I'm again thinking about Miko and Megatron being platonic soulmates, and just the absolute sheer tragedy of it all gets to me man.
As in my mind the mark/the name doesn't appear until someone's soulmate is born, so for most of Megatron's life he didn't have one. All of society would ostracize him for his lack of a mark, believing the mech to be sparkless or that the universe deemed him not worthy of a soulmate. All until he met Optimus, he was the first bot to ever not treat him differently and actually form a close friendship with. Well of course until the council happened and the two broke apart.
All of this heartache and rejection would be internalized inside of Megatron, making him believe no one would ever (romantically or platonically) love him, and if they could he was simply not worthy of it. This makes him so bitter and angry towards the world, making all his issues soooo much worse.
Then suddenly millions of years later he gets a mark, he did have a soulmate; someone did want him! Someone could love him, and….. this would break him. As by this point Megatron is too far gone now, he's simply caused too much harm but yet, he's still far too selfish to let go. He scours the enite galaxy searching utterly desperate for his soulmate but would have no luck finding them, that is until he comes to the planet Earth. Here Megatron would find the one person he has longed for most is a “small pathetic organic,” an Autobot one at that. His pride would be ripping him up from the inside out as he battles with his convictions.
It's no picnic for Miko either; all her life she has had “Megatron” to comfort her. It was her constant reminder that no matter how out of place and suffocated she felt in her home there was someone out there that would understand her, let her be herself. And with a name like “Megatron” her soulmate was bound to be a cool alternative human that would just click with her. Right?
No, instead what she got was a violent possessive skyscraper tall war criminal that snorted robot space Satan crack! One that viewed her species as mere insects to be crushed beneath his feet and would kill all her friends at any opportunity he could.
Even if they could reconcile their differences it still wouldn't change the fact that Miko has such a short lifespan compared to Megatron's that it barely reaches one cybertronian year. So just when Megatron finally gets to meet his soulmate, his literal other half, she'll soon be ripped away from him and there is nothing he can do about it.
All of you need to listen to me, imagine the tragedy of it all!
