What's really tragic about Mandroid is that it's heavily implied that he was a nice and good person before his accident. I find it hard to believe Alex would've been friends with him if Mandroid was an asshole to begin with. Also the fact that the writers would've been very upfront if he was an asshole prior to losing his arm.
The show does actually give us a glimpse of what Mandroid used to be like and that's during his conversation with Dot in Age of Evolution.
He's calm and polite to her, even after she punches and insults him. Notice how he has none of his usual smugness when talking to her. It's also the only time he smiles normally. His character was the perfect chance to explore the themes ES wanted to do, but the writers blew it.

Thinking about Mandroid's final form has got me thinking:
I don't think energon poisoning turned him into this, I think he was being turned into something.
In fact, given the celphalopod like features of Mandroid's final form within the mech he's in, I'm convinced he was being transformed (for lack of a better word) into a Quintesson. His stretchy limbs, the hands with fangs on the palm and his weird appearance while wearing a mech suit seems to hint that, given how in earlier media, Quintessons have been portrayed as wearing mech or being biomechanical in nature, while also sporting attributes similar to squids and octopi. Yeah, I think he was slowly becoming one, but somewhere along the way he betrayed them, if they were the ones who were oppressing the Sharkticons.
However, one of the more interesting things is that none of the Transformers present where like "is that a friggin' Quintesson?!" Although that could be summed up as most of them were taken out by Croft's device, I still think it holds out because you'd think Shockwave would notice which brings me to the thought that in this continuity, no one is aware of the Quintesson's existence, no one knows of Quintus Prime's interactions with them. This has brought me to believe that if the Quintessons are the villains of season 2, they are going to act like they are friends of Quintus and the Transformers, only to double cross them. At this point, given the importance of Quintus Prime to the plot, I won't be surprised if we learn that Cybertron was conquered by the Quintessons during the period between the destruction of the space bridge and the time that Earthspark begins.

*drags my sick body to the laptop* Why does Mandroid keep getting hotter and hotter until the last episodes where he's just that gross head in a machine?

….anyone else think Mandroid is the most lovable villain ever? Dude gave up his own life in his quest to ‘save’ the Earth. He destroyed himself completely. What a selfless guy… anyways yeah, I hope he’s not dead but it does seem that way, so here have this head-cannon. I just imagined he’s there dying and sees a small, stray kitten nearby… which reminded him of what he was fighting for. He wanted to protect what’s good.

Mandroid is lovable prick of a man in a way that he's hilarious to hate make fun of. He's a genius, no doubt, but he's also a pathetic loser, that's fact. And it makes such a blazing combo. Like good man, you're trying to get rid of any Cybertronians on Earth, but for the love of Primus beard, why are you slowly merging in your body the very thing you hate? Did you even see yourself in a mirror? Was that all even necessary? You're literally dying. And beefing with your friend's kids? What are you trying to accomplish with that? Self satisfaction? Feeling of superiority? Ah you trying to destroy them cuz they're basically absorbed Cybertronian technology? Did you forget what you did to your body tho? Literally who are to judge? You have no better things to do than build some tech miracles, chuckle on your own messiah complex and fight bunch of childrens. Get some reality check cuz you painfully obviously got drunk on energon on your way to save the humanity you miserable hoe
#Mandroid really said hold my beer imma become the very thing I despise#man is a huge fan of double standards#I love roasting him he's perfect#he literally has one hundred lethal diseases#and delusional as shit#dr. meridian#mandroid#earthspark mandroid#tfe mandroid#transformers earthspark#tf earthspark#earthspark#incoherent thoughts#imma sleep now#gotta save grand finale for later

As a Mandroid fan, it's nice to see more people being vocal about liking him. What a great character!

Dr. Meridian witnesses, in real life, Optimus Prime's opponent, Megatron!
His reaction is what would be expected of a robotics engineer like him. X3 After seeing Optimus and now Megatron, Meridian gets a suprise when he sees the "enemies" together: https://www.tumblr.com/yayoineko/752577106118082560/sooo-a-dude-obsessed-with-robotics-walks-in-on-2?source=share

NOT FUCKING AGAIN! THE MUSICAL ( TF EARTHSPARK MESSAGES AND MANDROID'S GENOCIDAL HORRORS EDITION)
Holy shit I am losing my mind... @monocle-teacup you better read this <3 (dead serious though cuz wtf)
Also of course as always, spoilers ahead this time for season 2 of earthspark so dont want it? skedaddle (s2 isnt worth caring about though, trust me)
Also again nobody go witchhunting or harassing anyone, this is discussion of media and someones poor takes on some clear themes in a show.
Okay you're using THE TERRIBLE WRITING OF S2 TO PROVE YOUR LITTLE HORRIBLE SLIMY GENOCIDAL GREASEMAN IN THE RIGHT???? WHY ARE YOU VOUCHING FOR HIM. WHY DO YOU SAY HIS IDEAS ARE RIGHT AUUUUGH-
How you continue to have terrible takes astounds me 💀 You can't be serious man how are you this like,,, braindead? And ignoring all of what S1 is trying to teach even before S2 came out? oh wait.
You choose your attraction of a gross ass man over LITERAL IN YOUR FACE PLOTPOINTS BECAUSE YOU'D RATHER MEATRIDE YOUR BABYGIRL MANDROID OVER EVERYTHING THE SHOW HAS BUILT UP. Not like you probably ever cared to connect any of the dots.
Oh, to help you do that, I have a previous post I made where I pinged you! You should read it before you read anymore, it'll help with what I'm about to preface here. Please READ IT.
Okay, time to dig into literally EVERYTHING ALL OVER AGAIN BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEEM TO LET GO OF THIS MAN AND HIS OBVIOUS LACK OF HUMANITY IN HIM AND CONTINUE TO SEE SOMETHING THATS NOT THERE. I will start off by saying the quality of the writing for season 2 and season 2's entire disregard for season 1 don't discredit season 1, no matter what nonsense there is. I hate season 2 for all its going for thus far and its just genuinely a waste of my braincells to try watching it again. There are also things not specifically related to mandroid but are also pet peeves that show your lack of attention to detail.
How. Did you miss this. Humans have been living with bots for 30 to 40 years at this point they don't bat an eye at them because THEY THINK THEY'RE JUST SOME BOTS CASUALLY WALKING AROUND. They don't give a fuck about the terrans; only a select few know they are even earth-born bots. Transformers have been living amongst humans casually don't you think they wouldn't give two fucks and know not to gawk at random robots walking around like they just started existing?
You saw the Philadelphia episode (I hope? because you act like you haven't) or really any episode they are just chilling and walking around, you didn't notice nobody gave a damn? What about Optimus, Elita 1, and other bots? Would you randomly gawk at a group of sapient beings walking amongst you who've been there for a lifetime?
No.
They had to hide FROM GHOST not FROM THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE. Ghost would have tried to capture them and imprison them by deeming them a threat for merely existing, not humans as a whole. The fact you miss this entire detail is incredibly sad.
Okay now onto Mandroid stuff because you never stop meatriding him MY GOD
Huh, maybe you need to USE YOUR BRAIN and realize he was not protecting earth. He -thought- he was, because he perceived them as vermin who need to be wiped out and a threat to humanity. Like I said before in my last post DECEPTCONS DO NOT EQUAL ALL OF TRANSFORMERS OH MY GOD. Plus with this season its clear there can't be the same writers on this team. They have sacrificed the story for toymaking opportunities DON'T YOU THINK MAYBE HE'S NOT RIGHT JUST BECAUSE S2 SOMEHOW SAYS THE -CONS IN SPECIFIC (NOT ALL BOTS MY FUCKING GOD)- ARE TO NOT BE TRUSTED AND ARE DANGEROUS? USE YOUR CRANIUM THAT EVOLUTION HAS GIVEN YOU. Mandroid conflated every single transformer with a twisted ideal in his head born out of hate, not from a true sense of danger nor did he separate cons and autobots or unaligned bots in his head from the conglomerate "evil" he thinks they are.
As above so below, you're DEFENDING HIS TERRIBLE GENOCIDAL BEHAVIOR BY BEING LIKE "HE MIGHT HAVE DONE BAD STUFF BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY HE WAS JUST PROTECTING EARTH" over a giant guardian robot who's being mind controlled and had no intention to do this or will of her own. Why are you so adamant on convincing yourself he was a good or commendable man? Where is your basic comprehension of anything in this show at all. HE TRIED TO COMMIT GENOCIDE ON A WHOLE RACE OF BEINGS WHO HAD BEEN COEXISTING ON EARTH FOR YEARS. It's not something you can go 'erm acshually-" on.
He literally killed EVERYONE who was a transformer; even if their death wasn't permanent they still died because he saw them all as a disease needing to be eradicated.
He has no sense of humanity, only hate in his heart and the need to destroy. How do you think he was protecting earth when he had succeeded at murdering an entire population off the face of the earth even if it's only for about 5-10 minutes? HOW ARE YOU THIS BLIND TO MEATRIDE HIM THIS HARD.
I honestly doubt they knew about her, let alone understood the glyphs everywhere. They were just mapping ancient tunnels and figuring it out; Croft also probably forbid anyone from entering due to the DWELLERS, not Terratronus; she was well off course and well protected/hidden by dirt and freaky alien monsters. Even if they somehow DID know, GHOST probably just utilized Terratronus to justify imprisoning dozens of transformers; whether they were cons, neutral, or autobots that didn't want to be part of a government mass incarceration and control program. Mandroid probably didn't give a shit at the moment because he was busy trying to squash literal children like bugs. Shut up about this stupid attempt at the executives making money off of random plot bullshit and toymaking opportunities.
AS STATED IN MY LAST POST: YOU ARE CONFLATING DECEPTICONS WITH ALL TRANSFORMERS, AS MANDROID DID. ONE GROUP DOES NOT EQUAL ALL OF THEM, AND DOES NOT MAKE TRANSFORMERS AS A WHOLE DANGEROUS IF THERE ARE INDIVIDUALS WHO CAUSE TROUBLE. MANDROID SAW ALL TRANSFORMERS AS A THREAT EVEN IF THEY HAD BEEN LIVING WITH HUMANS PEACEFULLY FOR DECADES. YOU ARE HERE SIMPLY REITTERATING A STUPID AND NULL POINT THATS PROVEN WRONG AGAIN AND AGAIN IN S1. His reasoning behind his actions are "we need to get rid of these filthy dangerous vermin who are invading our precious planet." Also the chaos terrans being born evil is a horrible plotpoint and groups being born evil is terrible writing, just like the entirtey of Season 2 because these new writers on the team understand nothing about the show as is. (Yes, most of the writers in s2 never worked on s1)
This one. this one enraged me. This is the most recent post I'd seen about mandroid as of writing (june 8th) and you have SERIOUS AUDACITY to say this. HE KILLED ALL OF THE MALTO BOTS AND TRIED TO KILL ROBBY AND MO; WHAT MAKES YOUR FUCKING MANDROID LOVING SHRUNKEN AND POCKED BRAIN THINK THAT HE WOULD TEAM UP WITH THEM LIKE SOME BUDDY BUDDY ADVENTURE? HE ATTEMPTED AND COMMITTED GENOCIDE, UNETHICAL EXPERIMENTATION, CHILD MURDER, AND MORE.... HE WOULDN'T MAKE JUST """""SMARTASS COMMENTS""" HE'D STRAIGHT UP HATECRIME ALL OF THEM.
I'm not gonna be nice with this last one. You are incredibly media illiterate if not just lacking basic cognition to think he of all people would willingly team up with people he wanted to kill off during season 1. You watched the finale of season 1 and GATHERED NOTHING FROM IT. You, in all your 34 years of life, somehow have not obtained a single gram of "maybe I shouldn't vouch for and defend a person who's xenophobic and wants to commit genocide" despite enjoying writing and HISTORY. HOW ARE YOU ONE TO ENJOY HISTORY YET MAKE NO CONNECTIONS TO ATTROCITIES COMMITTED BY PEOPLE TO WHAT MANDROID IS DOING AND HOW THEY ARE WRONG AND ENTIRLEY UNFORGIVABLE. At this point I believe you to be willfully ignorant to pass off your crush on this man as okay and convince yourself he is right somehow; even going as far as to utilize this new season as an excuse for him.
Your audacity to think he is anything other than a pathetic horrible man with terrible and morally bankrupt goals and actions somehow will be nice to groups of people he hates astounds me to no end. The show gives you all you need to connect the dots and you haven't. I'm aware i'm likely talking to a brick wall because you're likely willingly ignorant to excuse yourself or will never read this but I will call out this nonsense regardless. It comes off as extremely weird and bordering on you just believing in the ideologies he spouts.
I will say this again to make it clear; Mandroid is a stand-in for people who believe in racist and xenophobic ideas, and will stop at nothing to destroy them. The transformers are an allegory for refugee immigrants, and the terrans are first gen decedents. You continuing to believe his lies and defending him just borderlines on you upholding racist ideals. (That might sound deranged af of a claim but considering the context... yeah)
TLDR for lazy people: This fool pinged in this post is claiming a character who ATTEMPTED TO COMMIT GENOCIDE as being in the right somehow with his ideals/actions and not a total morally bankrupt person. Meatriding getting in the way of logic.
-No cheers to you, Wizard and Cupid

I must say that I approve and support all the heinous acts committed by my villainous favorites. But that's not all, I think they should have committed more large-scale and terrible atrocities than those they committed. I think it would be fun.
Okay, when Decepticons commit crimes, everyone has fun, but human characters suddenly can't do such things. Unfair! We are for equality! Anyone can be a villain with a fanbase!

If Mandroid wasn't revived at the end of Earthspark with everyone else, it makes me think Quintus' power was reaching everyone and then it got to him and went "Nope. Not You." before continuing on its merry way.

Dr. Meridian or 'Mandroid' from Transformers: Earthspark is a new favourite character of mine. Here's the only colour drawing of him I've done so far, based on his appearance in episode 18. Yes, I do primarily like villainous characters
I've been a TF fan since 2007 but have never drawn much fan art. I really wasn't into it most of the last decade but Earthspark has dragged me back in again to some extent, I really like the characters
