Transformers: Skirmish Of The Seekers
Continuity: Animated
A few days after the (second) death of Starscream in the S3 finale…
Thrust arrived at Swindle's ship.
Why does Swindle get to have all the good weapons? He thought to himself.
Once Thrust reached the ship's hangar, he transformed into robot mode. He walked over to one of the ship's shiny walls (which he polished) and looked at his reflection.
I can't stand this ridiculous red paint. Why can't I be a better colour? Like green?
He shook his head and walked off.
"Ah, there you are, Dirge!" Swindle exclaimed as Thrust walked into the room. He stopped counting the shanix on his desk to look at Thrust.
"My name is Thrust." The red Starscream clone corrected Swindle with an annoyed tone.
"Yeah yeah, there's hardly a difference between you two! Anyway, I need you to stack some boxes of shanix in Cargo Bay 2. Use the forklift if you really need to." Swindle gave Thrust a task to keep him busy.
Thrust sighed.
"Yes, Sir Swindle." Thrust turned and walked out of the room.
Why can't Dirge do it instead? Thrust lamented as he walked towards the hangar. Just as he was about to transform and fly off, Dirge appeared.
"Hey! Where are you going?" The blue Starscream clone asked.
"I'm going elsewhere. I'm off to find more Starscream clones." Thrust replied without turning to look at Dirge.
"I'm coming with you. I'm tired of working for Swindle, he doesn't pay me enough." The greedy Dirge stated and transformed into jet mode. Thrust would also transform into jet mode and the two clones flew off.
Swindle entered the hangar quick enough to watch them leave.
"Hey, you can't leave! You haven't stacked the boxes yet! Ah, forget it." Swindle tried to call out to them but gave up.
A few hours of flying later.
"How long is this going to take?" Dirge asked, bored.
"I see a planet down there!" Thrust pointed out the planet "Exbar" to Dirge and they both landed on the surface. There was a market event happening. Most of the people were either Cybertronian or robotic in nature. Thrust walked up to one of the customers. The customer seemed to be a Cybertronian male with wheels on his shoulders. He had red and grey paint on his body.
"Excuse me, my fellow cybertronian, do you happen to know anyone that looks like me?" Thrust asked the red and grey bot.
"How dare you!" He responded.
"What?" Thrust tilted his head, confused.
"I am NOT a cybertronian, you racist! I am a gobotian!"
"…okay." Thrust turned and walked away while the gobotian kept angrily ranting.
Suddenly, the gobotian shot Thrust in the back.
"What was that for?!" Thrust, now on the floor, angrily shouted.
The gobotian slowly approached Thrust, weapon out, ready to finish him off.
As Thrust was about to die, the gobotian's back exploded and he collapsed.
Thrust looked up at his saviour. They appeared to be a female purple Starscream clone, with cyan wings and legs.
"Who are you?" Both Thrust and Dirge asked at the same time.
Notes: Guess who the "gobotian" is in the reviews ;-)
