An Earthspark Megatron slander animatic #Transformers #EarthSpark #Megatron

these frames. . . god that‘s REALLY good 😭 megatron sees screamers eyes as red through the purple (color of decepticon logo) but they‘re actually blue ☹️ he‘s kind now but megatron only sees him as he was due to what faction he‘s in stoppsp you‘re so smart im going to cry

YOU GOT IT! Megatron (and the writers) sees Starscream as the ultimate evil, someone who has committed horrific atrocities, while Megatron gets to forget everything HE did because “he’s on the good side now”

sobs i absolutely hate how the writers handled this, after s1 especially. new espark writers go fuck yourselves

Honestly even after Megatron’s “redemption” I would’ve expected Elita to not trust him at all, like Prowl but dialed to 11. She strikes me as a character that if you loose her trust, you ain’t getting it back. But no she trusts him as much as Optimus does which is crazy to me.

Right? I feel like more characters should have a problem with him, I don’t think I’d ever forgive and be buddy buddy with someone who was responsible for the death and suffering of so many of my friends

ur framing & storytelling is so well done. the contrast between Megs' happy life while everyone else suffers... oughh the injustice. the injustice... Starscream's character in Earthspark especially has always fucked w me so deeply. "nowhere is safe if it's with you" OUGH

Yeah! Why mega should find peace but still abandonce his whole faction n play house with Op n the terrans! (Like yeah yeah good that hes good now but im still so mad st him)

Writers logic is that he gets to be the good guy and have a statue in his honor and everything, but fuck everybody else though

Like i don't mind he turning good n working his way to gsin trust, but he does nothing to help the group HE draged to a war for HIM it's jus "nooo stop this is wrong" or "We have to change" BRO DOO SOMETHING THIS MANIAC U LEAD R OUTCONTROL!!!!

EXACTLY, he just suddenly went “wait this is wrong, yall are fucking evil idiots”, YOU MADE THEM THIS WAY???

I don't think he made em evil even so, after all they are here for a reason, but, he LIE TO THEM n even if Star got the worst of the treatment Shock n Sound don't think were also exent, THEN YOU LEAVE THEM???? No trying to help em????? You give up on them on the spot! THE FUCK??

this animatic is peak(also crane wives mentioned ?!?) I heart ES Megs but it also kills me how everything he did is hand-waved cause redeemed(?) Him seeing Starscream through the cell as having red eyes!ough. Wish the show didn’t reinforce Megatron’s view of Starscream S2 T-T

GOSH THIS IS SO GOOD The lack of repercussions Megatron faced for the years of destruction, famine & death he STARTED and KEPT UP was so baffling. The injustice of each cons he betrayed after leading them on for so long.... how he views Starscream as evil despite that... OUGH

I honestly wish ES would actually acknowledge that Megs was in the wrong and that he needs to fix things and not just by joining the Autobots.

ES truly asks the question: what if every decepticon had the idw mega+tarn dynamic where after he defects, throws everybody he molded and warped for his gain to the winds and the story just lowkey ignores it bc hes yayy redeemed. and if you want revenge ur worse than him actually

I feel like starscream's eyes being blue when we see him in the cage and red when we see them through the force field keeping him trapped is probably saying something about how Megatron is trying to create a new identity for himself and allow himself to ignore the betrayal...

I know he is gonna betray them in season 4 but can't prove it

@amriatherat Don’t think the writers have the balls tbh

You're art is great also peak mentioned (Crane Wives)

IM GONNA WXPLODE

I cried

no literally, like i like him until i stare at him too long like 🤨

PEEEEEAAAAKKKKK

Hay muchas cosas que pasan fuera de pantalla, hubiera sido bueno ver algo de tensión entre megatron y el equipo prime después de que se volvió aliado, prime obviamente ayudando a que sus amigos confien en megatron y megatron tratando de adaptarse a este equipo.

TRANSFORMERS AND CRANE WIVES OH MY GISHHHH

Damn, thanks for posting this animatic. It is a masterpiece in story telling

FUUUUCK YES

They started a whole war, killing lots of bots, destroys their whole planet, nearly renders their entire species extinct... All because two guys had a disagreement... Now they are like together again and are beasties again??? I love ES Megs, but come on!!!

THIS IS SO GOOD

PEAK!!!!!!!

Ugh I agree with the slander but selling up/down the river came from white enslavers selling enslaved black men to a fate worse than death so it really bothers me to see it used for a cartoon. Did you not have any other betrayal songs in mind?
