#I hoped this wouod be the show to help break out from the old lore and tradition

I wanna say that I don't hate Megatron in ES, in fact I love him very dearly. He is the very reason I got back into TF all these years later. A GOOD Megatron, a character I had only seen as evil or bad being good was a concept so powerful that I got sucked back in.

Then learning about IDW Megatron, only sealed just how complicated a simple Veil of a bad guy, had such depth and layers.

I think a Twitter post put it very simply.

"Can a tyrant who killed millions atone for his sins? The answer is no. But he should try anyway."

I think if we ever got a look at ES Megs (which we won't) for him and Star to talk. He can't undo the damage he is done. He acknowledges what he has done. He is still a damaged person who I wanted to see try, fail but KEEP TRYING.

Much like how Starscream isn't just selfish, he more than just a traitor ,he is a perosn who beyond these simple facets that people have come to beleive him to be.

Much like Megatron is much more than being the leader of a the cons who was brutal. He clearly cares for Dorothy, willing to work with Optimus, wants to teach the youth what happened so its not repeated.

ES megs is one that caught himself earlier than most, but still did alot of damage.

No one has to forgive him. But I want to see him still strive for what he originally wanted.
