give me a starscream that stops talking, give me a starscream that finally figures out that talking gets him hurt, that every time he opens his mouth he gets hit. give me a starcream that becomes numb because of the routine, a starcream who's so used to being hit that he doesn't even flinch anymore, he just goes limp and dissociates until it's over. give me a starscream where after the previous events the others catch on, he's not talking, barely interacting with them. they try 'fixing' it, they confront him, it ends in violence. not even being quiet protects him, so he starts avoiding other bots altogether. the newly made vehicons never get to hear his voice, never understand what the older bots mean when they joke about starscream being loud. Give me a starscream that nobody realizes went missing weeks ago.
