Right Hand Man | Transformers: Shattered Glass Short Animatic
(Spoilers for Shattered Glass Issues 1-5)
Song: Right Hand Man from Hamilton
CHARACTERS:
Speaking: Starscream (Hamilton), Megatron (Washington)
Shown: Optimus (Nathaniel Greene), Jetfire (Henry Knox)
Context: "Shattered Glass" is a reverse Transformers AU where the Autobots are evil and the Decepticons are good. This is an interaction between Starscream and Megatron.
this song is honestly perfect for their dynamic and I like the idea of maybe doing the whole song one day. It's perfect because martydom is such a prevalent theme in SG, especially in Megatron's arc since he thought he was just a martyr, but Starscream convinced him he was a hero. Starscream encouraged Megatron not to give up on the Decepticon cause. The line "dying is easy, young man, living is harder" hurts even more in the context of their relationship because Starscream dies and Megatron outlives him. But--- not to make it sad or anything uhhh
Shattered Glass is really good
who am I kidding Transformers in general is just amazing
