@@christopherpeelerii9700 That is true, but the game provides way too rich of a Lore that it kinda places TFP in an awkward spot though. Dinobots, Combaticons, Metroplex, hell do you guys even notice that the keys to the Omega Lock actually is a copy of the 'False' Omega key Megatron took from Zeta Prime! Which also makes it kinda awkward how Megatron in TFP doesn't recognize it being the Omega Key, since the fight after Zeta Prime was where Megatron really almost got himself killed by Omega Supreme.

The way I see it, Trypticon has been in stasis for so long he probably forgot his name, because I can guarantee you if Hasbro’s higher ups let the writers have a little more time to cook this could’ve been a thing with Trypticon also trying to restore his T-Cog and get back at Megatron for basically paralyzing him for his failure.

This reminds me, in a Transformers Prime Crossover Fanfic the author added that the reason why Nemesis/Trypticon is so single-mindedly focused on finding those artifacts (after putting all the inhabitants of the ship into stasis), is he hopes one of them can fix his T-cog or at least have him regain his ability to transform again.

[@desertsandfly2277]

Context: In the transformers video game War for Cybertron, Trypticon was defeated and captured by the autobots. Later on in the sequel, fall of Cybertron, Megatron "saves" Trypticon. But Megatron reminds him of his failure to destroy the autobots, so Megatron only "saved" him just to have him forcefully transformed against his will into the Nemesis warship. Which Soundwave comments that the transformation is permanent because Trypticon's T-cog was destroyed. As for why Megatron doesn't recognize Trypticon in Prime, that's mostly a writing issue since there's a ton of inconstancy and contradiction in the aligned continuity.
