Hi! I'm so invested in your Spar-eater AU. Could you tell us more about how Starscream got infected, and how he reacted?
Thank you, and have a nice day! 💖
Hi!!! Thank you! 🩵🩵🩵The “how Starscream became a spark-eater” is better explained here (I think):

How he reacted…
I would say..a mix of dread and excitement. Dread because, 1) his resurrection implied being brutally murdered by the Predacons, 2) this process changed his body, 3) he is well aware about the stigma surrounding the condition. But he’s still excited because, you know, he’s still kicking!
At this moment in time, Starscream is also thorn between wanting to be feared (weaponising the misinformation) and needing love and comradely (I know, clichè). It all boils down to the fact that he desperately needs to feel safe, but is unsure how to go about it.
And as Ratchet has noted, Starscream doesn’t have the best track record, so trust is out the door for now.
