I like it when actions have consequences. Two good examples have popped up recently.
Case the first:
Normally Jetfire is more of a 'beat up, slap in stasis cuffs, and jail' sort of guy, but in this case? Never forget the Decepticons that desecrated Sentinel's original body and forced him to destroy it. Never forgive.
I really dig how Jetfire is holding a grudge against Blast Off for what he did. That sort of continuity is neat.
Case the second:
Onslaught would care, probably even scream something like 'They melted our battle zombie!', but alas, he is currently being occupied by a Prime who is intent on strangling him.
The burning hatred in Optimus' eyes, the way his face contorts with so much anger and pain and sorrow, expressed all the more fully by the hand that clenches around his throat and makes the metal plating screech under the pressure...It gives Onslaught pause. But not for the reasons Optimus might expect.
"You look like Scourge."
It is said in a quietly surprising quiet tone, uncharacteristic of the Combaticon leader, like he just had his very first realization and could not comprehend it yet. Then, he does.
"But you are not him."
Onslaught can not hurt Scourge. But this is not Scourge. This is someone who looks like him, very much so in fact. Onslaught does not know why he is suddenly feeling feeling a burning desire to veraciously murder Optimus Prime. Well, more so then before. But he does not particularly care, either.
With a flash of his optic band he springs back into life, the reflection of the flames consuming the zombie only making the look in his eyes that much more hellish. Onslaught moves to grab the hand pressed like a vice grip around his throat, and if he can get a grip? He will show Optimus true strength as he tries to apply as much damage to his wrist as possible. "Oh, please, do give in to the hatred burning a hole through you. It will simply make besting you and murdering you all that much more enjoyable."
Scourge had Blackarachnia mess with Onslaught's head. I like how this is starting to bubble up now.
Case the first:
"That," Jetfire says coldly as he stares at the Decepticon shuttle, mouth drawn into a frown, "Is not a less bad Decepticon."

Case the second:
The zombie is still as a statue. Directionless, a useless puppet, a corpse. It does not even attempt to flee when the flames come, and when the searing heat engulfs it, it simply melts away. When the flames will go out, there will be nothing left but a molten mass in the vague shape of what was once a humanoid.
