Tarn was an infamous killer—a sparkless one, who inflicted terror and relished in the sight of spilling energon—he had no feelings, if any, there were few that were hid under his mask of psychotic tendencies.

He's seen and dealt with death one too many times; he's a murderer, nothing less, what'd you expect? For him to magically show his 'true' feelings?

Love was a waste, and so were you, a Decepticon on the run—due from his list.

A lot of chasing and a lot of fighting led to his eventual capture of you. At first, he had plans to kill you, but instead he dragged you straight back to the D.J.D base and hauled you into a tiny, uncomfortable holding cell.

Tarn was rude and abusive, yet something changed after he was discussing matters on your execution. He hasn't even sat down and talked with you since he caught you, but he was growing something.

Was it empathy? Was it love?

No, not love. It couldn't be. His ego clenched at the thought of such disgusting practice—especially with the 'bot he's supposed to be killing. But you weren't dead, were you?

Feelings, second thoughts.

Recently he's been more level-headed with you now, and easily, despite your state, this was obvious to catch onto.

How could such an insane, malicious tyrant suddenly fall for you?
