You are wrong. Megatron in the movies was a unique Megatron. Read the novel which is brilliantly crafted from the script of the film, it fills in the plot holes that the movie had in it. Megatron WAS actually sick, he was in pain and he had memory loss as well. Not to mention that before he had been under the control of The Fallen which once that control was released, Megatron started to tire of the war. Over time he CHANGED. There was no OC to fuck, no fan fiction. It is canon, it is there. The movie faces and the film designs were so overloaded with micro expressions that most people were dumb enough to not notice because they were either going off at how dumb the film was or drooling at the action sequences. There are OBVIOUS times where you see pain on Optimus' face, anger when he kills Megatron in the final fight, and sadness when he realizes everything that Sentinel did.

He attempted to blow up the earth, why? He was under the Fallen's control. And when he got shot in the face by his own weapon, part of his mind and memory was lost so the part about invading earth was still locked in his mind. Then in Dark of the Moon he started to see the error of his ways, he thought that if he could trick Optimus into bringing Sentinel back that he could return to Cybertron so he could rebuild it. And he and Sentinel went about the wrong way to do so, destroying Chicago. The line "I just want to be back in charge" was him saying he wanted to become Lord High Protector again, and instead of destroying more which got him no where, he wanted to build and create to see if it would bring him peace.

Movie Megatron was NOT always a homicidal, genocidal dictator intent on enslaving Earth. He originally protected Cybertron, then he was taken over by The Fallen, manipulated into thinking Optimus wanted to take his position from him and take over the Allspark. Then the war began. And under the mind control of the Fallen he was homicidal, genocidal, and wanted to enslave Earth or destroy it pending on his master's orders.

This picture wasn't "Woobifying villains", it was stating the character arc and how he was sad and in pain in that scene and in the canon books. Sorry that you are too blind to see it, but this Megatron is different than the Megatron's of the past, he has emotions. He has expressions of those emotions written all over his face. Just like you can tell when Bumblebee or Optimus are sad or angry, Megatron is just a bit more subdued, trying to hide it because the ones he surrounds himself with would think him weak.

they were either going off at how dumb the film was or drooling at the action sequences.

Or because everyone was too damned crowded, fast moving, and full of fiddly bits for me to see what the fuck was going on. It's really a shame because in the few shots where we have the luxury of looking at them moving for extended periods outside of combat, some of the designs are quite beautiful. Big fan of Laserbeak myself.

That only works if you ignore every evil thing he's done, like kill hundreds of people and Autobots and try to blow up Earth.

So just keep on keeping on with your woobifying self.

Are you really trying to say that Megatron was an innocent who was completely mind-controlled into doing bad stuff by The Fallen?
