And i'd like to remind you that it was Megatron who..
- in the first movie, through around helpless humans trying to get to the All Spark
- in ROTF, told Sam he was going to Kill him, slowly, Painfully,
- Stabbed Optimus in the back, killing him.
- Assisted in re-activating the sun harvester to destroy Earth's sun, which would have killed all of man kind.
-Atempted multiple times to kill Sam (and almost succeded in ROTF)
-had a plan with a defecting Autobot to take earth's resources and use human slave labor to rebuild
-He kills Sentinel, not because he had a change in heart about what he was doing, but because he wanted to relingquish command back to himself. He even said as he killed Sentinel..
"This is my planet! You will never lead!"
He then turns to Optimus and asks for a truce but under one condition..
"All i want is to keep my command"
After all this.. you still think that his truce was sencere?? Sorry, but a truce would have just lead to another betrayal once Megs was strong enough again. which leads me to another point...
One of the reasons Megs wanted a truce was he knew he was not strong enough to fight in battle. The only reason he "saved" Optimus was because the remaining autobots would have never sided with him and done what they needed to stop him and the rest of the decepticons. Also, he needed optimus so the rest of the Autobots would go along with it.
As far as O.P. behavior, he was done. NO more Mr. Nice guy. He tried that in the first ovie and look were it got him. His ass handed to him in hand to hand combat.
Being a true leader means doing things that are in the best interest of your party. He fought for freedom and liberty. And with a decepticon invasion where they were killing inocent humans, death was the only solution. Being a leader is making those tough decisions. And sometimes those decisions aren't going to be the popular, or preffered ones.
