Mind you, we're not talking Bayverse Megs. That whole continuum can go die in a fire.

Is Megatron simply a one dimensional big bad, obsessed with control and domination purely out of a desire for complete subjugation to his ego? Or is there, as they say, more than meets the eye? Is he secretly a tortured antihero who sees violence and warfare as his only option? Is he a visionary who transcends the common understandings of good and evil? Does he simply like to kick Starscream around for any reason at all when he feels like it? You be the judge.

I genuinely thought this would attract even a little bit of attention. Swing and a miss.

I had to check to see who Megatron is/was. Pretty sure I can say with all accuracy that I've never seen an episode of Transformers, which is odd being that I think I'm in the right age demographic for it.

I was a G-Force/Battle of the Planets boy.

I dabbled in Battle Of The Planets briefly some years ago, I should revisit. The story of Hasbro Transformers being plundered from Diaclone/Takara is probably the quintessential example of a US company making a fortune on another country's innovation.

He tried making demands of Unicron, doesn't get more single-mindedly monomaniacal than that

That scene in the movie where he blows Iornhide's head off... so sick. You know him and Starscream get it on. Starscream is Megatron's equivalent of the man slave of that guy from The Roadwarrior.

You mean Master Blaster from Beyond Thunderdome? I can't imagine the homunculus getting it on with the behemoth.

No I meant Mohawk guy's boy toy, he had that other dude on a chain. The guy who got killed by the metal boomerang. So Starscream is that blond dude in this situation. You don’t get a more Australian, post apocalyptic, stereotypical weapon than a metal boomerang.

I'm glad where talking about Trasnformers, I have been working on some fan fiction these past months.
Here give it a read, you'll be glad you did.

It's not a virus, ha ha, why would I do that? No it's clean fun for everyone. Fell free to share with your friends, I need some feed back. Might make a series of them.

I've seen all the episodes and movie in the theater at the time of release. I don't think I ever questioned his motives. Cobra Commander was certainly easier to find common ground with.
