And about why the conflict between Blast and Starcade, well... read this:

Metalshoe Jet starts walking towards Blast, looking very angry. Metalshoe Jet comes closer. ''Starcade starts shooting energy beams from her hands at Metalshoe. The energy beams hit Metalshoe Jet, but he shows no signs of taking damage.'' Metalshoe Jet lifts Starcade with one hoof, and tosses her against a wall.
 * Metalshoe Jet: That's exactly what HE said...
 * Blast: Wait, what!?
 * Starcade: Whoa, who are you talking about?
 * Bonk Choy: Hey, what are you trying to do, pal?
 * Metalshoe Jet: That's exactly what RED FORK said...
 * Alice: Red Fork?
 * Blast: What are you talking about?
 * Metalshoe Jet: We were both right HERE. I offered him the secret to victory, and he REFUSED IT! The Hades Needle would've changed everything!
 * Alice: Wait, you offered it to Red Fork first!?
 * Metalshoe Jet: Yes. And now that I think about it, it's the last thing I remember before never seeing him again! That only means... I didn't just disappear... HE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME!?
 * Blast: Metalshoe, calm down!
 * Metalshoe Jet: Don't tell me to calm down!
 * Bonk Choy: Well, can't you "metal" down first?
 * Starcade: Metalshoe, calm down or else! (charges up energy in her hands)
 * Metalshoe Jet: Don't you dare threaten me, Starcade! You're all just like Red Fork! You value your own philosophies more than the lives of everyone! Don't you realize how selfish you're being towards everyone else!?
 * Alice: Metalshoe, wait!
 * Starcade: No one. Threatens. A Retro Rebel!
 * Alice: Uh oh, it looks like his metallic parts are much more resistent than we thought.
 * Tommy: I think we're in trouble.
 * Metalshoe Jet: So that's how you want to play, Starcade? I didn't want to fight you guys, but you've left me no choice!

Everyone else was just trying to calm Metalshoe down peacefully, but Starcade just jumped into action, which actually caused the whole fight to begin. Look, I was planning that fight to start anyway, but it would've been much better if Metalshoe Jet was who started, since it wouldn't have made Starcade seem like the one who started it.

Now read this: And this too: The thing is, I thought the dialogue in that part was enough to show that this was supposed to be an emotional moment. Metalshoe has just been stabbed, and he's starting to wish Red Fork had killed him years ago so he didn't have to go through all of this. But no, your characters just continue to not pay any attention to Metalshoe's emotions. They're just telling him: "You caused this. It's your fault, you should've calmed down." Note that Blast is the only one that's actually trying to listen and reason with Metalshoe. Not to mention, it doesn't look good that Starcade is telling Metalshoe that it's all his fault when she was the one to start with the first attack.
 * Starcade: He's gone. Poor guy was ranting about how he wanted all villains around the world to die because they killed his friends or something, and ended up dying to a sword himself.
 * Bonk Choy: Blast stabbed him.
 * Blue Ocean: Wait, what!?
 * Starcade: But in our defense, he attacked us first. After we refused to use his weapon.
 * Blast: Actually, you attacked him first, Starcade.
 * Metalshoe Jet: Red Fork should've killed me back then when he had the chance. At least if I was dead, I wouldn't have to know how little I mattered to him...
 * Starcade: Enough, Metalshoe! This wouldn't have started if you had calmed down in the first place! You're already injured like this, so might as well just calm down.
 * Green Shadow: Look, we're heroes, not murderers. No one deserves death, not villains, not us, not even you. The only way we can stop this if you would just calm down and give me the Hades Needle so I can take care of it.
 * Blast: Girls, can we just let him talk for a moment? He's already calming down. Starcade, you may be right, but accusing him will only make things worse.
 * Starcade: Well, you were the one who stabbed him, so you're one to talk.
 * Blast: Touché...

And now that we're talking about it, I'm struggling to find in what line Blast was rude to Starcade. Which line is that?
