I *like* Starscream as Lord of Vos, don't get me wrong, and borrowing from other continuities is fun as hell... But I think it's mutually exclusive with the G1 cartoon canon. XD Scientist sent out on long energon-finding missions! Lord of Vos! Wait what. XD
Skyfire is SO xenobiology. I think Starscream might have multiple specialties, but chemical engineering is probably the most relevant, probably some physics and mechanical engineering as well. Maybe their mission was early enough that Skyfire was sent for a thin veneer of "ooh look actual science"? And if that were the case, it might have been early enough that there was just murmurs of unrest as the energon started to dry up rather than a full-out uprising. Starscream would still know that their mission was (relatively) just before the final falling-out, but Skyfire would have been relatively oblivious since he never made it back to see the war begin.
mmmm I love theories. Trying to make sense of something as nonsensical as G1 is... kinda awesome. XD
