>>121442571>Megatron *was* in exile for the entire fucking run of that comic, he literally never set foot on Earth or Cybertron again, the comic is just following the boat he exiled himself onto.It's all just an overly complicated plot of saying "even Megatron can be a good guy" which defeats the whole purpose. If Autobots and Decepticons ARE supposed to be more nuanced than they were in the G1 cartoon, like they supposedly were in IDW, there should be no black and white idea of which side is good or evil. Megatron becoming an Autobot in the end is some stupid shit, you can talk about how things changed with him, Autobots, or how he viewed them, whatever, it still is cheesy fanfic tier crap. Megatron if ever giving up, shouldn't have this shining moment of becoming friends with the "good guys", it should simply be realizing his fight is done, but without giving up what he believed in, because once again if it is a more nuanced take, what he believes in has more purpose than that.
>>He thinks Megatron just fucking off at the end of Prime was a good thingYes, not great, TF Prime wasn't a perfect series and I never said it was just because I love some characters from it, but it was better in that regard, it at least didn't weaken Megatron and turn him into another character for a heartwarming conclusion.
>You mean the transformation that happens offscreen? Because Galvatron goes from 'basically just Megatron with a new design and voice actor' in the movie to 'babbling lunatic who makes pre-Movie Megatron's worst moments look like strategic genius by comparison' completely offscreen. There's no deterioration, there's just a switch flipped and now the cartoon's main badguy is a joke who literally defeats himself half the time.Yes, he gets thrown across space into a lava pit or whatever the fuck it was that drove him insane. It's silly like everything else in G1 and it was just fine, it didn't have to pander to millennial and gen z adults and could just be fun.
