Decepticon demands

I've got a couple of bunnies centred on the four demands the initial Decepticon rebellion made in my head - before Megatron began letting his megalomania show.

First the demands were as follows:

1. Replace Senate and Council with an elected government

2. Make it legal for government officials to be prosecuted for their crimes.

3. Make discrimination based on core programming, frame model and function class illegal.

4. Start looking for new sources of energon.

First bunny. Optimus and Megatron kill each other, leaving Rodimus and Starscream as the leaders of the their factions. Starscream asks Rodimus for a truce and to meet him for peace talks. He says that he can swing a peace treaty IF the new government formed under the Prime agrees to the demands the Decepticons made when their rebellion started.

Optionally 1) he's actually a double agent, having joined the Decepticons on the basis of those four demands and offered his services to Autobot special ops whne he realised that Megatron and most of the Decepticon command had no interest in actually acheiving those aims

2) Starscream alos demands that initially Rodimus be advised by a council of 5 or 7 transformers made up of Starscream, Soundwave, optionally Shockwave, and 3-4 Autobots (so that the Decepticons are outnumbered by one vote excluding Prime.

3) As two, but he also demands Autobot bondmates or consorts for each Decepticon member of the council (asks for either Sunstreaker and Sideswipe of Skyfire for himself) and offers a list of Decepticons available to become consorts or bondmates for the Autobot council members.

Second bunny. An Autobot approaches Skyfire and shows him the list of demands th Decepticons made at first. He tells Skyfire this would be what Starscream had thought he was signing up for, and the only reason he hadn't been foold wa sthat an abusive ex of his was already highly placed in the Decepticon ranks.

I like the idea that Starscream joined the Decepticons because of those demands, but then I like Starscream with more motivation than just wanting to take over - that is, having a reason for wanting to take over, other than just power.

That reminds me of some fics where Starscream has been cast as the key person who got the Seekers to join the Decepticons. I am also fond of that idea, that Starscream does have a fair bit of influence, it is one reason for why he gained the rank of Second-In-Command.

That actually gives me a different idea. One revolving around Starscream and Rodimus becoming consorts X3

I second the opinion above me. For some reason, I can see this (rather excellent, mind you) idea going towards Rodimus x Starscream. And it is hot.
