Fiction
Dreamwave Generation One continuity
Megatron's return to Cybertron and power went a little less glorious than he had planned, courtesy of Starscream attempting his coup d'état just before Megatron did. Megatron, obviously, was not amused by this and had Starscream locked up in a tank filled with the Piranacons he had received from the Quintessons along with the Aerospace Extermination Squadron. Every now and then, he sicced them on the Seeker for his entertainment. The Age of Wrath Pt.2
For one reason or another, their tank was shattered and they died, their tiny corpses littering the floor around a traumatized Starscream. The Age of Wrath Pt.5
