That bit of fanon about the Matrix is a rather elegant solution to the S1-S2 Prime's chest cavity problem. One would think Magnus or Prowl would have at least suggested leaving it behind, under the circumstances.
Reconciling it with Beast Wars might be a bit tricky, but then Beast Wars never quite made up its mind about whether Prime was carrying the Matrix or not.
I'm glad someone other than me noticed Megatron and Starscream's policy differences. Looking at fanfiction, one gets the impression that they have no substantive disagreements at all and every fight they have is a provocation. It's like people can't wrap their heads around the idea that their professional dynamics might be motivated by something other than their interpersonal relationship. Of course sometimes they are just picking fights with each other, but they clearly also have a fundamental disagreement about how to prosecute the war.
