Because G1 Megatron in particular is responsible for not only being one of the few cartoon villains in a lot of kids shows to actually KILL the main hero of the show, and leader of the opposite faction. (His most famous competition in movie/television media being characters like Skeletor and Darth Vader) And not only that, but he did it in one of the most brutal ways possible, during the first ever series of the franchise, in said franchises’ first ever theater movie. If you could give this game to the kids of the 80’s who were led into those theaters just to watch the literal slaughter-fest that was played, and told them they’d get to unleash retribution upon megatron by their own hands, they’d be over the moons of cybertron itself. I guess what I’m saying is that there’s a lot of villains I’d love to spend an eternity beating the hell out of. But few would be able to rival Megatron in their Punchability value.
@@terminalvelocityrunner2202I’m pretty sure he was the first to kill the main hero on screen I could be wrong but killing hero’s was considered a Taboo before the late 2000s
@@Morninglord22 there’s a running theme thru the story about how the war was based on false ideals. Nova prime in the game is based on the comics version. He is held as this scholar who promoted exploration and sharing of Cybertrons wealth, but over time the cast realized he was just an imperialist trying to take over the universe. Ultimately it’s revealed that all the forefathers the cast was trying to live up to was either not as divine as initially thought, or outright evil and rewrote history to portray themselves as benevolent. That version of Megatron surrendered when he realized he was just as corrupt as the government he overthrew, and had a nice anti-redemption arc where he realized that no matter what good he did, he will always be the greatest murderer in the history of the universe.
@@christopheraustin5915 i actually slightly disagree, cause Nova is presented in this game as actually being a good guy like the g1 cartoon autobots, who genuinely believed in his mission and had noble goals. its only after they find a suspicious robot planet like cybertron that *definitely, totally* isnt unicron does he start to go kinda nuts the descent into madness is shown by how he goes from cyberforming lifeless barren worlds to cyberforming living ones and finally the crew mutinies and the ship crashes
@@larry7869 I’m more talking about how the game is leaning into the consequences of a war with such a vast scope, while the cartoon was relatively blasé with save for a few episodes. The Marvel books tapped into it, tho. Things like how Optimus and Megatron talk about how much they miss their home and how Optimus refuses to put Cybertron before earth, even when the ferrotaxis had a good chance of giving them a home
0:46 freaking hell, he just pulled the Forge of Solus Prime out and slammed Megatron, lmao! I don’t play but I still feel obligated to ask…Where do the Autobots even find these things in this game?! I’ve seen images of the Star Saber in this title too!
@@terminalvelocityrunner2202 I should add, i'm pretty sure they're also rewards for hitting certain requirements (completing the game, etc.), before being added to regular loot drops
i have like 7 Star Sabers but i can never get the Dark Star Saber or the Forge of Solus prime. If someone reads this please help me get those to ive been playing this game since 2016 and i havnt got any of those 2

"You, Megatron, must have amnesia! Me, Grimlock, is HIM!"
He would def say that too🗣🗿‼️
@@gianncmedina7805 Yes, sir

You no grapple Grimlock! GRIMLOCK GRAPPLE YOU!
Nice dark axis profile picture.
🦖
I love that when you play as Grimlock, you get to play like an idiot, yet still be a near unstoppable force of destruction
Perfectly captures the character.
Grimlock is just maximum UNGA BUNGA and I'm here for it.
@@dylancross1039 UNGA BUNGA, UNGA BUNGA, UNGA BUNA!!!!!!
Bro did NOT let that slide 💀
"You grab Grimlock!? Now Grimlock is mad!😠"
Grimlock just went OH HELL NAH after Megatron grappled him
Why is it so fun to watch Megatron get thrown around?

Because those are some very good throws.
Because Starscream needs therapy and Knockout doesn't exist in this continuity
@@terminalvelocityrunner2202 while not born in the 80s and grew up on G1 I can agree

This game is weird because it has Platinum’s combat, the 1980s characterizations of the cast, but a deconstructionist plot of the current comics.
Really? I actually don't know much about Transformers comics. What does it do?

My boi didn't even let megatron land another hit 💀💀
Playing as Grimlock allowed me to hit Starscream with a Piledriver, something that has been SORELY needed for decades now.
In the United States, Megatron grapples Grimlock.
In the Soviet Union, Grimlock grapples Megatron.
The moment Grimlock grabbed Megatron and started twirling him around I busted out laughing. That is the funniest shit I've seen in a while.
The pits of Kaon means nothing to Grimlock, Megatron. 😂
My guy did combos that I didn’t even know existed.
Nothing could have prepared me for Grimlock to whip out the Forge of Solis Prime and hit Megatron like a stubborn nail
1st rule of grabs
Do NOT grab the GRABBER
Grimlock would make a great heavy aggro command grabber in a TF fighting game
I could see The moment your brain said oh really ?!?!
Bro got handled WWE style
King in Tekken 8 be like
He who lives by the Grapple, dies by the Grapple!
"No Megatron, this isn't your victory theme. It's your losing one."
-Grimlock to Megatron during this fight
ME, GRIMLOCK NO GET GRABBED!!! ME, GRIMLOCK KING!!!
"Let this be lesson for you, LITTLE LITTLE MAN!"
There's something enjoyable about the sound of Frank Welker's Megatron getting pummeled around.
Definitely using your vids as my guide on how to play at a higher level, cuz those combos were insane.
bro did not remember war of the dinobots
Grimlock ate up Megatron like cesium salami.
You mean Beryllum Bologna.
Grimlock is the king of transformers devastation
Grimlock has the forge of Solus Prime! Awesome!
grimlock went dino-shit when megatron not only grappled him, but also emoted him, the disrespect was so bad bro had to lock in fr
>grabs grimlock once
>dies
I mainly use Grimlock
Bro did in fact not let that slide
Megatron: *drags Grimlock across the floor then shoot him, once*
Grimlock: and me Grimlock took it personally
Me Grimlock grappler, not Megatron!
ME GRIMLOCK UNSTOPPABLE!!!!
Damn. Maybe I should switch from Bumblebee
This looks like Metal Gear Rising Revengence
Yeah, same genra.
Funny enough they share a lot of assets. They were both made by platinum games
this game needs a rerelease
I now know the utility
Bros running like a Roblox character
imagine if this game had pvp
I don’t get what was so wrong
Don’t grab Grimlock. Grimlock is a grappler and he will remind you who the better bot grabber is expeditiously.
NOW SPEAK.
0:11
Now who's laughing
Pretty cool
O jeito q ele corre é tão pateta, chega a se comico
H AM M E R
lol
yo what challenge mission this is?
