It's a bit like the classical abuse relationship. Starscream sees no way out, and Megatron... well... he seems to delight in putting Starscream down in any way possible.
I like how you describe Skywarp and TC here. They're complex characters and in both scenes with them, they were both so resigned and helpless. Which wasn't really stated, but... it#s how I read them.
Yes it is. Megatron loves the control he's got, and Starscream's doing nothing to change that even though he hates it.
I like Warp and TC. I don't write them much, but they'll get more of a say in this series than most I write. And yes, they're resigned to what's going on (glad that came through). They don't like it, they don't understand it, but trine is trine and their leader's accepting it, so they have to accept it too.
Dark, yes, but oh so hot and so very guiltily enjoyed. Starcream is inflicting a lot of this on himself via his own pride, which is not exactly to say it's his fault. Megatron just knows it is his vice and gleefully using it against him. He is on a serious power trip here, and his obsession over 'owning' Starscream may well be his own weakness someday, if he's not careful, and let's his emotions consume him.
Starscream's pride is the majority of the problem, but no it's not entirely his fault, and yes Megatron does know what's trapping him and loves rubbing his faceplates in it.
"his obsession over 'owning' Starscream may well be his own weakness someday" Things are already in motion, though at a slow pace. We'll see how it turns out :)
