    Nobody listened when you said to leave the giant, unconscious robot in the volcano alone, and nobody listened when you mentioned that it might be a bad idea to to weld half of its body to the top of a tank and hide explosive charges inside of it so you'd have a sentient weapon.

    And when it woke up, it was not happy. Starscream, it said its name was, the rightful leader of the Decepticons. From the planet of Cybertron. And then it tried to kill your commander.

    A nasty man, who never seemed to wash and had the thickest accent you've ever heard, who didn't listen when you brought up the fact that it might not be a good idea to threaten and goad Starscream.

    It all worked out at first, if you ignore the attempted murders. But, then your other commanding officer took out the explosives on a baseless promise from Starscream to let you all go home.

    So it wasn't a surprise when Starscream met up with his other Decepticon friends (the Combaticons he called them, and another robot named Astrotrain), he squished both of your commanding officers with one hand, cackling like a maniac as he did so.

    Which brings you to now.

    Starscream had let you live, on the condition that you draw him in all sorts of heroic poses, and in the process of killing various life forms.

    He'd gotten a look at your sketchbook when you'd tried to prove that you and your commanding officers had saved his life, and that welding his top half to the top of a tank was actually good, considering the lava had melted off his legs.

    But, he'd immediately insulted and laughed at your art, so you're not sure why he's keeping you around. Maybe to gloat?

    "Make sure to get my good side!" Starscream laughs in that shrill voice of his, patting you on the back so hard that you almost stumble to the ground. "And, draw me with two wings. And draw me stomping on Soundwave's stupid helm!"

    It might be best to not mention that you have no idea who Soundwave is.
