TRANSFORMERS PRIME MEGATRON — a nameless miner who rose up to become a gladiator, revolutionary, and tyrant of Cybertron. Founder of the Decepticon Cause, Megatron will not stop until he has defeated every last enemy who stands in his way, no matter the cost.
Before interacting please be mindful of the following:
— This is an independent ask & roleplay blog for Megatron from Transformers Prime.
Megatron is canon-divergent from some of the events that were established.
— Even if you RP a character from Transformers Prime, please do not assume you or your character knows anything or everything about him or is in the same location as him unless otherwise discussed.
I treat the ask box like a commlink or video feed.
— If you or your character is talking to Megatron, please do not assume that it is face to face. My communication style is as follows:
« Commlink. »
[ txt ]: text message
“Spoken face-to-face.”
//out of character mun speak
— I am very busy outside of this blog, so please do not pester me to RP with you. Feel free to send occasional reminders, though.
— Interaction is welcome from most, but neither the muse nor myself will be inclined to respond to everyone.
— I will not subdue the violent reactions of my muse, but I will warn you if Megatron becomes violent.
— I go by Shea. I'm 30+. NSFW will be present on this blog ranging anywhere from gore to smut. Anything sexual will be behind a read more, but preferably roleplayed on sideblogs so a read more isn’t necessary as tumblr is so broken. If you’re under the age of 18, I’m probably not going to RP with you.
rambling. idk if it's fair to say if megatron was 'addicted' to dark energon as much as he was willing to abuse dark energon to exploit its power. i feel like contextually there is a difference since substance use is typically more in line with escapism (not wanting to feel certain things, controlling unwanted behaviors, basically feeling more baseline and emotionally regulated).
that isn't to say megatron doesn't have addictive behaviors, personality defects, or that dark energon use isn't fucking with his mind. i think if he was truly about winning the war, megatron would have very easily won the war. but i think another part of it is he enjoyed finding new and more fucked up ways of hurting people (and at times himself).
how megatron 'flirts': he lures them into a one on one fight. he gets them alone and trapped and unable to escape. someone wanted his attention? lets see them survive it.
ooc. logs in for the first time in months just to say a quick thing because i was plagued by a random thought.
i don't think megatron being 'addicted' to dark energon or having an addictive personality is anything to shy away from. i also don't think it takes away from his character (re: makes him a little stupid). if i could remember this blog exists (lol @ my life) i would write it more in-depth.
mostly. it's 100% okay to recognize that megatron is entirely flawed and was willing to sacrifice his sanity and his body not just to be last one standing, but to make sure everyone else felt every ounce of his hatred.
i think it speaks a lot to his barbarism and brutality and just how far he is willing to go (part of that being nuanced by how dark energon is impacting him). which, makes him pretty neat and not as silly as his eyes might look.
