Dunno why, but the dialogue reminds me of Soul Reaver.

Pretty intense! And I like how in the bottom corner, it's 'the beginning...' and not 'the end.'

esignation-jazz yes, a lot of the dialogue seems to influneced by and comes from soul reaver. Interesting to apply it to Transformers though.

funky art but to me starscream just comes off as an emo kid who never wants to get hurt ever again

...has anyone else noticed that the nekkid Starscream looks a bit like Cykill from the Gobots cartoon?

Not bad, but it feels like you tried to force the awesome Soul Reaver dialogue into this strip, and it shows. All in all not too bad!

Thanks. I'll admit the Legacy of Kain intro is one of my favorite game clips. Can't say it was definately my inspiration for the peice but yes, when I'd finished it the script definately had a... em... similarity about it. glad you liked it though. :¬

Ouch, that looked like it hurt!!!

Still, why did Starscrem get torn apart again? You lost me there.

ToonQueen [2009-02-20 19:31:04 +0000 UTC]

Holy crap, poor beat up Starscream! Sounds like Scream is going to defect at the end there too.. though we know that never happens... er, well depends on the universe.

EmeraldBeacon [2009-02-20 19:25:37 +0000 UTC]

I think we all agree that it's a great story, and some chilling imagery. Hampered slightly by some stiff dialogue and mis-spellings, but all in all, a very interesting take on Starscream's shift from obedient lackey to self-serving opportunist.

JZLobo [2009-02-20 19:10:33 +0000 UTC]

This is a good story, but the dialogue is very stiff.

Duke-of-Luns [2009-02-20 17:12:39 +0000 UTC]

Gee, that's pretty brutal for Screamer! Specially since he was only trying to help! As unbelievable as this sounds, in this situation, he probably didn't deserve that.

But hey, Megs probably paid the price a few times afterwards, but then again, so did Starscream. A viscious cycle to be sure.

The punishment for Screamer reminds me of Dark Crystal. Very nice touch.

NuttyByNature [2009-02-20 09:32:05 +0000 UTC]

I'm diggin' it, but my eyes keep going to the misspelling of the word "transgression". Is that an accepted spelling that I am unaware of?

Yikes to stripped Starscream!

Designation-jazz [2009-02-20 09:14:47 +0000 UTC]

Is this a TF style take on the intro to Soul Reaver? Because the dialogue has that feel and is exactly the same in places.

when i woke up today one of the last things i would have ever guessed i would see was a naked starscream. good stuff! one of my favorites so far.

FrankORourke [2009-02-20 07:28:13 +0000 UTC]

Seems like JETFIRE got off a little too easy if you ask me.

Megatron's PHilosophy has always been "DESTRUCTION TO ALL TRAITORS" and yet JETFIRE didn't get merely as much punishment(if any at all) for Defecting.

He's always cruel to cons like Screamer. meh *shrugs*

JZLobo In reply to FrankORourke [2009-02-20 19:07:50 +0000 UTC]

That's because the ones in power will often take out their frustrations on the poor saps who will take it, not necessarily the ones who deserve it. Believe me, I know.

FrankORourke In reply to JZLobo [2009-02-20 22:38:45 +0000 UTC]

yeah I know *sigh* but still even though Jetfire is my private TF obsession, Megs should have ripped him apart, infact all the cons should have jumped him and beat the livng snot out of him to the point of near death, because that is truly the decepticon way, aside from just ripping your spark chamber from your body.

JZLobo In reply to FrankORourke [2009-02-22 01:14:46 +0000 UTC]

Well, in most continuities, Jetfire is smart enough not to let Megatron know he's defecting until he's safely within reach of the Autobots for sanctuary.

Great storytelling, great art. (And I'm a snob and don't say that very often. ) Faved.

There are some typo's in the text you might consider fixing, just FYI...

and in view of all the Megs/Screamer slash out there, that panel of SS "stripped to his chassis" by Megatron kinda gives me the willies...
But that's just my own psychosis talking...

Really. This was a good one. Well done, all.
