Since WFC siege is based on the video game you can think of it as a bad retelling or like a bad end of a video game
The thing is, Siege isn’t really based on the games. It’s just kind of a branding thing. But it has none of the same plot and isn’t an adaptation at all.
And I say this as someone who hasn’t played the games. But I did watch a let’s play of the scene where Starscream and Skyfire are introduced and tbh just examining that proves it’s not a game adaptation.
In the For Cybertron games Starscream and Skyfire are both accomplished scientists who work at Trypticon station studying dark energon. The station gets invaded by Megatron wanting to steal it. It seems Jetfire is leading the evacuation while Starscream is organising the defences. Eventually when Megatron seems able to use the dark energon Starscream is enamoured with him and offers to join his side (which in retrospect turns out to be the worst decision of Aligned Starscream’s life). Skyfire gets shocked and leaves to join the Autobots.
As you can see none of that is in Siege. Which I found a shame, I thought they were actually going to adapt that and I was really looking forward to seeing something like that. I often joke it feels like the one au where Starscream and Skyfire might have been married before Starscream makes a bad decision and leaves him for a meth addict cos he thought Megs was hot (basically what happened, totes, absolutely, no exaggeration, I swear I’m not lying. Only a bit).
The thing is, it’s a Gears of War style video game so Star leaving Sky happens really quickly in a minute long cutscene
But still, that’s kind of the closest we’ve really seen of them? I was so looking forward to maybe seeing an adaptation that showed maybe a couple of scenes of them together before the attack happened? I thought that would have been cute.
Instead we got probably the most disappointing SkyStar interaction I’ve ever seen.
Jetfire noo
Oh shit I think man's dying
They do give off bitter exes vibes
i just feel like the prowl + jetfire dynamic deserves more attention
lol
Skyfire in his first appearance: Oh no, I couldn’t bring myself to shoot anybody. I’m a scientist, not a warrior. I’d rather study and protect life, not destroy it!
Skyfire in every other episode: Woo! Let’s go and kick some Decepticon tail! I’m gonna smash down this door and shoot something! Bang wooosh! *Insert terrible quip here*
That look! Asjdjksndnd

I love this and agree that his gentle nature and nice demeanour is different from the tough and nail guys and I love that his personality is different from theirs
I miss Skyfire so much, but I'm starting to think that his soft scientist personality died with his name. There is no longer a Skyfire, only Jetfire :(
I think he will come back. IDW gave us similar so we can only hope there’ll be a return to that someday.
I think it’s just.... transformers has plenty of tough and nails guys and badasses who can beat shit up. What makes Skyfire stand out from them is that he’s so different. That he has this gentle nature and nice demeanour. It feels so different and it’s what I love from him.
He doesn’t sleep at all
Unnamed grunt: Wait, which one of you is the actual Bumblebee?
Bee & Cliff, wearing the same hoodies: Wouldn't you like to know, weather boy
AHAHAHAHDHSJJFFFFF
YOU GET THREE SHOTS AT THIS MF AND THE FIRST TWO DON’T COUNT
I love the idea of Bee’s gentleness rubbing on Cliffjumper and Cliff’s EXTRA SASS rubbing off on Bee ✨✨✨👌🏻
I wish he has more episodes too
I was robbed.
He needs a chance to see restored cybertron the planet he was fighting to restore 😭
My boy Cliff never got to see Cybertron restored😃😃
Transformers Prime X My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Characters
two pair per person!

if this gets enough attention i’ll do another with mlp/tfp villians
He definitely wooed
This man is officially wooed
‘’I love CliffJumper So Much’’
Cliffjumper: So there I am on a lookout when out of nowhere these high beams light up my rearview. And then it hits me I'm illegally parked!
Arcee: Another parking ticket?
Cliffjumper: Better. The boat.
Arcee: Big metal tire clamp, impossible to remove.
Cliffjumper: Bingo! So the local police do their thing and I let them get all the way down by a block.
Im back from my short hiatus now. Feeling better so here's a small wip of Cliff 😊
Lol
Mirage: *breathe*
Cliffjumper: you fooking TRAITOR!!!!
Jazz: "Cliffjumper! You catch any of that?"
Cliffjumper: "You mean the screaming?! The horror?! Followed by more screaming?!"
Jazz: "Uh, yeah that'd be it..."
We miss him so much
Jazz: Y'know what I still liked? That whole 'looking for that scraphead Grimlock' in the sea of Rust with Cliffjumper!
Jazz: Ah, good ol' hornhead. He was a complete pain in the neck and he didn't know what stealth was if it bit him - lemme tell you, how many times I had to pull his skidplate out of the fire in the Sea, lemme tell ya!
Jazz: And then, then we found the map in the ancient vaults, and we saw Earth and he just HAD to visit, and he was one of the first to sign up for ol' Prime's mission there, and I remember waving to him, and...
Jazz: And...
Jazz:...
Jazz: I still miss him.
Well, I finally see the appeal of Cliffjumper now
