Slipstream
STATUS: 💔 💔 💔 💔 💔 💔 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Cut adrift from his own world, with the grief and regret tangled up in his trinemates' deaths and all that he's lost finally hitting him like a brick to the face, Slipstream had quickly become a lifeline for the once-Air Commander. She was once the Second of his Brigade, and he would done anything for her. He would have trined her, in the end. But now she doesn't remember him- And though he would still fall on a sword for her, his world has finally fallen apart. There's nothing left for him. A Winglord without a people is a failure at best and dead at worst, and he has failed them all. His last Seeker is lost to him, and the Brigade has fragmented to nothing.

Windblade
STATUS: 💖 💖 💖 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 🤍
Windblade has qualities Starscream can admire: she's clever, intelligent, and has a processor for the political, just like him. He's found she's a lot better company to discuss things with than some of the other mechs on the R2 (and certainly has a better sense of humour), and is more than happy to tell her anything about Seeker culture or his current science projects that she wishes. Her common sense is familiar to him too, in a way he hasn't pinned down yet but is certainly making use of. He's been weak in front of her, but... She kept it safe. And the kiss they shared at the Constellation Ball stirred emotions in him he once thought long dead- He likes her, trusts her, and it's enough to give her the keys to the once-Brigade's assets now that things have fallen through.

Misfire
STATUS: ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍
Like Slipstream, Starscream considered Misfire his underling. He let the whole 'just friends' thing slide - mostly because it baffles him - but Starscream still kept him in his mental Brigade roster all the same. And hey, sometimes it's actually nice to watch some trashy reality television with Misfire once in a while. Now the Brigade has fallen apart, he's not sure if they still count as 'friends'.

Cayde-6
STATUS: ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍
Cayde is a bit of a weird connection Starscream has made; he finds he enjoys the Exo's company more than he expected, even if he knows Cayde-6 can be wary of his scientific interests. At least, when they stray in the direction of his Ghost. But once you've entered a roomba rumble together and agreed on a number of ridiculous ideas for it, can you really not be friends?

Skywarp
STATUS: ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍
This Skywarp isn't Starscream's own. He knows that. And yet, the raw grief from the loss of his trine claws up inside of him all the same whenever he sees this kid, twisting together with the protectiveness he would feel against any mistreated newbuilt Seeker, until Starscream would be ready to fist fight the entire Megatron population aboard the R2 just to keep Skywarp safe. It might not be his Skywarp. The dream of the Brigade might be over. But he can at least do better with this one.

CV Ratchet
STATUS: ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 🤍 🤍 🤍
Starscream and Mini-Ratch definitely got off on the wrong foot, but it seems their shared love of science has gotten them over that hurdle. Through their experiments and tests on Starscream's ghost state, including the little ride-around he had in Ratchet's processor, they've grown surprisingly friendly. Starscream is already starting to mentally categorize Ratchet as belonging to the Brigade, and the lessons in medical care are certainly helping. Starscream trusts Ratchet- Enough to give him the keys to the once-Brigade's things now that everything has fallen apart.

The Runt Megatron
STATUS: 🖤 🖤 🖤 🖤 🖤 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍
The Runt, in Starscream's opinion, could take a hike into the nearest star and the world would be better off for it. He restrains his dislike for the mini Megatron out of care for Slipstream and her own opinions, and wouldn't attack him on sight or anything, but the wedge he drove between Starscream and his Second are things he won't soon forget.

The Crazy Starscream
STATUS: 🖤 🖤 🖤 🖤 🖤 🖤 🖤 🖤 🖤 🖤
In Starscream's optics, his smaller, crazier counterpart is everything that he hates about himself. It may not even be a conscious thought, but it's true: this mockery of an Air Commander killed everyone under his command, laid waste to his own people, and Starscream knows that if enough lines were crossed he could have turned out similar. He already burns enough of his bridges as is. Perhaps, on some level, he thinks if he could just strangle the fragger, he'd be asserting his control over his own dark side. Even without having been killed by his counterpart before, Starscream knows one thing for certain: if he sees him again, this time it'll be him walking away alive. Not that BASTARD.

The Antlers Megatron
STATUS: 🖤 🖤 🖤 🖤 🖤 🖤 🖤 🤍 🤍 🤍
While not enough of an active threat to go after, Starscream is keeping a careful optic on the situation with Antlers. He's already hurt his Slipstream more than enough, and Starscream has made sure to warn him: if he tries anything again, Starscream will end him. The active manipulation is different from what he's used to - almost refreshing, really - but it's nothing Starscream thinks he can't handle.

The Silver Starscream
STATUS: 🖤 🖤 🖤 💔 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍
Unlike the other, crazier Starscream, his silver counterpart is something he could actually come to respect at some point. Oh, he's repressed, and they've gotten in arguments, but Starscream thinks he understands his silver double pretty well. He may even have a point with Starscream's own impulsiveness, not that he'll ever admit it. Maybe they would have ended up at each other's throats in the end, with their every interaction ending in snapping words and fraying nerves. But now Silver's won. Starscream has lost everything. It's his counterpart's game now, and Starscream just has to live with it.

Knock Out
STATUS: 🖤 🖤 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍
Knock Out is one of those medics that enforce Starscream's perception of doctors: you can't trust them. It may have been an accident, maybe not, but the cutting remark he used on Starscream still won't be soon forgotten. But Starscream's not stupid; he won't piss off the good doctor any more than necessary. Even if he will still go to CV Ratchet over all else.

The Dumb Grimlock
STATUS: 🖤 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍
Starscream harbours a perfectly reasonable level of dislike towards the Dinobot in his opinion: he won't pick a fight with him, but he can and will certainly jab at him from afar with his words alone. Thankfully, the Dinobot's too amusing right now to really bother even doing that with.

Tailgate
STATUS: 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍
Starscream's not sure what to think about Tailgate; he has no doubt that the little minibot could be a problem if he wanted, but still can't really take it seriously. He's like... Bumblebee levels of frightening. Which is to say: not at all.

Ravage
STATUS: ❤️ ❤️ 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍
Ravage is an interesting mech. While Starscream retains a healthy degree of cautious suspicion felt towards the other Decepticon - he has had enough dealings with her ever-spying counterpart back in his own verse to warrant it - she has been amicable enough so far, and hopefully them being allies could work out for the both of them.
