Animated is my favorite Transformers cartoon, in part bc that was the first Transformers cartoon I got to see as a kid so naturally I have the most nostalgia for this series. Prime is my second favorite
This makes total sense especially since I thought personally the animated took place just after he became Optimus from Orion pax. That's my theory that's why he's just learning about leadership
Megatron and Optimus even when he was Orion have never been friends yes Orion admired him cause he could fly and he was a warrior but not friends hate where there doing
@@user-ve2bw3gf5b correct, that is exactly the lore of the G1 cartoon. Even the first IDW continuity, which originated the idea of the Decepticons being a good cause that spiraled into fascism, does not depict them as friends. The idea stems purely from the Aligned Continuity and really only factors into Transformers media from about 2010 onwards
@@Agico1998 i still need to watch armada (or any of the unicron animes 🙈) my older brother had some of the toys for armada so it's possibly earliest memory of transformers toys
@@adora_lovely omg !!! you should watch Armada! its amazing . first look armada, then cybertron and last energon( energon not so cool. that why he the last one)
@@Agico1998shouldn't sentinel be in that scene, since in the animated universe megatron barely knows optimus and considers him and ultra Magnus as rivals
In the animated series, Megatron is older than Optus like he’s a rookie after the great war of Cybertron and the auto bot that push Megatron away from Cybertron was Ultram Magnus Megatron and him has beef in that universe. However, he swapped gears when opus was messing with his operations that he decided that he was a fret that need to be dealt with other than that no never met each other until opus found the all Spark Megatron warship detected energy and decided to go after it was the first time they met at that point. I just want to throw this out there for those who are wondering other than that good animation.
