[Episode Reaction because I felt like it]

[elegant_claws]

You should really stop watching this filth. Clearly, these earth writers have no idea how to correctly portray me.

[Grumble] An entire episode about me and they picked all the wrong clips!

[ex_wikipedia788]

Go easy. Clipshows are hard to organize!

[elegant_claws]

Granted.

But these show producers are repeat offenders. They will receive no mercy from me. [Hmph]

Though the part with all my beautiful transformations was a start in the right direction...

[smokedumb]

I agree!

They didn't even throw in my awesome one liners during our scuffle!


Now that is a tragedy.

[elegant_claws]

Funny, all I remember is knocking you out and leaving.

[smokedumb]

Ehhhh nuance.

If you ask me? Not nearly enough clips of you getting punched in the face. C'mon, where's Arcee's slap to the face? From what I hear, that left a mark.

Oh, and can't forget the big guy slamming that wrecking ball into your clone.

Two words. Awe. Some.

[elegant_claws]

....I really should have gutted you when I had the chance.

[smokedumb]

Yeah, like I'm REALLY gonna let a Con slip his hand into my insides a SECOND time.

[elegant_claws]

Second time?

[smokedumb]

Yeah, Princess Paintjob got his hands all up in my wiring getting that key.

It was...about as strange as it sounds.

[elegant_claws]

Princess Pai- [He stifles a laugh.] You mean Knock Out, I presume?

It sounds like something I never want to hear about.

[smokedumb]

The one and only. Kinda stoked he got exposed in the episode too, not gonna lie.

Payback for that consent-less surgery.

[elegant_claws]

That was not my intention. [Though he's also sort of glad he isn't the only one in the frying pan.]

[smokedumb]

I wouldn't rustle your wings too much, Screamy.

Dark Lord seems to like you enough to take you back even after all you did.

It's Dreadwing you should be careful for.

[elegant_claws]

Yes... Thankfully, Lord Megatron understands my value. [Or is at least amused by him enough to keep him around.]

Dreadwing? Why would he care? I've made it clear I am not after his position.

[smokedumb]

Yeahhhh, pretty sure he just wanted a punching bag back.

[Whatever floats your boat, though!]

My mun tells me that he kinda overheard you. The whole Skyquack thing.

[elegant_claws]

Skyquack...- You mean, S-skyquake?!

[Oh no.]

This....isn't good.

[smokedumb]

Yyyyeah. He's the brother of the mean green Autobot-eating machine, and you ticked him off.

[deceptionshark]

Oh I beg to differ, Starscream.

It showed me exactly what I expected to see.

[elegant_claws]

E-expected?


[Gulp] But all of that is in the past. Surely, my current actions should speak for my intentions from now on?

[deceptionshark]

Your current actions reek of opportunism and self-preservation, but I expect nothing less from you.

Heh, we learn from the past and use it to build for the future...

For example: Now you know the follies of doing all your thinking out loud.

[elegant_claws]

[Nervous laugh] Yes, yes. Good advice, my Lord. I shall endeavor to keep my thoughts to myself.

Admittedly... I don't mind saying aloud that it's nice to be working together again. [Grin?]

[deceptionshark]

It has been considerably less entertaining without your presence aboard the Nemesis.

[That's a maybe. Or a yes, if you look at it from a certain angle.]

Once we have restored your flight, you will be useful to me once again. [Or else.]

[elegant_claws]

And we can't have you getting bored, can we?

[He clasps his hands together and nods vigorously.] I knew you would see the wisdom in returning my wings to me.

[deceptionshark]

[His casual tone fades and becomes softer, quieter.

Yet it gets his meaning across very clearly.]

Just remember Starscream... I will not be giving you another chance.

Betray or fail me again and it will cost you your life, do you understand?

[Starscream is already effectively his again, but it never hurts to be sure.]

[dreadmoth]

[There aren't enough internet-reaction-gifs in the world to describe his hate for you.

And you know how many there are. You've seen the internet.]

[elegant_claws]

[....And about now is when he'd pull up the dancing monkey gif to calm his nerves.]

[dreadmoth]

[Yes, good. Watch it. Have it be your only comfort.]

I suppose I should welcome you back.

[Ouch. You could stab a heart with that sharp tone.]

[elegant_claws]

[I-it's not really that comforting. Not with you looming over his shoulder.]

Y-you don't have to...?

[dreadmoth]

Oh, but I do.

[He walks slightly past him, perhaps NUDGING him a little too hard.]

After your contribution to the Decepticon cause.
