#he's a former gladiator chasing his glory days and using the fact that he used to be low caste to excuse everything he does

Y'know even in spite of how good IDW and earthspark megatron are I think tfp megatron is my favorite just for the melodrama and untapped comedic value. This bitch is so emotionally repressed and comically power hungry it circles all the way back to being thematically compelling. He comes back after a several year radio silence with armfuls of Robot Space Crack and immediately assumes power again like nothing ever happened. He throws vehicons off the wings of his ship. He has beef with a 14 year old girl. He abused the power of the anti-god that turns people into mindless drones and was surprised when said god tried to make him a mindless drone. His own ship came alive and tried to stage a mutiny. Optimus prime did a burnout on his face that one time. If someone made him express a genuine emotion besides rage he would spontaneously combust. I fucking love him

#Transformers #he's a former gladiator chasing his glory days and using the fact that he used to be low caste to excuse everything he does #and then by the end of the series he has to come to terms with his own powerlessness and face up to what he's done and he just RUNS. #hes just utterly fascinating in how flawed and contradictory he is #Megatron #tfp megatron
