Listen…I know im heavily biased towards tfa in general but like….for the most part I genuinely prefer tfa megatron, and after thinking about it for a bit it primarily boils down to 2 things:
1) if someone told me a guy with that smile and that voice who made those speeches got a bunch of ppl to follow him into oblivion id be like “yeah, I absolutely can see that”
2) for 99% of the series he doesnt even bother remembering optimus prime’s name and for some reason or another i find that the funniest fuckign shit
Ok 3) instead of playing stupid games with starscream he just fucking shoots him
Y’know, people have been popping Minimus Ambus into TFA, having been operating the Magnus armor the whole time, and that’s awesome and I love it and what people are doing but consider:
TFA has some of the most screwed up morally ambiguous Autobots. What if someone said “We need Ultra Magnus up and moving to preserve the stability of the commonwealth, and we have a loadbearer here…”
Gimme that sweet body horror of the Autobots literally scrapping Ultra Magnus and reworking his internals so that Minimus can pilot him for “the greater good” 😀
