In this universe, Soundwave, Shockwave, and a handful of others are the gladiators that rose up in the ranks alongside Megatron, so it makes sense Plus Soundwave and Shockwave don’t try to betray Megatron at every opportunity-cough cough Starscream-so Megs has no reason to distrust them.
In the original Comics, Shockwave was the military ruler of the city Tarn, Megatron was their champion gladiator, Soundwave was Megatron's close confidant, and Starscream was the figurehead ruler of Vos. Vos sought to incite war between Tarn and Iacon so they could take over the planet in the aftermath by sabotaging Tarn. This failed as the saboteurs were caught, resulting in Tarn and Vos destroying each other. Out of the ashes, Megatron used his charisma to rally both sides together and turn their fury on Iacon for not intervening, creating the Decepticons. Starscream, Soundwave, and Shockwave went along with this but regularly took whatever opportunity they could to betray Megatron and seize power. Soundwave served both Megatron and Shockwave in secret and Starscream was the least successful of them all as a rival. Shockwave was actually more like Megatron's equal for this reason. He has defeated him in combat. But they also respect each other even if begrudgingly. Unfortunately this level of nuanced writing is rarely seen in Transformers adaptations.
@3:54 Megatron: "Never improve upon perfection, Soundwave!" Probably the one, and only time, Megatron rebuked Soundwave, and it was a half-hearted verbal slap on the wrist at best.
In TFone continuity... "THE AGE OF SPECIAL HOLIDAYS ARE OVER! NO MORE FIGHTINGS! FOLLOW ME! AND YOU ARE ALL INVITED TO MY BIRTHDAY PARTY! RISEEEEEE UP!"
What Starscream never understood was that while some of the Decepticons swore Loyalty to him,other Decepticons like Soundwave,Shockwave and Barricade will always remane Loyal to Megatron,this is a truth that Starscream never understood,if he wanted Decepticon Leadership so badly,why not challange Megatron in a fight for Leadership
Megatron is the con we see showing any respect to Shockwave, the audio files say the rest of the Decepticons are terrified of him. Shockwave is likely loyal because Megatron respects his genius; all the same, Megatron not being bothered by his requirements is another sign of how evil he is.
The gun we got was probably endgame gun since we just got it, good aoe, enough damage, not to mention meg's alt mode cannon was op, one problem to counter the power, ammo economy
Did anyone notice that Megatron repeated similar words to Starscream that he said in the 1986 movie when he was revived as Galvatron "coronation starscream this is bad comedy "
@@kylecochrane4450 There's also another scene where Slag (the triceratops dinobot) knocks over a giant door on a decepticon and looks down at him while still crushing him to say "excuse me" which also happened in the old animated movie
Megatron - "You forget Starscream! It was in this gladiatorial arena I proved myself worthy to lead!" Starscream - "That day has long past, Megatron!" Megatron - "THAT DAY WILL LIVE FOREVER!"
The only change I didn't like was Megatron's face. It looks weird to me. Iirc they did it because the cybertron games were supposed to tie into Transformers Prime. But I think that got scrapped which is why they tied it into the Bayverse with RoTDS. Which ultimately killed the series. I hope they get remastered since they won't let them be backwards compatible for that reason.
MEGATRON: YOU FORGET STARSCREAM IT WAS IN THIS GLADITORAL ARENA I PROVED MYSELF WORTHY TO LEAD Starcream: that day long past megatron. MEGATRON: THAT DAY WILL LIVE FOREVER. Love how megatron can turn something noble such as a trial of might usually heroic into something utterly abbhorent.
Sam Reigel (probably misspelling the name). Donatello from 4Kids TMNT. Jude Mathis in the Tales of Xillia games. Amazing Spider-Man in the movie tie-in games of the same name. Phoenix Wright in Marvel vs Capcom 3. And Steve in Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles.
I actually love how Megatron practically only shows respect to Soundwave and Shockwave
They are pretty much the only ones he respects in the Arena who show strenght by deeds not like Talk star scream

Soundwave is his most loyal servant, and Shockwave, despite being loyal, can also be more intimidating than Megatron himself

I love this part "Coronation Starscream? This is bad comedy." from G1 Movie.
You just watch this game and at every turn you can see how much the developers loved transformers too.
I mean the designs of the characters are based on the G1 designs so it was kinda obvious for me. Just me tho.
Highmoon studios were fans of G1
“DECEPTICONS!!! YOUR RIGHTFUL LORD AND MASTER HAS RETURNED!”

It's make me chills

*Meanwhile under a special occasion..*
"Rejoice my decepticons, MEGATRON HAS A BIRTHDAY TODAY!"
“We always knew your birthday would be back, Megatron!”
In TFone continuity...
"THE AGE OF SPECIAL HOLIDAYS ARE OVER! NO MORE FIGHTINGS! FOLLOW ME! AND YOU ARE ALL INVITED TO MY BIRTHDAY PARTY! RISEEEEEE UP!"
All Hail Megatron..The one true Emperor of The Decepticons
I wish they’d done a remaster of both war for cybertron and fall of cybertron
The files are buried somewhere in Activision's vaults.
On which game systems?
What Starscream never understood was that while some of the Decepticons swore Loyalty to him,other Decepticons like Soundwave,Shockwave and Barricade will always remane Loyal to Megatron,this is a truth that Starscream never understood,if he wanted Decepticon Leadership so badly,why not challange Megatron in a fight for Leadership
Because in a straight up duel, Megatron would send that poser to the big scrap-heap in the sky.
He knows in a straight up fight he can never beat megatron.
Except for that time he knocked Megatron on his ass with one punch after Megs cheated on him with a Ninja She-Bot.
@monsterzero way to take an event massively out of context
@@LegendXD00I want the context now
Soundwave's voice! 💀💀💀💀💀
Oh I so wanted:
“Megatron, is that you?”
“Here’s a hint!”
Megatron is the con we see showing any respect to Shockwave, the audio files say the rest of the Decepticons are terrified of him. Shockwave is likely loyal because Megatron respects his genius; all the same, Megatron not being bothered by his requirements is another sign of how evil he is.
Should of had a quick time event to "shut starscream up.". Never mind 😅
They already had that earlier at the warp cannon “SILENCE!”
Republic
I like that just before you shut him up you hear someone say "flight your own battle Starscream" (it got cut off in this vid)
I like how megatron has a statue just ready for him already
Can never be too prepared.
I mean, it could've been there before starscream ordered to remove it in place of his own.
I mean yes but that's a statue with his new design, which he wouldn't obviously have anticipated
The power i felt when i played this level was glorious
It was…. Shocking
The gun we got was probably endgame gun since we just got it, good aoe, enough damage, not to mention meg's alt mode cannon was op, one problem to counter the power, ammo economy
Did anyone notice that Megatron repeated similar words to Starscream that he said in the 1986 movie when he was revived as Galvatron "coronation starscream this is bad comedy "
Yes... yes, well noticed and it was wonderful.
@@oldgamesinvestigator7852 It's very fitting and a nice little reference to a classic Transformers Movie
@@kylecochrane4450 There's also another scene where Slag (the triceratops dinobot) knocks over a giant door on a decepticon and looks down at him while still crushing him to say "excuse me" which also happened in the old animated movie
@@oldgamesinvestigator7852 I don't recall seeing that one but than again I no longer have access to that game which is a shame was a great game
Starscream wasted no time in making a solid gold statue of himself
Leave it to Soundwave to be forever loyal to Megatron, unlike that mutinous moron Starscream...
I love the voice actor for megatron in this game
Megatron - "You forget Starscream! It was in this gladiatorial arena I proved myself worthy to lead!"
Starscream - "That day has long past, Megatron!"
Megatron - "THAT DAY WILL LIVE FOREVER!"
Oh how I miss playing this game
Megatron is the only one fit to lead the Decepticon's
4:24 Transformers The Movie reference
There's another in the game too involving the dinobots dropping a door on an insecticon and snarl says excuse me
Hail Megatron!
Chirox: Who dares to disrupt my coronation?
Skull Grinder: Coronation, Chirox? This is bad comedy.
Who the hell are you talking about?
"Never improve upon perfection, Soundwave."
All hail Megatron! The Lord Protector of Cybertron and all Cybertronians!
Never in my life I loved to be Megatron more than this moment 👌
He's a narcissist that can PROVE his claims

4:21 I love the reference to the animated movie
Soundwave and Shockwave are true Soldier and loyal to megatron.
voice acting matched so well with the story writing
Skull Grinder: Makutas! SKULL GRINDER has RETURNED!
Damn starscream is the most cowardly decepticon ever
Love how he quoted that scene from the g1 movie.
You are the dominator!!!
You are the destroyer!!!
It is time to resurrect Megatron, the rightfull Lord and Master of the Decepticons!!!!
Coronation starscream this is bad comedy
Man I loved hearing all the G1 catch phrases.
Unlike most forms of Energon, Dark Energon is very dangerous
I am… MEGATRON!
you would have to be insane to fight megtron as a con
megatron is too much of a tyrant that even some decepticon goons start shit talking him
Megatron wanted to test his new systems my beating up starscream that’s why he asked where he was
Man! I Miss this Game
Dude my name is Hunter Hall too and I love this game, just played this level last week🤣🤣 small world
GET READY TO CRUMBLE BEFORE RUMBLE.
All hail Megatron
Awesome
All Hail Megatron!
What were those cons who follow Starscream thinking trying to take on Megatron?
8:51 lol.
Dude your screen is SO dark 😆
ALL HAIL MEGATRON!!!
