OMG, it's SUNSTORM!

This actually started out as a spontaneous idea (hence the not so dynamic pose xP) and suddenly became one of the most complex drawings I've ever made. Thanks to *Reno-chan and all my other friends who helped me to get this done; some parts were a really hard nut to crack!

More love for Sunstorm!!

In depht:
It was inspired by 'Open Circuits', an RPG set in a parallel universe of G1. Starscream defeated Megatron an now rules over the great empire that is those of the Transformers. Unfortunately, with the lack of Megatron picking on him, he started to breed out a solid paranoia and his selfishness, arrogance and hidden sorrow are dumped mostly on Sunstorm, his personal advisor.

Seekers are a race of Transformers who were brought into being to build up large flying squadrons. They live in trines that can reach populations up to 30 individuals. Teamwork is especially important in those families, which lead to a socially concentrated psyche in Seekers, at least to their own kind. Starscream, who under Megatrons influence came to think love and friendship are signs of weakness, denies his nature and thus suffers under his own twisted world view. His hysterical fits, his anger and the cruelty with which he rules over his people is constant stress to Sunstorm. Starscream does not get to see his trine anymore, so he (involuntarily) keeps Sunstorm away from his too. He keeps his advisor near like a child keeps a precious toy and he does not see that he projects his sorrow onto Sunstorm and makes him suffer too until one day Sunstorm can't take the loneliness and stress anymore.

The picture seen above figuratively stands for the moment in which Sunstorm snaps and realizes, that he doesn't have to take all the crap and coldheartedness of Starscream. Surprisingly, he doesn't get punished so harshly, because it was this and a row of other incidences that made Starscream realize that he really is a prick to his friends and that he will lose them and his trine if he doesn't change his behavior. Fear makes him sometimes forget about that, but he is trying hard and he might work out his problems one day, maybe even with the 'help' of Megatron who started the unhealthy process in Starscream in the first place, because he - being a member of a totally different race called 'Targetkeepers' - just doesn't have a clue about Seekers.

So, this picture and the scene that inspired it are not sad to me, they're actually pretty damn good because it's the turning point that starts the chain-reaction and the healing process in Sunstorm (and Starscream), so to say. ^^
