In zigging where others expected it to zag, EarthSpark stands out as one of the more interesting takes on the Transformers mythos. And what makes it stand out is that Optimus immediately corrects himself, as well as the matter-of-fact way in which Nightshade talks about themselves. When Optiums inquires about the nature of their gender, they say that they prefer they/them pronouns - making them the first nonbinary character in the Transformers franchise. In the two-part midseason finale "Age of Evolution," three new Transformers are born - including Nightshade ( Z Infantante). This single line of dialogue shows that Optimus' ideals have sunk deep into Megatron's heart, and changed him for the better.Īnd the series is also willing to step outside the established boundaries when it comes to gender. "Optimus, this isn't freedom," he says upon learning of the Decepticons' conditions. While the Megatron of old would have left them to their fate or even killed them himself, this Megatron is willing to advocate for better treatment. Megatron has one of the most emotional moments in EarthSpark when he learns that the paramilitary organization GHOST, who has been working with the Autobots, has been utilizing less-than-ideal methods to contain Decepticon prisoners. And Megatron seems to have actually changed for the better: he greets Dot like an old friend and seems actually friendly. Yes, there is a Transformers series where Megatron and Optimus Prime are working on the same side. Finally, he expressed remorse for his actions thereby reverting, in his spark, to a Maximal.ġ Credit and thanks to Jared for this suggestion.Ģ With thanks to phantom42 for this suggestion.Perhaps the biggest change the series makes is in the Autobots' newest member: Megatron ( Rory McCann). Though he was initially reprogrammed by Megatron to be a Vehicon, Tankor somewhat embraced it for a while (after regaining his Rhinox memories). Tankor (Vehicon) was revealed to be Rhinox (Maximal). Strictly speaking, Sentinel Prime did not actually join the Decepticons (including getting the purple badge) but he did ally himself with them and even assumed command of them (see above quote).Īnd an honorary mention should go to this character from Beast Wars/Beast Machines (spoilers for Beast Machines) 2 Sentinel usurps Megatron and assumes command of the Decepticons to oversee the final phase of the plan in Chicago. He demands the exile of the Autobots, who are apparently destroyed while leaving the planet in their space ship. After teleporting hundreds of Decepticons to Earth, he has a confrontation with Optimus, but spares him, in the hope that he would recognize the moral of what he was doing. betrays the Autobots, kills Ironhide, transports the pillars to Washington D.C. Once he arrived back at their base, Sentinel. the first Decepticon and the true founder and leader of the Decepticons (as Megatron accepts the Fallen as his master), and all future Decepticons would wear an insignia which is similar to the Fallen's face.Īnd from Transformers: Dark of the Moon (spoilers) It did look more saturated as well Maybe Soundwave was originally planned to be the leader of Decepticons since his toy was bigger than most of the others and had built in minions before changing to Megatron. The Maximals are the Autobots counterparts in the animated series 'Beast Wars,' and 'Rise of the Beasts' has the two groups fighting alongside each other. ago Or blackmailing them G1 toy actually like the very first one. He is typically described as one of the thirteen original Primes who then went on to become the founder of the Decepticons.įor example, in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the Fallen is described as: ThePhilthy1 I 100 read that in Soundwaves voice. The character called The Fallen has occurred in multiple Transformers universes. Wheeljack hence left his large scarred Autobot symbol (ironically looking like it had been crossed out) on his robot chest/car bonnet and put a new, smaller, Decepticon symbol underneath. But it was Megatron who saved him that day, and in return, Wheeljack became a Decepticon. ![]() Meanwhile, Wheeljack saw a figure approaching through the flames, thinking that at last, Hot Shot had returned. An arrogant Autobot officer forbade Hot Shot from returning, claiming the fire was too intense and they couldn't risk more lives. Hot Shot could not lift the wreckage alone, and left to get some help, promising to return, but he never did. However, that friendship was broken one day when Wheeljack was trapped under rubble in the middle of an intense fire. ![]() Wheeljack was once an Autobot in the same military unit as Hot Shot, looking up to his peer due to his own inexperience in battle, and they considered each other good friends. There are three Autobots who became Decepticons that I can think of:
