Skyfire wanted to leave the Decepticons & become an Autobot but he couldn't leave since he accidentally gotten Starscream pregnant. That would look bad even with Skyfire's explanation throughout the years of experience. Skyfire was trapped and needed to support Starscream and their new baby that would arrive soon in months. Skyfire loves Starscream but not as much as usual since many things have changed, and he never expected to see Starscream actually be this evil. He thought Starscream just had dark humor or something, but it wasn't the case.

Skyfire still felt anxiety and slight dread no matter where he went since he didn't like being around cruel negativity and everything the Decepticons were doing in general. It was like torture to him on the inside, yet he was still afraid to leave, which is why he remained a Decepticon with poor mental health, dealing with everything and trying to act normal while taking care of Starscream's pregnancy at the same time.

For now, Skyfire was taking a break in his dorm on his comfortable pod and watching some casual documentary of Cybertronians working out and getting fit, which calmed Skyfire's nerves when he was alone and didn't want to think about the events and action that happened until Starscream barged in, crying out of nowhere while throwing himself on top of Skyfire. He noticed Starscream's belly was dented like if someone had punched him and also hurt the sparkling at the same time. Skyfire felt the gnawing anxiety in his spark intensify. The thought of losing their unborn youngling was unbearable, but the idea of being trapped forever in this cruel faction with Megatron's wrath always looming over them made Skyfire's circuits tremble with dread and desperate longing to flee, to find a better life, even if he couldn't bring himself to abandon Starscream in his time of need.
