I've got it! I know why Optimus called Megatron "Brother". (NO spoilers. Really.)

They're trying to turn Optimus Prime into Hulk Hogan! Seriously, I reckon in the next movie, they'll have him finish whoever the main bad guy is off with the leg drop. And when he's giving orders, it'll be "Autobots, it's time to show the effects of saying your prayers, and taking your vitamins, brothers! Transform and roll out!"

What do you think?

Yeah, that's a no.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Did Hulk Hogan call everyone brother or something?

It would be pretty cool if Prime was MEgatron's literal brother. "Two sides of the same coin"...

Someone who is literally someone's brother.

I think it's possible that they could indeed be brothers:

Prime did not want to kill Megatron.

Megatron was clearly standing directly over Sam, and Prime, rather than telling Sam to shove the Allspark into Megatrons chest, shouts "Shove the cube into 'MY' Chest, NOW!"... :-?

When sam shoved it into Megatron's chest, Prime screams out "No Sam!":-?

When Megatron died Prime showed remorse towards Megatrons death, and eventhough it's hard to make the distinction between true brothera and just fellow Cybertronian by Primes speech, it can infact be taken literally.

Why would Prime scream 'No' to Sam, and rather have the cube shoved into his own chest? I would say that Prime doesn't take lives no matter how evil they are, but then i remembered how callously he owned Bonecrushers ass on the freeway.

My conclusion is, Prime didn't want Megatron to die. Why? Because they might really be brothers, in the literal sense.

*sigh*


Well I think Prime called him Brother because they said in the movie prequal comic and such that Prime and Megs both ruled Cybertron together before he betrayed them. So it was more like a brother in arms deal then actual brother-brother thing.

I love this sentence.
I personally don't really care if Prime and Megatron are brothers, because this is a new continuity, but I'd like to think he meant figurative brother rather than actual brother. I'd like that role to be saved for Ultra Magnus, like in RiD, but who knows if Magnus will even show up in the sequels.

NICE!!
I'm calling you out brother, in a all out death match! no rules just you and me in the ring!
and thanks for using the word reckon in a sentence. that makes me smile
as far as the "desmond from lost" comment, the writers for the movie used to write for that show.

I'm having visions of Prime screaming at Megs "Watcha gonna do brother....when tfmania runs wild on youuuuuu..." Followed by him tearing his breastplate off.
