    Cosmic Rust | Transformers: Generation 1 | Season 2 | E44 | Hasbro Pulse
    When Megatron becomes infected with a plague that threatens to wipe out entire races of robots, he decides to kidnap Perceptor and force him to cure him of his infection. But of course, even if Perceptor gives him the cure for this plague, Megatron has no intention of maintaining his part of the bargain. When Megatron is cured, he uses the same plague as a weapon against Perceptor and the other Autobots. But will the Autobots be able to get the antidote for the infection before it's too late?

      While it's true he was a scientist at one point in the distant past, one need only look at human academics to see that most of them have none of the strategic thinking and common sense required to actually lead others. Starscream is vain and simple minded and most leaders would have made an example of him much sooner. Hard to believe it took so long before Galvatron finally killed him.

      @@derekbates4316 Why don't you re-watch the original 3-part Transformers pilot episodes? You'll see that Starscream actually helped re-activate the Autobots unintentionally when he fired his weapon at the crash site. And he later causes delays by wasting some of the energon cubes to "test" them, causing additional delay. And even when they are aboard the space cruiser on their way back to Cybertron, he again challenges Megatron who spared him once before, and created the distraction that Mirage needed to wreck the controls and cause the ship to crash. And that's just the first three episodes.
      Megatron as portrayed in Generation 1 is a strategic and capable, even if he is a conqueror by nature. He was what some would call "lawful evil" but when he became Galvatron, he was more unstable and dangerous, to be sure, but also more entertaining. I especially liked the Web World episode. But he is still a strong and powerful commander who can get followers.
      So yeah, watch them again. Starscream is all about vanity and foolishness, despite being a scientist by training.

They probably should finally make it earlier before Preceptor invented corrostop (aka the only known cure of Cosmic Rust), so they can duplicated the secret catalyst to make more corrostop and also Blaster and Cosmos wouldn't have to go to that failed space trip to find more.

      I’ve said many times that the transformers was the first cartoon aimed at such a young audience to use such an advanced vocabulary. Even from the very first episode, listen to soundwaves very first lines. No way anyone under 16 (and probably older!) would know what he meant. I think that was also part of the appeal, watching it made you want to be smarter and understand those words.

    You know, while Starscream could have taken the chance as well and somehow that didn't cross his mind; you'd think Megatron would rely on Soundwave, the constructicons, maybe make a quick call to Shockwave, or something like that instead of taking medical attention from Starscream of all the cons.
    Megatron is pretty much leaving a metaphorical target on him to say "shoot me at my most vulnerable", I mean seriously, has the seeker been more of a brainiac, Starscream might as well could even make a plausible autopsy paper for the Decepticons given he's a scientist.
