#linking ES Megs with other versions of himself is valid

[cityzenshark]

Likely a hot take: I find it hard to believe ES Megatron is as tyrannical as his G1 self or any other iteration (beside Shattered Glass).

There are implications of his harsh treatments, discipline, leadership towards his own troops in the past, Decepticons hating him because of his betrayal, but that's Megs on the Cons, not Megs to planet Earth or the entirety of the war. Prowl is the only Autobot seen being distrustful of him and he was painted a bad guy for it.

One of Megatron's main traits (except Shattered Glass) throughout the franchise is his sheer hatred towards organic races. Lost Light Megs still dislike them yet he doesn't let that hate turn destructive. The irredeemable Megs though? They hate organics; they loath humans especially.

ES Megatron isn't like that. There's no way the regular Megs would want to work with humans, let alone want one in his vicinity. Perhaps he and Dot are just work friends -- formal friendship -- yet it obviously became more than that despite having not seen each other in years before the start of the show.

It's weird that people link G1 Megs and ES Megs as the same person when they're not. ES Megs is harsh, yes, but not tyrannical.
