i finished reading the 489 page transformers essay just now and i watched the first three movies over the last couple days. cinematic garbage. but it compels me
#wheeltext#megatron. i have so many thoughts about megatron.#he was frozen for thousands of years and dehumanized tortured while conscious and killed by a member of the species who tortured him.#that same person was the first person to say his name or treat him as a person in thousands years. and when he broke out the first thing he#did was claim his identity (i am megatron) continuing the conversation he overheard. and it comes out as kind of cavemanish if u take it at#face value as just a standalone statement but after unimaginable isolation and torture having someone go HES megatron. the leader of#the decepticons. was basically a peptalk. 'i am megatron' was him agreeing with that in a language it would be impossible for him to know#if he wasnt awake the whole time. also starscream likes him#starscream is always doing this like cruel toady goon voice and he says shit like oh... you're so wounded. so weak. but i think hes being#completely sincere#ok so if there are billions of transformers (sentinel says more tf than there humans) and the decepticons have won the war then most of#them are decepticons. but in the first movie only like seven guys show up to find megatron? and they just happen to find the cube as well#starscream is the sic usually so if that stays true and megatron has been missin for thousands of years hes been defacto leader for that#long. yet he seems to be part of an unpopular minority of decepticons who wanted to find megatron after hes been mia and presumed dead for#ages. then he helps resurrect him after two years two years in which he would have been the leader again#and when megatron has lost his arm and is horrifically injured starscream doesnt take him out or abandon him he says#not to call you a coward but cowards usually survive and bounces with megatron. then he corners sam (ugh) in the third movie and#ultimately dies. the first thing he says to sam is like finally... you and me. alone. like he has a personal enough vendetta against#sam to hunt specifically him down. but sam has only ever benefited him if all he wants is to lead the decepticons.#nah. hes getting revenge FOR megatron.#megatron sounds fond of starscream when he says blah you fail me me yet again instead of angry and he even jokes when he goes starwcream im#home. he does like beat starscream up a couple times but this is about starscream not wanting megatron dead.#it really really fascinated me why this starscream of all the starscreams was actually loyal to megatron and then it hit me#megatron is skyfire#he was frozen in the arctic for years and starscream has a past fondness for him. megatron is skyfire#which makes all of starscreams weedy goon lines hilarious because he's being completely sincere when he delivers them#anyway the movies are pretty racist unfunny and i hate all of the characters. megatron is goin in the blorbo quarantine kennel
