Optimus, his newest string of failures when he returned after his exile-return, and attempted coup of the new cybertron society, which then lead to Starscream, Shockwave using his built-in spacebridge tech, and Galvatron ripping him in half, and then Bumblebee giving him a hand of friendship and kindness - the only thing that broke through the breaking barriers of his growing insecurity finally helping him understand how wrong his ways were, and how he was being no better than those he once fought against. Bumblebee's death, sadly, was the final nail in the coffin that gave him the motive to end the cycle he'd instigated, and become what was once a sworn enemy. His upbringing was horrible, and lead him down the dark path. But his own endless string of failures following Spike assassinating him, as well as the actions of Shockwave, and Galvatron, added with the kindness and wisdom of Optimus and Bubmlebee finally made him see the light, and give up the corrupt cause that made him more of a monster than The Senate. Yet the road to redemption is long and arduous. Never as simple as one might think, as proven by the Autobots still intent on sentencing him despite his hand in stopping the Dark Cybertron prophecy. Only his quick thinking kept him from being sentenced by the biased cybertronians he's wronged over the eons. Ironic, since his journey aboard The Lost Light is what further changed him for the better. Funny how fate works, for even the most vile and wicked of beings as Megatron was.

On Necrobot's planet when he saw how many lifes he had ended he just stood in silence. He might have redeemed himself in the eyes of the crew of Lost Light, he started to care for the innocent. But till the end, he thought of himself as a monster, which resulted in him being unable to use the matrix.

@Callon49684 жыл бұрын
You got to remember that Cybertron before Megatron's rise was a Caste system where your alt mode decided whether you lived or died. If you had a powerful Alt-Mode for mining, like Megatron's was, you got sent to do dirty work, pretty much the lowest class of civilian. Many, many transformers were powerless to stop the corrupt senate that held power over them all. So, when Megatron began writing his modus operandi, people looked to him to stave the way out of hell, and into a world where everyone was created equal. And every Decepticon followed that ideology until it, too, became corrupt when Megatron lost his way, waging the war on those he deemed unfit to rule Cybertron. His new found power, essentially gifted to him by Ratbat (who sent Soundwave to spy and help Megatron) and Shockwave (who upgraded his body for the Gladiator pits), corrupted him as it grew, which, in turn, corrupted his forces. Of course, there was the occasional decepticon that realized what was happening, like Thundercracker who saved New York from a Nuke (sent by humans to kill the decepticons in All Hail Megatron), Deadlock (Drift), and Megatron himself when Bumblebee died and challenged his very ideologies, waking him up to the fact he lost his way eons ago, which put him on a path towards redemption. So, when Megatron defected, even his most loyal Decepticons were dumbfounded and hurt, particularly Soundwave, who was one of the very first to help inspire Megatron in equality for all cybertronians by showing equal respect to his cassettes. So, when Megatron rose to power, Soundwave (and in turn, the Cassettes) idolized him for fighting for equality and respect for all. This level of depth is why so many people loved the original IDW run of the Transformers comics, all the way from Infiltration in 2005 to Unicron in 2018.
@jaydonmagan46944 жыл бұрын
JT Stuard Music I think IDW’s Megatron and Soundwave are some of the best variants we’ve ever got; we see Megatron find the error in his ways and try to correct them by becoming an Autobot when others like Getaway doubted him and those like Tarn despised him for it. In Soundwave’s case, we saw his loyalty go beyond further then it ever has; he went from being one the most loyal to Megatron to being the most loyal to the Decepticon cause, eventually allying himself with the Autobots, but not joining them as to show his loyalty to the true Decepticon cause, not what it became but what it was, a beacon of peace and equality allowing him to be considered the last true Decepticon all the way till he sacrificed himself in helping to stop Unicron.

One can only imagine the thoughts that ran through his mind afterwards. And to top it all off, Megatron WANTS to be an Autobot. What a time to be alive.

Megatron was a philosopher who worked the mines of Cybertron, he wished for society to change. He was beaten and imprisoned for his words, he gained his followers and began a rebellion. The ranks of the deceptions grew, but as the battles raged on Megatron's spark became colder and he became a tyrant in place of the Senate. No longer was it about freedom but about domination. Megatron gets a happy ending, due to an explosion that duplicates the ship he was on that had both autobot and deceptions he had two lives to live. The one where he faces punishment for the atrocities he committed and his other self leaves the galaxy to explore what the unknown has to offer him. IDW may be one of the greatest comic characters ever written, it's a journey. It's absolutely a tragedy that we won't ever get another Marvel/IDW crossover where we can have this Megatron have a talk with another former villain, Magneto

Hunter The Wusky Soundwave sensing Ravage's death from across the galaxy broke me. It's such a sad scene. Ravage is one of the original Decepticons from the first line of Transformers and there's something about seeing a villain die like that that just makes you want to curl up in a ball.

DAMN... That was great. If only the films were... I can't even finish that sentence. Transformers the Movie (86) with all its imperfections, took itself so seriously in its first half. The second half had hokey moments but it was all done in context and that feature set a bar in my mind that Bayformers could never even get close to.

I never get tired of hearing this reading here. I mean you really get a depth of character in both Megatron and Ravage that make you love these characters. IDW really is doing good for the story lines for transformers. You should see about doing a reading of the final scene of the "til all are one" comics with Windblade and Starscream, I think it would pair well with this one.

@Dr Kermit the frog Jone While it's true that Megatron tore down the senate and prevented the functionists from taking over, When (Spoilers) Rewind tried to kill Megatron he argued that yeah, without megatron Cybertron is going to be doomed by the functionist council. But Without Megatron trying to take over/cyberform other planets and spreading the war to the universe, Everyone else is left alone. Billions of innocent alien races who are just minding their own business living wouldn't have to die to a war that they had nothing to do with. (See Spotlight: Cliffjumper) Without Megatron, Cybertron would lose but the universe wins. Always take a step back and look at the bigger picture.
@_Muzolf3 жыл бұрын
@@NOTDeezy. Yeah, but then it turns out, that the Functionists would do the exact same thing Nova Prime planned to do, and start expanding, conquering the universe. They just needed more time to engineer cybertronian society into the tool they wanted. Unlike Megatron, they would have had no real opposition, and all in service of creating a society far worst as any cybetronian or anyone else before them has envisioned.
@NOTDeezy.3 жыл бұрын
@@_Muzolf I actually completely forgot about that but that's because I haven't paid attention to what happened during Lost Light. So I will take your point and advance it further. I doubt that the galactic council wouldn't try to interviene if the functionists began taking over. Pretty much every other alien race ever hates cybertronians and cybertronians can't be the strongest species out there. Species like the Ammonities would have an easy fighting chance against the functionist council if they tried conquering other worlds. While it's true that most alien species will be helpless, it wouldn't mean that they won't try to fight back. I believe that a war between Cybertronians and other aliens could actually cause said other species to advance their own technology in the war at a much faster rate. The Transformers: Drift had already proven that species out there exist who imprison and enslave other species to advance their own technology and become immortal. If the Cybertronians do get stopped, what would stop other species from taking their idea of conquering the universe and finish what they have started? No answer here is truly clear cut black and white. There are so many possible outcomes and I haven't even touched on for example the idea of cybertronian colonies (Velocitron, Caminus, Eukaris, Devisuin, etc.) trying to stop the functionist council or that Maybe someone else would have taken Megatron's spot and tore down the functionists council but without causing a war. There are endless possibilities of how things could have turned out and I like exploring those more than just accepting as Megatron being the best to ever happen to Cybertronians because everything else is worse.

@@NOTDeezy. I would like to remind you that the Galactic council was formed due to the cybertronian civil war and its effects on others, so very likely they would not even exist in the functionist timeline, since until their plans came the fruition, they were heavily isolationist. Heck, even in the prime timeline, the Galactic council barely did anything of note, their best tech (the geobomb) was reverse engineered cybertronian technology. There is no reason for the existence of the galactic council in the functionist universe before cybertron starts expanding. And even if one forms then, their counterparts seeming incompetence would not fill me with hope for them in the case of a full-on cybetronian invasion of those worlds that formed it. I would not count on the Ammonites doing much either, considering their own civil war, and the fact that their main faction became the flunkies of Shockwave "the dark cyclops" for who knows what he promised them. When you are that desperate, that most of your race willingly serves a scientist from another species. That does not fill me with confidence about them. Especially since they seemed to share some easily exploitable weakness in the end. It seems unlikely that they would have been a significant factor against cybertron, if not outright a positive one for the functionists, if they can exploit them the same way Shockwave did. While i have no doubt, that in a large, potentially endless universe, there would be some powers, empires and species that could stand up to the cybetronians. This would not have stopped a functionist cybetron from building an empire of its own, and more then likely one larger as what Megatron had at the height of Decepticon power.

thank you. This has always been one of the most soul wrenching conversation among decepticons for me, the self reflection presented in MTMTE and in IDW in general is potent and earns respect for the characters. Megatron was always one of my favorite Decepticons, but as an Autobot I love him almost more because we get to see the inner workings of a person who started a revolution because he was hurting. Which is why most things like this happen to us as people in the real world.

ah, it's times like this that I wish I was with the bad guys. kind of hard to explain really, I feel their passion to be something greater and I feel only envy. They made a life for themselves, pushing onward, creating change that many despise. Some change they have good reason to despise, but in the end still leads to conflict no matter how necessary. And in these rare moments, when I get to see the bad guy down on his luck, lost, wondering if he/she were foolish in their indevers, I feel grief, for I saw them at greatness that they have found a purpose in life no matter how horrible their overall actions were, while I can't tell if I even want to get out of my bed. If I could just have this moment with Megatron, to have lost my destiny, I would gladly have it, for at least I had one.

I think the best part of Megatron’s face turn is that it was permanent. He did what so many comic villains fail to do when they turn good. Often writers will stick to the status quo to the detriment of what they had established earlier. It’s why More than Meets the Eye and Lost Light were among the best comic series of all time.
