Yep. Megatron is usually portrayed as a well-intentioned extremist (in much the same way as Magneto in the X-Men). His end goals are usually noble, it's how he goes about achieving them that is bad.
@@gamester512 It's almost like Hitler. Both has incredibly good intentions, but their excecutions and ideas were horrible and awful. Even in the worst of humanity, there's some good to be found.
"I was a gladiator,you know". "At some gladitorial arena where your only opponents were empties !" "Try the pits of Kaon.Could've become the grand champion if i hadn't formed the Decepticons.I'm not one of those Vehicon pansies.I could crush Sentinel Prime.With my bare hands !"
Basically all of Megatron's punching attacks are identical to Armstrong... And it still fits really well. Because even among the Transformers, Megatron is known for possessing a terrifying amount of brute strength, even unarmed, to compliment his brilliant mind - I think only Grimlock and Bruticus are stronger.
I know everyone loves Starscream as their favorite misunderstood villain but Megatron really is a great, passionate and intimidating leader. He's badass.

Not when you're bringing glory to Cybertron? What do you know of glory? You weren't created poorly. You've never been obsolete. You don't know what it's like to kill just to survive!
This is legitimately one of the Best Optimus V. Megatron edits I've ever seen. The song goes incredibly well with the high octane action of Devastation's gameplay.
And to think, the game was given away for free to PS Plus members on the PS4 a while back. It's been sitting in my library untouched the whole time because of that.
@@SnakeRoadComicsOfficial3677 wow, even the lyrics apply here: _Standing here_ _I realize_ _You're just like me_ _trying to make history._ [...] _I carved my own path_ _you followed your wrath_ _but maybe we're both the same._
It fits just about every boss in my opinion. Even if the lyrics arent relavent to the fight, it still just makes the fight better. The final boss fight against Dr Octopus in Spider-Man PS4 and the final Fight against Vergil in DMC5 are great examples
"MEGATRON!!! I once said that my axe was a tool for justice -- a means to fight for the rights of all sentient beings, not for revenge, but now, I'm not so sure. And besides... This isn't my ax!"
I love it when a villain isn't just evil for the sake of being evil. That they have legitimate, understandable reasons for doing what they do. Megatron truly does love his home, his people, to him it's all that matters, and he'd do anything, everything he possibly can to protect it
Why did he try to destroy the ferrotaxis rather than let Optimus have it? Megatron loves only himself, and Cybertron only matters to him if he can control it. Otherwise he would try to destroy it to deny it to others.
“Cybertron is the center of my universe! HOW IS IT NOT AT THE HEART OF YOURS!?” Wow... just wow.... that got me... *- The road to hell is paved with good intentions (Samuel Johnson, 1775)*
The quote is originally from St Bernard Of Clairveaux about why he had peter abelard Excommunicated (abelard d*ed of depression and starvation shortly after). St Bernard was petitioned why when “abelard such good intentions.” a few years later the albegenesians (think the worst parts of the sith but MUCH worse and real) were formed from “liberal” Priests who followed abelard.
@@JPX7NGD Wow good lord... "The physical world is evil and made by Satan." is pretty bloody crazy. Because that is straight up Nihilism in practice. No wonder the quote came from that.
I love Optimus prime, but I understand Megatron. I respect them both, not just for their ability to change and adapt, but also because they build off of one another. These two have always been more than meets the eye.
Senator Armstrong Using War as business to end war as a business isn’t the way towards peace. Like Hot ColdMan tried to prove his theory in 74 Humans are Incapable of launching Nukes.
Megatron: "You and I are opposite sides of the same coin, When we face each other, we can finally see our true selves, There may be a resemblance. But we'll never look in the same direction..."
The lyrics of "It has to be this Way" suit the Optimus/Megatron dynamic so well. Optimus was the unite all Transformers, amongst the barren wasted land that is Cybertron. Megatron wants only the glory of the Decepticons. With the blood-stained sands now appearant to Optimus he is sure of only one thing: It has the be this way!
Cybertron is the center of *my* universe! How is not at the *heart* of yours!? I like this line because for Megatron all he cares about is seeing his home restored no matter the cost for him Cybertron is everything. How could Prime not put his home over humans? Cybertron is about *all* life, destruction to keep Cybertron of Life Support there must be another way! And Optimus ultimately points out the problem of Megatrons plan. Cybertron wouldn't fully be restored it would just be on life support for who knows how long before it just dies again. He wants to find a TRUE way to restore cybertron not just a temporary solution.
I also like how you can see Megatron actually consider giving in. It's only a moment, but you'd think if he was completely certain of his plans he'd be acting cocky, but instead he comes across more desperate than just a mustache twirling villain. Ultimate he and Optimus know they both want the same thing, they just see it differently.
I like this a lot because it shows you don't need your villain to be sympathetic to be interesting, you can sometimes just have their motivation seem good, but be horribly skewed in some way, like Megatron. This is one of the best versions of the "fighting for the same thing" they talk about in some of the series.
Another detail is the other quote here: 4:28 "Flesh isn't life! Servos, Gyros and Fuel! This is where Life comes from!" Let's face it, we as humans consider machines "Disposable", and that if someone were to consider a machine "alive", a majority of humans would freak out and say "It's not life", and make a similar claim as Megatron, only replacing "Servos, Gyros and Fuel" with "Muscles, Bones and Blood!" as an inverse. It also comes off as Megatron getting Desperate, trying to convince Prime to restore their homeworld... Which makes sense when you consider that Cybertron to them, is what Earth is to us. We'd consider Cybertron a cool looking world, a fascinating Planet to observe and Record, but a majority of Humans wouldn't want to live there for more than half our lives... And the same applies to the Cybertronians. While Prime does want to make peace with the Humans, he also carries this tone that "We're getting off this Rock as soon as we can restore our home".
@@Victor-056 in this era many won't mindless be terrified of robots/androids acting like they are sentient it will be cool if you think in another and different perceptive Organisms are also considered to be machines to nature's business like blood being organic fuel or energon Veins as circuits Organs has the motors of the solid body Some have the lack of personality and emotions Plants using animals and their corpses for food as them use plants for tools like ants and homosapians And yeah you are right the part with cybertron being amazing and megatron loving it but prime doesn't really showed that he cares much about cybertron/ primus than megatron He is a simp to life not to celestial mass objects so he will kinda stay that rock and never leave it
@@Victor-056 yes ,the mood of Prime putting human life over cybertronians justifiably pissed off Megatron ,,,plus the banter about "fleshlings" are not life" , reminds me of a StarTrek TNG episode where Data was willing to risk Captain Picard's very life to prove the "Exocomps", were living machines ,,, your comment was great , loved it ,,🎄👍
I love how they made megaton not see organic life as life because its not mechanical. It's just the perfect reversal of the sentient machine life or not trope. It makes perfect sense for his character and motivations
Interesting, in the IDW comics, all it took to get Soundwave to surrender was to show him that humans have electrical impulse driven nervous systems, making them ultimately just wetter versions of cybertronic life.
Optimus: "Hey Megatron your decepticon glory days are over. Give me the Ferrotaxis." Megatron: "If you want it you'll have to take me down to get it, but you already knew that."
5:27 The Test of Strength ending here is the most hype raising, teeth grinding, pulse pounding moment in video games that I’ve experienced in the past couple years. Also, when searching up It Has To Be This Way, Senator Megatron is the 3rd result. And for good reason.
CaptainDemo779 It was a massive "Oh shit" moment for me because I had already put the controller down and there were literally no other QTEs in the game. Good times.
Actually Optimus plays a lot more like Bayonetta, some of the features in the game are similar to Witch time in Bayonetta. The Legend of Korra game though felt like Revengeance due to the parry system
Be honest I figured the scaling of Original G1 is lowball Moon level to Highball Planet level+. This game was kinda outrageously broken due to their power scale.
Senator Megatron: Was a Gladiator on Cybertron, y’know? Wheeljack: In some cushy Sea of Rust club! Senator Megatron: Try Arena of Kaon! Could’ve gone pro if I hadn’t led the Military! I’m not one of those Iacon Pansies! I could break the Primes in two! With my bare servos! Don’t fuck with this Decepticon!
Senator Megatron: Alright… the truth then. You’re right about one thing… I do need Energon, and Earth. Wanna know why?! “I have a dream!” Wheeljack: What...? Senator Megatron: That one cycle, every bot in this universe will control their own destiny! A Galaxy of the truly free, dammit! A Galaxy of action not words - ruled by strength not committee! Where the Law changes to suit the bot, not the other way around! Where power and control are back where they belong, in the servos of the Cybertronians! Where every bot is free- to think, to act- for himself! Fuck all these limp-servo librarians, and these junkion-shit bureaucrats! Fuck this 24/7 Autobot spew of trivia and humanity bullshit! Fuck Cybertronian Pride -- fuck the Autobots - Fuck all of it! Cybertron is diseased - rotten to the core… There’s no saving it… We need to pull it out by the roots! Wipe the slate clean - burn it down! And from the ashes a new Cybertron will be born! Transformed but untamed! The weak will be purged, and the strongest will thrive; free to live as they see fit! They’ll make Cybertron great again!
4:12 I know it’s been said before but that’s a powerful line coming from Megatron. For a moment you think, “Wow, perhaps there is more to this villain than meets the eye.” Before you remember the steps he’s taking to fulfill his idea of duty for his ‘Center of The Universe’.
It really makes the second verse of the music fit even more as well. Optimus followed his path, Megatron followed his wrath, but they both had the same love for their home, differing simply on how much each would willingly sacrifice to see it restored
Most of the G1 accurate Optimus’ never fully portrayed who Optimus really is. This game definitely does way better than most, but every G1 accurate Optimus has something special about them
@@azmodeus2828 One of my favorite quotes from Optimus comes from the IDW Comics. He and Alpha Trion were on the moon, looking at Earth, when Trion remarked Earth as a fragile planet. Optimus rebuked him by saying it was hardly fragile, since their war "ended" there.
This is how the WFC Trilogy should had been made. This level of complexity for the characters and the level of awesomeness. Optimus fighting to the point of sacrifice and Megatron complex and yet twisted. And lastly, having the voices Masters that originally gave them true life, Peter "Optimus" Cullen and Frank "Megatron" Welker.
@@ravendarklawgaming197 Good, you really aren't missing much. They made Optimus a crying, sobbing, self pitying idiot with a speech impediment. And every one has the same idiotic somber attitude, and even Bumblebee is some sort of brooding tough guy... Yeah a character named Bumblebee 🐝 is a tough guy. It was so stupid and Optimus whined and at one point even wailed to Megatron to say to him that he (Megatron) "Forgives him". It really is crap.
@@EternalRoman For a second I thought you meant the games from the Aligned Continuity (WFC, FOC, RotDS, Prime). Speaking of, I have never actually played Rise of the Dark Spark. However I long for a remaster of War and Fall.
@@kabob0077 Oh no, the games and series are another thing altogether. The Series WFC was a sort of offense towards the characters and even the OG Voice actors.
@@EternalRoman from what i remember ROTDS isnt cannon as the game only create to promote TF4 movie, plus it clashes with bayverse, aligned and G1, and it wasnt made by High Moon studios. In a nutshell, its Hasbro/ Activision try to milk the TF series in videogames but failed.
I do love it when authors actually give Megatron a deep, complex backstory. Him having legitimate reasons for ending up as a power hungry despot always trumps just being a goofy loon for no reason but "because".
Give me the Ferrotaxis If you want it then you’ll have to take it, but you already knew that. How many times have we fought Hard to say. It’s the only memory I have of us since Cybertron. Time to finish this Megatron, once and for all!
Now that I think about it, Metal Gear Rising and Transformers Devastation are the same game. -Both were developed by the same studio -Both have giant robots -Both have attacks that slow down time -Both have a final boss that creates pillars of fire -Both have you grapple with the final boss and end up winning the grapple with a head bash -Both have enemies explode when they die -Both have absolutely ridiculous boss fights
MEGATROOONNN ! Optimus Prime: I said my star saver is a tool of justice. Not used in anger not used for vengeance. But now i am not so sure and besides this isn't my star saber Megatron: Come on. Optimus: Okay then Lets dance!
"Standing Here, I Realize You're Just like Me Trying to Make History" In this line, we can see Optimus' and Megatron's parallels, and how they want to change the history of a race; both saving Cybertron and the Earth respectively "But Who's to Judge The Right From Wrong?" Megatron, even being someone that has a evil heart and desires, in the end, wants the best for Cybertron, while Optimus, for the sake of the Earthlings, has to became the enemy of his own planet "When our guard is down I think we'll both agree that Violence breeds Violence, but in the end It has to be this way!" Even though they don't want the collateral damage, it has to be the way it has to "I carved my own path, You followed your wrath, but maybe we're both the same" While Optimus carved his own path, Megatron followed his own evil desires, ending in the same objectives, but with different worlds "The world has turn, so many have burn, but nobody is to blame" This one's deep The devastation that the Autobot-Decepticon war did both in the Earth and in Cybertron did took some important number of lifes, but who really has the fault of that? Optimus wanted to protect the Earthlings, plane where he saw potential and good within it, and Megatron, who wants to revive Cybertron, planet that died by his own fault. Though, both of them doesn't really have the fault, so who was the REAL guilty? "Yet staring across this barren, wasted land, I think new life will be born beneath this blood-stained sand!" However, in this line, Optimus sees potential, and this that in the end, there's hope both for humanity and even for Cybertron and it's creatures shout this song matches well after all...
I don’t think it’s strange at all. Especially when you consider Optimus and Megatron’s relationship, and how in many continuities they once believed and fought for the same thing.
Megatron: Flesh isn't life! Servos, gyros, and fuel~ this is where life comes from! Optimus Prime: To quote a fellow axe-swinger whose power rises and falls with the Sun: "who decided that!?"
It never happened sadly. Activision and Hasbro license deal to made games are expired back on 2017, and now they already shut down the multiplayer server for WFC and FOC.
The beauty of this video Light vs Dark Hero vs Villain Optimus prime vs Megatron The song is ironic here because it suits them both so well Optimus doesn’t always know witch path is the right way and has Energon stained on his hands a lot he fought to save but has killed for other reason Megatron is someone who doesn’t care about killing he enjoys it he savors it no matter what but he has a end goal he wants Cybertron too be back again he would do what ever it takes too get it back Even if it mean killing Optimus It makes sense
Is it just me or the song just goes perfect with this fight? *they are fighting for the same cause but have different ways *they both secretly respect each other *Megatron fights to achieve his dreams *Optimus wants to achieve his dreams while protecting the weak Literally raiden and armstrong
@@ravendarklawgaming197 mostly because their deal with Hasbro ended and they couldnt renew license to make games with Activision (cause hasbro was like, having struggle financially that time) Just sad they decided to shut doen multiplayer servers last year :(
I haven't played this game in years, but looking back on this gameplay has shown me something I didn't realize. They went to good effort to integrate both robot and alt mode into combat, and the transformation attacks are something so unique to transformers. I might get heat for this, but that is one thing that this game did better than the high moon studio games. In those games the alt mode was more of a mobility option than a combat option, but here in devastation, it is both.
Optimus: "Destruction to keep Cybertron on life support, there must be another way!" Megatron: "Flesh isn't life. Servos, gyros and fuel are! It has to be this way Prime!"
This game truly catches the heart of G1 Transformers even though Megatron is a Tank instead of a chrome-handgun ,,and a couple of voices are substitutes ,,, still love this game ,,
Someone should make a video of the final boss fight against Senator Armstrong from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and play the final boss music from Transformers Devastation
If you really look into the song, it fits perfectly with the conflicts between the two leaders. Their falling out as friends, and eventual full separation from each other, fighting to change things for the better *i'll have the black pill thank you*
Megatron! I fight in Cybertron because of Justice... Not in anger. Not for vengeance. But now... Now I'm not so sure. And besides... We're not in Cybertron. Let's dance.
When you think about it, this song fits both of them (though the song itself will fit any two characters with the same ideologies, but different methods): They both have different ideologies for peace, but they are always at odds with each other. They want the same thing, but they had different approach to how peace should be attained. Optimus wants peace without war and living as equals. Megatron wants peace through tyranny. In the Japanese G1 continuity, Megatron and Optimus found the peace they sought for, but Megatron ends up starting a war that was outside his power (Kiloton killed by humans after being manipulated by Starscream for example), and Optimus knew war was the one thing they didn't want, but had to go through with it. Even IDW Megatron was sympathetic.
Standing here I realize You are just like me Trying to make history But who’s to judge The right from wrong When our guard is down I think we’ll both agree That violence breeds violence But in the end it has to be this way I’ve carved my own path You followed your wrath But maybe we’re both the same The world has turned And so many have burned But nobody is to blame Yet staring across this barren wasted land I feel new life will be born Beneath the blood stained sand Beneath the blood stained saaaannnnd!
I found this video by finally listening to the metal gear rising soundtrack and man I have to say this game looks beautiful, especially when they were in space. The use of color is so good as well as everything else! :)
Sure, here’s a list of anime that are often considered to have elements similar to other well-known series, yet have garnered praise in their own right: 1. **"Attack on Titan"** - Often compared to "Shingeki no Kyojin" due to its dark themes and intense action, it has been praised for its originality and world-building. 2. **"Code Geass"** - Similar in some aspects to "Death Note" with its psychological and strategic battles, it offers a unique take on mecha and political intrigue. 3. **"Fate/Zero"** - Though it has similarities to "Fate/stay night," its complex storytelling and mature themes make it stand out on its own. 4. **"Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood"** - While it shares a premise with "Fullmetal Alchemist," it is lauded for its faithful adaptation of the manga and its intricate plot. 5. **"Parasyte: The Maxim"** - Often compared to "Tokyo Ghoul" due to its horror and supernatural elements, it’s recognized for its unique take on parasitic organisms and human evolution. 6. **"Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic"** - It has similarities to "One Piece" and "Fairy Tail" in its adventurous spirit and world-building, yet it brings its own flavor to the genre. 7. **"Kakegurui"** - Shares similarities with "Kaiji" in its focus on high-stakes gambling, but it distinguishes itself with its over-the-top characters and intense psychological battles. 8. **"Steins;Gate"** - Often compared to "Future Diary" for its time travel elements, it has gained acclaim for its intricate storytelling and character development. 9. **"Black Clover"** - While it draws comparisons to "Naruto" and "Bleach," it has been praised for its fast-paced action and energetic storylines. 10. **"The Promised Neverland"** - With similarities to "Death Note" in its suspense and strategic elements, it stands out for its gripping narrative and psychological tension. These anime have made their own mark, offering fresh perspectives and engaging storytelling that have resonated with fans.
Yes, they are! “AoT” is an abbreviation for “Attack on Titan,” which is the English title of the series “Shingeki no Kyojin.” It’s funny how fans often use different names for the same thing! Are you a fan of the series?

*- The road to hell is paved with good intentions (Samuel Johnson, 1775)*
"The road to hell is paved with good intentions" - Samuel Johnson, 1775. A quote that fits Megatron perfectly
The quote is originally from St Bernard Of Clairveaux about why he had peter abelard Excommunicated (abelard d*ed of depression and starvation shortly after). St Bernard was petitioned why when “abelard such good intentions.” a few years later the albegenesians (think the worst parts of the sith but MUCH worse and real) were formed from “liberal” Priests who followed abelard.
megatron did nothing wrong and optimus is a race traitor cuck
@@JPX7NGD Wow good lord... "The physical world is evil and made by Satan." is pretty bloody crazy. Because that is straight up Nihilism in practice. No wonder the quote came from that.
I love Optimus prime, but I understand Megatron. I respect them both, not just for their ability to change and adapt, but also because they build off of one another. These two have always been more than meets the eye.
And that's why they call it Transformers not just Autobots or Decepticons♥️♥️♥️
@@husam_m_atef because transformers is a cool name
@@chidaluokoro9104 That's another point ❤️❤️
Ahhhh I get the more then meets the eye reference!
As a kid, you love the hero. As an adult, you understand the villain.
Alright...the truth then
I was inside Megatron body
Why did you do it? For capital? For VOTES?!
Senator Armstrong Using War as business to end war as a business isn’t the way towards peace. Like Hot ColdMan tried to prove his theory in 74 Humans are Incapable of launching Nukes.
Now I'm just picturing Armstrong piloting Megatron from the inside the same way he did Excelsus.
That would explain the Telekinesis
It all makes sense...
To be honest"it has to be this way" really matches the final battle
Wish this was the song used for the game
Especially the conversation at 5:15
Megatron: "You and I are opposite sides of the same coin, When we face each other, we can finally see our true selves, There may be a resemblance. But we'll never look in the same direction..."
The lyrics of "It has to be this Way" suit the Optimus/Megatron dynamic so well. Optimus was the unite all Transformers, amongst the barren wasted land that is Cybertron. Megatron wants only the glory of the Decepticons.
With the blood-stained sands now appearant to Optimus he is sure of only one thing: It has the be this way!
Oh god i love you for finding the similarities this song fits entirely
What really sells it to me is Megatron’s line though:
Cybertron is the center of _my_ universe! _How is it not the heart of yours?!_
I've curved my own path (Optimus)
you've followed your wrath (Megatron)
As Optimus in FOC said "This universe, no matter how vast, will never be big enough for you and I to coexist!"
@@gamechanger8908 Megatron said something similar in Armada, didn't he?
Cybertron is the center of *my* universe! How is not at the *heart* of yours!?
I like this line because for Megatron all he cares about is seeing his home restored no matter the cost for him Cybertron is everything. How could Prime not put his home over humans?
Cybertron is about *all* life, destruction to keep Cybertron of Life Support there must be another way!
And Optimus ultimately points out the problem of Megatrons plan. Cybertron wouldn't fully be restored it would just be on life support for who knows how long before it just dies again. He wants to find a TRUE way to restore cybertron not just a temporary solution.
I also like how you can see Megatron actually consider giving in. It's only a moment, but you'd think if he was completely certain of his plans he'd be acting cocky, but instead he comes across more desperate than just a mustache twirling villain. Ultimate he and Optimus know they both want the same thing, they just see it differently.
I like this a lot because it shows you don't need your villain to be sympathetic to be interesting, you can sometimes just have their motivation seem good, but be horribly skewed in some way, like Megatron. This is one of the best versions of the "fighting for the same thing" they talk about in some of the series.
Another detail is the other quote here: 4:28 "Flesh isn't life! Servos, Gyros and Fuel! This is where Life comes from!"
Let's face it, we as humans consider machines "Disposable", and that if someone were to consider a machine "alive", a majority of humans would freak out and say "It's not life", and make a similar claim as Megatron, only replacing "Servos, Gyros and Fuel" with "Muscles, Bones and Blood!" as an inverse.
It also comes off as Megatron getting Desperate, trying to convince Prime to restore their homeworld... Which makes sense when you consider that Cybertron to them, is what Earth is to us.
We'd consider Cybertron a cool looking world, a fascinating Planet to observe and Record, but a majority of Humans wouldn't want to live there for more than half our lives... And the same applies to the Cybertronians.
While Prime does want to make peace with the Humans, he also carries this tone that "We're getting off this Rock as soon as we can restore our home".
@@Victor-056 in this era many won't mindless be terrified of robots/androids acting like they are sentient it will be cool
if you think in another and different perceptive
Organisms are also considered to be machines to nature's business like blood being organic fuel or energon
Veins as circuits
Organs has the motors of the solid body
Some have the lack of personality and emotions
Plants using animals and their corpses for food as them use plants for tools like ants and homosapians
And yeah you are right the part with cybertron being amazing and megatron loving it but prime doesn't really showed that he cares much about cybertron/ primus than megatron
He is a simp to life not to celestial mass objects so he will kinda stay that rock and never leave it
@@Victor-056 yes ,the mood of Prime putting human life over cybertronians justifiably pissed off Megatron ,,,plus the banter about "fleshlings" are not life" , reminds me of a StarTrek TNG episode where Data was willing to risk Captain Picard's very life to prove the "Exocomps", were living machines ,,, your comment was great , loved it ,,🎄👍
I love how they made megaton not see organic life as life because its not mechanical. It's just the perfect reversal of the sentient machine life or not trope. It makes perfect sense for his character and motivations
Interesting, in the IDW comics, all it took to get Soundwave to surrender was to show him that humans have electrical impulse driven nervous systems, making them ultimately just wetter versions of cybertronic life.
Silicon is almost as good as carbon for forming super-complex molecules. The Transformers could be silicon-based life.
Optimus: "Hey Megatron your decepticon glory days are over. Give me the Ferrotaxis."

Megatron: “I was just about to ask you the same question…”

Optimus Prime: Matrix of leadership son
That "I thought you were made of sterner stuff" struck a deep cord.

5:27 That QTE looks familiar.
No
Oh yeah give me head haches
I’m always reminded of the other Test of Strength that Optimus and Megatron do in Transformers Armada when I see that QTE.
..Well it does remind me of Raiden and Armstrong in a Test of Strength against each other, with serious button mashing.
Finally Cybertron will be back where they belong... IN THE HANDS OF THE DECEPTICONS
"Well if it isn't *'Saucy Optimus'* !!"

5:27 The Test of Strength ending here is the most hype raising, teeth grinding, pulse pounding moment in video games that I’ve experienced in the past couple years.
Also, when searching up It Has To Be This Way, Senator Megatron is the 3rd result. And for good reason.
CaptainDemo779 It was a massive "Oh shit" moment for me because I had already put the controller down and there were literally no other QTEs in the game. Good times.

Captain Sunder yeah. but hell, I'm not complaining. it's the closest we'll get to metal gear rising on next gen
Actually Optimus plays a lot more like Bayonetta, some of the features in the game are similar to Witch time in Bayonetta. The Legend of Korra game though felt like Revengeance due to the parry system

Be honest I figured the scaling of Original G1 is lowball Moon level to Highball Planet level+. This game was kinda outrageously broken due to their power scale.
Senator Megatron: Cybertron needs you to die, Jack!
Senator Megatron: Was a Gladiator on Cybertron, y’know?

Senator Megatron: That one cycle, every bot in this universe will control their own destiny! A Galaxy of the truly free, dammit! A Galaxy of action not words - ruled by strength not committee! Where the Law changes to suit the bot, not the other way around! Where power and control are back where they belong, in the servos of the Cybertronians! Where every bot is free- to think, to act- for himself! Fuck all these limp-servo librarians, and these junkion-shit bureaucrats! Fuck this 24/7 Autobot spew of trivia and humanity bullshit! Fuck Cybertronian Pride -- fuck the Autobots - Fuck all of it! Cybertron is diseased - rotten to the core… There’s no saving it… We need to pull it out by the roots!

I know it’s been said before but that’s a powerful line coming from Megatron.
For a moment you think, “Wow, perhaps there is more to this villain than meets the eye.” Before you remember the steps he’s taking to fulfill his idea of duty for his ‘Center of The Universe’.
It really makes the second verse of the music fit even more as well. Optimus followed his path, Megatron followed his wrath, but they both had the same love for their home, differing simply on how much each would willingly sacrifice to see it restored
The Optimus from this underrated game is better than any "G1 accurate" Optimus from any other cartoon.
Are you talking about design or personality?
@@marcossandrosilva6979 I think he meant personality wise.
Most of the G1 accurate Optimus’ never fully portrayed who Optimus really is. This game definitely does way better than most, but every G1 accurate Optimus has something special about them
@@azmodeus2828 One of my favorite quotes from Optimus comes from the IDW Comics. He and Alpha Trion were on the moon, looking at Earth, when Trion remarked Earth as a fragile planet. Optimus rebuked him by saying it was hardly fragile, since their war "ended" there.
5:41 We're done here!
I can't believe all that MGR memes would bring me to this 7 years old video. Nice
Seems like a lot of people are finding this video lately!
One will stand.
One will fall.
In the end, it has to be this way.
This is how the WFC Trilogy should had been made. This level of complexity for the characters and the level of awesomeness. Optimus fighting to the point of sacrifice and Megatron complex and yet twisted. And lastly, having the voices Masters that originally gave them true life, Peter "Optimus" Cullen and Frank "Megatron" Welker.
I still haven't watched Earthrise or Kingdom. Siege was sooooo MEH.
@@ravendarklawgaming197 Good, you really aren't missing much. They made Optimus a crying, sobbing, self pitying idiot with a speech impediment. And every one has the same idiotic somber attitude, and even Bumblebee is some sort of brooding tough guy... Yeah a character named Bumblebee 🐝 is a tough guy. It was so stupid and Optimus whined and at one point even wailed to Megatron to say to him that he (Megatron) "Forgives him". It really is crap.
@@EternalRoman For a second I thought you meant the games from the Aligned Continuity (WFC, FOC, RotDS, Prime). Speaking of, I have never actually played Rise of the Dark Spark. However I long for a remaster of War and Fall.
@@kabob0077 Oh no, the games and series are another thing altogether. The Series WFC was a sort of offense towards the characters and even the OG Voice actors.
@@EternalRoman from what i remember ROTDS isnt cannon as the game only create to promote TF4 movie, plus it clashes with bayverse, aligned and G1, and it wasnt made by High Moon studios.
In a nutshell, its Hasbro/ Activision try to milk the TF series in videogames but failed.
Fun fact: Both this game and Metal Gear Rising Revengeance were developed by PlatinumGames
Not only that, but Kenji Saito directed both games as well.
Dont forget Bayonetta
@@f687sNFM true but MGRR has more similarities to this game than Bayonetta so I decided to choose that for my comment
3:59 that transition here was awesome "You would place cybertron at the center of the universe - Not this time"
I do love it when authors actually give Megatron a deep, complex backstory. Him having legitimate reasons for ending up as a power hungry despot always trumps just being a goofy loon for no reason but "because".
When I went to see Transformers One, when Prime and Megatron started fighting, this is all I could think about.
Give me the Ferrotaxis
If you want it then you’ll have to take it, but you already knew that. How many times have we fought
Hard to say. It’s the only memory I have of us since Cybertron. Time to finish this Megatron, once and for all!
Now that I think about it, Metal Gear Rising and Transformers Devastation are the same game.
-Both were developed by the same studio
-Both have giant robots
-Both have attacks that slow down time
-Both have a final boss that creates pillars of fire
-Both have you grapple with the final boss and end up winning the grapple with a head bash
-Both have enemies explode when they die
-Both have absolutely ridiculous boss fights
Both were developed by the same studio, Platinum Games.

"I Was wrong Megatron you're not greedy"
"YOUR BATSHIT INSANE"
"Standing Here, I Realize You're Just like Me Trying to Make History"
In this line, we can see Optimus' and Megatron's parallels, and how they want to change the history of a race; both saving Cybertron and the Earth respectively
"But Who's to Judge The Right From Wrong?"
Megatron, even being someone that has a evil heart and desires, in the end, wants the best for Cybertron, while Optimus, for the sake of the Earthlings, has to became the enemy of his own planet
"When our guard is down I think we'll both agree that
Violence breeds Violence, but in the end It has to be this way!"
Even though they don't want the collateral damage, it has to be the way it has to
"I carved my own path, You followed your wrath, but maybe we're both the same"
While Optimus carved his own path, Megatron followed his own evil desires, ending in the same objectives, but with different worlds
"The world has turn, so many have burn, but nobody is to blame"
This one's deep
The devastation that the Autobot-Decepticon war did both in the Earth and in Cybertron did took some important number of lifes, but who really has the fault of that? Optimus wanted to protect the Earthlings, plane where he saw potential and good within it, and Megatron, who wants to revive Cybertron, planet that died by his own fault. Though, both of them doesn't really have the fault, so who was the REAL guilty?
"Yet staring across this barren, wasted land, I think new life will be born beneath this blood-stained sand!"
However, in this line, Optimus sees potential, and this that in the end, there's hope both for humanity and even for Cybertron and it's creatures
shout this song matches well after all...
Is it strange that I think this song fits Optimus and Megatron perfectly
I don’t think it’s strange at all. Especially when you consider Optimus and Megatron’s relationship, and how in many continuities they once believed and fought for the same thing.

Hero vs Villain
Optimus prime vs Megatron
The song is ironic here because it suits them both so well Optimus doesn’t always know witch path is the right way and has Energon stained on his hands a lot he fought to save but has killed for other reason
Megatron is someone who doesn’t care about killing he enjoys it he savors it no matter what but he has a end goal he wants Cybertron too be back again he would do what ever it takes too get it back Even if it mean killing Optimus

That is. They used the same assets.
I haven't played this game in years, but looking back on this gameplay has shown me something I didn't realize. They went to good effort to integrate both robot and alt mode into combat, and the transformation attacks are something so unique to transformers. I might get heat for this, but that is one thing that this game did better than the high moon studio games. In those games the alt mode was more of a mobility option than a combat option, but here in devastation, it is both.

Funny enough, it has to be this way. Literally.
When you think about it, this song fits both of them (though the song itself will fit any two characters with the same ideologies, but different methods):
They both have different ideologies for peace, but they are always at odds with each other. They want the same thing, but they had different approach to how peace should be attained. Optimus wants peace without war and living as equals. Megatron wants peace through tyranny. In the Japanese G1 continuity, Megatron and Optimus found the peace they sought for, but Megatron ends up starting a war that was outside his power (Kiloton killed by humans after being manipulated by Starscream for example), and Optimus knew war was the one thing they didn't want, but had to go through with it.
Even IDW Megatron was sympathetic.

I realize
You are just like me

That violence breeds violence

I’ve carved my own path
You followed your wrath
But maybe we’re both the same
The world has turned
And so many have burned
But nobody is to blame
Yet staring across this barren wasted land
I feel new life will be born
Beneath the blood stained sand
Beneath the blood stained saaaannnnd!

Top 10 anime rip offs that were as good as the originals.
Sure, here’s a list of anime that are often considered to have elements similar to other well-known series, yet have garnered praise in their own right:
1. **"Attack on Titan"** - Often compared to "Shingeki no Kyojin" due to its dark themes and intense action, it has been praised for its originality and world-building.
2. **"Code Geass"** - Similar in some aspects to "Death Note" with its psychological and strategic battles, it offers a unique take on mecha and political intrigue.
3. **"Fate/Zero"** - Though it has similarities to "Fate/stay night," its complex storytelling and mature themes make it stand out on its own.
4. **"Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood"** - While it shares a premise with "Fullmetal Alchemist," it is lauded for its faithful adaptation of the manga and its intricate plot.
5. **"Parasyte: The Maxim"** - Often compared to "Tokyo Ghoul" due to its horror and supernatural elements, it’s recognized for its unique take on parasitic organisms and human evolution.
6. **"Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic"** - It has similarities to "One Piece" and "Fairy Tail" in its adventurous spirit and world-building, yet it brings its own flavor to the genre.
7. **"Kakegurui"** - Shares similarities with "Kaiji" in its focus on high-stakes gambling, but it distinguishes itself with its over-the-top characters and intense psychological battles.
8. **"Steins;Gate"** - Often compared to "Future Diary" for its time travel elements, it has gained acclaim for its intricate storytelling and character development.
9. **"Black Clover"** - While it draws comparisons to "Naruto" and "Bleach," it has been praised for its fast-paced action and energetic storylines.
10. **"The Promised Neverland"** - With similarities to "Death Note" in its suspense and strategic elements, it stands out for its gripping narrative and psychological tension.
These anime have made their own mark, offering fresh perspectives and engaging storytelling that have resonated with fans.
@@efrainsoto96chatGPT ahh comment, AoT and Shingeki no Kyojin are the same series 😂
