Like him making a deal with the Cons (again), fucking others up, being responsible for shit happening on Cybertron and it would be revealed and his popularity would turn into hate, making him lose his positions and fear of getting lynched, but Optimus would step in at some point. Partly because he is a good guy, partly because destabilization during a crisis involving Cons would be dangerous.
It's only an event like this in which I can imagine him finally feeling guilty and looking up to Optimus. Earlier Optimus has always protected him, so it was easy for Sentinel to forget about it, since he didn't have to fear a bad reputation or other consequences. Something like that would be cool, especially if he would finally man the fuck up and make use of his size and help fighting the boss, instead of sulking for being stripped of his roles. Parts of Cybertron would probably still hate and demote him but at least he could prove he can be a honorable fighter to himself and the tfa cast.
