Summary
On screen, a human rotorcraft chases after a canid with a gun, and Starscream scoffs at this as well—quietly, not to be heard. That’s the thing about Screamer: His best efforts to hide things only ever serve to spotlight the fact he wants to hide them in the first place. Since the reconstruction of Cybertron began, there’s a phrase Knock Out’s heard those Autobot-aligned humans use—‘like an open book.’ Like an unencrypted datapad.
Knock Out’s always had an affinity for the open, which is to say, he finds Starscream so transparent that he can’t resist.
“Thinking you could catch up, are you?” he says, poking fun as the human on screen fires at the light-footed animal.
“I would never chase an Earth beast to begin with,” Starscream retorts with a careful cross of his arms, so gracefully the metal doesn’t even creak.
“But if you did, you would catch it.”
“I wouldn’t miss.”
