If Rescue Bots ever had Decepticons

Ok: Two new really stupid Decepticons that go around causing mishaps and accidents around Griffon Rock, but their basically harmless.

A problem, but manageable: A minor Decepticon that would cause accidents and would actually fight the bots, but is still easily defeated.

Bad Times for Eveyone: Starscream, Soundwave, or some other major Decepticon.

Worst Possible Outcome: Megatron/Megatronus

OH MY GOD THEIR FUCKING DEAD: The DJD/Overlord

Counterpoint: any Decepticon, even the most dangerous, but they’re forced to abide by the rules of a show for small children. Soundwave’s causing mayhem at the radio station. Astrotrain refuses to let humans ride the train to work, because the trains are his friends and ‘it’s undignified’. Starscream has declared himself mayor and refuses to give the sash back.

Megatron emancipates everyone’s washing machines. No one can get anything done and tha washing machines are trying to eat city hall.

Overlord, Anger, And Emotions

apricots-from-nara:

there One thing I find interesting about Overlord is his lack of anger and other emotions, or at least his lack of expressing it.

Overlord is a very aloof, calm villain. Even when his optic is damaged, he is more amused then anything. In most media, bodily harm is usually what makes even a calm villain’s facade crack. But Overlord just grins and goads them.

Enemies are for the most part nothing more but annoyances. The closest i can recall him expressing being angry is when he has been reduced to a flaming skeleton, even then its almost like he is more annoyed, and scolds the Wreckers like they are children who got his tuxedo dirty. “How dare you reduce me to this. If Megatron comes i will be unpresentable.”

This is true for many emotions. Overlord is heavily subdued. Almost like its hard for him to express them, or he merely chooses not to. We know he does feel things. He falls into a depressive, vegetative-like state when he thinks Megatron is dead, and his fear when triggered is crippling. I also notice when people do things that bother him he gets this blank look or stare before he reacts. When Megatron says he either does as told or died, he gets that look. When Shockwave calls him out on his reasons for taking Garrus 9 he gets it.

There are a few reasons for this.

  • Overlord simply is not someone who expresses his emotions, and chooses to hide behind a veil of calm in order to further emphasize how terrifying he is or to mask any faults in his character. (Very Likely)
  • Overlord was conditioned to not express himself by others so he will just do his work with a calm, almost pleasant attitude. Either the functionalists taught him that, or Megatron beat it into him. (Not that Likely)
  • Overlord’s emotions are naturally dulled and muted after his upgrades. He is increasingly detached from his ‘humanity’, for a lack of a better word, due to how powerful he has become. it takes extreme situations to make him feel enough to express them in any meaningful way. Similar to Saitama from One Punch Man. (Very likely and somewhat supported, as Sixshot has similar issues connecting with others due to his upgrades)

Anyway… Sorry for rambling i just find Overlord very interesting.
