#Megatron is a wider microcosm of this contradiction being present in the Decepticons as a whole but yeah

[cdr2002]

The character of Megatron post 2005-6 is a constant conflict between “wouldn’t it be a cool subversion if the ‘bad guy’ was actually a based leftist?” and a character originally fundamentally designed as an embodiment of warfare, violence, conquest, resource pillaging, xenophobia, and fascism.

Labor worker revolutionary and Nazi Gun On Legs should kind of be completely incompatible but Transformers media is going to keep trying to make this mixture work regardless and all we can do is hope for the best.

Also somewhere between them is Cool Edgy Gladiator.

That being said, Transformers One is a fantastic movie and you should all watch it.
