I still love how despite the surface level differences in his character writing... ...his core characteristics, like deriving pleasure from inflicting pain, suffering, or humiliation on others, are still present as they were in IDW It's kind of impressive how one of the most gruesome Transformers characters in the franchise, being adapted into a show meant for younger audiences, can be so faithful to the source material

"I have not betrayed... I have deceived." - Unironically one of the *best* lines ever spoken by a Decepticon in any Transformers fiction.

[@CasualNickname]

Your jaw completely drops as he makes it clear how thoroughly they’ve just been bamboozled.

[@mattshinde3614]

It's also worth noting that Tarn actually DOESN'T really tell any outright lies when he convinces the Autobots and Decepticons to help him claim the Cortex Helm. He IS a super-Decepticon that somehow gained independence from Megatron X's design, he IS concerned about his fellow super-soldiers fighting each other mindlessly (and probably causing tons of collateral damage if this wasn't a kids' show), and he DOES want to use the Cortex Helm to put a stop to this by eliminating their dominance programming. He just leaves out the part where he intends to also use said Helm to make them loyal to himself and then restart the Great War.

[@FelixMorales-x2g]

Tarn saying he’s the “leader of all decepticons” is actually convincing

As Brainstorm pointed out, the alternate version of them acted differently, with really poor judgments that led to a bad ending, like Rodimus got killed early into journey.

If Tarn and the DJD had kills that had actual long lasting impact then their hype would make sense. But at the end of the story the only actual kill Tarn committed was, ripping Ravage apart. Heck the most interesting aspect of Tarn (being roller) was proven wrong and instead Tarn is a random character from years ago.
