I tend to view Starscream from two angles. He has his own ambition, and he has a hunger for power. With Skyfire there to hone/temper/shape those two aspects, he changes subtly. He'd never be happy in a stagnant, dying society. We know from comic canon, he loves Cybertron. Put those two in line with Skyfire's influence, and he starts making dissent aimed at two things: change, and his own power. Yet, because of Skyfire, and his need to appear strongest, I can't see him submitting to anyone else's dreams of holding power.
I'm not saying he won't get folded into the 'Cons in time, not when it is evident that the early war was based on Autobots supporting the old ways (my head canon for Prime has him at odds with that policy), but early, before it is openly war, I see three sides in a Skyfire-lives world.
