Great post
I think the G1 cartoon really did have a great basis for a Decepticon ideology only they never lectured the audience on it.
Basically the Decepticons think
1) Only Decepticons live matter (this is important) they don't fight for all Cybertronians and say fuck the Autobots who are the same species like them.
2) Tolerating other ideologies is wrong (see fuck the Autobots! They are all tree hugging fags!)
3) The Decepticon army (I don't know what to write nation, faction ... ???) and only it must prosper and dominate the universe.
4) Only distinguished Cybertronians can be Decepticons, no organics or other trash allowed
5) Fuck over everyone who gets in the way. Enslave organics and other trash.
6) [arguable] intelligence is important its better to use tricks and strategy to achieve victory
And this explains all of G1 for you Megatron makes pacts with humans and only obeys these pacts as long as its beneficial for them and even plans to betray the humans or fuck them over form the start.
The difference between Megatron and Starscream is that Starscream is impatient (on multiple occasions megatron reprimands him for it) and Starscream is a weakling and coward who will run (Megatron also runs however he is not a complete pants shitting yellow face in doing it), Starscream is also less inteligend then Megatron who is actually "TV cartoon magically intelligent" Meaning he pulls shit like
>AHA you where thinking you can deceive me little did you know I already sensed the deception and planed around it to spring my trap to your trap! Everything did go according to plan!Ignoring the conflicts within the army and its inner factions (insecticons can fuck the Decepticon army over and Starscream wants to overthrow Megatron) its a cohesive worldview.
Autobots are basically tree hugging hippies who don't want to cut down trees because birds live in them while Decepticons don't give a shit about the birds and want to use the resources.
