Canon
Megatron and Optimus have been enemies in every adaptation of the Transformers franchise. Ever since it's first series. Various series will often change what their relationship is.

Fanon
MegaOp is one of the most popular and well known ships within and outside of the Transformers fandom. The ship is most often considered the rival of MegaStar. The ship is a classic enemies to lovers ship, although different fans will add their own twists and interpretations of their relationship.

Those that ship the two from the Prime series, believe that the two give off more of a "divorced energy" during the series. Many felt that the two being friends who used to be on the same side before Megatron started the Decepticons adds to this idea. Prime shippers tend to write fic of the two before the events of the series and play into the backstory. Depicting their relationship from when Optimus was Orion Pax and the two were fighting for the same idea. There tends to be a lot of angst in these fics.

On AO3, MegaOp is the most written ship for both Megatron and Optimus Prime. It is also the sixth most written ship in the Tranformers Generation One tag, the fifth most written ship in the The Transformers (IDW Generation One) tag, the fourth most written in the Transfromers (Bay Movies) tag, the second most written in the Transformers: Prime and Transformers - All Media Types tags and the most written in the Transformers Animated (2007) tag.

Or develops into being loyal to Megatron.

Fanon
MegaStar is one of the most popular ships in the Transformers fandom. As it is one of the main dynamics of any Transformers adaptation. Most shipping comes from Transformers: Prime, as it is the most popular of the modern day adaptations, as well as being the one that came out at the big internet fandom boom of the early 2010s. Although there are also many who started shipping them due to the G1 cartoons, given how often Transformers would end up in rather compromising positions that led to shipping. Other started shipping them from the G1 IDW comics, which greatly expand on their dynamic from the original cartoon.

With rumors that MegaStar fan artist was now working on Transformers: EarthSpark, many shippers are hoping for EarthSpark to canonize the ship. Although there has been no source provided on if this is true, so many are still wary. That doesn't stop many shippers from wanting to see a confrontation between the two in a future episode, as Megatron has since become in an autobot in the series, while Starscream is locked away by GHOST.

On AO3, MegaStar is the most written ship for Starscream and the second most written for Megatron. It is also the seventh most written ship in The Transformers (IDW Generation One) tag, the fourth most written in the Transformers: Prime tag and the third most written in the Transformers - All Media Type and Transformers Generation One tags.
