Megatron knows Starscream is up to something.
He has been acting stranger, stranger than usual, at least. Sneaking longing glances at the halls, creating multitude of excuses to escape his presence, counting the cycles and hoarding Energon to an unknown location.
A location that not even Shockwave, his most loyal decepticon, could detect.
It is unusual- dare he say uncharacteristic for Starscream to not try and kill him for this long, either he has finally given up- (Megatron almost laughed at the prospect) or he is planning something big
Megatron knows Starscream is up to something, and it’s about time his wretched second in command started talking.
“You called for me, Lord Megatron?”
Ah, speak of the devil, as the organics say.
Megatron turns around and watches as Starscream reluctantly steps into the room, looking down, unwilling to look at Megatron in the optics.
(How absurd, what event changed you my seeker? You used to look me in the optics as you tried and failed to overthrow me?)
Megatron almost sneered at the sight before turning around to look at the screen. The cameras displaying everything, from the halls of the nemesis, to the very room they were standing in.
“When are you ending this charade Starscream?” Megatron growled “I beg your pardon…?” Starscream asked.
“Don’t think of me as a fool. You think I didn’t notice you sneaking around like a mouse and hoarding our energon resources?”
Starscream stiffened up and his face hardens. “I thought we were allowed to take as much energon as we need?” Starscream spoke up.
“Hm…” Ah yes, Megatron recalled. He did say something akin to that…though, he’s surprised that Starscream remembered that particular speech.
“Yes I did say that-“ Starscream shuffled backwards as Megatron steps closer “-That is, unless a certain mech is particularly known for sabotaging, assassinating and fragging up all my plans” Megatron leans forward until they were face to face “Sounds familiar….?
Starscream stiffened up and whispered to himself with a grumble “Of course I’m stuck with the only leader whose actually smart and sober enough to notice…damnit, I wish I had Jaspers Megatron-“
Megatron narrowed his optics and growled softly “If you wish to speak so willingly, don’t you think it’s polite to speak louder? After all, you used to love voicing your opinions”
Starscream hunched up even harder at Megatron’s words. “Or…you used to. And that’s the problem that has been….pestering me for the past few cycles…”
Megatron started walking around Starscream, quickly noticing how he stiffened up, his peds shifted in a simple defense position (As if that could save him from Megatrons blaster) and his servos flexed, as if ready to slash at Megatron if he made a single wrong motion.
“Just a few cycles ago, you were loudly complaining, reluctantly scouting, and plotting to kill me. A normal behavior coming from you”
“But then, in just one cycle, you stopped doing any of that. You stopped complaining, you stopped scouting, and you’ve stopped attempting to kill me….”
“So tell me Starscream. What, are you planning?”
“……” Starscream looked at Megatron, for the first time in a while, straight in the optics…..and laughed.
“AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-!!”
Megatron blinked in surprise and glanced around. To see if there is anything else that has happened to warrant such an unusual reaction from his second in command. But there was nothing.
Starscream calmed down and wiped off a lubricant from his optics “Man…! Can’t wait to talk to Silver and Jasper about this..! Jasper actually managed to predict everything-! Word for word too! Damn, can’t believe I lost the bet…”
Chocolate? Bet?? Silver and Jasper??? Man??
Megatron was about to open his mouth and demand an answer out of Starscream before the Seeker stepped forward and bared his denta in a feral smile.
“Since you already found all the clues, i’m gonna offer you a..deal. So to speak, a very beneficial one too”
Megaton narrowed his optics and looked down at the cocky Seeker (Something deep in Megatrons spark purred at the familiar sight of his second in commands normal behavior)
“I am willing to give you the locations of countless energon mines, the location of the all spark and even where the Autobot are- in exchange for one thing! And one thing only!”
Megatron tilted his head and looked down at his second in command “And what is this ‘one thing’ you speak of?”
Starscream nearly purred in excitement and whispered “Let me leave the Decepticons” and Megatron…blinked.
“…Pardon?”
“You heard me!” Starscream leaned back with a smile. As if his words did not completely baffle Megatron to his core. Starscream leaving…?
“And-” Megatron cleared his vents and spoke “How can I trust that you will give me any of this….benefits?”
Starscream smiled again “Don’t tell me you haven’t noticed yet, Lord Megatron~ All our Energon supplies has been growing exponentially for the past few cycles!”
He spread his arms as he proclaims out loud “Our entire stock is filled to the brim with energon! I have already giving you a taste of what you could gain!! And all you have to do-”
Starscream stepped forward with a near feral smile as he yelled in enthusiasm “Is to let me leave!”
Megatron paused as he thought about the deal, it us true..and if what Starscream saying is true, which it most likely is (This fact made something in Megatron wither and snarl) proven by the very real increase of Energon supplies.
Megatron looked at the near hopeful and confident look in Starscreams eyes, as if he already knew that Megatron would accept. (Hah, what a disgusting look, you have never looked this hopeful, not since the day you joined my cause-)
The Decepticon leader looked at the Seekers confident face-
“No”
- before gleefully watching his second in commands face fall in shock.
“…Excuse me…?”
“You are not deaf Starscream. You heard what I said” Megatron cooed and walked away, chuckling in amusement as Starscream, splutters and speed walked in an attempt to keep up with his leaders strides.
“Why-?! I don’t understand-!!”
“Yes. You don’t understand” Megatron turned around, almost getting hit by Starscream as the seeker nearly tripped at the sudden stop.
Starscream stumbles back, his field leaking his surprise and fear (that delicious, familiar fear-). As Megatron calmly steps forward whilst speaking-
“Because, keeping you around now, especially with your foolishly revealed knowledge, will grant the Decepticons all the resources to assure our victory. You really didn’t think I would let you go after you showed how valuable you are now did you, My dear second?”
Megatron mocked and smiled wider as Starscreams eyes glowed in anger- (though there is something off in his optic’s- aren’t his optics supposed to be red…? I do not remember it being Maroon-)
Before he straightened up and bowed stiffly “Then I am sorry for waisting your time..my..lord” Starscream hissed out the title as if its an insult (and with how much venom he snarled out, it might as well be)
The seeker straightened up and petulantly grumbled out an “Please excuse me….” And Megatron watched Starscream scuttle away, not even bothering to hide his amusement at Starscreams obvious frustration and disbelief
(Foolish Seeker, did you really think he would let something of his go so easily? Especially one that has such knowledge?)
Megatron smiled and looked at the camera “Shockwave, make sure to keep an optic on Starscream, it would seem our Seeker has been..hiding some important secrets from us” the lens of the camera blinked at Megatron in agreement.
The leader smiled and walked back to his quarters, it would seem that some of his plans related to a certain seeker would need some…adjustment’s
made some keychains for me and my friend : )
Wanted to go for flowers since the blue flowers have symbolism in relation to megs. starscream ehh not so much so I went with Hibiscus syriacus(Unyielding flower that blooms again and again), thought it fit his character
Possessive megastar is my favorite

HELLO? GAY GAY HOMOSEXUAL GAY
Redrawing the g1 cartoon scripts again, because my brain is too fried to think about what to draw, ik I've posted about this before but I love that they repeat starscream being jealous 3 times
Starscream hunched over his makeshift lab, cackling as he mixed a bubbling, ominously glowing concoction. This was it. His greatest poison yet. No more miscalculations. No more half-failures. No more Megatron surviving out of sheer spite.
"At last," Starscream whispered, watching the mixture swirl into a deep, menacing shade of—
Pink.
"...What?"
The chemical let out a tiny, cheerful poof of pink smoke, smelling vaguely like candies.
Starscream's processor went completely blank.
He grabbed a scanner, quickly running a composition check. The results appeared on the screen:
TOXICITY: 0%
EFFECT: Romantic attachment, intense infatuation, emotional vulnerability.
Starscream’s wings flared in horror. "A love potion?!" He screeched so loudly that three Vehicons outside the lab spontaneously quit their jobs.
"No, no, no! I was trying to make death, not date night!" He flailed, pacing back and forth. He had to get rid of this before something stupid happened.
But just as he turned to dispose of it, the door slammed open.
Megatron stomped in, looking exactly as furious as usual.
Starscream yelped and hid the flask behind his back. "M-Mighty Megatron! What brings you here to my totally innocent and not at all treacherous laboratory?"
Megatron squinted at him. He immediately spotted the very suspiciously colored liquid.
Megatron sneered. "Another poison, Starscream?"
Starscream's entire frame went stiff. "WHAT? NO! Of course not! Why would you—"
Without warning, Megatron snatched the flask from Starscream’s servos.
"Megatron, DON’T—"
Megatron, dead inside, and with no self-preservation lifted the bottle and chugged it like a shot of cheap high-grade.
Starscream shrieked. "MEGATRON, YOU ABSOLUTE IMBECILE!"
Megatron wiped his mouth, unimpressed. "Please, Starscream. You’ve poisoned me so many times I don’t even pretend to care anymore."
Starscream grabbed his own head. "YES, BUT—"
Megatron crossed his arms. "What? What’s the problem this time? You wanted to administer it yourself in some diabolical plan of overthrowing me? I spared you time and effort. You should thank me."
Starscream took a deep breath, staring him directly in the optics. "That wasn’t poison."
Megatron raised a brow. "Then what was it?"
Starscream winced. "A love potion."
Silence.
Then Megatron scoffed. "There’s no such thing as a love potion. Love isn’t a chemical reaction you can bottle up, Starscream, that’s ridiculous."
Starscream threw his arms in the air. "TELL THAT TO THE MAGIC PINK JUICE YOU JUST WATERFALLED INTO YOUR FACE."
Megatron rolled his optics. "I am leaving. Try harder next time, Starscream."
—
Few hours later.
Megatron’s systems groggily rebooted.
Something felt… wrong. For one thing, he was comfortable, way to comfortable. Which was a bad sign.
His arms were wrapped around something warm. Something with wings.
He became aware of soft, rhythmic venting. A quiet, peaceful hum.
Something was pressed against him.
Something was snuggling.
Megatron’s optics slowly flickered online.
He was in his quarters. On his berth. Holding Starscream in a tight embrace.
—And that’s when Megatron, warlord of the Decepticons, commander of a mighty army, shrieks like a malfunctioning alarm system.
What if they both want to be with somebody else but are stuck with each other nonetheless ❤️✨
eyeless old married couple
Binged the new Earthspark eps today!! I'm sobbing up a storm
Me explaining Armada Starscream and Megatron being the biggest version of how they are like a father and son but obviously abusive.
My Dad: They should get married.
Me: Did you not hear what I said. First of all I was saying how Megatron is like an abusive adoptive father. And it's really abusive. What?
Dad: Yeah they should get married and kiss.
Me in utter horror trying to change the subject away: So you know Soundwave he's my second favouri---
Dad: He's their son whose spoilt.
And I'm currently choking on air and I tried changing the subject again: You know Starscream has heels
Dad: No he doesn't
And then I show him and he goes: So he is definitely the wife. -or SMT
So yeah my dad ships megastar or megstar idk and somewhere in the relationship he did agree with it being toxic but ig he likes it. But he also calls them both chickens.
I don't agree with this the only time I interact with the ship is if Starscream looks really nice in the drawing which is unfortunately a lot cause ppl draw too good to not like
Guys I swear I will post doodles soon but hear me out on this song idea/analysis like last time
Thanks, I Hate It by Simple Creatures but it's about Starscream 's and Megatron's relationship (not romantically unless you view it as such) from Starscream's pov.
"Am I good enough for you" portrays that no matter how he acts, loyal, disloyal, submissive or resistant Megatron will always seek the opposite or still view it and therefore him as disgusting making him the perfect punching bag simply for Megatron's very own amusement. In every universe, with the main ones with this problem being armada and prime, he gets treated as somebody with potential by Megatron yet he also denies Starscream that growth.
"I don't owe you anything" is something that Starscream himself would only think in his anger towards Megatron but may have only truly processed those words as true after the war (in the versions he survives for a bit after, such as him in the Windblade comics). This reflects how he -and every other abuse victim- doesn't and shouldn't offer their abuser anything no matter how much your life is centred and controlled by them, they don't deserve you.
"But I gave you everything" shows the fact that Starscream sometimes and maybe in the beginning of everything did try so hard to please Megatron. But he didn't need to do all of that as it only buried the hole he was getting swallowed by even larger and more difficult to escape from.
"Watch you pile it up and sing - Thanks I hate it" summarises Megatron's mentality and actions when it comes down to Starscream. Megatron will rarely accept something he gives and when he does praise is rarely given which may mirror any abusive relationship (I view it as an abusive adopted Father and their dysfunctional son that becomes even worse with the abuse - though see it however you want).
"No you're never satisfied" is Megatron's constant berating and thirst of Starscream's agony.
"Now you wanna run and hide" resembles how in the many times Megatron has been redeemed he has never apologised to the person he influenced and corrupted the most. The exception of this was Earthspark but even then Megatron was warning everyone how Starscream is worse than he ever was. He showed care for the other decepticons well being yet was inconsiderate of Starscream's. He's too scared to face the truth of his actions or view it as important to his path to peace, therefore hiding himself from his second in command as if everything will be dropped and sorted out.
The point is- Starscream should be accountable for his actions only if Megatron will be as well and if we brush everything he's done then we should do the same for Starscream. Yet Megatron should still face him either way if he truly is a "good guy". Starscream deserves that closure even though he thinks that killing and taking his place will ease everything it wouldn't.
Here's some of the g1 scripts of megatron and starscream (with weird tension) that I like a lot
(Trying not to appear foolish)
Oh shit they're going through a divorce again
"Personal war"
Here's starscream lying through his teeth too
Cannonicly SHAKING with jealousy I love it
"Our"???
Megatron really forgot about starscream betraying him in 0.01 seconds
Ik hes pretty nice to the other seekers in g1 but I don't remember him complementing Starscream this much lmao
This feels like exhibitionism
"Embracing him" is crazy
What a brat
Bonus from the storyboards
Look at him sliding over
He looks so worried here lol
I like the artstyle here, I mean I like the artstyle in a lot of the storyboards, but the faces here are really nice
Old married couple🤭💖
p.s. I completely forgot to post it >.<
Satan summoning his legions
I get that it's entirely dependent on the iteration but I think its a little funny when Megatron and Starscream are portrayed as having this 100% abuser/victim dynamic because it just looks like this to me
And also this happens afterward every time
The babysitter is babysitting

Starscream’s branding ceremony was a little bit different from the rest.
