The Neglected Decepticons's Heir AU

The Birth of Ironshard

Warning 1: English isn't my first language so sorry if it's confusing !😅

---------------------------------------------------------------

Cybertron; Iacon; Decepticons's headquarters:

Starscream was standing in the throne room alongside Shockwave, a scold on his face.

The whole Decepticon army was present on Megatron's order for an "important announcement".

This just made the SIC snort in disdain, he bet the fool came up with another stupid plan against the Autobots which will fail.

How pathetic! If Starscream was the Decepticons's leader they would have won this blasted war long ago!

He was keeping on rambling in his thoughts until Megatron finally appeared with Soundwave, to the Seeker's confusion the Decepticon tyrant was holding something small wrapped in a purple fabric.

Megatron walked toward his throne and turned around to stand face to face with his army before speaking in a booming and authoritarian voice.

"-Decepticons! Today a new step to our future victory against the Autobots has been made! With a few of our mechs I managed to infiltrate the depths of Cybertron to Vector Sigma right under those blasted Autobots's noses and to bring to this world one important advantage to our cause which will ensure our enemies's inevitable downfall!"

Blah blah blah! How many times Starscream had heard Megatron say that?

For all his great eloquence and strength, the old fool still had to give concrete results!

"-And so Decepticons! I present to you all the heir to the Decepticons's throne!"

...

Wait what?

Starscream could only stare in shock with wide eyes as Megatron unwrapped the fabric revealing a little Sparkling in a black and purple armor, staring at the whole room with big red confused optics.

"-Behold Ironshard! The future leader of the Decepticons!"

WHAT?!

—-----------------------------------

"-A SPARKLING?! THIS SON OF A GLITCH CREATED A SPARKLING WHILE WE ARE IN A WAR AND STRUGGLING WITH ENERGON RESSOURCES? WHAT WAS HE THINKING?"

To say that Starscream was angry was an understatement.

Megatron could have done so many things during his infiltration mission to Vector Sigma: he could have created more soldiers, attacking and taking over Vector Sygma from the inside and gaining a big advantage over the Autobots or even steal the Allspark which was within Vector Sigma.

But noooooooo! Instead Megatron decided to pick the most wasteful option and by connecting his spark directly with Vector Sygma had created a Sparkling!

A Sparkling! A fragging Sparkling! Another mouth to feed when energon ressources aren't high!

"-Starscream, we heard you ranting about it the 10 first times! And honestly, it's becoming annoying!"

"-Oh don't waste your vocal processor TC! You and I know dear Screamer is only pissed because now there's a "Megatron Jr" around his chances to be "the new Decepticons's leader" are now thinner!"

Starscream throwed a dark glare at his trinemates.

Thundercracker looked very annoyed while Skywarp was grinning at him as if his trineleader's outburst was the funniest thing existing.

As much as he wanted to snap back, the Decepticon SIC knew that Skywarp wasn't wrong.

For all his barking about potential resources problems, Starscream's anger was actually about Megatron's spawn's own existence, or rather about the meaning of the spawn's existence.
