the soles of his soldiers.

Did they cheer then? When they saw him across the battlefield, leading an assault to end their very sparks? Do they cry with regret, when they see their comrades covered in blood?

Or maybe his fans are on his side, abused by their generals and even him. Downtrodden with every defeat or harsh blow to their pride. They lose sight of what made him a hero. He knows he sure as hell has.

He wonders what side his former opponents in the pits decided on. He hopes they are all dead.

He hopes Orion never cheers for him again.

So the other day my friend asked me what I think would happen if Arcee died in the first episode of TFP instead of Cliffjumper

so i was inspired to draw this.

What do you guys think the plot would be changed?

And let's assume in this AU Cliffjumper was a lot stronger than he did in the actual show and can stand more than a few vehicons.

This song ↑ & TF:P Optimus Prime

Do any of y'all see the angsty vision? ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ I want to make something with this... Maybe a TikTok or something? We'll just have to see what I can do because... Uugghhh, the lyrics fit this passive suicidal mech so much. :')

Optimus Prime (TFP) Matrix HC: Even though the Matrix of Leadership does allow him to be much wiser and have a lore more insight, due to the combined wisdom of the original thirteen Primes being contained within, it also is somewhat of a burden for him mentally.

Due to the fact it does possess so much knowledge and wisdom, it surely has so know just as much about the terrible and gut-wrenching things as anything else. So I think that Optimus would sometimes have dissociative flashbacks to events he never was present for, or have overwhelming intrusive thoughts about violence. Not in the “what if I hurt somthing” (the traditional type) but more of a “here’s an extremely graphic and nauseating thought you won’t be able to escape”.

He sometimes has episodes where he just goes completely silent, and nobody but Ratchet knows. It’s something he keeps secret so the others don’t worry about him, but sometimes he has to go on recon or other things during these episodes, and he goes nonverbal. The rest of Team Prime just wave it off as him being angsty and moody, but Ratchet tries his best to give Optimus space and to lighten his load.

He usually gets hazy visions of different awful scenes, sometimes real, sometimes a memory from the era of the primes, sometimes a graphic hypothetical. But he can’t really fight it, and any time he tries not to think of it, his mind just leads him back to these uncomfortable and unwanted thoughts.
