You mean Prowl will evil douch bag self but not in your face and blatant more discreet in his logic.

 

Overlord has way too big an ego to be an effective leader. Hes worse then SS and thats saying something.

Its all about how strong he is compared to other bots and I think hes so crazy that in terms of universal domination it just wouldnt work.

Im sure he could think he could do it but I dont think he could.

Id like Tarn to lead but again I dont think he can either.

I could be very wrong about that though.

 

Pretty Much. I don't like this in your face Prowl. I like the cold and calculating yet self serving Prowl.

 

Same here. What is good is a mastermind if it is in your face?

 

Exactly.

Unless Prowl become as charismatic as Lelouch vi Britannia.

 

Ah but there is only one Lelouch and currently there is no C2 to give Prowl the power of Geas.

 

I agree with all of your Choices for replacing Megatron except Overlord. He's a brute, but doesn't seem to be leader material in the IDW verse.

I think having a whole sub story line of a new leader of the Decepticons emerging would be so interesting to explore.

How would this affect Megatron? How would Starscream respond? What danger will this pose to the Lost Light when The DJD decides to hunt Megatron down.

I have to say, I'm very excited to see where this will lead, but none of that can develop if Megatron returns to the ranks of the Decepticons.

I agree as well. I think we'll see the Prowl we've all come to love in the coming months. He's probably going to go out on his own, and plot some great Havoc. I don't believe for a second his relationship with the constructicons is over yet, and we may still see a return of Prowlastator. I'm looking forward to seeing what mayhem his character will unleash.

 

That story's being done right now. In a couple of places!

 

That's, true with Galvatron on Earth, and seeing the DJD a few comics back in MTMTE. However, I feel my point is we're just seeing the beggining of that. I think to be more clear is I'm looking forward to that plot developing more. It's still very unclear who that new leader is going to be, and it's going to be fun reading how the writers get there.

 

I think it's very clearly Galvatron. Soundwave is the one with a plan but he's letting Galvatron take the lead. As for Tarn, I doubt he's ever going to be seen outside of MTMTE, where the Decepticons have a very limited presence.

 

I think Galvatron might be the leader of the Decepticons on Earth in the formerly known as RID comic, but not without contention. We may yet be surprised, and I'm not ruling out another character other than Soundwave usurping Galvatron. Maybe even Prowl.

However, to get back on point, this thread was formed to focus more on Megatron's path and the direction of the More Than Meets the eye comic, and the stories arising from that. So, I actually am more interested in what the rest of the Decepticons around the Universe are doing post Megatron. And, I think Tarn and the DJD will in fact be playing a bigger role in that comic.

 

Introducing the Transformers equivalent of C.C and we're good.

I want to believe that....but right now he's a fucking mess.

 

Prowl will never be a Decepticon. He hates them too much. One of reasons for Prowl's downfall is how badly he hates Cons.
Also looks like this entire Prowlastator idea is finally closed. It was interesting for a brief moment, but otherwise should never lasted that long.

I also don't expect Tarn to ever show outside of MTME, also he's not a canon character, so looking at present players it's just Galvatron and Deathsaurus who could be leading Cons. Scorponok is missing, Shockwave's pressumably dead, Gigatron looks like he might be dead as well. Overlord's just an overpowered primitive thug with no deeper thoughs and no interest in leading anyone.

 

I've always hated that idea of Prowl joining the Decepticons; it makes no sense with how he's been characterized. Does everyone who's not a complete "good guy" need to become a Decepticon?

 

More I see it Prowl becoming a part of a new faction that still hates the Decepticons and thinks Autobots are wussies. Or even join Elita 1's group Prowl is still on Cybertron with Rattrap.

 

What do you mean by Tarn is not a canon character?

I hate this idea as well. Why can't we have douchey Autobots and nice guy Decepticons?

See now this would work.

 

It means he's a character created only for MTME, not having the same canonical presence in TF like Galvatron or Deathsaurus have since G1. If someone is to replace Megatron, it should be a character with a long presence in TF. There are few "canonical" decepticon commanders around, but Tarn ain't the one.
Plus... MTME doesn't look like it had any impact on the rest of the 'verse. Anyone even commented on Tyrest's killswitch outside of MTME? That was a pretty important thing in-universe, but went completely quiet outside of MTME.
Which was actually quite weird...

 

It'll eventually come into play sooner or later.

There are a lot of plot elements that will come back at some point. we just gotta be patient.

 

I doubt Prowl will become a Decepticon and there are few Decepticons alive, that have been established in IDW, who'd want to take command from Galvatron and none who'd be able to do so, outside of MTMTE, which as I said before, never really has any effect on the rest of the IDW universe.
