This links back toThe Transformers: The Movie, which includes a similar scene.
Both scenes are strikingly similar, and even thematically connect in terms of establishing Starscream’s rivalry with Megatron.
In the latter movie, Starscream’s coronation is interrupted by the reborn Megatron, now called Galvatron.
Galvatron kills Starscream, a fitting result of their rivalry throughout the film.
The scene inTransformers Onesees Megatron, still calling himself D-16, challenging Starscream.
