First impression of RiD Windblade: a very aggressive hand dryer.

You know how people will sometimes
hit a malfunctioning machine to make it work right? Megatron basically does that to Starscream.
Starscream: “crimes against me”
Megatron, an intellectual: “percussive maintenance”
Starscream’s new frame in RiD2015 seems quite robust, and I like that he went back to his old color scheme but sadly the wings aren’t expressive anymore.
Starscream himself however appears slower, less impulsive, and much less violent/aggressive compared to TFP. I didn’t see any missiles flying after those escaping Autobots there, he just stops and is angry.
I know that usually, unless Shockwave is involved, “aligned” continuity Transformers/Cybertronians are born
from the Well of AllSparks
fully functional and adult-sized. There is no procreation and no physical growing up.
But Transformers do acknowledge differences between young and old, which are based on
time spent alive and
life experiences, and it’s normal for them to have mentors and students.
Since they can also form relationships like friendships, analogies to human families, and even feel love, I guess loving couples could technically just loiter around the Well of Allsparks until it creates someone they can adopt?
Airachnid wants to go play with Arcee, but Megatron says no.
(I just like how she perks up and goes full spider while trying to schmooze her way into being allowed to fight her favorite enemy.)
“Is that star… screaming?”
In the SU episode Room for Ruby, Steven and Garnet are looking at the sky and suddenly there’s a shooting star which is, well, screaming.
This Ruby is a villain and she spends most of the episode casually convincing the protagonist and his allies that she’s switching sides.
But she only does that to get to the spaceship belonging to her group, and
turns on her new “friends” in the end.
I mean, Starscream is known and loved across different Transformers
media and continuities as a traitorous, backstabbing asshole.
So I just think the words “star” and “screaming” right next to each other like that can’t be a coincidence when introducing this deceptive character into an episode.
She even smiles while tossing someone out of a spaceship, in good old Starscream fashion.
“Wait, I still function!” – Lapis Lazuli, probably
me, going through a hundred posts in my drafts and tagging everything: I now fully understand why Orion Pax wanted to quit his job as data clerk and start a revolution but not badly enough to actually start shit by himself
How's it hummin'?
