love how op and megatron were brothers. does Optimus ever look at hot rod and bumblebee and feel sad

oh my god yes all the time. i think it makes optimus so sad to see how happy they are and wonder either when the shoe will drop (when will one betray the other) or wonder why he and megatron couldn’t keep this. i think he’s ever so slightly jealous, too, in a way that makes him often avoid watching them interact.

something that i think is fun is that optimus sees a lot of megatron in hot rod. stubborn and charismatic and loud. but hot rod is a foil of megatron AND optimus- at first because he’s unwilling to change (like optimus) before embracing change (like galvatron). so i think optimus sees a lot in bumblebee and hot rod that makes him on the verge of self reflection but ultimately just leaves him uncomfortable with the knowledge that maybe they could have been like this, maybe they could have had this life, this relationship, if he had meant something to megatron, or at least something more than the promise of power.

#god. rodimus and optimus and megatron being foils to each other #because bumblebee IS hot rod’s biggest weakness #he’s so willing to drop everything for him because bumblebee is his brother #and bumblebee is willing to do the same thing right back. he’s so willing to give up everything for hot rod.#but with optimus and megatron….#i think megatron did once love him. but it wasn’t enough #megatron was Always optimus’s biggest weakness #but megatron doesn’t feel the same #and i think it’s an interesting foil of rodimus and megatron as well #that bumblebee continued to stay as rodimus’s biggest weakness even after he got his power #while megatron attempted to kill optimus during his power grab #im not conveying what i want but #suffice to say bumblebee and hot rod make optimus very sad #it’s awful but i think Optimus was somewhat relieved when bumblebee died #because like. oh well if hot rod and bumblebee couldn’t have something perfect and beautiful forever #than megatron and optimus never could either #tf rollback
