Transformers Bunny Farm

So, we all know that there will always be those Decepticons who gossip about Starscream getting to his position by sleeping in the right berths. And the obligatory response to that is that Starscream is more than just a pretty face and got to SIC with skill and determination and his rapier wit.

Alright, now let's make this totally (or not) AU and swap that around.

Let's say that, instead, Starscream did, in fact, sleep his way into the Decepticon ranks, and did so openly, instead of doing it militarily. Like he came in and moved up as a courtesan instead of a soldier, cleverly and stealthily moving onto higher and higher ranking Decepticons through deceptive manipulation and/or murder behind the scenes. It doesn't even occur to mechs that he's anything more than a pretty face and famous berthmate, mostly because anyone who starts to get curious turns up dead before they can mention their suspicions to anybody else.

Eventually, either by sheer luck, unluck, or over-ambitious planning on Starscream's part, Megatron ends up bumping into one of Starscream's assassins fleeing the scene of the murder of Starscream's former partner. He somehow gets Starscream's name from the assassin... and there begins an epic game of cat-and-mouse.

Megatron, interested and curious, publicly announces that he will graciously 'take in' the lovely Starscream after the 'tragic and mysterious murder' of the seeker's berthmate. He knows that Starscream is dangerous, or at least smarter and more deceptive than he lets on, and starts putting Starscream through some covert tests to try to make the seeker slip up and publicly admit/show his deception. Starscream gets suspicious, but can't confront Megatron about it in case he doesn't know, but is determined to win this 'game' they find themselves playing.


Detailed bunny is detailed, no? Complex bunny is interesting, Y/N?
