Free my man he did do all that but I don’t car
Part of why I like earthspark megatron to be kinda evil and fucked up aside from it being sexy is because he is kinda messed up in canon methinks…imagine being a violent cruel and tyrannical warlord for millions of years manipulating, intimidating (maybe grooming? But I hesitate to use this word cus I don’t mean it in a sexual context idk fuck my English), instilling legions of your followers with deception agenda, molding them with your own hands into the callous, cynical, misanthropic people they are now, only to suddenly regret what you did and immediately turn your backs to them and essentially have all your sins pardoned by the enemy leader and be treated like a noble hero by the narrative, all while you hunt down the very followers who you have personally shaped into your perfect loyal unwaveringly decepticon soldiers.
Decepticons are thrown into cells by the same hands who beckoned, guided and shaped them into the villains they are now and the owner of said hands get to roam freely, celebrated with a statue and be loved and supported by his ex enemies he had raised decepticons to eliminate and basically face no serious consequences….no wonder decpticons hate his ass that’s so unfair
Earthspark megatron’s assholeness in this regard is the other reason why I like seeing content depicting him being twisted and dubious and unsettling, even better when Optimus is also shown to be morally dubious cus of him endorsing megatron…go my morally questionable to reprehensible earthspark megop they will never make me hate you.
