I still to this day cannot believe Megatron killed Dreadwing to protect Starscream 

Like how good is the sex that Megs was willing to kill one of his most loyal soldiers to protect the bot who has tried to kill and usurp him about five times in the show alone. 

This is why Soundwave never tried to get rid of Starscream. Megatron would have to choose between them and honestly Soundwave doesn’t want to know the answer to that question.
