    So I enjoy making fun of Megatron and how all his grand plans can backfire on him. Like with how in BW killing Prime ends with Unicron eating Cybertron.

    In BM where he is at his most powerful I’ve made it a hobby to compile a list:

    1) Megatron is a Narcissist sooner or later he was going to find Victory is Boring. He enjoys the game, he goes crazy (well crazier) without anyone to outwit and gloat at.

    2) Alien Invasion: The drones alone would not be enough to defend Cybertron in case the Quintessons or some other hostile alien threat came knocking.

    3) Absorbing all the sparks gives him a new found sense of empathy, guilt, and remorse and he frees them to make it stop.

    4) Unicron is revived by his followers and he shows up to eat Cybertron

    5) Divine Intervention: Primus tells Megatron "No"

    6) Maintenance: there is a lot of responsibility that goes into running an entire planet. Maintaining Roads, sewer systems, and power grids, he’ll need fuel supplies for the drones, dealing with scraplet infestations...

    he’d find all this menial labor to be boring sure he can leave the actual physical labor to the drones, but he’d still find keeping an eye on all this stuff boring

    7) something like the Dweller or the Demons/Primordials get lose

    I normally don't go in on expensive non-transforming figures, but I just couldn't resist this one.

    about a Mythic Beast Wars with how they aimed for realistic beast modes in Kingdom it got me thinking: what if they designed the beast modes to look like ancient artwork like what you find on Greek pottery?

    Detolf's are a huge trap for transformers. It looks really clean now, but the awkward dimensions lead to wasted space at the top and overcrowding on the bottom.
    Clear risers will elevate your display by 10 & really show off what you have

    I'll definitely need to employ something for the MPs going forward. The four Maximals have filled the shelf already, and there are still three to go, including Rhinox, who is going to take up a big chunk of space. Airazor will probably be on a flight stand.
