I'm just anxious about the whole thing? Like they've done all this beautiful character development, and in Starscream's case he's not exactly a villain anymore, even though he's still trying to think of himself that way. I'm worried that whoever takes on the mantle will just.... revert them all back to default states because that's what the status quo is. And the status quo isn't interesting anymore? It's nice (wonderful even) when things change because that's life? Just. Worried.

(Always have the irrational fear they'll kill Starscream off, too. Like I know they won't because he's such a key character but. They've done it before.)

Yeah, I feel the same, honestly. MScott's got a fairly nuanced take on his character and it's interesting? I don't want to see the next writer reset him to the same boring "lol backstabbing traitor lol" trope. It's overdone. I'm also super bummed that MScott leaving probably means the end of Knock Out and "Breakdown's" relationship; they were important characters to her (AND ME) but I doubt anyone else on the IDW creative team cares.

(Let's be real tho, even if they kill 'Screamer off he'll just REZ AS A SPARKGHOST LOL and come back. Sigh.)

P.S bonus points for casually dropping the Bayverse universal stream designation, ain't nobody uses those anymore.
