Highmoon TF: ONE concept art for Orion and D16
D-16ā¦I love youā¦
Gotta defend Orion Pax here but spoilers below the line.
Orion didnāt get the chance to explain why he thought killing Sentinel even after he was exposed was a bad idea. We get to see for ourselves why it was a bad call. D-16ās anger and rage were not quelled. It just expanded. He started destroying the city. He fired his death cannon at a random building that couldāve easily been filled with people who agreed with him about Sentinel.
In that moment it stopped being about what Sentinel and his followers deserved. It became D-16 taking out his anger on others and trying to prove to everyone all at once not to fuck with him because he, Megatron, was the strongest now.
When Optimus appeared, Megatron is pissed that the Matrix chose him. There is no āOMG youāre alive,ā no. It jumps straight to āthis is BS why did you get the power?ā Megatronās sense of entitlement is key, and itās with him from the second he realizes his tcog lets him fight back. The high guardās āone bot triumphing over another,ā bit just gave D-16 an ideology to channel his anger through. A new code to replace Sentinelās but one he actually believed in.
I believe Orion could see this and maybe couldāve stopped it had they not been caught by the high guard. At the very least I think Orion knew that killing Sentinel would lead to a sort of reign of terror and was trying to communicate that to D-16. Of course by the time we get there itās too late.
Big picture is I do believe Orion was in the right here. This isnāt a Batman refusing to kill the Joker scenario. This is Europe refusing to kill Napoleon because it would martyr him and could cause France to riot/tear the continent apart again.
To quote Arcane, you canāt make a deal with a snake by cutting off its head.
And the thing is we donāt know if everyone unanimously decided to follow Optimus excluding Megs and his goons.
A potential sequel could very much show people still loyal to Sentinel decide to betray everyone for the Quintessons.
I just watched that trailer, and, maybe it's just the voice actor doing a great job, or maybe it's because I'm Hispanic and he's one of my favorite characters, but something about Megatron speaking Spanish just makes sense.
thats it thats the whole movie everyone can go home now
ill allow the slander on the spanish language
