Summary
“Weird,” Julian murmured with a grating voice that did not belong to him. “But not awful, at least.”
Or, the one where Julian transmigrates into a Starscream Clone.

Summary
After the war, Bumblebee had grown tired of expectations costantly forced on him, of duties that never ended, of being told who he was supposed to be.
At first, he hunted Decepticons with his team on Earth. But then the council stepped in, insisting he attend the Academy to "refine his skills", because apparently — he wasn't good enough in his job for them.
A year later, framed for a murder he didn’t commit, Bumblebee fled. Branded a fugitive, he vanished into the underground and became something else: an assassin, striking from the shadows to target the Council that betrayed him.
Eventually he got captured, the Council deemed him too dangerous for prison and sentenced him to the shadowzone.
But something went wrong.
Instead of exile, he woke up on the Nemesis—Megatron’s warship. Mid-war in the past.
Though it's just a nightmare, right?

Summary
"You know, you shouldn't be deleting valuable information without speaking to your Commander?"
Soundwave stilled, his frame locking up as dread swallows him whole. He knows that voice, slightly scratchy and condescending as usually. But this time, the voice carriers a hint of smugness.
"~Starscream~" Megatron's recorded voice clip said sternly.
aka. Soundwave deletes the location of an Autobot signal due to fear of losing more resources, and ends up getting caught.

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.

Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types

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

Summary
Starscream had lost a lot before the war. Sunbeam. His sparkling. Starscream had long since lost hope that his sparkling was alive. Sunbeam had died in the ruins of Vos, and Starscream would never see him.
B-127 had been born before the war. He did not have anything left to lose by the time war broke out. Raised underground in energon mines, B-127 had not even gotten to grow into his true colors. Optimus Prime has saved him from the mines; there was never a need to look back.

Summary
I. Getaway stole the Lost Light, and nobody is happy about it except him. Three planets died, but Megatron didn't, and nobody knows where Overlord is. Prowl's broken promise to the Galactic Council is going to have consequences, and Rodimus wants his ship back.
II. The broken Matrix of Leadership was returned to Optimus before the war ended. It just woke up, and Optimus doesn't know how, why, or what it’s doing.
III. Mirage will do anything to get Hound back--even go utterly mad again. Or worse, make peace with his amica.
IV. Galvatron refuses to give up his claim to Decepticon leadership. If Ravage wants to be the leader of Destron entire, she'll have to cancel him the old-fashioned way: by killing him herself. And the EDC would like her to do it as soon as possible.
Content Advisory: Canon soup with IDW/G1 base. This series began as a Soundwave/Ravage MTMTE fix-it fic. Heavily seasoned with Japanese G1 and TFP. By now you should know what to expect from me. If you haven't read the first four fics in The Voice of Stanix, you might be happier starting with Diamonds & Rust.

The trail he left was striking to those who passed by, if there was anyone, however, the dead earth path that remained was erased by the air currents, now his trail was no longer visible.

Shockwave only wished that they would take him too and disappear into thin air.And there they will leave him, floating for eternity.

Summary
Obviously pleased that his advances are working, the mech’s wings shudder faintly as his smile spreads. Then, Megatron says: ‘‘You’re quite vain, aren’t you?’’
The mech blinks, and blurts out: ‘‘...Excuse me?’’
‘‘You think you can get me to do just about anything by fluttering your optics at me,’’ Megatron states, matter-of-fact. Leaning in even closer so that they’re nearly at optic-level, he adds: ‘‘Think again.’’

Summary

However, when peace is within reach, Prowl catches Starscream outside his office in the middle of the night.
Absolutely nothing happens.

Summary
(Formerly Of Flesh and Metal)
“Then I must ask that you endure this, little one. I am aware that this request is selfish and there is no justification I can give for there is no argument in its favour, but please. Will you bear the weight of this burden for your kin? It is clear to me that they need you just as much as we need them.”
“It’s not a burden. Not if it’s you. Not if it’s this team.” Burden felt too strong of a word. Too brutal for what was actually going to be taking place. Optimus was a pillar of strength and comfort and heart, the glue that kept these wandering souls together. To call befriending him as something so vile felt intrinsically wrong and you weren’t going to stand for it.
If you were going to do this, you were going to do it right. No half-assing anything, fear and terror be damned. No matter what it was, you were willing to find a way to help end this conflict.

Summary
Follows "Taming the Shrill." An alternately fluffy and intense, comedic and yet bittersweet take on life after the war is over. Expect a baby boom of epic proportions, wild races, and a sense that it's all just oh. so. fragile and primed to fall apart...

Summary
Starscream has been found in critical condition after a fight with Megatron. It will be a very long road to recovery.
How will he change under the Autobots care? How will the Autobots change with one of their worst enemies stuck in their medbay? How will the Deceptions manage without their Second in Command?
Change is inevitable. Whether positive or negative, only time will tell.

12/Sep/25 small update! I'm editing past chapters to fix my usage of "Raph" instead of Raf (sorry) and fix some terminology mistakes (fixing head to be helm and whatnot where I've made mistakes) Currently up to chapter 19
Also, I've cemented a head cannon (first mentioned in the end notes of chapter 23) that Starscream uses Cybertronian time measurements, so I've made some small edits here and there to keep things consistent! Time keys can be found on multiple chapters from before I started implementing this as a part of the story, but I've added one to chapter 3!
As this is my first fic, I have tried my best not to outright re-write things as I like seeing how far I've come :)

Summary
A space bridge accident strands both Optimus Prime and Starscream on an unknown planet, filled with mechanical monsters. Once Starscream decides that immediately stabbing Optimus in the back is a bad idea, the two form an uneasy alliance. Just until they can get off this hostile world.
But cooperation breeds grudging appreciation (and even more grudging attraction). Each uncovered secret on this mystery world brings them closer to returning to endless war. Can they keep fighting as if nothing has changed? Or will they take the chance for something new?
Assuming the planet doesn’t deactivate them first.

Summary
A hundred years after the Decepticon victory at the end of the great civil war of Cybertron, Shockwave begins a new, rather indulgent scientific test.
The purpose of the Re-Forge experiment is to see if a spark taken from a purpose-built cold construct mech can be put into a new protoform and naturally form a new frame according to its innate coding, and to investigate how similar or different the resulting mech might be, physically and mentally, from its former incarnation.
The spark of the captured Autobot officer Prowl, previously stored in stasis, is an ideal candidate for this experiment, since much is already known about the mental characteristics he exhibited as a cold construct.
Reborn with the frame he was always meant to have, and with no memory or awareness of his past existence, the spark of Prowl begins a new incarnation of life as a Decepticon and chooses a name for himself, Venator.
Following an assasination, Venator is sent to track and capture the last Autobot known to still remain free, Jazz.

Summary
An armistice with a shaky foundation is not the ideal time to have a crisis about potential physical feelings for his Second-In-Command, but Megatron is going through it regardless. Starscream is as shiny as ever, with glinting wings and a sharp glossa, and in a moment of weakness, Megatron decides to give Starscream a gift disguised as a bribe to enlist his help for the peace talks with the Autobots.
It does not stay a bribe, and it does not remain the only gift Megatron gives.
[Or, 5 times Megatron gave Starscream some candy as a bribe, a donation, a favour, a reward, and an offering.]

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.
