I think about "Scum Villain" AUs occasionally, as in "Fan Transmigrates Into The Villain Role" AUs for fandoms that are not SVSSS. I think they're fun because you get a lot of the same joys as "self-insert / OC" fanfiction, plus the other characters being baffled as a villain struggles to turn the entire plot around or escape it.
And I just realized that one of the funniest characters for an AU like this might be Starscream from "Transformers". Any "Transformers" continuity, really.
Some random fan who is genuinely a nice person transmigrates into a TF universe and into the robot body of fucking Starscream. STARSCREAM. Alternatively, if you don't actually want to do transmigration, you could just have a Cybertronian original character (or a canon Cybertronian character) somehow accidentally uploaded / installed into Starscream's body.
Either way, some hapless rando is stuck as one of THE scum villains of all time: Starscream.
And all of the other Decepticons are wondering what the FUCK is going on, because it seems like Starscream is kind of... nice now? Did he take damage from getting punched too hard? People aren't really motivated to do anything about this "good clone" situation because they all kind of like this Starstream more. Megatron can't decide whether or not this friendliness is some new kind of assassination plot, because it's not, but also it looks like it's WAY MORE successful than usual.
Bonus points if whoever is stuck in Starscream also has their own Protagonist Favorite (Luo Binghe) character, so now it looks like Starscream is weirdly into some random Autobot. Optimus Prime would be super funny, but I'm also leaning towards Hot Rod (not yet Rodimus Prime), because that would also be incredibly funny.
Also, Starscream has that ghost thing going on, so the transmigrator here (and everyone else) could end up being haunted by an angry Ghost Starscream.

I feel like an essential part of Starscream is that specific type of superiority complex that you develop when you've been through a lot. There's the need to feel like your suffering meant something and it wasn't for nothing. You need to believe that you're special and important for everything you've been through to have meant something, it's easier than accepting that the world doesn't care about you. There will be no retribution and no one will be sorry. It's acting like you're special because of how badly you wish you were even though you know that you're not. You need people to know who you are and to love you, but there's no real reason for anyone to. It's yearning for power and control because you've never had that. And I think that's essential to understanding Starscream's character.

Has anyone else started a massive transformers brainrott? just me?
Well I'm gonna start posting about it sooner than later so yes. And for the record everything that I will post will probably be from the comics or the TFP (transformers prime) serie because I'm not really a fan myself of the bayverse movies.
Please interact with me about these lil silly bots
