Earlier I was thinking about how Megatron seems to have a lot of potential “parental” figures/creators, so I ended up making a chart of all the ones I could remember, with the order being based on canonicity
I mean, I suppose technically Sentinel and Liege should be switched in that regard, given Bayverse is definitely more known than the G2 comics, but I also only remembered Sentinel later and added him out of obligation, so whatever. They’re of similar status anyways, only being canon in one thing
Honestly, when I had the original thought I figured he had more, but I guess not. Granted, he could have more in other continuities I don’t know about, and I’m also not sure where someone like Megazarak or even Galvatron would fit into this either. But five’s still plenty
Also another thought, while I know Terminus is definitely the most popular one to make Megatron’s parental figure, I don’t know who’s second place. I would assume Termagax since it’s not like people don’t use IDW2 stuff, given Codexa’s prominence, but I also don’t think I see too much of her. I feel like I’ve seen more for Megatronus (usually also paired with Prima), but that’s also usually TF One specific, aka one of the newest big things, so that might be recency bias. Also potentially my own bias because for my AU I used Megatronus and Liege Maximo (and also Terminus later but less so)
But yeah, I don’t really know why I made this, but I did, so take this observation
