It's there we see there's more to Megatron than just take over the universe with a bunch of thugs. We see him admit that to build the society, he will have to kill the Decepticons, because his army has become far too entrenched in violence to function as a proper society. It's there we see Megatron admit his army has grown out of control and farbeyond what he originally envisioned because of all the constant wars. It's there we see Starscream come to the realisation the reason Megatron is always so tough with him, but never outright kills him, is because Megatron is training him, preparing him to take command of the Decepticons and that to hold a position of such authority, you have to take it yourself and not get it by chance, and only then will you be strong enough to hold the reigns of the monster and steer it properly. And we see that pay off in the end when Megatron goes down and Starscream grabs Megatron and instead of claiming total leadership like usual, does the proper second in command thing and take battlefield command, calling a retreat and making sure Megatron comes with him, having reaffirmed his loyalty to Megatron until such a time he is prepared to take it by guile and force. Even the sodding comics after this forgets this awesome character development between these two. And it's never been brought up again, either in comics or discussions.
WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO EVER REMEMBERS ALL THIS GREAT CHARACTER STUFF?????

1. Thundercracker
Modern IDW readers know Thundercracker as a former Decepticon who has grown used to living on Earth; having possibly the closest relationship with humans of any of the Transformers and wanting to stay out of the war as much as possible - though sometimes helping out the Autobots when he feels he must - to focus on of all things writing screenplays and looking after his dog. He's a wonderful person, and it's fantastic to see him be such a unique and fun character in the franchise once later writers got a hold of him. So it might surprise some people that this is the story the seed of that characterisation was planted.
