totally random, but i started watching transformers prime on netflix (actually quite fun!) and like everyone is all “starscream you suck at leading, blah blah blah” but like, chain smoker seeker SIC StarScream totally lead the decepticons for like 3 slagging years?? while Megs was off on his space spiritual journey of procrastination??? and managed to not only continue successfully operating mining of a resource in numerous locations, but did it so well that the autobots literally thought the decepticons had left the planet??
like, how does someone manage to hide the fact that giant robots are going all over the world and sneaking around to loudly dig underground and keep it all from radar detection??? dude, starscream is the shit
