There's a cruel sort of salvation in this abuse as well, given that Starscream was utterly broken at this point, Megatron gave him purpose in his failures by saying he needed them to rule most effectively. While a far cry from actual mental help or the care and attention he actually needs, it's a small thing to hold onto. Megatron practically twisted Starscreams depression to serve him. Now that, is evil.

@Charisma Clayton Yeah, they had a lot of fights, I think Megatron needs a long process to change his ways and realize that "those minor things" are also wrong, because it's obvious that he now regrets his actions and the long war, suffering and death he caused but understanding that he also harmed people by being abusive (either physically or verbally) is something that he will have to keep learning along the way. The writer of the comic said he would have liked to explore his relationship with Starscream but unfortunately he didn't have time and had to wrap up a lot of things up which made the ending look quite rushed sadly.
@nooneishere8466
@nooneishere8466 3 года назад
@Charisma Clayton At that point, he was still learning how to do things the Autobot way. And let's be honest, Rodimus provoked Megatron too. However, after Megatron is left behind in the Functionist Universe and then comes back a couple of issues later, he doesn't fight with Rodimus. That's because he had spent 800 years outside of the universe where he came from and that's enough time for him how to control his anger and that he doesn't have to argue with anyone about anything. Reading post FU Megatron, it gives me the vibes of a much calmer Megatron

As I am closely aligned to both Unicron and Primus. I would have punished Starscream for failing to lead the Decepticons. However, not to the malicious degree as Megatron. To give a bone for a chance to stand against me in the end future, that I am merciful to all. There are some stories where I would have chosen a different outcome. If I was in Megatron's position, then lead the hand of the redeemer rather than the executioner. However, unlike Megatron or Optimus. If the entire cosmos proves to be a failure at the end of Fate. No matter of the infinite futures... I will inevitably end everything in existence, and from there, I will make the final choice. To give the cosmos her life once more, or to finally end the cycle while I slumber for countless eternities. A bitter sweet ending, but one, I am willing to carry out to the very end. Or at least... I would do so. But what I say and what I do is kin to Unicron and Primus... Even I would construct a weapon to be the third voice in which all shall be judged. But such a weapon will require the Spark of a true Prime... One who is worthy to challenge my will.

He's humiliated in front of everyone, he doesn't gain anyone's respect, not even his leader. The abuse verbal, emotional, physical is enough to make him lose faith, hope, and will. He does and doesn't deserve the punishment, there is so much going on in Starscream's life that brings him down, he will offline himself if it keeps up. Megatron doesn't need to bring him down if something wasn't his fault. If you hate Starscream now, you may reconsider if you think about how much Megatron brings him down and abuses him.

Dude I cried too. A lot. Similar to Starscream, all I’ve ever wanted in my life is respect and love, but I only receive pain and torment from my peers. I’m so happy my high school days are now behind me. This comic with Starscream gives off the same mood of my high school experience. Pain and suffering, physically and emotionally, despite trying my best to fit in. I never had the pleasure of a first girlfriend. I had only one friend, who I vowed to protect with my life. Although uncommon, whenever something bad happened to them, whether it be physically or mentally, I felt tremendous guilt, even if it was outside of my control. I felt like I’ve failed them, and would be crushed with guilt and self-blame for days, sometimes even weeks. Even now after high school, I feel horrible about my experiences, kind of a form of PTSD if that makes any sense. After seeing just how hard everyday life can be, I’ve almost completely lost faith in living a happy life, and have lost hope that things will get better. Sometimes, I barely had any energy or motivation to get out of bed. Half the nights I cried myself to sleep. I adopted the mindset of do what needs to be done and nothing more, and became somewhat of an autonomous machine. And all this went on for FOUR YEARS. If you read this 11 months later, thank you. Even though you’re just an internet stranger, it sometimes helps me to unload my life story on someone who can understand or connect with the experiences I’ve gone through.

There have been instances where Starscream has revealed something about how he’s alone, disrespected and unable to reach out for help, because Megatron will inevitably beat him down emotionally and physically. He expects to be punished even when he’s undeserving of it and triggers Megatron to get the incident over with. He acts out, trying to be noticed, even if being noticed gets him slagged (by Autobots or other Decepticons as well as Megatron). We also get to see that, over the vorns, Starscream’s initial hero worship has been twisted by fear and resentment, but he’s unable to flee; he’s burnt too many bridges... These are all documented, but lesser known, abuse victim behaviours. This one issue really, really shook me and proved that comics have truly grown up. It’s a compact example of both sides in an abusive relationship and viscerally more powerful than the confrontation Megatron engineers in the Armada cartoon. I couldn’t read it in one sitting and, yes, I wept. What makes it all the more painful is the knowledge that Starscream has sacrificed everything to bring Megatron back online in the new, more powerful body he uses to wreck his already beaten SIC. You can find more information on abuse on reputable internet sites and books.
@NoahLoydOG
@NoahLoydOG 2 года назад
Something similar comes in a line from Starscream in Transformers: Armada; to Megatron, Starscream says, "I tried to gain favor from you, but nothing I did was ever good enough." I and many others have probably felt the same way or said this to someone in our own lives, whether a loved one, or our boss, or someone else important to us. The characterizations of Starscream that I have most enjoyed (or even gravitated to) are those that embrace the very human emotions that come from intense loyalty. Starscream wanted someone to recognize him, to look at him and see someone dependable, to see the things he has spent his life trying to accomplish; being constantly shot down without remorse builds a self-fulfilling prophecy of bungling and failure, where he knows he is expected to fail, so he subconsciously enters into an engagement expecting to fail too. When you know it's impossible to succeed, not because you actually can't succeed, but because it doesn't matter to the person you look to for acceptance whether you succeed or not, life starts to lose meaning, as can be seen in IDW's Starscream in this particular issue. Perhaps the saddest part was that, even in the moments where he opened fire on Megatron, it was likely rooted in his very loyalty to him: 'Can't you see what condition I'm in? How could you be so cruel?' Starscream needs a hug.

I agree. Megatron was given a redemption arc and I'm not saying he shouldn't have one, but Megatron is the cause of Starscream becoming what he became. Starscream deserves redemption and love too. He never wanted the war and was always saying how he thought it was a long drawn out conflict, saying things like "If I was in charge the war would've been over eons ago." But Megatron is so wrapped up in his own bitterness, resentment, and hatred of how he was treated as a miner and his determination to conquer the universe that he has completely ignored the damage that he's done emotionally, physically, and psychologically to Starscream. He needs to pay it forward to Starscream in some way.

@Crimson The Thunder Knight Did you read the comics? Before the events of "All hail Megatron, which is when the "Abuse of Starscream" takes place, Starscream tried to kill Megatron by supercharging himself with ore 13. Before the Autobot Decepticon war, Starscream was a scammer. He would con people out of money. Eventually he became a senator and when got tired of the politics, he scammed his constituents out of their money and quit. He then used this money to recruit Skyward and Thundercracker. Starscream then convinced those two to change their bodies so that they would look identical to Starscream. He did this so that it would make it harder for him to be jailed for tax evasion. Starscream is not innocent at all here. He got what was coming to him

Here’s one deep from a very old and very deep emotional scar I’ve had with me for a very long time. This is a starscream I can relate to. My mother I think always got a rush out of hurting me emotionally, it seemed to give her pleasure since she couldn’t physically hurt me. Had I been this starscream I probably would have left the leading to soundwave and just vanished. In real life I did just that and tried to put as much distance between my mother and myself as I could. It’s been over 20 years since I did that and this has dredged up memories I thought forgotten. I would have written this as Starscream just left and nobody ever saw him again. Maybe he found what he was looking for somewhere out there in the infinite void

I'm sorry to hear how badly your mother treated you, brother. I can't relate to it exactly but, my mother ran away from me. Twice. Once when I was 2 and the other when i was 13. I wont forget the crying nights I had asking "why can't she visit me?" I eventually got help and learned to forgive her. Even got asked twice if I would want to see her again. I answered; "No. She had her second chance." I had no hatred in my heart for her. But I know she cared about me enough to know i was safe and well raised with my grandparents. I'm not gonna try to pretend to be a psychiatrist or anything but I do hope that one day, you could make peace with not only your mother, but with yourself as well. God bless you man.

Sometimes you’ve got to see your situation is not going to change and you’ve got to effect your own change. For me it was seeing where I worked. I was never going to get a pay raise. And there was a coworker who liked to mess with people and wasn’t willing to quit. I realized that I needed to be the change I sought. Ultimately I found a better emotional situation and the happiness that I was looking for. If starscream just cleared out then maybe he might find something worth pursuing either like thundercracker living on earth as a free cybertronian or maybe joining the autobots and seeing what it’s like actually fighting for a purpose

Because I love IDW so much, I'm leaving a second comment. Starscream is, like Megatron and Ratchet, a perfect representation of what IDW2005's Transformers run represents. Starscream isn't some body, and a name used to sell toys, he isn't a Flanderized husk of pervious iterations. Starscream is what makes IDW great. He is a person. Having been beaten, and hurt. Having been redeemed and praised. He is a person with a life that is told throughout IDW's run. And what is possibly the most beautiful thing in that universe is his final appearance. Where he states that its okay if he's not remembered for being a savior. That he's just happy being remembered.

"Tired of the bone-deep chill of losing, Starscream? Then stand WITH me" I think that says everything about Megatron and Starscream. That and "... I almost mean it". Megatron feels as though Starscream needs him. He somewhat admires the viciousness and cunning that Starscream holds within him. He sees the potential he holds, maybe even fears it. He would never kill Starscream because deep down he needs him too. But as the brutal warlord he is, he can't stand the idea of Starscreams aspirations blossoming, so he keeps him in check, feeding his own toxic lust for cruelty that truly makes him evil rather than the liberator he claims to be. I think the war truly warped them both.

This echoes back to the G I Joe cartoon(just not as sadistic or brutal). In the episodes where Serpentor gains leadership of Cobra, Cobra Commander ends up saving Serpentor and delivers an excellent rebuttal when Serpentor threatens him. Essentially Serpentor needs a scapegoat. He's brilliant, and charismatic. However, he's also violent, arrogant, stubborn, and unstable. Serpentor needs Cobra Commander to assume his failures. Starscream is similar. He's needed because he offers EXACTLY what the Decepticons philosophy dictates. A hunger and ambition to gain power, but the inability to wield the power as well as Megatron. So even if Starscream has moments of glory, his failures, either his own OR Megatron's are to portray that iron fist. No matter how competent, or cunning Starscream is, That only Megatron can lead, despite failing often himself. Starscream is the scapegoat.

Aside from the obvious, what also gets me here is that in every iteration I've seen (which is admittedly far from all all), Megatron routinely treats Starscream with massive disrespect despite his high rank, using him as a scapegoat and punching bag. Megatron sets up a long standing precedent of Star not being respected, so it is no surprise he isn't respected should he be put in a position of being leader. Even if some do regard him well, as after all he is highly intelligent and capable, the sheer tide of so many others still following Megatron's example would inevitably sway the whole group against him. Megatron set all this up himself.... then he takes it out on Star when he is revived and sees his abused second can't manage leadership, as though Star himself is entirely to blame? Yeah, Megatron can go take a swan dive into a black hole.
