This Sounds Like A Stupid Fic Idea But I Dunno Also Possible Earthspark Spoilers(maybe?)

This sounds like a stupid fic idea but I dunno also possible Earthspark spoilers(maybe?)

For some odd reason, my brain seemed to really like the idea of what if in Earthspark the backstory of like Megatron, Soundwave and Starscream is that they used to be really close friends before the war and during the war the friendship slowly breaks and completely shatters when the war ended or when Megatron decided to team-up with the Autobots.

Also like it would be cool like the Decepticons(just like TFP or IDW) were just victims of the caste system and had started out as an act of hope and freedom for a better life and became friends because of this but relationships crash and burn as the war started and in the end became divided and scattered. Meanwhile the Autobots just wanted to the Decepticons to, you know, keep them inline or minimize damage and in the end the Autobots changed their morals and became united in the end.

This could be the reason why Megatron doesn't want to see his Decepticons stuck in a jail or being mistreated. These are his comrades, his people. He knew their reasons for their actions.

Also I think in the episode where Megatron and Soundwave fought, he looks kind of a bit shocked that Soundwave considered him a traitor. And the fact that Sounders is just so feral to him, you know there's more ✨ drama ✨ to this and them being very close friends waaaaaaay before the war is definitely going to hurt soooo bad. Maybe it's because of this too perhaps Megatron has some hope that Soundwave could join him trying to make peace.

Now for Starscream... we don't know anything about him in Earthspark other than he cackled like mad for 5 seconds probably implying that he is still the scheming seeker that we know. Heck, I was kinda hoping that just like Megatron and Soundwave his personality is somewhat altered in this universe. (You know like Megs being close with a human and Sounds being feral and looks like having issues with his casseticons)

Who knows, for all we know Earthspark could shock us by making Starscream, just like Soundwave, wanted revenge to Megatron although with a lot more personal grudge that had brewed over the years they had together (these grudges probably formed during the war).

But honestly, anything works for me... BUT PLEASE I DON'T WANT STARSCREAM TO BE A PUNCHING BAG AGAIN. I mean they could use it as a plot device (?) like he would get so sick of it and proves to them that he is more than that and becomes the town's ✨ local menace ✨ just because he can.

Anyway that's about it. I know it sounds so far fetched but I want to get this out of my brain
