All the dino mini cons are great. Can't recommend them enough. I have that t-rex in green, purple, red, and Grimlock flavors.
Armada Predacon, BW Megatron, and T-Wrecks!

Honestly, I do dig when Transformers gives us new twists on old ideas. The concept of Galvatron being a Megatron rebuilt by humans, not Unicron, and having all of Megatron's memories but no spark/soul IS a premise with all sorts of potential.

It would be interesting to see it explored by writers that actually cared.

Thank you for reminding me how little sense it made for him to lack the very thing that would actually make him a living being despite clearly exhibiting all the signs of being one.

Right? They put no effort into creating any meaningful difference between Galvatron and regular ol' Megatron. A good writing team could do something interesting with it. What WOULD a human-built robot with Megatron's memories but no soul be like? Not evil, per se, but completely without morals?

So he's an undead or something. Which could have interesting implications under a competent writing team. Or at least one that wasn't throwing it in as basically a footnote among two more movies' worth of plot elements. (I still haven't watched TLK, so I have no idea how they followed up on it, but going by the other movies, I'm gonna guess "not at all".)

You would be correct.

Also, if you thought AOE was like 2-and-a-half movies mashed together, TLK is like a mashing of twelve different movies. It's the most nonsensical piece of brain rot ever, with the only redeeming part of the movie being the first 6 minutes in the era of King Arthur with a big medieval battle with knight armies and Cybertronian knights who combine into an awesome dragon combiner. But once that scene is over and the movie shifts to the present day, it's all downhill from there and just never recovers.

I've still never seen TLK (AoE was the last straw for me on the Bay movies), but I have read Rob Bricken's "Spoiler FAQ" on it, which tells me everything I think I need to know about it. It is a very funny read, and I highly recommend anyone and everyone take the time to do so.

Love the King Arthur stuff, and TLK Megatron is my favourite live action Megatron. Aside from that... not much there.
