Was referring to MTMTE 55, not LL 25, but I suppose the point still worksCounterpunch wrote:Megatron died by execution in the central timeline/universe.
It's cool that another version of him is out there, reborn in a way, gallivanting around in some other reality, but he was served for his crimes in the universe that knows him.

He's kind of the every-man soldier and it's really a good take to see him express that it's time to move on and find something else in life.
That sentiment could have come from a more important character, but having it be from someone who's whole life is to be a kill machine was pretty impactful.
I feel like if they twisted his arm to continue the story past the planned conclusion point (since what we got is what we were allegedly going to get, just heavily compressed) the door would be open to do something like this with the Omega Guardians.Counterpunch wrote:ScottyP wrote:Was referring to MTMTE 55, not LL 25, but I suppose the point still worksCounterpunch wrote:Megatron died by execution in the central timeline/universe.

Long game that never occurred, I'd still have liked the crew to actually find ancient bots.
Then for the reformed Megatron, now seeing the error of his ways to be judged not-guilty by those ancient bots because they envisioned a manifest destiny of conquering other worlds.
In the way I'd play it out, they'd judge Megatron for his crimes, find him innocent, but then condemn the descendants for failing to follow their intent. The ancient ones would mobilize a force to impose on these reluctant children of theirs a war-borne path. Megatron and Rodimus would have to return home to prepare Cybertron for what was to come.
Then things would happen.
Both of those instances are before the Bruticus story where the dead leg Swindle being part of the shared "consciousness" of the combiner made at least some of the other Combaticons realize what sociopaths they'd been.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Counterpunch wrote:One moment of sheer brilliant story writing that I feel gets a bit overlooked is when Brawl confides in Windblade that he is war weary and glad for it to be over.

I have a hard time with that moment because not long before that, Brawl gleefully shot Sideswipe in the head when he was already badly wounded and quite finished fight wise. And then he got in on the Onslaught plan and again was brutal and ready to kill. So that moment, I feel like it would have been more impactful with a different character, cause to me, Brawl was one of the farthest from admitting that
