Quickstrike somehow manages to start showing some leadership ability due to some butterfly effect in this AU , but Megatron also knows that Quickstrike would quickly abuse any power over others or just so annoying that the others would ensure he died in a “freak accident.’
Megatron always had an unexplained hatred of Quickstrike in the show, but also has to admit Inferno has been causing splash damage lately and another on/off commander for some tasks could be useful
The solution is to put him in charge of non-sparked drones built by Tarantulas in one of his failed power plays.
Unexpectedly Quickstrike shows no abusive behavior to these newly built drones, seemingly adopting a mentor or teacher-like role to his yes-man kill squad.
Which disgusts Megatron because he’s a disgusting person with issues.
Introducing:
Stabby: A remold of Quickstrike into an actual scorpion with stinger replacing the scorpion but more naturalistic colors so as to tell them apart.
Li’l’ Death: Repaint of Cohrada in quickstrke’s colors. Remolded head to look more like a killing machine. Actually bigger than Quickstrike.
