Megatron was never the epitome of power.

What makes you say that?
He was practically unstoppable in TF1 (he survived several direct missile hits to the back when even the larger Blackout was killed instantly (and no, the crotch shot did little more than make Lennox look cool ), and only got killed when Sam sneaked up on him and used the Cube on him. Sadly, he was never quite the same after that, what with the less-than-ideal parts that were used during his resurrection.
OP couldn't stand toe-to-toe with him in a solo fight in TF1. In ROTF, Megatron, as stated earlier, just wasn't in his best condition anymore--also, it was a decision by Bay and Orci/Kurtzman to make OP more badass since viewers complained about him getting flung around like a rag doll in the first movie, hence the awesome 1-against-3 forest battle. In DOTM, Megatron was still suffering badly from his injuries in ROTF.

Totally agreed.
Either make him the main villain or don't bring him back at all.

Exactly, he doesn't need to crash on Sentinel Prime's couch for a few days either. He needs to be top dog again. "Back in charge" basically.
I think even Megatron saved by timeline meddling would be better than that...Tyrannacon wrote:I think he's going to be revived by human meddling basically.

Actually, Movie could simply fallows the story of Comic/Book, where Megatron is spared. Simply put, events of DotM Movie would be consider uncanonical. It is good, since for Bay's ending don't deserved to be mentioned ever again...
Well, technically it is hard to have regret to Optimus for killing Megatron, he have a hundreads of reason to hate him. But entire scene was simply bad. In comic books, where Optimus is in good shape and Sentinel was more problematic to Megatron, it make sense. In movie it is a one big mistake.Tyrannacon wrote:
Yeah I thought Bay's ending was a little uncharacteristic for Optimus Prime especially. I thought it was pretty good at the time, but it really limits what could be done for a fourth film. I'm curious how they're going to find a way around it. That's for sure.
