Megatron’s face when Silas advises him to ‘relax’.
Human. That is the face of someone who has been doing the same job for one million years and only enjoyed it for the first five. That is the face of someone who has never had a weekend. That is the face of someone who was in a coma and spent every second of it killing Autobots on endless loop in his mind. That is the face of someone so averse to the mere concept of relaxation that he made Starscream his second-in-command, which is like willingly sharing an office with a hungry alligator that is somehow also a chronically anxious chihuahua.
Tarantulas is such a deeply tragic character and I’m very upset about him
There’s this desire to procreate which is framed in a way that’s supposed to make him creepy but I can’t help but sympathize
His greatest work, his child, was ripped away from him and his partner abandoned him to a life of torment that he was able to climb out of
It left him twisted, he had changed so that nothing could hurt him like that ever again, focusing on how the war has twisted Cybertronian society because it was all he had left to do
And he still wanted to be with the partner who hurt him because he saw it as another chance to create life, he wanted this because even though he was all but destroyed the partnership was fruitful
But he discovers that his greatest work, his son, is still alive and he goes to tell him he loves him
To tell him he never meant to leave him all alone
And he realizes that it was for the best that he didn’t raise his son, even if it would have brought him great joy. Even if it was the thing he wanted to do most in the world.
But it was enough to be able to see what a good person his son grew up to be.
His Ostaros, the life he created, his greatest work grew into something good, and that was enough
