[He's sitting on his 'chair' in the Hollow's empty throne-room...looking more scuffed than normal. From the small energon stains, the dust, and the smirk on his face...it might be obvious he just came from the Arena. It definitely looks as if he won.Soundwave and Ratchet both disappeared for three days: I have the evidence of their absence, right

No you won't.

Even the mighty fall ... and you are hardly even ... that.

So sad to see you like this, Starscream. At my mercy.

[He makes a slight gesture with his hand.]
An attempt to ... show off? Push around ... your authority?
[Small laugh to cover up any pain he was feeling from his movements.]
You're as predictable as the rest.

You compliment me; you insult me. You admire me; you hate me.
And you.
[He found a loose wire, and squeezed it.]
You drew out the war.

So he could either try begging or use his time to just infuriate Megatron.
Decisions, decisions.]
Me? ... Don't blame me for your ... own failures. If you were a better leader ... you would have ... already won. But you're losing ... aren't you? So you blame everything but ... yourself.

Obviously, it did not work out well. The competition inside caused us to fail.
That, Starscream, is your own doing. I may have encouraged infighting but it seems I never lost sight of the goal.
You did.
And now you're making friends with Autobots.

[Starscream growls and tries to move himself despite everything.]
We lost sight of the goal because it was never really there to begin with. It was always about your own control, your own glory -- not our faction's.
If I were leader, we would have already won, I would have --
[Of course the sudden realization of Megatron speaking of him being friends with Autobots throws him off -- his statement suddenly lost.]

That is what you make it out to be.
Yes, it is for glory, but it is for the glory of any who can take it--against the Autobots, for our cause.
Can't you sacrifice your own pride to focus on what is important?
Or would you rather dally with those who really will subvert you?

At least physically.]
It's about your own power and control of us all. You only preach it about being a cause to gain followers.
But really the only one who subverts me is you.

[He laughs!]
What would I possibly want with having to proto-sit all of you?
Tell me, Starscream, what sorts of things do I have my army do?
Reply
[Starscream just glares]
I'm not telling you anything else. Figure it out yourself.
Reply
Why not tell me what it is you hate about your Megatron so much?
I'm sure it would be enlightening.

[If Magnum was still conversing off and on with Shockwave, he'd probably give Megatron all sorts of ideas anyway.]
