give a CapriSun and lay down for a nap

Soundwave! Though tbh all of them need naps. 

enlist to help build a pillow fort 

Garrus! Though I think it’d probably have explosives in it. 

slingshot into the deep recesses of space

Thane. I think that’s the only place he’d be able to get some peace and quiet. 

sing bad karaoke and play DDR at 3am with

I’ll say Scully? 

smack with a rolled up newspaper

Sorry Starscream.....

let borrow the aux chord on a road trip

(Send me a letter!) 

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.

Right now I’m all about IDW Soundwave/Cosmos, and to a lesser extent TFP Soundwave/Shockwave. 

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?

HMM. I’d say IDW Soundwave’s arc, but lately it’s just been kinda...meh to me recently. One of my favorite development arcs is the ones in tyran, specifically Optimus Prime. I also like Skinner’s development throughout the series + his relationship development with Mulder and Scully.

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

I firmly believe that tyran!Laserbeak is an awful, awful gossip (more than just being, y’know a spy). He enjoys putting nonessential information in his reports to Soundwave like “Beverly wore the blue shirt again today. She probably had a bad date. She’s fighting with her manager to get a new coffee machine. Her favorite drink is the espresso. Oh yeah, Sam just got hired.”  

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending

When you talk to her like this does she do the thing where she spins completely around to talk to you

She did indeed. :P

My first impressions of them.

*me, doing my homework like a productive student while listening to the premier of TFP*:

“Starscream is literally talking to himself. This is so stupid. Stupider than Optimus Prime and his egg-shaped mouth. Why would you have Starscream monologue to himself. Aren’t there other people on this ship he can talk to?”

When I finally sat down and watched the show I realized he’d been talking to Soundwave who...just never talked back.

._.

What I think of their design.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What I think of their role in the story.

I think...that as of 24 October 2016, if you have not watched the RID 2015 special Starscream serves as an example of what literally became of all the Decepticons. Which, once his purpose was served he was just kind of dumped by the wayside and forgotten?

What I think of their interactions with other characters.

A couple years ago (probably like 3+ years ago...lol...) wrote about how Starscream and Soundwave rarely have an antagonistic relationship, especially in the early parts of the first season. Soundwave is just present, and Starscream works around him, and still manages to get things done despite him. 

(also see below)

My favorite aspect of the character overall.

Starscream’s interactions with other characters is my fave. He has a tendency to bring out (usually the worst in people) sides to characters the audience never really sees, like extremes in personality, and you find him being a little more relatable than you thought, upon careful rewatching. 

What could have been improved or changed with regards to the character. / My number one wish for this character.

He needs to do something about his eyes. I...don’t like them, and I’m not even sure why? That’s such a shallow answer but it’s the first thing that came to mind.

The question is when she chooses a side at the end who is going to totally turn on her

Early Rom is like. Not who he ends up being. So like, be gentle with early Rom because it’s not really Rom, Rom is actually sweet and gentle and nothing at all like the first two seasons
