Saw a tweet online that was like "they've done good guy Megatron what if they tried writing bad guy Optimus (not SG)" and it made me think

My brother in christ IDW1 is the closest we got to bad guy Optimus (there's literally a chapter called "All Hail Optimus" for fuck's sake) and people lost their fucking minds over it and to this day the fandom barely acknowledges that IDW Optimus exists even though he was just morally gray and not even evil.

People SAY they want morally gray/evil Optimus but they actually don't and it's never going to happen lol. Not only is Hasbro never going to let their precious marketing icon turn evil but the fanbase would fucking hate an evil Optimus and call him OOC and not a real Optimus and replace him with some other version

#squiggposting #that being said i feel like you could make optimus work as like...#lawful evil or lawful neutral perhaps #he wouldnt literally be an evil person but it would be via the law and order he would do it #but you know what? i'm literally describing idw optimus lol #like yeah. literally idw op's whole thing is that hes not evil and has the best of intentions #but the actions he takes to do what he thinks is right can verge on tyranny #so yeah i stand by what i said. we already got something close to an evil optimus and fandom fucking hated him #still hates him to this day #god i hate this fandom and how it's full of absolute cowards who probably havent even read half the source material #negativity
