* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Starscream realizes that even if he did somehow gain all four Omega Keys and somehow use them to revive Cybertron under his own leadership, he lacks the necessary resources to enforce his rule. He has no warship or army and only a few minor assets to his name, such as a dead clone and no T-Cog. So, after stealing the Omega Keys, Starscream decides to use them as a bargaining chip with Megatron, hoping to rejoin the Decepticons instead of continuing solo.
