Spoiler: MTMTE #1 but it's the entire page They can't even look at each other when Prowl says he's disappointed, fucking hell. Rewind's tiny 'Primus help us all' at the thought of Prowl having mnemosurgical talents (god, that's a terrifying thought). Prowl saying 'best friend' in all bold because this was probably back before they committed to Canon Gay so everyone was throwing 'best friend' around about Dominus Ambus as well, but which reads as way harsher in hindsight because wow Prowl, you are so very not over Chromedome and very bitter that everyone is ditching with Rodimus, and it is painfully obvious. Chromedome's sassy hand pose in the bottom panel. Rewind is sitting on the table, probably inspiring Prowl's table-centric rage. Early MTMTE is such a gift
We will have reached true robo-equality when we have a female character with as weirdly a proportionately-disproportionate build as Chromedome. Strika doesn't count, she's purely massive.
Chromedome's shoulder to waist ratio sets yet another unrealistic standard for Cybertronian bodies, rivalled only by the boob-complex Shockwave and Prowl have given the entire population. Tsk tsk
Cyclonus and Whirl, in the distance: Nyooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom Edit Cy...you were literally right there...
/sobs at Whirl's chicken legs/ YOU CAN BOTH FLY!!! YOU TWO ARE GIVING ME A MIDLIFE CRISIS WITH YOUR RIDICULOUS DRAMA QUEEN CLIFF JUMPING BULLSHIT!!!!! FUCK! (aka I'm pretty sure Cyclonus could have transformed and caught himself before hitting the ground if Whirl weren't restraining him in a death tackle hug. Which means Whirl was either supremely confident in his ability to come out of that fall in one piece because #WreckerBodySlamAesthetic, or was actively fighting back whatever transformation reflex his body might have to try to kill both of them at the same time) ((Or they're both drama queen edgelords)) Arrivederci, guntits
I'm rereading the spades fic and was this anything in particular? I haven't read RiD and it doesn't appear that there's a wiki page for Starscream's knickknacks.
I think in the tyrest machine scene, you can see that Starscream has a figurine of himself in his room!
I would lean towards Whirl being an edgelord/just not caring how badly he gets fucked up because Whirls picture is next to the neocybex entry for self destructive. You know it is.
yeah i mean this scene takes place immediately after his aborted suicide attempt. anyway in other news i am never not crying about whirl
Nah, MTMTE 20 was well before Windblade was even introduced in canon for Dark Cybertron, while my vague timeline is more post exRID 33 (after DC). I just extrapolated that Starscream still keeps the teeny miniature of his altmode around for decorative purposes because it's egotistical/adorable
fuck i'm suddenly super emotional about how much i love starscream the egotistical selfish awful shitbaby...... i love him Olot
Yes, melodious, pomaceous fruit...all according to your own keikaku...... *keikaku means emotions over robots
...wait, when Starscream is dying because of the killswitch his first thought is Megatron is somehow doing this to him? D:
