** Putting this into greater perspective with everything else that happens in the series; [[spoiler: Galvatron throws himself into Unicron's maw after realizing that while Unicron engineered everything, ''Galvatron'' was his greatest pawn. ''He'' forged the Decepticons in the pursuit of the Mini-cons. ''He'' chose violence and callousness at every turn and alienated his men. ''He'' chose to listen to Sideways and Thrust. ''He'' was the reason Starscream got himself killed trying to prove a point. And in the end he catches himself far too late provoking war ''all over again'' just because he thought the consequences of it were over. It was just as much a last attempt at doing ''something'' right as it was his attempt to end the war.]]

* The backstory between Hot Shot and Wheeljack in the "Past" two-partner deserves mention. Before Whelljack defected to the Decepticons, Hot Shot used to be his supervisor until they were both trapped in a fire accident. To get additional assistance, Hot Shot runs out of the fire over Wheeljack's protest as he promises that he will return, leaving his friend waiting. But when Hot Shot made it outside of the flames, Hot Shot's superior refuses to let Hot Shot endanger himself by entering the flames again, leaving Hot Shot frantically screaming as he slowly the fire seemingly engulfs Wheeljack. Wheeljack believed that Hot Shot had abandoned him, and when Megatron found and rescued him, he swore loyalty to the Decepticon commander.

** To drive home the tragedy here, in the Japanese version, it's more clear that Starscream turns off his sword and that he allowed Megatron to finish him to make the point that infighting was pointless. Before this, in the Japanese dub, Starscream called Galvatron the "ultimate fighter," making it even WORSE. It certainly seems Starscream could've won the duel but sacrificed himself for the greater good.
** That wasn't even the most heartbreaking part. The worst part is when Optimus informs the children and seeing their reactions. [[spoiler:Especially Alexis.]] ''Ouch.'' Legends of the Microns even goes as far as to completely mute the kids' reactions so you can hear the emotional music.
** There's also the way Starscream's Mini-Con partner Swindle (who Starscream ejected so he wouldn't share the same fate) reacted. He just stands there, in silence, and asks Optimus if there's any hope of [[spoiler:Starscream being alive]]. It's the ''way'' he beeps that hits you in the gut.
*** The truly touching thing was that Starscream was desperately trying to get Megatron to do the right thing, even if it cost him his own life. Starscream points out how he remembers that he made an oath to Megatron a very long time ago and knows that he could never bring himself to break that oath by striking down Megatron.
