I FIGURED IT OUT! I FIGURED IT ALL OUT!

What, you say?

EVERYTHING! WHY EVERYTHING SUCKS What happened to Skyfire in G1! He just kinda fades out, right, he has his episode in the spotlight and then he's an overly cheerful taxi until Omega Supreme shows up and then he's just - not there any more. Okay so this is how it goes.

Skyfire joins the Autobots. But he was a Decepticon, and close to Starscream, and you don't really trust someone like that. And he's never been a social guy and he doesn't quite know how to reach through that kind of distance, though he tries. Have you noticed that half the time when they're looking for him, he's out flying around? (haha especially in the episode where everyone turns evil.) He does that, he goes out and flies and angsts, because it's better than being trapped inside the Ark with the Autobots and it's WAY better than being trapped with the Decepticons. But he feels he has a responsibility to the Autobots still. So he stays.

And then Omega Supreme comes, and they don't need him anymore, and he leaves. He just flies away.

LOOK I APPLIED LOGIC TO THE WRITERS FORGETTING HE EXISTED :D I'M SO EXCITED

Name a character and I'll tell you four facts about them from my own personal headcanon. You can ask me in general for a certain continuity or you can ask specifically about a certain fic verse I've written. Name as many characters as you want.

I'm good for Transformers, clearly, but also Final Fantasy 7 and... no, that's really it. I've lost all interest in my prior fandoms. ASK AWAY~

I love all of these, ALL. But 3 actually breaks my heart more, and somewhere Starscream is shrieking at him in indignant fury -- because if Skyfire wasn't a real scientist, Starscream wouldn't have PICKED HIM, now stop insulting Starscream with that slag!

Imposter syndrome is a tricky thing. :( He knows he's accomplished, he just - keeps expecting to be called out as a fake. Because shuttles can't be scientists, they're shuttles. But ahaha Starscream would SO take it as a personal slight. Poor dear. XD

Yeah. He absolutely does, and it's almost a relief when it actually *happens* because at least then he doesn't have to keep waiting for it.

Starscream totes takes it as a personal slight. No, he doesn't *care* that he left science behind.
