'lemme just slam jam this shard of concentrated evil into my spark, there is absolutely no way this can go wrong' And then it proceeds to go wrong for 3 seasons I presume, I haven't started season 2 yet.
I'm going to presume he was doing so well at squeezing the Autobots dry before because he wasn't huffing pure evil and impairing his decision making.
unfortunately he'd fucked off for two-three years simply just to huff pure evil before the storyline,
Look, all I'm saying is this makes Starscream's treachery make perfect internal sense and Soundwave needs to stop enabling Megatron's addiction.
good generals dont fuck off for two-three years to huff evil and then get mad at their commanders for doing their literal job better than them :3
...........imagine Starscream walking in on Megatron doing lines of dark energon in the command center tho
TFP au where the decepticons hold an intervention for Megatron. But yeah Starscream has his issues but, tbh, not trusting Megatron's judgement after Megatron has taken to huffing pure cosmic evil and going out of his way to incapacitate Megatron is not one of them. Because maybe the guy huffing pure cosmic evil... is not a good person to be in charge???
I don't even hate TFP Megatron it's just. He's LITERALLY getting high on evil, constantly. If he had a good point before slamming dark energon into his spark, he's lost track of it, on account the thing he's been doing, with cosmic evil.
Unicron 6 was about as good as it was going to be. Which sounds like damning with faint praise, but that's not really what I mean. I'm mostly satisfied, I just didn't like a lot of the buildup.
HOW WERE YOU NOT BEFORE. they had like. a mom fight. over jack. and arcee and her in the end were like 'yo i am sorry for being a shit'. riding puns.
