I'll Never See You Again (If I Can Help It) by Hoard_of_hyperfixations
Fandoms: Transformers Generation One, Transformers - All Media Types
03 Jul 2025

Summary
“Skyfire is a traitor,” he seethes to no one in particular. Maybe saying it out loud will get it past his thick helm and into his processor.
Even if he wasn't a traitor, Starscream is far from the little rich jet from Vos that Skyfire knew, all bright eyed and excited to see new places. Whatever relationship had existed between them was long dead, doomed from the start no matter who Skyfire aligned himself with.
Starscream isn't the same Starscream that Skyfire had grown fond of.
-
Starscream justifies his ruination of his relationship with Skyfire. It can't be his fault. He's done nothing wrong. He refuses to feel guilt for this.

Summary
Starscream: Status: Responsive to positive stimuli.
Escalated praise = heightened obedience. Marked shift in tone and demeanor. Further experimentation recommended.
Physical contact [minimal] yields maximum results. Increase gradually. Observe.
-
Megatron finds that an unconventional hand gets better behavior out of his second-in-command. It's intriguing.
...And then he gets carried away.

I Live Deliberately (I'm A Quitter) by Hoard_of_hyperfixations

Summary
Prime moves swiftly, with purpose—lifting, shifting, tossing debris aside as though it weighs nothing. His steps are careful but unrelenting, the ground shaking just slightly under each one. The tremor of the rubble vibrates through Starscream and it feels like knives being jabbed into his wires.
Of course Optimus Prime would show up. Of course he'd come for one of his own.
He can't even delegate this to someone else. Optimus Prime is too noble, too compassionate, too honorable to not put his own life on the line for his underlings.
Megatron would laugh at the very notion.
-
Starscream is left to rust after a failed decepticon mission. Optimus Prime does not let him die.

Summary
“I don't see why it matters whether or not I'm cogged. It's just the planetarium.” Starscream mutters petulantly, dropping the scrap into the cart. “Anyway, could you imagine having cogs? I bet I'd be something amazing. Something sleek. A bike, maybe. Or a jet-”
“I'd be a gun,” D-16 interrupts, leveling him with a flat look, “and I would shoot you.”
Starscream frowns.
“...In the face.” D-16 adds, as if clarification was needed.
-
What if Transformers One was about the rise of the decepticon high command rather than the autobots? Featuring cogless Starscream, Soundwave, and Shockwave as well as Thundercracker and Skywarp.

Summary
“Your fans are going.” Megatron notes.
Starscream abruptly becomes aware of the sound of cooling fans, his cooling fans, whirring loudly in the quiet lab. He immediately halts them.
“Shut up.”
“You're going to overheat.”
“I am aware of how heats work.” Starscream snaps. Megatron takes a step closer and Starscream's wings flatten against his back strut, processor going blank for a moment. He has the strangest urge to get down on all fours and-
“A lab is no place to have a heat.” Megatron rumbles.

Summary
“Can you even talk?” Starscream asks bluntly, lifting a servo to check his talons. After a beat of silence, he looks back up. The mech, Soundwave, was it?, nods once, curt and simple.
Starscream rolls his optics.
Ugh. Soldiers are always so dull.
“Speak.” He commands.
“Soundwave: fully capable of speech, Prince Starscream.” Soundwave says, voice low and electronic.
Starscream arches an optic ridge.
“Good boy.” He muses. “I suppose you make a decent enough guard cyber-dog. Do you know other tricks, too?” He cocks his helm, smirking. “Fetch, maybe? Shake?”
Soundwave says nothing.
“Let’s try something simple, dog.” Starscream shifts over on the berth and condescendingly pats the spot beside him. “Sit.”

Summary
“Me Grimlock crush enemies,” he rumbles, “but Starscream not worth effort.”
Starscream gawks. He doesn't know if he's more offended or relieved.
“Excuse me?”
“Pathetic. Small. Weak.” Grimlock shakes his helm dismissively, tail thudding against the dirt like a gavel. “Not challenge. Not fun.”
Starscream bristles, indignant despite the situation.
“‘Not fun’? I’ll have you know-”
“Quiet.” Grimlock growls, turning away. His tail knocks a tree over. He doesn't seem to notice. “Stay out of Grimlock’s way. Or next time, Starscream not be so lucky.”
-
Starscream crash lands on Dinobot Island. The only way he's going to survive long enough to get off the Primus-forsaken rock is to somehow convince an apex predator to protect him.

Summary
“Perhaps you need some motivation to be truthful for once, traitorous little wretch.” Megatron growls.
Starscream swallows hard, desperately going over his options in his processor.
Megatron drags Starscream's helm up and back by his jaw, forcing him to look up at him.
“You've always looked best when you're scared.” He muses, brushing his thumb against the side of Starscream's neck. His touch is almost mockingly tender in contrast to the rough treatment.
-
Starscream was caught trying to overthrow Megatron.
...Again.
Megatron wants the truth out of him. It takes work to get it.

Summary
Starscream’s optics narrow into furious slits.
“You think I’d lower myself to consorting with an autobot?”
Jazz shifts, deliberately pressing closer, his frame slotting against Starscream’s thigh, hot vents fanning against his faceplate.
“Feels like you already have. You're twitchin’ like a malfunctioning lil’ thing every time I move.”
-
Starscream and Jazz get stuck in a cramped box together. They find a way to pass the time.

Summary
He doesn't recall everything. They both had several rounds of high-grade. Knockout kept calling him ‘Commander’ in a way that squirmed under his casing. He complimented his finish. Starscream complimented his work. More high-grade. And then he vaguely remembers noting how the high-grade tasted better on Knockout's glossa-
Oh, Primus.
-
"Woke up next my favorite coworker" meme + "hey me and my girl saw you across the bar and we like your vibe" ahh KOBD = Starscream is SO confused. Title from "Wish You Were Sober" but also a reference to three's a crowd or whateveh. NO THEY DON'T CHEAT.

Summary
“You’re insufferable!” Starscream snaps. “Let me go!”
Megatron presses closer and pulls his arm a little higher, until Starscream’s pedes lift off the ground just slightly.
“If I release you,” he says idly, brushing his derma against Starscream’s audial, “you will immediately try to stab me again.”
Starscream grunts.
“Obviously.”
Megatron’s engine purrs at the honesty.
-
Or, the one where Starscream tries to kill Megatron during interfacing.
...A lot.

Summary
Starscream swears.
“Too early,” he mutters, banking hard. “They’ve changed patterns- Onslaught, now, veer left! Left!”
There’s a nanoklik of hesitation.
Then Onslaught snaps, “all units, comply!”
The ground team swerves just as a barrage of fire tears through the space they would have occupied.
-
You'd think Starscream and the combaticons would get along, considering. They do not. I'm fixing that.

I Aim Low (I Aim True) by Hoard_of_hyperfixations
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types

Tags
Summary
Starscream’s optics flick up, sharp and piercing, scanning the room for the first time.
They land on Jazz.
Jazz keeps his posture rigid, blank, obedient. He’s been under Optimus Prime’s gaze, under Prowl's, under far more respectable mechs than Starscream; he knows how to hold steady under scrutiny.
Starscream’s stare is… Different.
Calculating. Predatory. Uncomfortably sharp, like a dagger pressed under his chin.
“You.” Starscream says, pointing with the mug. “New.”
Jazz snaps a salute a half-klik faster than regulation.
“Yes, sir. Adagio, sir.”
“I didn’t ask.” Starscream sneers.
-
Jazz goes undercover in the decepticon ranks. He learns more about Starscream and Megatron than he'd intended.

Summary
“Easy there,” Jazz murmurs, sounding far too pleased with himself. “Didn’t mean to rile you up that much, Wings.”
Starscream bristles, vents stuttering, wings twitching in erratic little bursts as he glares down at the mech below him.
“I am not riled. You simply provoked an entirely reasonable tactical response.”
“Tacklin’ me into a ditch is tactical now?”
“Yes,” Starscream snaps. “If it makes you stop talking.”
-
Jazz has a bad habit of flirting with the wrong people at the worst of times. Or maybe the right people at the... Well, still the worst of times.
Either way, making out with an autobot in a ditch is not the stupidest thing Starscream has ever done.

Summary
“It's not particularly unsanitary.”
“It's disgusting.”
Ratchet's brow ridge twitches in annoyance.
“Starscream.” He says flatly. “You've ripped mechs apart with your denta.”
“Yes,” Starscream turns his olfactory up, “and none of that involved my glossa in their arrays.”
-
Or, Starscream thinks valve oral is gross, and Ratchet proves him wrong.

An Unethical Science Experiment by Hoard_of_hyperfixations

Summary
“Megatron-”
“You've caught the most useless member of the autobots. Shall we celebrate? Throw a party in your honor?” Megatron sneers.
Starscream bristles, baring his sharp denta.
“He's their scientist, you dimwitted, rust-ridden-”
“He doesn't do anything!” Megatron snaps, gesturing with one large servo towards Wheeljack, whose optics keep darting back and forth between the two like he's watching some kind of sport play out right in front of him, stasis cuffs on his wrists and a shock collar around his neck cabling.
-
Starscream captures the autobots' scientist, Wheeljack!
Megatron is... not impressed.
Err... Somehow, Wheeljack is, though...?

Optimus Prime's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Cycle by Hoard_of_hyperfixations
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types
23 May 2026
Tags
Summary
Optimus has watched Starscream, decepticon air commander and loyal (ish) second to the ruthless Megatron, die, approximately twenty times.
It's disturbing.
He doesn't like Starscream. Nobody likes Starscream. But Optimus doesn't enjoy seeing anyone pass away; it's the thing that constantly makes him hesitate to continue the war. If he were fighting for a lesser cause, he would have surrendered to end it and, in the process, end the continuous loss of life the fight cost.
-
Or, the one where Optimus gets stuck in a time loop that resets every time Starscream dies. A mech who remembers every time he's failed to save someone, and a seeker who is not only doomed to die, but is utterly insufferable.
What could possibly go wrong?
