#the gag is starscream kinda liked executions but he has to be 'good' because megatron is a goody two shoes post lost light

I have this fic idea that under Starscream's reign as Chancellor, executions are still common and legal, even if he has acquitted Megatron. When Starscream and Megatron get together, Megatron is able to come up with a deal with Starscream that allows Megatron to rehabilitate prisoners on death row and if it turns out they can be reformed then Starscream will lessen their sentence.

Starscream grudgingly accepts, which leads to Megatron opening up numerous rehabilitation practices for prisoners.
