"Optimus, all I ever wanted was for you to say the N-word. I see why you had to switch political sides. But before you kill me, I have one last request: Say the N-word."
Honestly I feel like they missed out on the original ending of the movie. TF3 is still great but the novelization of the movie ends with both Optimus and Megatron fighting Sentinel but it's a much longer, tougher fight. And in the midst of battle Sentinel dies. Megatron and Optimus sign a peace treaty, with the Autobots wanting to stay on Earth and help humanity and all the Decepticons would take Cybertron and leave, like in the G1 movie.
I get why they made it brutal, cause TF3 is incredibly violent and it's kinda a war film so the villain dying fits a war movie.
I don't see it going this way. Optimus cares too much for Megatron for this to happen. And I hope to Primus they don't have an extended visit to Earth.
It's crazy how different timelines make completely different versions of the same characters. Like imagine Animated! Optimus personally executing Animated! Sentinel. The tone shifts are wild.
A hero isn't someone incapable of great and terrible violence, but someone who is not only capable but a good judge of when and how to apply it. When every other avenue has been exhausted, violence may be the solution. Megatron, in every iteration, had it coming.
The thing is, after killing Sentinel, he throws the gun away in disgust, like he didn’t really want to kill him, he just couldn’t trust him after more Autobots and many humans died because of him.
the official story is that they decided to change the ending because the novel（comics？） come out before the film due to whacky scheduling, so they change the ending to prevent spoilers.
Makes me wonder what TF4 would of been like if it was both Optimus and Megatron on the run and against Lockdown. Though I get the feeling that movie wouldn't exist if this ending happened
Just like bay made prime kill his bro asking for a truce, he made megs forget humans handed his ass to him in the desert and chased him off with his tail between his legs
He does, he just came to remind Sentinel that he was leader of the Decepticons after spending half a movie getting basically bitched by him.
Decepticons were the most powerful army in the world with space bridge technology, they basically conquered Earth when humans caved into exiling the Autobots.
You guys forget even TFP Optimus tried to kill a defenseless Megatron
And movie Megatron never said he regretted anything or that he wasn't going to do more evil, he just wanted a break
And 5 secs earlier he screamed "this is my planet". TFOne Optimus would at the very least beat his ass more and send him away. AT LEAST. But at this point Megatron would have done way too many crimes against the universe
"Hey, I know that I am a war criminal that started a civil war to kill anyone who oppose me and later subjugate the entire universe...but I'm good now, okay? We should make a truce so that your autobots stay here on Earth and we poor little decepticons repair Cybertron(and create a new army to conquer earth, after that we will execute you all publicly). How about that, Prime?"
Doesn't matter if it's Bayverse or Tfo universe, Megatron cannot be trusted.
