Bonus :

The first 10 episodes of Armada look like Megatron has teenage children who constantly cannot share something

I know that in the Japanese version Optimus is called Convoy, but I'm much more accustomed to calling him Optimum Prime

Babe, wake up, people are doing drugs under TF Armada episodes!

I was imagining a shattered glass Starscream but with the goofiness of the g1 cartoon lmao

rodimags/rodimims (specifically idw is what i'm talking abt here) is such a good pairing because one the dynamic they have but also two their narratives are like. the same. they’re foils both individually and character arc wise.

like, minimus living in his brother’s shadow and rodimus in optimus’s. mims getting a new body/identity and rodimus first putting on a facade and then later changing his paint job. minimus and rodimus having trouble forming meaningful relationships because they both have to be someone they aren’t (ultra magnus and optimus, respectively).

roddy saying he didn’t want to be a prime, he wanted to be optimus prime. mims always trying to live up to first his brother’s accomplishments and then ultra magnus’s.

they also have their differences (obviously), but like any good foil their differences are anti parallels.

mims needing orders and rules to ground himself. rodimus feeling restricted by them. mims going from a nobody to a legend because of the armor, and rodimus being ignored and judged after getting the matrix. mims (as magnus primarily, but also just in general) always being second but still respected, vs rodimus being first (primehood) but disgraced.

both of them leaving cybertron together for the same reason: they can’t handle the burden their predecessors have given them. ultra magnus and optimus prime being revered figures, but minimus ambus and rodimus (no longer a prime) being nobodies, if not worse.

the personality differences and their general dynamic are already great and made me ship them, but the foils and parallels are what make them a compelling duo in all senses.

(also this post is abt idw but they're really good in everything else imo. like g1 is a chiller show but they still have such a good relationship/dynamic and they still read like foils, it's just a little more surface level bc y'know kids cartoon. )

Me when me. Me when when. When the. The. Me when the. Me. When the. When me the

Throughout the Unicron Trilogy, I loved these four dearly.

Sidegays

I haven't watched Transformers: One yet --so I can't comment on its Megatron-- but Megatron from the Micron Trilogy will always have a special place in my heart.

His tragedy is a great example of "Show, don't tell."
