Existence erased
I saw some stuff of Megatrons brainwashing their Starscreams to happily obey them, but are any of the Optimuses willing to brainwash their version of Starscream too? (I think IDW seems the most likely, but that's just me! XD)

Optimus didn’t want to erase Starscream’s memory, but it had to be done.
Megatron had poisoned the seekers mind.
The Autobots erased Stars memory up till Skyfire disappeared in the ice, and they came up with the story that Starscream was trapped under the ice as well.
After the memory eraser, Starscream acts like how he was before the war. Kind but can be tough.
When “taken” by Megatron, he throws a complete fit.
Megatron is confused, his little Star hates him now. Must be Optimus’ fault.
When Megatron goes to call about Star’s missing memories, he gets the awnser that prime freed Starscream from megatron.
After the call, megatron orders Soundwave to fix Starscream.

Memory eraseing is common in the strict autobot society, so that way some of the more dangerous and roudy cons and bots can work better in society.
Not everyone aproves, but they don’t voice it.
When Optimus asked Ratchet to erase Starscream’s memories, the medic isn’t so sure about it, but does so too keep new Detroit safe.
Starscream is reset to his science days, and helps fix things around the city.
Ultra Magnus is impressed that they “fixed” a con, and he erases all info about Starscream being a con.
When Megatron is repaired, he’s shocked at what the bots did to his second.
He vows to change him back after the cons have won Cybertron
Prime
This memory erasing is accidental.
While Prime and Megatron are fighting, Starscream falls off a cliff and hits his helm.
Megatron thinks he’s dead
Optimus takes him back to base.
When Star wakes up, he has no memory of the war. Optimus uses that to his advantage. When asked about his last memory, he said that he had just graduated from the science academy.
Starscream is told that he’s the autobots chief science officer.
The other autobot are not happy that Starscream is around, but soon realize that his behavior stemmed from Megatron’s abuse
When Megatron gets his servos on the seeker, he blames Optimus for the lost memory
FIRST YOU TAKE THE PRIMICY FROM ME, AND NOW YOU TAKE MY SEEKER
Starscream is scared, he wants Optimus as this scary spiky mech stops around a ship.
Cyberverse
Optimus erased Starscream’s memory after his capture.
He wanted to give the seeker a second chance after Megatron
Starscream is a helpful member of team Prime, and develops a deep relationship with Optimus.
Star repairs his relationship with windblade and Bee.
Megatron is furious, and plans to take the seeker back
Honestly I can only speak for myself but for me it probably came form the fact that I headcanon that both Starscream and Optimus are exes of Megatron, who were hurt by him (obviously), but Optimus has already recovered meanwhile Starscream is just getting out of the relationship, so Optimus having already experienced what it's like, helps Starscream out because Optimus knows nobody else will and then they find comfort in each other and fall in love, so I guess the potential that they have xD
Genuinely not complaining, just curious, but where did the sudden uptick in OPStar (StarOP?) come from???? I feel like I missed a memo???
Tho Bonus points if they end up making each other worse
