#but till then i hold massive disdain for megas

[pikatrainer99]

Hot take: I don't like Mega Evolution... (NO TOXICITY PLEASE, I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THIS A TOXICITY-FREE ZONE BECAUSE I'VE GOT NO TIME FOR TOXIC PEOPLE!!!)

I'm excited for Pokémon Legends Z-A, because of course I'm excited for a new Pokémon game...but I'm NOT excited for Megas to return. Megas are the most unfair of all the battle gimmicks because not every Pokémon can Mega Evolve, whereas every Pokémon can use Z-Moves, Dynamax, and Terastallization. Plus, Pokémon that didn't NEED Megas got them, like Mewtwo (who got TWO Mega forms), Garchomp, and Rayquaza just for some examples (and in Rayquaza's case, made it INCREDIBLY broken because it didn't need to hold a Mega Stone). There is one thing and one thing only that would make me feel a TINY bit better about Megas, and that one thing is giving one to EVERY starter, not just the Gen 1 and 3 starters. It's only fair in my opinion.

My TF6 movie plot

so, fresh off the hype from TLK, i decided to create a full plot rundown for what i think the 6th movie we will get after the bumblebee movie should be like.  enjoy It’s been a year since cybertron arrived near earth and many cybertronians have returned to it, including new autobots and decepticons.  As they repair their world, optimus strives to achieve peace between transformers and humanity, who still hold them in general disdain.  A peace conference is set to take place on cybertron in the ruins of Iacon between the autobots and human diplomats.  On another part of cybertron, the decepticon army has reunited under megatron, chief among them barricade, slipstream, sixshot and breakdown as well as the four Mega-legion troopers. Megatron, who realizes how much of a threat humanity does pose, intends to thwart the peace talks.  His defeats have also affected his psyche, as he constantly hallucinates starscreams severed head mocking him. On earth, many things are happening as well; Seymour Simmons has taken over lord burtons estate and resources and investigates a mysterious woman who has taken charge of the investigation of Unicron. Izabella lives in an old lake house with sqweeks, wheelie, brains and seaspray, an autobot who prefers earth. At one of the horn sites, quintessas human guise grows desperate to kill unicron when she is confronted by some of her former knights. Before the knights are able to attack her, they are killed by beasts formed from unicrons horn, though they soon disintegrate. Quintessa becomes worried that her attempted draining of unicron has roused him and is forced to kill the human witnesses. The peace summit on cybertron begins and after some time begins to show results when the decepticons attack.  The main autobots, now including perceptor, blurr, lancer and silverbolt, begin to push the cons back, but megatron then reveals that he has been upgraded into a combiner, with the mega legion forming his limbs.  He thrashes the autobots and kills the rest of the knights before retreating, his mission of sabotaging the peace talks successful.  Despite optimus’ insistence that the two races need each other, humans declare an end of contact with transformers and entertain declaring war. Megatrons sanity continues to fluctuate and he begins to think reviving unicron may be his ticket to not only destroying the humans and autoobts, but also in gaining the greatest living weapon in the universe. The other decepticons are concerned for the safety of cybertron but he disregards them, and also crushes starscreams head to “finally shut him up”. While on patrol on cybertron, bumblebee and hot rod witness a mysterious group of 5 transformers before they suddenly vanish and report it to optimus, who nots the matrix of leadership has been active of late. Simmons meets with Izabella and lennox and they attempt to track down quintessa, who is heading to the UN to rally countries to destroy unicron.  Optimus then arrives and, along with testimony from simmons, izzy, and lennox gives an impassioned speech about how humans and transformers must work together.  The UN are more or less swayed, though quintessa attempts to discredit optimus but fails, with optimus realizing who she is but is warned that confronting her there would undo all he has done. On cybertron, megatron, slipstream  and sixshot infiltrate iacon to steal quintessas staff, which megatron intends to use to revive unicron.  They get the staff and sixshot kills crosshairs while megatron beats bumblebee to within an inch of his life.  Preceptor and others save bee, though he will need to be reformatted to survive.  On earth, at one of unicrons horns, quintessa is confronted by optimus, simmons, izzy and their transformer companions.  As unicron begins to react to optimus’ presence, a portal appears and an ancient looking bot comes through it. He seizes the panicked quintessa and disappears as optimus fights off more of unicrons beasts.  Megatron has made his way down through the earth and arrives at its/unicrons core, and actives the staff, seemingly reviving unicron. Massive earthquakes begin to spread globally as unicron awakens. Optimus returns to cybertron and is greeted by a rebuilt bumblebee(now with a mouth and larger body build).  He discovers the mystery transformers, who revel that they (vector, nexus, solus, micronus, onyx) and quintessa, who has been returned to normal and regular transformers size, are the last of the 13 original primes.  They tell him how when the universe was young, primus and unicron were godly beings who battled until they rendered each other comatose, and both took on planetoid forms.  The earth formed around unicron while primus became cybertron and died while transferring his remaining life-force into a single vessel, the allspark, which birthed the 13 original primes.  The 13 then used the allspark to create a race in their own image, the transformers, after which they split up; 7 remained to govern cybertron while the other 6 split up to explore the universe. Eventually one of their brothers betrayed the others on cybertron, and the other felt their deaths.  Quintessa arrogantly returned to cybertron after the war, believing she was the last prime and could rule their race like a god. The decepticons army relocates to earth at Stonehenge, which becomes unicrons maw.  One of the primes, who is able to see the future, expresses that earth and cybertron will either die or thrive together based on the current events.  The primes, including a repentant quintessa, merge their lifeforces, becoming a pure all spark energy source that further fragments cybertron and forces them into the earth, which has begun to break apart, with the fragments of both worlds now forming a new one, but it will not hold if unicron is not stopped.   Optimus, armed with the matrix, whose allspark energy is the only power that can stop unicron, leads the autobots to earth. At stonehenge, a huge battle erupts between the autobots/humans and decepticons.  After a long duel, bee finally kills his rival barricade, hound, hot rod and drift avenge crosshairs by killing sixshot and Optimus takes on combiner megatron.  He eventually destroys his combiner limbs and casts him into unicrons maw.  Before following himself, optimus hugs bumblebee goodbye and charges him with leading the autobots if he doesn’t return.  Descending into the earths bowels, optimus reaches the massive chamber that is unicrons core, but megatron, even more maddened, attacks again and they enter a fierce battle, which allows unicron the time to awaken.  On the surface, unicron creates more beasts from his form, which begin killing everyone, forcing the remaining decepticons and autobots to fight together for survival. Despite megatron getting the upper hand, optimus goes into a battle rage, vengefully calling out the names of all the autobots that he has lost because of megatron before stabbing his nemesis through the spark. A dying megatron muses at the idea that the two will die together before he perishes. As unicrons energy reaches out to kill him, optimus uses the matrix, which draws the allspark energy of the primes from around the planet to it which obliterates unicron from within, with the disintegration of his beasts and horns indicating his death.  It is then indicated that the allspark energy has replaced unicron as the new planets(dubbed cyber-earth) core. The bots and cons make peace and bumblebee finds the matrix on the ground and is accepted as the first leader of the united transformers. At the UN, a commemoration ceremony for the newly formed planet and unity between the races takes place and bee gives a speech about the brotherhood between transformers and humans.  From a distance, an alive optimus watches with pride and leaves, narrating that should evil ever rise to threaten the new world, he would return, and always would “until that day, ‘till all are one”. The End
