Fiction

Titan Magazines

While Megatron was in charge, Starscream quietly had his Insecticons implant cerebro-strips in multiple humans, all for the day when he would gain command. Shockingly, that day actually arrived, and Starscream now has an army of potential human servants, including the 44th President of the United States. He stated this was all "courtesy of my Insecticons!", but as the room was empty at the time, it is unknown to whom he was talking.
