Brian Tyree Henry really out did himself with his incredible performance and his deep understanding of Megatron since always wanted to play the villains. Every villain is a hero of his and her own Story. D-16 is not only a product of Cybertron’s corrupted system and takes on Sentinel Prime’s oppression though violent means all the social injustices he had experiences forged his transcendence into Megatron and building up to a rivalry with Orion turned Optimus Prime (due to wanting the same goal of a unified Cybertron but have different viewpoints). But their friendship is doomed since they discovered that shocking realization their leader Sentinel Prime had sold out Cybertron to the Quintessons after betraying his fellow Prime brothers and sisters, and ruled his planet through oppression. D-16 has put too much faith in the system he has held on to until his worldview was shattered that boils up to anger and a personal vengeance after being suffered of the social injustices while Orion still kept his optimism by exposing the truth of Sentinel's corruption. This what makes D-16 a much more of a compelling hero-turned-villain and tragic character in Transformers history. And the rift between two brothers. Both D-16 and Orion really wanted a unified Cybertron but each have different ways to bringing it into fruition.
The changing of the background is a visual language of D-16’s complete transcendence into Megatron.This Transformers movie is an ABSOLUTE CINEMATIC PEAK! It deserves more love and attention.
Seeing Megatron’s eyes turn red is shocking, and the a sign that D-16 is no more and ends up letting go Orion, and end up betraying his brotherly bond.
I don't know how many times this will need to be explained, but Prime's "mercy" was only ever about D-16's well-being. He never cared if Sentinel died (he knew he deserved it anyway), he was more so thinking in the long term of the dangerous precedent a public execution of an already neutralized enemy would set when they could give him a proper death penalty for his crimes (or even authorized torture). D was only thinking about his own satisfaction rather than the good of the people who now know the truth. Wouldn't it be better if everyone had a say in affirming Sentinel's death instead of instilling fear by killing him in public? Unlike "everyone in the audience" (which isn't even true, by the way), Orion (being something of a history nerd) actually knows what he's talking about, he just needed to be more careful with expressing his concerns since D took it as him saying that he was just like Sentinel. Y'all are so lost in the Megatronian sauce. Edit: In retrospect, I went overboard with this comment
@ damn dude it’s not that deep, I’m just pointing out that people(mainly reactors) are cheering on Megatron’s execution of Sentinel. And I’m not speaking on behalf of the viewers who DO want Sentinel dead (a lot of people in the theater we went to wanted it to happen, with a little boy screaming bloody murder for D to do it), and I will admit I am a Megatron fan (but strictly IDW Megatron only). I’m not even thinking canon-wise regarding my comment, just basing it on people’s reactions, literally my comment has nothing to do with the plot or anything else-
@@IvanIsYda_ Yeah, that's fair. I made the mistake of assuming it was more than you pointing out the reactors' opinions and going a bit too far with my rant about why they're wrong on that subject. My bad.
Orion Pax's point is, punishing Sentinel did not have to come at the expense of his death. D-16 was too consumed by anger, and he didn't want D to become the same as Sentinel. I think Orion Pax considers the greater good.
@@yeonjundani i agree with that, however, like I already told the other guy, it’s not that deep. I was talking about how the general public(reactors/movie watchers) was looking for Sentinel to die. My point was that the audience, for once, cheered for Megatron’s brutality over Prime’s.
Me and a friend decided to check this movie out because of how good the reception was. We knew nothing regarding the series. We were actually losing our minds in the nearly empty theater as Dee ripped Sentinal apart. We were blown away!
“I’m done saving you!”
This was the moment D-16 died and Megatron was truly born… 😢😱🥺
We all know the fallout, but seeing this in theater is ALL-OUT insane and shocking as hell...
It really is! I find it more tragic to see their brotherly bond is shattered. To D-16’s perspective, he think Prion betrays him.

The only movie where everyone in the audience actually cheers for Megatron, and disagree with Prime’s mercy

Optimus Prime in his mind : "So be it."
Transformers fans be like 🤯
Non transformers fans be like 😐
I wish people knew about transformers
Didn't know it was underrated
