Huh? Megatron was responsible for completely decimating what was once a healthy, thriving planet, and the deaths of most of it's inhabitants. The only thing he cared about was tyranny and ruling everyone with an iron fist. He's the complete opposite of "patriotic". People who are patriotic love their country - they don't destroy it.

Yeah, how can you start a war on a peaceful planet in which you had 50% of the leadership in and call yourself a patriot? I'm thinking Dictator... power hungry.... selfish... jealous....etc, etc, etc

Key there is "they believe"! and I'd say that only makes them patriotic in there own mind.

If Megatron wins, he is a patriot. Since he lost, he is just a maniac or even a moron. Patriots or winners don't listen to a skinny hotdog lip girl.

Prime himself says to Sentinel when he ask did they win the war he said no.
Patriotism is in the eyes of the beholder. Osama Bin Laden and his followers think there patriots. I do not share there same idea's and do not see them as patriots.

I agree with you about hitler (in his mind) But for Osama it was about a religion which is idealy bigger right, then a country? Wanting Westerners out of Muslim countries? And yet, his thoughts wern't in line with actual Muslim teachings. I think (and my opinion) that he saw himself as a patriot for the Muslim cause, yet he seemed to shift his teachings around to fit his needs.
Reminds me a bit of Hitler.... Aryan race supremacy, Communism needs to be crushed.

It's like, let me start this war, Go after countries I don't see as equals and call myself a genious/patriot.
"Megatron.... start a war on a peacful planet (that he is 50% in charge of) and the last movie he comes off so that people see this as a patriot?
I agree with ya. many "patriots" winning or loosing have some issues. Problem is the story usually goes to the winner.

Also in the third one, he seemed less of a tyrant and more of a Hobo with a Shotgun. I guess the idea of a prideful, powerful dictator got boring for Bay.

did ANYONE tell Michael that the scripts doesn't make any sense continuity wise?
