I find it cool how Starscream notices objects moving in the sky a lot sooner than Megatron does.
Sure, Megatron could just be distracted, but Starscream was always an elite Flyer. He’s very aware and alert of things (due to his paranoia), and it’s in his nature to have excellent eyesight.
Inspired from fanfic Not A Prime Situation by CarlottaPrime
I had read this fanfic for quite a while, and I have to say this is one of my favorite TFP fanfic ever. It was an emotional roller coaster.
So many horrors Optimus has been through, the heartwarming moment between Op and Team Prime and the satisfying conclusion. I cried while reading the last chapter, I'm not kidding LMAO
In "Masters and Students" Starscream digs up Skyquake, who was like. Left in a pod as an Emergency Backup Decepticon.
But I wish the big bot Starscream dug up had been Skyfire. (They were still old friends but Skyfire went missing when Starscream wasn't around. And he was stuck under the ice due to an accident, just like in G1.)
And from there it could either play out like the G1 episode "Fire in the Sky" OR maybe Starscream does convince Skyfire to continue helping him based on their old friendship, even though Skyfire is visibly uncomfortable with violence. And it could have a tragic ending like Skyfire dies when he can't bring himself to harm Agent Fowler. (Maybe he's about to smash through Fowler's flimsy human jet like Starscream asked him to, but at the last moment Skyfire swerves away and slams into a mountain as a result.)
