Starscream engineers a weapon to take Decepticon leadership. Some things never change.

Synopsis

Two months after Beast Megatron took Decepticon leadership...

Starscream is rankled and irritated at being forced to serve Beast Megatron. Realizing that he cannot defeat the Tyrannosaurus in a battle of might, Starscream uses his intellect to brew something in a machine at Decepticon Headquarters

Three days later, Starscream summons Wingstun, Psycho-Orb, Air Hunter, and Wrecker Hook and introduces them to the Arsenal Force weapons he has been forging. They include the Jamming Trident, the Boost Hammer, and two other weapons—powerful in their own right, but their true potential is unleashed when they are used in unison as the Arsenal Force. With the exchange of life energy from the wielder of the weapon, the Arsenal Force can emit an immense energy wave.

Later, when Beast Megatron demands to be shown the weapons he has heard about, Starscream takes the opportunity to give a very personal demonstration of the Arsenal Force's power. However, it is of little consequence, as Beast Megatron survives. He allows the traitor to live for producing such interesting weapons.
