			'''Starscream shoulders the burden of his newly acquired (and likely temporary) leadership.'''

			==Synopsis==
			As the [[Decepticon]]s flee from [[Earth]] on [[Astrotrain (G1)\|Astrotrain]], a brooding [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Starscream]] is summoned by [[Shrapnel (G1)\|Shrapnel]], who bears news. In front of the other Decepticons, now low on [[energon]] and demoralized, Starscream announces that [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Megatron]] has ceased to function, and that they must forge a new path of their own. He is slightly premature, as the 'news' is actually that the badly damaged Megatron, guarded by [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Soundwave]] and the [[Decepticon Mini-Cassette\|cassettes]], is beginning to show increased brain activity. An infuriated Starscream attempts to convince Soundwave to let Megatron die, and to use the energon he is using for the rest of them, but he refuses and Starscream stalks out.

			Angry, Starscream reflects that as long as Megatron lives, he will never take power. Shrapnel suggests assassination, but Starscream vetoes this, noting that Megatron would probably come back more powerful than before. Now alone, Starscream muses on the looming chaos. With Megatron gone, the Decepticons will fall apart through infighting. With little more than the troops from Earth, he will be unable to force the issue, and [[Razorclaw (G1)\|Razorclaw]] will certainly challenge him. With Megatron's leadership having led them to the disaster he always foresaw, Starscream is left with grudges... and the [[Matrix of Leadership]].

			Believing the Matrix to be of little more than symbolic value, with any power it might have had used up, Starscream attempts to throw it out an airlock, but is stopped by a returning Shrapnel. Shrapnel reminds him that the Matrix chooses the Autobot leaders, and is amazed that Starscream has it. Realizing the potential, Starscream rouses the Decepticons, claiming that he now wields the power of the Matrix and will use it to lead them to victory once more. His delighted troops chant 'Hail Starscream!' as Starscream leaves, but once out of view, the new [[Decepticon leader]] puts his head in his hands, fully aware that his leadership now rests on the seemingly powerless Matrix...
