    There's also the fact Beast Wars has it's own Megatron:

    The dino Megatron is just a dude who named himself Megatron

    I think Megatron was like "Oh no, human child... it's 2007 all over again!" That's why he freezes in terror. :D

    Oh man. That took me back to the good ol’ days.

    What I’d give to see a Transformers movie that forgets 4 and 5, and follows 3 with the same vibes as the trilogy...

    I do actually feel nostalgia even if it was only 11 years ago. While I love modern toys, I'd say 10 years ago was the golden age for Transformers media- when we were getting Summer blockbusters, good cartoons, and decent video games.

    That feeling of knowing you're right when a bunch of other people are in the wrong, because they don't realize precisely what the point you're making is that they're misunderstanding, nor why. And no matter what you say or how you explain it, they've already made up their minds and won't budge on the issue. It's quite frustrating, and not worth the effort to keep arguing. So I'll just leave it at that.

    Any direct quotes, responses, or references to this will be promptly ignored, or skimmed past, for the sanity of us all.

    Nothing wrong with admitting you can be wrong, dude
    Like is it everyone else's fault for interpreting your point this way or your fault for not wording it properly? Cause I don't see how else this can be taken

    I saw this advert on TV the other day.
    Found it rather odd tbh.

    ROTF Megs was easily his best design. The tank tread feet, hunched posture, and especially the death claw on his right hand just makes for a very striking and asymmetrical robot design.

    As poor as movie Megs is, I can easily say his tank design was leaps and bounds better than his 2007 design. If he had more of a character, I'd honestly be a lot more invested into him (or any of the movie characters really).

    One of these would've been a much better pre-ROTF body for him. Just slap a fusion cannon on him, maybe another color other than just silver, like black, and make his head look a bit more like he's wearing a helmet and... bam.

    I like that it’s a little boy who loves robots and is ‘collecting’ them In the same place to watch on his tv. The reveal of the prosthetic leg at the end gives is even more insight into why he is so fond of them. They give him confidence because they are strong and that’s a good message for kids who are different.

    You could well argue the story told in the advert has more character development and makes a whole lot more sense that the actual ROTF movie...
