So while rewatching TFP, I noticed something:
Starscream’s telemetry pops up on one of Soundwave’s scans during Season Two, when he’s “gone rogue.” So Soundwave knows a) where he is and b) if he’s healthy.
In conclusion, Starscream is a five-year-old who’s “running away from home forever” and only made it into the backyard with a jar of peanut butter and sneaks back inside to steal cookies when he’s hungry.
Megatron: if Starscream returns to the Nemesis, kill him on sight.
Soundwave, who’s been keeping tabs on Starscream this entire time and sending him rations like an unruly child leaving snacks on the back step for a wild cat: *seen at 5:55 pm*
