Promotional materials say that [[spoiler: Starscream will attempt a coup]] [[SarcasmMode Big suprise]]. Having the Combaticons on his side will mimic the original TV show, which the video games have a fun time referencing. They are also seen working together in several of those promotional materials. Onslaught will probably be TheDragon.

He was shown to be quite protective of them in WFC. One of them dying would have to be the reason why he's so stoic in TransformersPrime.
