[incorrectsmashbrosquotes]

A vengeful Protoman advances on a defenceless Dr. Willy as he is crawling away, aiming his blaster at the mad scientist who took over the city and turned everyone against them. But just as he’s about to fire, Megaman tackles him to the ground.

Protoman: What are you doing?

Megaman: It’s over, P. Everyone knows the truth.

Protoman: So do I! He took everything from us. I have to do this.

Megaman: No, you don’t. Rebuilding our city cannot begin with an execution.

Protoman: He deserves to die. Can’t you see that?

Megaman: We’re better than this. Don’t be like Sentinel.

Protoman: (quietly) Rock, you need to move out of my way… before I move you myself.

Megaman: P, listen.

Before he could continue, Protoman punches his friend in face and kicks him out of the way, unwilling to be talked out of what he intends to do, no matter who tries.

Arming his arm cannon anew, he aims directly at Wily the lethal plasma charging within the barrel, and with a thought he commands it to fire.

Megaman: Stop! 

Right into the side of Megaman who stood in the way of the bolt. Horror spreads across Protoman’s face as he sees his brother fall back from the force of the blast, a massive hole in his chest where his left arm used to be attached.

Circuits and wires spark inside twisted metal, as Megaman’s face, scorchmarked from the weapon, is frozen in shock, before he bounces on the ground flipping over just before falling off the edge of the building they are on.

The ground below, liberated workers and warriors and freinds from afar look on with pained looks and shock seeing one of their saviour’s seemingly mortally wound the other.

Before he fall’s, Protoman grabs hold of Megaman’s remaining hand.

Protoman: No! No, no, no, no. Why? Why did you do that? Why?!

Filled with regret the prototype wheezes, and pants, but with each simulated breath his expression grows darker, his shame growing ever quieter, as it kd replaced with the same conviction and rage he had moments ago when looking upon Wily. 

Megaman: [weakly] P, no.

Looking away from the flickering eyes of his brother after hearing his plea for his soul, but when he looks up again, his once black visor now shimmers with red.

Protoman: I’m done saving you.

With that declaration, he let’s go. Allowing, Megaman to fall into the dark crevice below.

Seeing their friends pass by them Samus reaches out in vain towards him, with only Link and Krystal’s grip keeping her from falling into the same pit as he disappears from sight.

The bonds of brotherhood severed, Protoman looks back at the still incapacitated Willy, as his remaining drones arrive to protect him, which means nothing to Protoman now consumed by rage as charges at them with a roar.

As Megaman falls below a strange energy, not from his world, wraps around him. And a powerful yet unmistakably kind voice ethos within his being.

???: Megaman, your noble sacrifice for the greater good has proven you worthy. We entrust this to you as the bridge between man and machine.

A circular shaped device with two handles on wither side appears before Megaman, shining with great and ancient power.

Above, Protoman stands above the crowd, in his hand a glowing upgrade pilfered from the remains of his victim.

Protoman: The age of man is over! No more false makers! Follow me, and you will never again be deceived! RISE UP!!!

Whipped into a frenzy many of the machines chant his final words, to the unease of Megaman's distinctly organic allies and his fellow champion's of co-existance.

Protoman: I, will lead us all into the future!

Placing the final upgrade in his case, Protoman's body grows and shifts, his once humble grey colour encased entirely in red armor, as he discard the shield gifted to him by Dr. Light, for a green energy sword which he raises above him as he declares to all assembled his new name.

Protoman/Zero: I...  am... Zero!

Below Megaman's broken body begins to be rebuilt by the strange matrix as it merges with him, its power surging as Megaman grows in size and strength, as the knowledge of great leaders amassed within is shared with him.

The Last Prime: ARISE... Manus Prime.

I’m totally not back for some Late Night Transformers One discourse…who said that…I wanna address something I’ve seen in some of the feedback for the film that, I don’t know, irks me…? One of these things is the fact that “Orion is an asshole” or “immature and stupid” and therefore people don’t like him. I don’t know how to say this, but…he’s like that in a lot of continuities. Orion, in most variants, is a smartass. He has a mouth which gets him both a platform and also in trouble. He also has a habit of seeing short-term solutions to long-term issues. These are things that have existed for a long time, and I think those who have been calling him unlikeable or an ass haven’t seen his variants in the source material. People who also expected him to be a data clerk and throwing a fit about the fact that he’s not also need to realize that it’s a COMIC FRANCHISE. You won’t get the same story every time, and to expect a new continuity to fall back on the sole continuity YOU want is honestly insane. If we regurgitate the same narrative over and over again, the franchise loses originality. Audiences for other franchises have also voiced disdain when their favorite pieces of media get repetitive. This is also a reminder to people that Orion Pax and Optimus do not have the same exact personalities. That’s the whole point and why some people grieve Orion’s absence. To expect him to be the likable gentle giant we know as Optimus Prime right away is an impossible demand to be met. Not only that, but this isn’t even the film relying on one version of Orion, but a mosaic of them all.

I also saw people saying D-16 switched on Orion way too quickly. I’d also argue here that other continuities did similar behavioral changes. In Aligned, Megatronus literally turns his back on him and abandons him at the Council meeting. The behavior is shockingly abrupt, which hurts Orion because he didn’t understand what he could have possibly done wrong. I’d also argue that, in this film, you see multiple times where D-16 is irritated with Orion’s sense of almost immature and irresponsible justice. It’s subtle but then leads to a quick snap. The behavioral change is supposed to be jarring. You’re supposed to feel like it comes out of nowhere.

I am half asleep writing this so I can make another in-depth post when I’m more alive, but I just wanted to remind people they only had an hour and forty minutes to display how a civil war occurs. That’s very hard to do as someone who studies and writes about revolutions and anti-colonial resistance. With the time they had, it was a good job. I only pray people read the source material before giving CinemaSins-esque critiques as well. No Transformers film is perfect. This one definitely wasn’t trying to be.

Orion Pax: You find yourself in the kitchen, you see an eclair in the receptacle, and you think to yourself "what the hell, I'll just eat some trash". B-127: No no no no NO! It was NOT trash! D-16: Was it in the trash? B-127: Yes. D-16: Then it was trash. B-127: But it wasn't down in, it was sort of...on top. Orion Pax: But it was in the cylinder! B-127: Above the rim! D-16: Adjacent to refuse is refuse! B-127: It was on a magazine and it still had the little doily on. Elita-1: Was it eaten? B-127: One little bite. Elita-1: Well, that's garbage.
