"Starscream, you fool..." The Decepticon leader said as he yanked a startled Starscream to his feet.

"Megatron, really it's not my fault. The..."

"Because of your stupidity the Autobots are breaking through," Megatron snapped.

"Megatron...let me exp..."

He stared at Megatron for a moment. A series of emotions crossed his face and finally he smirked. A dark and very dangerous smirk. Without a word or warning, Starscream grabbed the Megatron gun in both hands and smashed it across his knee.

In the not so distant background Skywarp grinned as Thundercracker handed over a stack of credits.
