Oh my gosh, so I didn’t remember seeing this part, I must have been doing something else when I was watching it so I just HAD to look for it and it was ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS. ((I know you were probably asking me to create something, but lemme just share the moment for everyone who hasn’t seen or doesn’t remember this beautiful MegaScream moment.))
So the insecticons had Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp all under mind control, and made them go after Megatron and Optimus, so Megatron shoos them away with a weak blast, and calling them fools, as per usual, but noticeably more gentle/lenient since he knows they’re under mind control, which is something Megatron himself is really sensitive about.
(Look at them run away in sync they’re really cute…. And Megatron can’t help but watch them, too. [Obviously out of concern, but come on, they really are cute.])
Once the effect burnt out when the insecticon exploded, they come running in like “What happened?”
Then BAM!
The insecticons barrel past the fliers, escaping before Megatron has a chance to punish them.
And what was that? Megatron helping Starscream up? No, my dear friend, Starscream was already standing by the time Megatron rushed up to him. This, my darling, was a pure, honest to god,hand-hold. Serving no other purpose, than to show concern for Starscream.
Heres’s a still:
Like…. Megatron reaches both hands out to Starscream, and I have no doubts he would’ve helped him up, but Starscream was too fast, so instead they share this moment of pure hand holding and a loving gaze, before chasing after the insecticons together.
This is genuinely very sweet, and also I just want to point out poor Skywarp there, who’s still struggling up from his hands and knees during this. I just imagine him going, “Boss, can I get a hand up here?… Boss? Boss?” while Megatron and Starscream are making heart eyes at each other. 😛
