video fwded to after the other Starscream's

[aerospacecommander]

Greetings my fellow shipmates. Since my alternate and far less charming version of me decided to place himself in your business I thought I might as well introduce myself.

My name is also Starscream. However, I'm not going to claim false responsibility over the majority of my people. I know I hold no authority over them and it would be foolish and dishonest to claim otherwise. Why my counterpart felt the need to deceive you, I have no idea. Please accept my apologies on his behalf.

With that said, it has come to my attention that former commander of 'my' faction is no longer fit for the job and I will be stepping up due to my rank in that regard. You can direct any issues concerning hostilities or problems from members of the Decepticons to me.

For those of you who don't know, look for this symbol.

[He'll point to the purple symbol on his wings.]

Those of my species with a different symbol, usually red, are Autobots and they have their own commander though I am not sure who exactly would be in charge of them on this ship. Usually they follow someone by the name of Optimus Prime. In his absence they seem to be a little disorganized if not embarrassing. I'm going to make a guess that Bumblebee will be the one you want to go to for them, but again I don't know exactly. This is just an assumption based upon what I've observed intelligence wise.

Ah, I think that's it. Thank you for your time.

Starscream out.

You didn't have flying Autobots? That little Bumblebee knock-off said the same thing.

[aerospacecommander]

No, there are some just not many.

It was more that if you joined the Decepticons and didn't already have the ability? Megatron forced you through a reformatting process. Very painful from what I've been told.

[iseedeadbees]

Can't say my Megatron really pulled anything like that. There were uses for land and sea based alt-modes just as much as there were for flyers.

[aerospacecommander]

No, I mean some still kept their other altmodes. They just gained flight abilities as well.

[iseedeadbees]

Ah hah, I thought you meant a full reformat. My Megatron definitely didn't do that.

[aerospacecommander]

What did he do? Other than run off and join the Autobots that is.

[iseedeadbees]

The Autobot thing is actually a pretty recent change. As for what he's done, it might be quicker to list off what he never got around to trying.

[aerospacecommander]

I'll just go through a list of things mine has attempted.

Lets see ...

Mechaform Earth? Turn Cybertron into a mobile battlestation? Attempt to persuade Optimus Prime into joining his cause by beating him into submission?

[iseedeadbees]

No on the first two, but it seemed like every time they met on the battle field, Metagron and Optimus were trying to persuade each other to join their side. Mostly in the early days, but either way.
