#we're probably to some degree supposed to compare Tarn to villains like Deathstroke and Bane

Noooop because I have a strangely specific view of what Tarn would be like in Earthspark from the pov of like. Thinking about this realistically as hell.

To me, I feel like he's top tier looming in the background (for now) Big Bad Evil Guy™️ of the season energy. I feel like the music motif would be increased?? I have so many ideas for scenes in my head that are all indescribable in words because of course they are of course they are.

Give this motherfucker more mob boss energy, like he had in the Grindcore scenes. Sure the stuff regarding earthspark Tarn wouldn't be as outright dark as it is in the comics, but I think they can quite fairly display how he operates. I know people have opinions about Cyberverse Tarn, but I really liked how Tarn kept throwing Perfect Decepticons at the main cast to wear them down bit by bit in order to get them to bend to his will, like Cyberverse Tarn was all too willing to replicate the gladiatorial pits just for his own sake.

I really do feel like an earthspark Tarn would be down to use former GHOST agents or otherwise humans as pawns, and this would have. So many consequences. I also feel like he'd use the promise of "getting rid of" the cybertronian presence on Earth as a motivator for them, as well as good old fashion threatening??
