I had a silly thought.
Imagine Megatron refuses to invite Starscream to his Conjunx Ritus with Optimus, but Optimus invites Starscream anyway.
Everyone expects Starscream to sit with the rest of the Decepticon guests who were invited by Megatron.
Instead, Starscream sits with the Autobot guests that Optimus invited, and right in the front row to boot.
"I was personally invited by the Prime, so of course I will be sitting in the front row where I can watch everything."
And yes, he's wearing a crown.
