When Megatron flew after the AllSpark, Starscream took the opportunity to surreptitiously plant a shatter bomb on his leader's back, the device's eventual detonation leading Starscream to believe that Megatron was no more. In reality, Megatron had survived though at the cost of his right servo. The bomb's detonation however served to shake up the Autobot ship. Fifty stellar cycles later, Starscream boasted to the Autobots of what he'd done, much to Megatron's rage. Transform and Roll Out Home Is Where the Spark Is
To try and destroy all his enemies in one fell swoop, Starscream implanted remotely activated shatter bombs within two clones only for them to be sent into the upper atmosphere where they detonated without any loss of life. A Fistful of Energon Nonetheless, he felt the trick was worth a revisit and implanted large scale shatter bombs within the Starscream Supremes that would destroy Megatron once and for all (along with any unfortunate human or Autobot within a 500-mile radius). One bomb was deactivated by Omega Supreme while the other detonated within a sphere of AllSpark energy, doing no damage to Detroit. It also failed to kill Megatron. Endgame, Part II
