To me, this is still the best live-action Megatron to date (mostly because we were robbed from the one supposed to show up in the BBM).

Yeah, his design’s super gappy and jarring to those who grew up on G1, but the fact that he terrified the Autobots just by showing up, ripped Jazz apart with barely any effort, overpowered Optimus, took an F-22 bombardment and was STILL going for the All-Spark really portrayed how much of a force of nature he was.

While I think his ROTF and DOTM designs are cleaner, I also prefer Megatron to still put up a hell of a fight by himself, and it’s just a shame he lost a lot of what made him so threatening in the first place post-2007.

Edit: I nearly forgot that Megatron slammed Optimus while he was in jet mode through an office building during the Mission City fight. At least twenty people had to have died just from that.

Let’s do something a little different. Instead of trying to repeatedly debate Mario vs Sonic, let’s see if their teamwork can overcome Goku. Both sides have their composite iterations.

This iteration of Optimus combines the violence of the Bayverse with the fatherly nature of G1. He might not be cracking jokes from time to time, and many people mistake him as lacking emotions and being boring, but his fights with Megatron after Raf got hurt and Bee got shot prove otherwise. He doesn’t enjoy the act of violence, but he also won’t shy away from doing everything he can to protect those he loves. It’s definitely one of the best portrayals of Optimus that the franchise had put out. He truly was strong enough to be gentle. The design was amazing too. It combined the mechanical detail of the Bayverse trilogy design with the smoothness of G1 beautifully. Overall, such a great Optimus.

I think the primary reason so many people are vocal of their hatred was because it was the catalyst of EMH’s cancellation. It probably would’ve been more accepted had it not been created right after EMH got axed. Besides, I enjoyed the first two seasons, and I really wish the MCU had gone with this version of Hulk as opposed to Professor Hulk within the Infinity Saga. I get that it’s not for everyone, but the hate sometimes feels a little too much.

R1: The battle’s in an ancient city. The Death Angel accidentally triggers a Skulk sensor which alerts the Warden to its location.

R2: The battle’s in an abandoned city on the surface. The Warden goes above ground after sniffing out potential prey, and accidentally knocks something over to trigger the Death Angel.

R3: a Warden’s jumped by two Death Angels.

The Fallen isn’t on here cuz he’s currently busy being brutalized by fraud allegations.
