Oh wait, I just googled it. To be fair, the fact that show aired on 19
83 kinda proves my point.

He wants to be as strong as the very numerous ennemy and should have support...And a miracle,worthy of one particular ennemy from MAX STEEL.Any hypocrisy,incoherence would come from creating terrans for himself (not drones) or being supported by some cybertronians like Starscream or else,the combaticon name doesn't sound pacific but that's common.
You'd be surprised what a dedicaded fan or writer can know with a little research.
Also, there's more than one way for the character to be a hypocrite: claim to defend humanity and then endanger humans who are "acceptable sacrifices" or "colluding with the enemy" (which he's clearly already doing by the trailer and 5-min clip); claim Cybertronians are the enemy but then starting to modify himself until he's more Cybertronian than human (again, clearly already going on).

His real name is Dr. Meridian.
Oh, I'm aware. It's the codename I have issues with. Well, maybe "issues" is a strong word; I just think it could've been better.
Anyway, been reviewing the bios, and I find it intriguing that Megatron's so...ambiguous. Like, it clearly paints him as more ruthless and agressive than the Autobots, but not as malevolent as usual. It really seems to push the current situation as an alliance, or at least a cold war, between the two factions.
