Michael Bay: "We were brothers once!"

Megatron: "Once"

In tfp we saw megatron’s initial motivation as ending the caste system and creating a more just society, so it’s not far fetched to see a megatron that regained sight of his original vision and realized the error of his ways

Bayverse Optimus: i ain't buying this, give me your head

[moro]

"Don't leave me sound wave"

"As you command lord Megatron"

-years latter

"Don't make this personal sound wave"

"It already was"

Megatron's face-turn in the IDW comics was a groundbreaking idea that Hasbro wanted to try something new. It ended up being a genuine transformation of his character, not only did it last until the final issues of "More Than Meets The Eye" and "Lost Light" which ended the series, but it worked. It's nice to see the idea expanded into other universes of the franchise.

Let´s be real, the only reason Megatron is a good guy in this show is because of how much people liked the same concept in IDW´s MTMTE and Lost Light. Me included.

Even Megatron learns what happen to there home world. And got help by his old friends Optimus Prime and Elita-One.

Megatron: i'm good now
Tarn: whistle death*

[dmitrykhvostik]

Megatron: *creates a Black Ops squad whose purpose is hunt down decepticon traitors and torture them so hard that the others will think twice about defection

Also Megatron: I'm a good guy now.

[KamataArushi]

Megatron is now an autobot.

I guess starscream is the new leader of the decepticons

I really like that the creators of TFE made Megatron a good guy. We've seen him be a terrifying warlord many a times in many different forms of TF media. This change of pace is very much appreciated and is an interesting twist. I suspected that Dot was the main reason for his change in character due to her compassionate nature, and I just think it's really wholesome that a once dangerous warlord was able to form a strong friendship with a human. Dot and Megatron's friendship is absolutely adorable!

I like that Megatron's badass personality wasn't completely diminished once he sided with the Autobots. You can still see undertones of it whenever he fights rogue Decepticons that choose to cause trouble or other villains. Transformers Earthspark does a good job showing that Autobots and Decepticons can live in peace. It's just all up to the individual and how they choose to live their life. I really hope we see Megatron and Starscream interact in the new batch of episodes whenever they're released. 🙏🏾

This gets explained well in a later episode, but basically his war mongering got the better of his cause, he was a working class boy forcing to become a gladiator by the government till he formed his Decepticons and overthrew the classist government, hence why he says to Shockwave “class?! You have learned nothing!”.
He had gotten so caught up in the war and in victory he forgot WHY he was fighting, a better life for everyone cybertronian, Dorothy presumably found him abusing his men at some point while he possibly had her captured and criticised him for hurting those he fights for.
A lot of speculation but he says Dorothy had more care for cybertronian life than he did and that’s why he changed sides, he became the very thing he swore to destroy.
Basically James Roberts take on the character but with a human for his change of heart.

[Brandon-McFadden.]

I don't mind Megatron being a good guy as long as it works for the story and version of the character, like I couldn’t see BW or Animated Megatron being good.

[mc-maitrixgaming]

This is the megatron that saw how far he had strayed from his original goal and realised that moral high ground had switched sides

[KylanHarv]

Somewhere in the dark, BM Megatron is screaming...

[mateiolteanu]

I'm happy that earthspark did Megatron like this, after all, he did become an autobot in the comics.

So far, we have 3 good-guy Megatrons:
1. IDW (in Chaos Theory, MTMTE and Lost light)
2. Shattered Glass
3. This series

[StarshadowStudiosRS]

He had a pefect REFORMED VILLAIN than the IDW comics

[Delzord]

Do you think Megatron works as a 'good guy' in Transformers Earthspark or should he always be a villain?

[delegend]

We all agree that optimus smile is demonic right?
