#some place with Transformers where there’s shockingly no knowledge of the Decepticon leader

[quibbs126]

Also for some reason I find myself interested in the idea of a Megatron amnesia arc. Not like, in TF One, there’d be no time or point to it as far as the story goes so far, but just in a future series or something

I don’t really know why, I think I heard something about that happening in the Marvel comics with Megatron, I think to explain his reappearance after having been killed off prior (which also sounded interesting with him having killed Optimus but then going mad and being convinced Optimus was still alive and just plotting, which eventually led to his “death” from a point blank explosion of a space bridge)

But the idea intrigues me, and I feel like there’s a number of ways you could spin that premise

One of the ones in my mind is the specific scenario I cooked up one time where Megatron was a reprogrammed former Autobot, and with the amnesia he reverts back to his original self with no knowledge of Megatron. This could lead to the Autobots figuring out what happened to that friend and I’m not sure whether it would have him reverting back to Megatron, staying his former Autobot self and getting rid of “Megatron”, or him getting back both memories and maybe staying with the Autobots with these unlocked memories (but still calling himself Megatron since that’s who he is now)

I don’t really know in general if this would end with Megatron going back to being his normal evil self again, maybe with new forces he recruited during his amnesia (like maybe during this time he basically unintentionally repeated his original rise to power? Or something else idk), or maybe his amnesia just being a look of what could have been before reverting back, or if this would actually lead to Megatron being out of the picture as the Decepticon leader, whether because he never regains his memories or because he decides he’d rather stay in his new life he made

Suppose it depends on what you want to do. I think the latter ideas of it changing him would be neat, but you don’t have to do it, especially since he’s probably still a war criminal. Could just be a way to write him out of the first season to build him up again by the finale, since that seems to be a thing that happens in the shows sometimes

But I don’t know, I like the idea of it. For some reason

I don’t know, does any of this make sense?
