A/N: ... I hate Starscream, I'm not gonna lie. He's so irritating. Sorry to those who like him, I just never could get passed his obnoxious arrogance. Suffice to say, his chapter is lacking in the "deeper meaning to his actions" area, and I hope I wrote it the way Starscream would have wanted me to. I hope. So this one is a little more comical, I think, and I hope Starscream is portrayed well.

Disclaimer: Still not mine, but I'll keep checking.

Enjoy!

If there was ever a misunderstood Decepticon, it was Starscream. Sure, Blitzwing lived in his own personal hell, and Lugnut wasn't smart enough to comprehend the abuse thrown his way, and Megatron had basically shut down after the end of the Great War because of the massive guilt he felt for… that one thing that happened (Starscream didn't bother remembering), but that was nothing compared to what Starscream had to deal with.

Starscream had it the worst. Not only did he have to put up with the dumb idiot Decepticons he called "teammates" (in the loosest sense of the word), but he also had to put up with Megatron, and there was nothing he hated more than Megatron.

Oh! Look at me! I'm Megatron, the Decepticon leader who pouts all day! Humph! Starscream could think of a hundred reasons he should be the leader of the Decepticons, instead of Megatron.

So until he overthrew that stupid slag-head, he would exist for one reason, and one reason only: to be as annoying and irritating as possible. And if you asked the others, they'd tell you he's doing a really good job at it.

As long as it got him the title of "leader," he didn't care. And then he finally had it! Megatron had blown up and he was leader…!

And then his fellow Decepticons fled from the ship like a bunch of scaredy-sparklings just because they were going to run into the stupid sun.

Well, the joke was one them, because they didn't! He crashed into the moon instead! So haha! But nevermind. He was leader of the Decepticons and Megatron was dead. The perfect ending for such a brave, strong, heroic transformer like Starscream, who had gone through so much on his journey to greatness! Suppressed by the evil Megatron and surrounded by idiots! He was truly lucky to be as wonderful and humble as he was. Plus, he'd basically saved everyone from Megatron's tyranny, so they should thank him, and fall at his stabilizing cervos with gratitude.

Of course, it wasn't like he was going to go find the others. He'd wait here.

Good plan, leader.
