Nihilism and apathy threatened constantly to take back the twinge of hope you had at altering your situation. It was hard to hold them back from smothering the tiny bit of hope left in you.
Megatron’s face when Silas advises him to ‘relax’.
Human. That is the face of someone who has been doing the same job for one million years and only enjoyed it for the first five. That is the face of someone who has never had a weekend. That is the face of someone who was in a coma and spent every second of it killing Autobots on endless loop in his mind. That is the face of someone so averse to the mere concept of relaxation that he made Starscream his second-in-command, which is like willingly sharing an office with a hungry alligator that is somehow also a chronically anxious chihuahua.
Don’t tell Megatron to relax.
Somehow Silas looked at THIS FACE RIGHT HERE
And thought “Yes
Entering into an alliance with this Terrifying Space Tyrant is a Wise Plan and I am sure even when my sceme fails I will be totally safe aboard his warship, surrounded by the legion of followers he has around him at all times”
Reblogging purely gor the A+ description of Starscream.
To follow up Galvatron, here’s local big boi Cyclonus. With info below.
Dunno if I’ll keep to SV-dynamics but hey if I did (Lookin’ at you Chicken for suggesting it), imagine no one believing he and Starscream are cousins (probably second cousins, but still, when like 90% of your family is dead in the war that bit doesn’t matter too much) though it also lead to the amusing idea of: “I miss the days when you were smaller than me” “What all five of them?” “I STILL RANK HIGHER THAN YOU!”
Cyclonus goes long periods of time without talking, but when he does it’s a deep rumble of a voice which you’ll know when you hear it.
Is responsible for rescuing Galvatron from the lab he was created in. A feat he didn’t manage without getting some plating scorched. Given the sheer terrified reaction he got from Galvatron he found it better to keep the existence of his new friend a secret.
Is a very, very, VERY, VERYloyal Decepticon.
As such the discovery of Galvatron and Megatrons less-than-decent behaviour and standards regarding this clone really threw him for loop and made him question his entire existence and purpose, sowing seeds of doubt.
His honor and skill are very dear to him. He vows never to harm a unarmed foe unless there’s enough reason to (AKA you know you pissed him off if he does that) and hardly denies a request from his superiors.
Galvatron follows him most places so he has to be careful who he’s seen by and where he is, don’t know when he might have to shove the purple fella into a cave or ditch to hide him.
Galvatron once told him to “Here, hold Raf”, despite the human insisting it was okay Cyclonus promptly froze out of pure fear. The human is so tiny, too tiny, oh my god help what if I crush him?
His loyalty made it veeeery hard for him to tolerate the notion that they needed the Autobots help and he spent most of the time being antagonistic and ignoring them. He was partially glad he was too big to fit in their base so he didn’t have to put up with them.
Has kicked Wheeljack flying a few times. That’d teach him to make remarks about Galvatron it didn’t.
What? Smiling whenever he looks at the purple clone? Hahahaha nooooo… no… maybe ok he loves Galvatron, screw you, that daft Galvs makes his Spark do the fluttery thing aaaa
Transforms into a jet, it’s big enough for the likes of Megatron and Galvatron to stand on (but not ride in) but still makes for good/decent fortified transport. Can fit all of the human cast in his cockpit though.
Likes to glare in through the Autobot base window just to remind them of where they stand if he feels any of them are getting to close to considering him or Galvatron a friend.
Can wiggle his wings to emote but only when relaxed.
Needs more Galvatron
