3rd. Do not hassle Starscream (G1)
--
One of the most notable characters of the Transformers Universe, Starscream is the Second in Command of the Decepticons and the Air Commander of the Seekers. However, he is a very treacherous Decepticon with great ambitions and intends to overthrow Megatron, although his futile attempts seem to have him scorned more and receiving several beatings from the leader. He is also a coward and will not hesitate to leave you in the mist of battle when the opposite faction has the upper hand. However, Starscream knows full well that humans do not stand a chance against the Transformer race.
Therefore, do hassle the Seeker. I know you want to, but don't. However, these situations probably will only arrive if you are held hostage or if the decepticons plan an assault (or something of it) in an area you are conveniently in.
If you are held hostage by the decepticons, chances are that you may not be harmed unless the Autobots declines the trading, in which the chances are very slim. You may have a few decepticons overseers. They are more likely to be Soundwave, Frenzy, Rumble, or Thundercracker, but it can be one of the Constructicons. If you somehow cross paths with Starscream, he will probably look at you in disdain and complain at how fragile and weak your race is. Do not speak against him. If left alone, he can go against his orders and crush you. He'll later answer to Megatron, but you would be rather too…dead, for it to benefit you. Also, the whiny egomaniacal Mech is known to harbor grudges. So don't try to tick him off. Although Starscream doesn't hate humans as much as Megatron, he still wants your submission, whether it be by force or by your own will. Always keep that in mind.
If the Decepticons are attacking an area you happened to be in, and you happen to still remain there to get spotted (for it is a wise decision to leave as soon as possible the moment of their arrival), avoid Starscream and Megatron (mainly Megatron). If Starscream manages to spot you, don't come up with insults or snappy comebacks. He'll only mock you or hurt you. Chances are more likely he'll hurt you. Instead, run (he may simply ignore you or laugh at you or may shoot at you. Hope for the first choice) and hide. If you can't run, beg (as it will please him) or remain silent.
Questions and Answers
Q: Um, should I correct him when he proclaims that he's the leader of the Decepticons?
A: No, do not. Although we know full well that Megatron is the leader, correcting him will anger him and will result in something painful for you. But don't worry, Megatron will correct him, through abuse.
Q: His voice is kind of…screechy and it is hurting my ears. What do I do?
A: Suck it up. It is his voice that gives him character.
Q: Um, there is his strange looking character that looks like Starscream, but it isn't the same color. How do I know it is him?
A: Fool! You know nothing of Starscream's traditional colored armor plating! Starscream is red, white, and blue with some yellow. If blue, it is Thundercracker. If purple, it is Skywarp. And if yellow, it is Sunstorm. (How the heck did you run into this Decepticon is beyond me, but if you do, you are screwed)
Well, not too much to do to avoid Starscream's wrath is it? Oh well, your encounter with this Mech will be blissfully (or for Starscream fans, unfortunately) short.
This one wasn't as funny, but oh well! I'm practicing my art skills to see if I can put it on Deviantart.
Next will be either Swindle or Ratchet. I'll hold a vote! Please post your votes by the end of next week!
