#...but is that referencing 9 million from the present (as of the time in g1) or 9 million from the end of the timeline????

So… asking more so I can collect others opinions on the matter if I were to write any universe crossover fics.

How would you list the different Megatrons ages, like, who’s oldest and who’s youngest (comparatively ofc, these ARE cybertronians after all, ha). I’ve thought about it with other characters but for some reason Megatron gives me the most trouble. I’m not saying I think he’s especially young in any way in any iteration (part of his cunning charm in my opinion, comes from the fact that he’s had time to become knowledgeable and inspire fear) but it’s something I find myself rolling over in my head. Like, tfa and earthspark seem younger than idw and prime for instance.

But yeah, just something I’ve pondered and figured I could ask. Have a good day/night! 💙

SO

So so so so so

Off the bat, I'm pretty sure that as of tfone currently, tfone Megatron is the youngest Megatron. Easy. (Now, if we were suddenly shown the END of the tfone timeline with the war being especially long in that continuity and everything...that would be a different story). Considering how (while we don't know how long a cycle is in that continuity) he and Optimus are younger than 50 cycles, as they were created during Sentinel's reign.

I am...unaware, currently, of who would technically be the eldest.

I understand that G1 Megatron (and likely Earthspark Megatron) are 9 million years old. And, right now, that's the biggest number I can find, so...??

Idk.

I would have to say, just by eyeballing the timelines a little and running with what I know (and a little bit of vibes), tfp Megatron is probably the oldest version of Megatron.
