[Video] Too many Starscreams in the kitchen ruin the plot

[sparkless]

[The video shows Starscream lounging in his quarters at Supreme Buckethead's Megatronus Prime's haven. By the view from his window its readily apparent he's chosen the highest room he could find unoccupied on one of the two towers.]

Alright, let's get this out of the way right now.

Exactly how many worthless copies of me are there? I'm sick of being mixed up with fat versions, skinny versions, blocky versions... its ridiculous.

So. I've devised a brilliant way of distinguishing us all. No more confusion. [No more undeserved punches in the face.]

[my_own_trope]

Yes, about that. Who is your patron?

[sparkless]

[Ugh, he was actually hoping you wouldn't ask that.]

....Megatronus. [He refuses to add the Prime part because that is stupid.]

[my_own_trope]

[He winces, glad this is audio. It doesn't carry in his voice when he says next]

I see some Starscreams clearly aren't able to get out from under a Megatron's thumb.

[That gets an instant snarl from him. Talons curl into fists and his wings flatten out.

Oh no you didn't.]

I am not- in any way- under his thumb! It's the complete opposite! Obviously, I am the only Starscream good enough at what I do to attract a Megatron!

[Yes, that makes him feel a lot better about his alignment. Brilliant!]

[not really a comment but...]

[raceme]

[Blurr's popcorngifing so much at you two, you are a riot.

Now, feel free to kill each other, he will be cheering spying observing from the sidelines ]

[my_own_trope]

[Suddenly all these months of being without resources, allies, or Megatron's favour seem like they'd actually been a good idea.
At the display, his own wings shift and fan in response, but with a smugness that drips from his voice]

Some of us can do better. Some of us don't need him.

[Guess having hideous clones isn't so bad. Especially when THIS Starscream is so much more superior.]

[sparkless]

You... You're one of those inferior copies of me, aren't you?

Who said I needed him?! He needs me! You're just jealous you were too worthless to even consider picking!

[Private Audio]

[my_own_trope]

Inferior? Hah! Hardly.

I've long since cut my ties to Megatron. I answer to no one and no longer do I need to endure his company.

But I see the same can't be said for all for us. You clearly can't seem to rise above your need for your old masters.

It's pathetic, really~.

Re: [Private Audio]

[sparkless]

Oh, really? I see. So you've given up.

I ally myself with the strongest so that I can later usurp them. You're obviously too weak to do that.

So enjoy your 'freedom'. I'll be the one running this place in the end!

[my_own_trope]

I've given up nothing! I don't need him; I've surpassed him! [He has to take a moment to calm himself down]

Discretion isn't one of your strong suites either, I see. And you're the weak one if you have to go crawling back to the first stand in you can find. Some of us have been chosen by a much more superior patron. But I wouldn't expect you to know anything about that sort of thing, given how you're apparently satisfied with your 'Megatron.'

Hmph. We'll see who's running this place in the end. And here's a hint; it won't be you.
