More accurately, though, they were both tyrants: rulers who achieved power by force. Granted, Optimus' attainment of power was more "good", but Megatron's initial rise to power was based on overthrowing an oppressive caste system that Optimus supported, so....

Instead we got a confusing line about the end of the war from Roddimus Prime at the end of the movie followed byt a really, really badly written and animated (even by the standards of the time and especially compared to the movie) third season and an aborted fouth season (for American audiences) that make you want to forget that anything after the movie ever happened.

I even did a little fist-pump in the air when I read it. Thank you for this comic. ^_^ G1 Ironhide was the first TransFormer toy I ever had, and was my favorite out of the Autobots, so panel 5 felt… good.

In firearm terms, Prime had PLENTY of time to shoot Megatron before Hot Rod even reached him. He didn't. Prime's death is on his own incapable hands, not Hot Rod's.

Beam Piper's "Space Viking", or a couple of episodes of "Firefly" and completely unlike any episode of "G.I. JOE". When you've finally caught or cornered the evil guy, you frigging shoot the evil guy in the head. (Or boot him into your spaceship's engine intake.) You don't stop to chat, you don't take him prisoner. Shoot. In. Head. It's the only 100% certain way to ensure he'll never be a problem to anyone ever again. 'Course that makes TV executives wibble and and whine and cancel your show. Just like the ending of H.

I like this version better than what happened. Hell, I know what a noble mech Prime was...but he also USUALLY(not always) saw the bigger picture. He would have shot THROUGH Hot Rod. Sure, Hot Rod MIGHT die...but killing Megatron would help so many more people... Honestly? I like this version better than what happened.
