Fiction
The Transformers cartoon
When a large collection of korlonium crystals was found, Megatron had the rocket parked nearby for his latest plan to destroy the Autobots. He had his troops under command of Starscream await the Autobots near the crystal site and attack them, intending to use the battle as a distraction. Laserbeak was sent out to get Optimus Prime away from the others, knock him out and collect the data Megatron needed to feed his cloning device. Laserbeak's mission met with success and the machine created a flawless copy of the Autobot leader.
Infiltrating the clone into the Autobot army, Megatron tried to gain access to Teletraan I, but failed to do so before the real Optimus Prime showed up. With the Autobots unwilling to just kill the other Optimus, Megatron had the rocket's systems send out a signal that tricked Teletraan I into believing the korlonium crystals were becoming unstable and liable to explode. When the Autobots went to look, they stumbled into a second ambush. As before, Megatron supervised his troops from the rocket base, this time in the company of Starscream. The Decepticon leader revealed to his second-in-command that he intended to have him killed by the Optimus Prime clone to convince the Autobots the clone was the real deal. Starscream fled the base upon hearing that. Megatron send Laserbeak to bring him back. At the time, Windcharger and Spike were near the rocket and saw the two Decepticons fly out off it, cueing them in on the rock formation's true nature. When Laserbeak returned with Starscream, the two sneaked after them into the rocket, where they overheard Megatron elaborate he intended the Optimus Prime clone to kill a clone of Starscream.
When the Autobots uncovered the Decepticon ruse, the Autobots attempted to storm the rocket, but it launched into the sky before they could reach it. As a parting gift, Megatron did see fit to toss Spike out the window. A Prime Problem
