#like it's just so fucking over the top how much getaway became a moustache twirling villain and was cast as pathetic in every possible way

Getaway and the whole mutiny arc literally is one of the most disappointing things in all of phase 2 lmao and it’s not that I’m like “oooh Getaway should’ve been a perfect angel who was right and a better captain than Rodimus” it’s more that I would’ve liked to have him NOT immediately descend into cartoonish levels of pure evil and for him to have gotten to make a point about Rodimus/Megatron being shit captains besides the final confrontation between him and Rodimus. Like goddamn I understand now why there are so many Getaway fans/Megatron haters because I’m pretty sure if I didn’t come into this continuity as a Megatron simp I would hate him too

#like it's just... ugh i guess the early cancellation was part of it but like #(holding hands together) #getaway was literally right that it was unfair and ridiculous for the LL to accept an ex genocidal dictator as their captain without questio #he was right about rodimus being a shit captain #and instead of him getting to be 'asshole that has a point' as a sort of rival to rodimus #he basically just went insane immediately (literally insane) #and then what the story ended up being was like #getaway is just a delusional mentally ill asshole with no redeeming traits except his sad backstory #like ugh HE WAS PRETTY MUCH LITERALLY MADE MENTALLY ILL TOO #'getaway wants primus himself to come and tell him he's right' was literally a serious thing that happened #the characters more or less outright stated he had primus apotheosis (not like diagnosed but this is a narrative so we're meant to #take the implication as such) #and then getaway died one of the most brutal on screen deaths faced by anyone except maybe the people who died in grindcore #like it's just so fucking over the top how much getaway became a moustache twirling villain and was cast as pathetic in every possible way #and then got killed in the most horrible way possible #and then afterwards the mutiny isn't even spoken of besides 'oh i forgive you uwu' #JRO put fucking megatron in the final panel of the LL quantum copy as if the mutiny was completely solved #as if megatron was just one of the boys lmao #just leaves such a bad taste in my mouth when i think too hard about it #negativity #squiggposting
