Shattered Glass #2 showed the relationship between Megatron and Starscream and. AAAH.

Like, they still seem so much like their regular counterparts and are completely different at the same time.

Starscream is still a little, snarky shit...

...but not the spiteful little gremlin we know and love. His words have a certain sting, but it feels playful and Megatron does seem, at most, slightly bothered instead of angry. Like banter between old friends, instead of a steady buildup to beating each other up once again.

And Megatron is still stern, but caring.

(yeah of course you don't, big guy. Sure.)

(he continues by wiping Starscream's wings for god's sake. Whoever thought that up, you deserve a raise. Damn.)

They're both unafraid to give each other a piece of their minds, but do so in a "tough love" way, instead of them continually saying "fuck you" to each other without actually saying it.

(calls Starscream out on romanticizing the memory but smiles while he does. Like. That's so sweet.)

(you gotta love when the snarky little scholar gets serious. And here, Megatron actually listens and thinks that he really wants to believe him, more than anything.)

Also, this:

Honestly, I love this. These characters actually feel like Starscream and Megatron and interact in a way one could see both of them interact - but the baseline, the feeling behind it is totally different. There's trust, there's banter, there are clear indicators that they actually like each other, despite their constant snarking.

I mean, yeah, that's what Shattered Glass is about. But this is just plain awesome. And boy I can't wait to read more of that.
