There was actually a time where megatron lost his voice and starscream is like "Oh too bad! He's blown his vocal controls, guess that makes me the new leader!" Like...I'm fairly certain if megatron ever did give up his leadership he would've given it to his most loyal decepticon soundwave or shockwave.
This is the absolute perfect scene from Transformers to become a meme. Why? 1. It makes no sense, even in context. 2. It's one of those scenes that NEVER stops being funny. 3. The sheer delivery of both Frank Welker's AND Chris Latta's lines. Also, I love how the description is a direct reference to Transformers Animated Episode 15.
Megatron: (coughs) Starscream: Megatron has Covid! I, Starscream, am now your leader! Constructicons, do NOT form Devastator until each of you have been properly tested!
I can imagine if Megatron didn't say "Here" when Shockwave was doing Monday role call Starscream would jump up, "Our leader has abandoned us! Now I lead the Decepticons!"
Everyone talking about Starscream being Starscream, but i don't see a single comment about how the most unlikely autobot dropped Megs to his knees; mah boi Wheeljack!
Everything about this is comedic gold. How loud the laser shot is compared to them talking. How fast it shoots and transitions to it hitting Megatron. How he immediately doubles over in half a second. Frank Walkers delivery. The fact that he basically just got the wind knocked out of him, and that Starscream didn’t even blink, declaring himself leader while his boss had a fucking tummy ache. I doubt they were going for this but the comedic timing is fuckin fantastic. It will never not be funny
this isnt even the worst instance either, one time he tried claiming leadership because Megatron had a damaged vocal component and then Starscream crashed into a pile of Energon cubes. thats the equivlent of me seeing that my boss has a sore thoat, claiming that I'm the manager now, and then opening a vault and swiming in a pile of money Scrooge McDuck style right in front of my aforementioned boss.
Weren't they all breaking down that episode? If so then it's less him taking Scrooge McDuck money bath and more him saying that Megatron's sore throat makes him unfit to rule but not his own inability to fly straight. Still funny though.

I was a kid that grew up watching this in the 80s and I have never forgotten this scene lol I now have my 3 year old son loving G1 show and the movie! We will act out the movie all the time! So awesome to be able to be a kid again and play with transformers lol
Megatron: * cough * Starscream: Decepticons, I unfortunately bring news that megatron is sick of a space flu called coronavirus, but don't be sad, a new leader rises carrying the honor of our fearless and soon-deceased leader, I starscream self-proclaim leader of the decepticons
Rumor has it hasbro/takara were afraid that starscream and the other seekers would look too much like Macross/Robotech gerwalk modes when mid transformation, so they made sure to either not show them transforming or to make their transformations extremely basic as to not incur the wrath of harmony gold/tatsunoko.
If I remember correctly, none of the other decepticons call Starscream out on this, except Megatron, who gets back up, says "you couldn't lead anything", transforms into a gun and attaches himself to Starscream. Megatron had some strange ideas regarding coups.
Would have been a secured win if Starscream had just finished off Megatron. Right there within such a close range he could have been so easily killed. But no, Starscream just had to go straight for proclaiming leadership and fly off without a care.
Megatron: *Gets a Pfizer Vaccine* Also Megatron: "I don't feel so good." Starscream: "MEGATRON HAS FALLEN! HE SHOULDN'T HAVE TAKEN THE BOOSTER WHICH MEANS I AM THE LEADER OF THE DECEPTICONS NOW!!!"
That’s literally what he does every last chance he gets especially in G1 more than Prime or Animated or anything else like Megatron could like even literally just stub his foot on something and he’d just be like “aaahh!!” And then like fall down again and then Starscream’s just like “oh yay Megatron has fallen! I guess that means that makes me the new leader!” It’s such a good but yet for this now a hilarious concept and it was quite clever too! Like he’s literally done that like more than several times throughout his original run in a good portion of G1!
I love how Megatron would get a tiny cut n starscream would take over as leader in a second
Megatron trips
Starscream: iM yOuR LeAdEr now DeCePticOnS”
Arent supposed to buffed megatron stats and leadership to be the one not screamer with f15 on steroids
