	Despite the loss of both [[Megatron (Movie)\|Megatron]] and the [[AllSpark]], [[The Fallen]] continued his plans to raise an army and ordered new [[Decepticon leader]] [[Starscream (Movie)\|Starscream]] to oversee the spawning of this army. Without the AllSpark to provide energon, the plan was failing, and the hatchlings continued to die. Starscream's command came to an end when [[Soundwave (ROTF)\|Soundwave]] resurrected Megatron (possibly without telling Starscream). Upon his return to the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)\|Nemesis]]'', Megatron chastised his lieutenant for leaving him to die on [[Earth]], but Starscream defended his actions by saying The Fallen had decreed the spawning of the new army, and in Megatron's absence, someone had to assume command. Furious at Starscream's presumption, Megatron slammed him into a wall containing protoform sacs, telling Starscream that there was no command but Megatron's. Despite warning Megatron of their fragile state, Starscream's presence on the wall caused one of the sacs to break open, causing the hatchling inside to fall out and die. Starscream later presented the body of the hatchling to The Fallen to further emphasize the need to find more Energon, as the other hatchlings would die without it. {{storylink\|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)\|Revenge of the Fallen}}		Despite the loss of both [[Megatron (Movie)\|Megatron]] and the [[AllSpark]], [[The Fallen]] continued his plans to raise an army and ordered new [[Decepticon leader]] [[Starscream (Movie)\|Starscream]] to oversee the spawning of this army.
