As the conquerors fell into silence, it would soon be interrupted by a slow metallic clapping sound. Having de-cloaked, he was now visible to the army around him. No doubt they would be alarmed by his sudden presence, and no doubt seek to protect their leaders. How pathetically predictable! Nevertheless, it was best not to provoke them into seeing him as a threat. "What an excellent display of your leadership skills." Starscream gestured to the mutilated corpses of Starkiller's soldiers, "The [i]weak[/i] have no place among those of superior construction!" Like those blasted Combaticons, who could not fathom his greatness! They would one day regret their lack of loyalty! He then continued on making his speech, glancing briefly at the army surrounding him. "However, despite their [i]uselessness[/i], one still requires a large number of them to form a strong military force. From what I have observed, you have experienced a dramatic loss of much of your forces, and no doubt require replacements for them." He gestured towards some of the more battered vehicles nearby. "Allow [i]Starscream[/i] to join your forces, and you will have gained an [i]ace[/i] worth [i]a thousand[/i] soldiers!" He gestured towards himself as he finished his little speech. He could not resist the urge to smirk arrogantly as he inwardly patted himself on the back for such a brilliant speech!
