I don't care if it makes me sound like a terrible person or not, but I think this chapter has officially become my favorite for this entire series. The way in which you've portrayed the Trine's dynamics, I honestly don't know if I'm supposed to be rooting for Skywarp or understanding Thundercracker's point-of-view. The only thing I'm really sure of is that Starscream is so utterly miserable and lost.

And that last line. Oh my god. I'm literally sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the fallout from that one; for Barricade, who has no idea what's going on, and for Starscream, who's just going to be devastated by that. Wow. Such a powerful chapter.
