Beast Megatron and Starscream have a tussle over Decepticon leadership.

Synopsis

Two days before Beast Megatron and Optimus Prime met...

Travelling from Earth's past to Earth in 2004 through the Blasty Zone, Megatron brings along Psycho-Orb. The planet, as Megatron is aware, contains solitarium. But before he can begin plans to harness its energy, he seeks out the Decepticon forces on Earth.

Arriving at the underwater Decepticon Headquarters, Megatron challenges Starscream for leadership. Infuriated at this apparent act of defiance, Starscream sends Air Hunter and Wingstun out of the room so he can deal with the usurper personally. Outside, Air Hunter extols Starscream's virtues while Wingstun is slightly unsure. Air Hunter's support is in vain, as Starscream's body soon bursts out of the room and Megatron declares himself Decepticon leader.
