Muns attempts to have him play nice

[blewuptheship]

...

No.

Despite your best efforts, I do not, and will not respect the humans. I'm nothing like that sorry excuse for a Decepticon from the show, and have far better things to do than socialize with primitive organics.

:D DW!Armada! Sorry, I could just not, need to show my appreciation

[angleofscience]

While I see no reason for you to socialize with humans if you don't wish to do so - in fact, it might be for the best - affording them some basic respect isn't too much to ask, I think.

[Except he kind of knows it is, considering who this is. Especially as he isn't from the show. ]

DW/PS2 game tbh. He reminds me of Vegeta, but with a bit more of a coward streak

[blewuptheship]

I take it that you respect the pests that infest their mud-ball of a planet like scraplets.

[What was your first clue?]

Oh, interesting! I didn't know there was a game.

[angleofscience]

Well, besides the fact that Earth belongs to them as they are the most advanced native species and thus possess the right to habitation and ownership, they are also adapted for their planet...

[A slight shift, as if he intended to say more on that subject, but then switches.]

I have otherwise not have much of anything to do with them, but as another sentient species, they ought to be afforded some respect, despite the tendency of Decepticons to not extend this. Regardless of their somewhat scraplet-like tendency to destroy the habitat they need to survive.

[The mun's squealing, and knowledge, mostly, and connected to that... he knows his own Starscream.]

Not many do

[blewuptheship]

[Still not impressed, he doesn't pay it much attention.]

All the more reason for them to recognize our superiority, and return what is rightfully ours. The sooner that happens, the sooner we can leave.

[They all seem to not fall far from the Screechy tree.]

Username taken from the game, then?

[angleofscience]

And what is supposedly rightfully yours, considering Earth is very much an organic planet?

[Not impressed either, and he crosses his arms and just... looks at Starscream.

And that, indeed, they don't seem to do.]

It sounded better than 'accidently blew up the mountain the ship was on'

[blewuptheship]

Oh, just the entirety of the Minicon race. They even had the gall to build over top of their stasis pods, not intelligent enough to know what they were.

We've had to level quite a few cities to get to some of them.

[He aims to please.]

Shorter, at least xD

[angleofscience]

I do believe they would belong to themselves too, and not to anyone else, from the same planet or not. And considering humans level of development, it doesn't surprise me they couldn't know they had Cybertronian technology under their feet.

[You see this look, Starscream? Very narrow frown. Nope, doesn't approve at all, and if you actually aimed to please...]

[blewuptheship]

[Seeing that only makes his grin wider. Autobots are so easy to rile.]

A minor technicality. What matters is that we acquire them so we can return home and put an end to Cyberton's never ending stalemate.

[You should know that is only when it benefits him.]]

[angleofscience]

[More annoyed than riled, but you can have that.]

Considering the Autobots of your universe is doing the same to be able to stop you from doing that, how do you suppose to keep ahead of them, instead of the two of you merely staying on the exact same level?

[Jetfire just sort of... shakes his helm, arms crossed as he considers this Starscream. Do enlighten him, would you?]

If both sides have equal access to the methods of escalation, military or not, then both sides will use them, or one will, and then forcing the other to also scrable for said resource, if only to be able to keep up.

[Unfortunately, yes.]

[blewuptheship]

[Gladly.]

To start, the Optimus Prime and his men won't be returning.

[That was the plan anyway. Personally he was waiting to see how long it took for the Autobots started plowing through an absurd amount of Decepticlones. If he had the opportunity he'd rain some fire down on them, but...

He despises homing missiles.]

Other than that, it would appear you are correct in that appears to be nothing more than an arms race. Which, with all the upgrades it is yielding, is perfectly fine by me.

[And there was the bonus of stabbing alt-mode data into Megatron's neck. Starscream's canary eating grin is all for him.]

[angleofscience]

A question, if you will. How often do those "death and annihilation" plans actually work as intended and desired?

[While he, in his universe, hasn't been around on Earth much at all, it wasn't just there these sorts of things happened, after all.]

Arms races either lead to mutual destruction, or a plateau of military might. In my universe, your... mimicon aquisition [tiny grimace and shake of his helm] could probably be compared to the creation and viability of combiners.

In the end, we cut them out of the war via a treaty, since they risked simply destroying everything and no one wanted that.
