Firstly, it was said that Fallen can be killed only by a Prime, there was ever confirmed that Optimus have Similiar Power, and we must remeber that Megatron killed Optimus in Forest Battle. I can say even more: Fallen can simply lie to Megatron to protect his influence and maybe life.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote: in fact in Revenge of the Fallen it was said only a Prime can kill another Prime. Megatron must have kept that in the back of his mind for Sentinel.
But Sentinel was already defited, also, he dose'nt look like he was able to fight. Megatron supposed to have enough time to finish them both. Instead, he completly underrated Optimus(even after events of RotF) and offer him a truce.Prime wasn't a priority at the time

With Optimus death Autobots will los all Bots with leadership ability, maybe without Ratchet. And if fe can stole a Matrix of Leadership, he could have a very long time to gathering a new forces to future invasion.Evil_the_Nub wrote:If he killed Optimus the other Autobots would have kept fighting and the Decepticons were defeated at that point. He thought he had the advantage against Optimus and getting him to surrender was the only chance he had.

I've re-watched DOTM over a dozen times so far, and it just seems so nonsensical for Megatron to do what he did. OP was right to kill him, given who and what Megatron is (ruthless dictator), but the circumstances seem so forced.
Having Carly play the instigator is pure nonsense; he'd have to be a retard to fall for that. Megs should have come to despise Sentinel the moment his face was pushed against the wall, and made his own plans to kill Sentinel when the time was right.
And his proposal for a truce? It's just not in character for someone as brash, proud and egotistical as Megatron. With Cybertron destroyed, Megatron would be overcome with grief and anger, and he'd challenge OP to a final fight, even though he knows he'll lose. A warrior's death is Megatron's one final victory.
That would be more like Megatron, instead of grovelling for a truce.
TL;DR, Megs acted out of character, and should have challenged OP to a fight to the death instead of beg for peace.

He was weak both physically and mentally and Carly played to his sense of pride as he basked in what he assumed was complete vicotry. It was a well done scene honestly.
Capt.Failure wrote:Always watched that scene and saw Megs realizing he was quite literally the last living Decepticon on Earth and was like, "Well...I'm slagged." I wouldn't call it groveling either. Maybe he was honestly deluded enough to believe Optimus would accept a truce with the bot who'd tried to destroy Earth three times, killed him once, and was responsible for the original destruction of Cybertron.

However I think he should either kill both Primes and run away, or try to kill Optimus, but be stopped by other Autobots, who arrive in last right moment, but be able to escape them. I could even tolerate a truce offer, but only in completly diffrent ocasion.Literally last living Decepticon?
