LOL! XD Starscream killed Silverbolt, arguably the most elite of the Aerialbots. It's one of the things he credits himself with during his rant to Nighttrace, and quite possibly his most brutal battle in his career. Yippee! :D
He's just really good at hiding it ;) Beware them all! Yes indeedy! A shame Starscream killed off the best Aerialbot, though.
He's a crude, vulgar, hateful jerk, but at least he can say sorry to some people :lol Yep; you can't keep a good Wave down! :D Fun fact: Aerialbots exist in the Metaverse, but, in a similar concept to Screamer's Seekers, they are elite flying units rather than a combiner team :)
Well, even Barricade isn't a total monster. He did apologise to Slippy in Medical Memoirs. He's never apologised to anyone else :) Soundwave is a smart guy; he'd probably figure it out. You'd be surprised at what his motivations can be :D
Would make sense; Screamer is the worst Decepticon who could kill Jazz, because he'd get more power from it, and that power would make him more dangerous :D Ooooh, Barricade, that's evil...... I like it. It's pretty much exactly what Cade would do, just screw around until he found a situation he liked, and then subtly killed off rivals for giggles. Well played. Poor Slipstream, though; it's always the nice ones that get the worst of it X_X
Poor Bots. Be covert or be dead X_X I wonder how the main Decepticons are doing. I suspect, if this is all based on Hound's fears, that Starscream was the one who murdered Jazz?
Interesting, very interesting. So the rookies and a few of the veterans are what remains of our main team (excluding an AWOL Grimlock and a psycho-faction-switch Arcee), while Bee had to be rebuilt and has lost his best friend, his mentor (until now) and other friends too. Oh gosh, poor chaps :( And now Megatron rules Cybertron, and if he's secured the strongest of the planets, as well as wiped out the Autrio, then that means other Autobot territories have probably been overrun as well. This really is a world where the Decepticons won, huh.
PAY ATTENTION TO HIM, ADORE HIM, BOW TO HIM, LOVE HIM! Barricade is prettier than both Waves put together! Mwahahaha! :D It was perturbing; poor Hound trapped into an awful universe where the Decepticons won and only a few meagre resistance squads are left. I want to know more about it! :D
It's so true; Screamer is just too full of himself to realise the Lieutenant can't care :lol Yay! :D Dat Lamborghini mode. Dat Mustang mode. I want cars as awesomely fantastic as them! And yes. Barricade is much prettier than that one-eyed jerk! :D I saw your latest drabble, and I was totally thrilled. I love it! :D
My favourite rivals too; it helps that the feeling is quite mutual in its hatred, rather than Starscream's clinginess and Jazz's disregard :lol Ah, fair point. Still, you don't have to worry; I love theories regardless :D They're great, so great. Cars gotta stick together :lol
Starscream and Jazz may be the top tier of the crews and are lethal rivals in their own right, but they can't match the personal hatred and disgust between the Mustang and the jeep! :D Well, regardless of how correct they may be, theories are still fun. I like the idea of, well, making up ideas and finding out stuff and what not :D If Barricade fell into a ditch and couldn't get out, Soundwave would help him out. If Soundwave fell into a ditch and couldn't get out, Barricade would laugh at him, leave, then later tell Slipstream and then, when she goes to get Soundwave out, says that he HAD to leave in case of Autobots and he wanted to help, but what if Autobots ambushed them?! And Soundwave would punch him and then they'd go play video games :D
I like to call them evil counterparts because of their similar abilities (holograms and cloaking, both evasive camouflages) and their different natures (a nice guy vs a cruel brute) :D Ooh, a theory! I love theories! :D Bye, ninjas! Dinos are cooler! :D They probably just want to shoot each other, but they can't 'cause everyone else is even worse company :lol
Barricade and Hound are Arch-Enemies and Evil Counterparts, with Hound being The Nice One to Barricade's For the Evulz. Grimlock also puts the Awesome in Instant Awesome, just add Dinosaurs :D Hound's training seems to put Bee as a Fragile Speedster/Glass Cannon, while Evac is a Mighty Glacier/Strong but Unskilled. Vitriolic Best Buds in the form of Barricade and Soundwave, and two more Even Evil has Loved Ones with Starscream/Nighttrace and Airachnid/Slipstream :D
Barricade has his fair share of Berserk Buttons too :D Grimlock is both The Berserker and is also subject to Awesome but Impractical; powerful as his saurian form is, it lacks the dexterity and technological adept features of humanoids. Starscream seems to be a Lightning Bruiser, very strong and terrifyingly fast. At his best, Bee can pull off real Shock and Awe, and Evac and Grimlock have Kill It With Fire weapons :D Nighttrace certainly has the Winged Humanoid feature :D
Yes indeedy! I love going through TV tropes :D Five-Man Band! The Hero: Jazz The Lancer: Hound The Big Guy: Grimlock/Evac The Smart Guy: Ratchet/Wheeljack The Bumblebee: [SPOILER] And Five-Bad Band! Big Bad: Starscream The Dragon: Nighttrace Evil Genius: Soundwave/Slipstream The Brute: Barricade. Mooks: The Seekers Team Pet: Waspinator :D
He'll be good. TV Tropes would probably call him a Genius Bruiser; anyone who can go toe-to-toe with Grimlock, as well as secure himself as the top scientist on the Darksyde, should live up to that title :D
FOR SCIENCE! :bay Speaking of science, it will get even more sciency when Grindor shows up. Like Wheeljack, he's a renowned Decepticon engineer and inventor, but unlike Wheeljack, he lacks the reputation of blowing things up in a daydream :lol Grindor is sort of a parallel to both Wheeljack and Grimlock, in that he combines their best traits (Wheeljack's scientific gadgets and versatility and Grimlock's brute force and durability). In order to defeat Grindor, you need to not only get through his armour, but you have to be ready for menagerie of tricks he has in store ;)
