I just purchased a complete DVD set for Cybertron and I have lots to say, but maybe another post. Right now I wanted to ask about something that's bugging me: consistency issues. I'm not sure if watching the set as a Marathon makes me miss phases or not, but here's one skip that disturbs me more than most, and I'm hoping if anyone has the missing piece maybe they can help me fill it.
First, we see Scourge to be a tyrant. The story develops and we see him with a rather interesting backstory, and then develop into a more sympathetic, honourable warrior. He and Prime earn mutual respect, shake hands on it, shows a soft side to Lori, and then rages when Megatron and his goons raze his forest. Prime leaves him as leader of Jungle Planet even though it was his right to rule having beated Scourge.
It is here that I may have missed a sizeable chunk, because the next thing I know, i see him flailing away at Starscream's trap for Megatron trying to get him out!? Then the next thing he joins up with Megatron, and Prime says, why am I not surprised you've aligned with Megatron.
Did I miss something here? Even if he decided he wanted to be a tyrant after all, he knew that Megatron lied to him, had no sense of honour, so why would he rescue Megs? Someone tell me I missed something while sleeping during my marathon, please.
