It occurs to me that for Dark Infection, Smokescreen could've used the dark star saber.
boi picks up the huge spiky frag-off sword on the way to getting the phase shifter after they destroyed the omega lock and for the rest of the series Optimus has to train him in actually using something that heavy and mystical.
(bonus:
Ultra Magnus: why does this child have two relics?
Bulkhead: well, one's because he's the only one who can wield it.
Ultra Magnus: and the other?
Bulkhead: he called dibs.)

oh my god I love that actually that is some fucking certified Smokescreen Gremlin Behavior shit and I am 100% here for it
Ultra Magnus is going to be. SO fucking lost with everything that's going on with this weird fucked up kiddo. Wheeljack too now that I'm thinking about it, but he's got more of It Is What It Is vibe going on so he's less hung up about it
like. Yeah okay, an Elite Guardsman is here and alive, and also he's infused with the blood of the antichrist and he managed to steal a sword made out of the crystalized stuff to wield. Easy enough to understand
and then there's Magnus in the corner on the verge of a conniption because I'm Sorry The FUCK??? What do you MEAN he's regularly being given T W O RELICS????
it does not help that any and every time he asks questions the other Autobots, Optimus included, more or less just shrug and go "well, he's shown he can use them well, so why not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
