#i also dont think he'd assume full leadership

[cosmics-beings]

if terminus and starscream ever became a thing i 100% think that somehow a decepticon 2.0 movement would come out of it. it would be a more peaceful one IMO, but also still very radical...

i think terminus would rule from the background, and just influence starscream from the shadows. if starscream was the leader of Cybertron, terminus would take that as a chance to push forward a more tolerant decepticon government, something starscream wouldn't adjust too after getting to know terminus.

#coming up with something now #i think terminus is just a bit more radical than megatron #but i also think he'd do things differently #i also dont think he'd assume full leadership #it's like #he'd let starscream call himself the leader and would work from behind the scenes #and influence starscream #but it's not even like he's using starscream #the two both work together #starscream is leader of cybertron #but he also liked terminus's ideas #when they get together they reform the government #also shamefully adding my oc in here chromitus who is a miner and former decepticon #he is also the senator and representative of minining clonies #as is terminus #so like starscream's political allies - his closest ones are miners #i forgot to add that chromitus is skywarp's conjunx #anyway yway #there is also this thing i like to look at where starscream himself was constantly told he was too privileged to call himself a decepticon #so he has a lot of hate but love for the name and identity #terminus is the one who gets that out of his mind #and also helps him come to terms with his own oppression #anyway #while he worked as megatron's mentor #i think that he and starscream are more equal in that #anywayz #terminus also has cute privilege #he looks like a roley poley #also a sad but happy hc is what if starscream thinks that terminus is just using him to get political power #and there's a part he thinks terminus is going to leave or 'break up' with him
