I think we can question Megatron’s competence as leader. Some of his plans are kind of stupid. I also wonder if Beast Wars Megatron’s belief that treachery keeps the wits sharp isn’t something else he borrowed from his G1 namesake. As for killing him off in the movie, we know that was a mistake thanks to Starscream coming back as a ghost, possibly because he’s too stubborn to die. Beast Wars tried to explain this away as a “mutant spark”, but I think it’s just Starscream’s ambition not letting him pass on to the Transformers afterlife, whatever that meant in the original series.
