Anyone else notice that Megatron's actually being a good leader in this episode? He's trying to keep the Insecticons from getting killed by the insecticide and ordered Starscream to not shoot the plant because they didn't know what would happen.

[@joseespinosa6167]

Still...he's a Republican.

[@blastvortex]

Barely. Megs wouldn't be swindling the Insecticons if he really was. This is why his plans ultimately fail. Screwing over your allies will inevitably result in a swift kick to your metallic pants. Also, this falls under what I call the Type 1 or 2 Rule. Megatron says be careful, Starscream says just do it... or visa versa: Starscream says be careful, Megatron says they're gonna do it anyway.

Ironically Megatron wasn't lying to them for once. He did go there to destroy the insecticide, & while he thought they were to help those dolts they were their out of mistrust of Megatron. Of course given it is Megatron we're talkin about mistrusting him is usually the safest assumption. He isn't called a Decepticon for his honesty after all.

[@BlueBomberTurbo]

Pretty sure blowing up the insecticide was an on the spot decision. Earlier in the episode, he said he wanted to obtain it, for use in the future. IE for when the Insecticons become no use to him anymore.

[@shiindaisuke3159]

@@BlueBomberTurbo Yea, but he still wasn't lying. He just changed his mind midway, & as far as they knew that was his intention, but you're not wrong there. Lol Also the not lying part purely referred to Megatron's message of danger to the Insecticons being on the other side, so considering the insecticide was there he didn't lie. He just omitted certain details, & it's Megatron we're talkin about, so he'd never willingly let the Autobots have such a weapon to use on his forces. It's a safe bet to assume he thought that losing the insecticide would be a possibility.

Never actually watched an episode of OG Transformers. I've watched BW, Prime, Animated, read the IDW comics....watched the Bayformers films and watched the original animated film about 10 times. This was actually good.

[@joseespinosa6167]

It's an acquired taste.

[@blastvortex]

I've actually never been able to stomach Prime or Animated precisely because I was raised on old school ("real") animation, like these, despite the loads of mistakes. It made the Bay films gut wrenching, but watchable in a standalone sense kind of universe, despite how fugly I still think they made the Transformers look (and how certain actors or lack of cohesive team sets sucked the life and authenticity out of many scenes, but I suppose I shouldn't go there right now...). Prime and Animated? Couldn't get past the outlandish redesigns. That's an acquired taste of its own. I suppose Robots in Disguise probably bridges all gaps, but nobody seems to remember that series. Kinda weird, but at least it looked pretty damn fine. Not commenting on BW. I don't really qualify what still counts as part of the original series, and also somewhere in the gap but appealing to both regardless of how primative. Not commenting on BM because... oh, wait. That didn't really happen. Yeah, I forgot that never happened. G'bye.
