[Transformers G1] Why didn't Soundwave stop Starscream from throwing Megatron out of Astrotrain?

In the Cartoon Soundwave was made out to be one of Megatrons most loyal Decepticons. So much so that he retained his position under Galvatron, and Galvatron even had Soundwave rebuilt after Blaster destroyed him in the Headmasters series.

Yet Soundwave didnt do anything when Starscream threw out Megatron. Why is this?

Decepticons are survival-of-the-fittest. If Megatron couldn't stop Starscream himself, Soundwave wasn't going to help him. Soundwave is loyal to the Decepticon ideal, not to Megatron alone.

Look how fast he tried to take over. If he wasn't such an uncharismatic boor he probably would've.
