      I understand the sentiment and I realize that Transformers is unfortunately stamped with the marks of neoliberalism like most entertainment media, but in the comics and movies, Megatron 70 percent of the time is a douchebag megalomaniacal maniac that wants to destroy non-organic life or commit genocide of the autobots, despite his token occasional criticism of the autobots. It unfortunately makes sense for the autobots to tacitly tolerate working with the U.S. military.

        The IDW timeline is very weird. If you read More Than Meets the Eyes, you see his origin and what he is like in the present and it makes no sense how or why he was a bloodthirsty genocider in between those periods.

        The writers had the baggage of the countless past iterations of the franchise where the war is defined in very simplistic good vs. bad terms. I think they just chose to ignore its deeper implications. I don’t mind it though because it makes More Than Meets the Eyes a great read if you are not irked by the inconsistency in the continuity

      He’s not a car but throughout the franchise’s history he transforms into many different things: A gun, tank, jet, helicopter, etc
