i got sidetracked looking at car posters on pinterest and the way my jaw DROPPED

I want it to be that one episode it's just suddenly revealed that Megs's throne was actually a Transformer this whole time (almost as if they arbitrarily decided to make a transformer toy of megs's throne IRL so they had to hastily write him into the show with little explanation). Is it just a reveal to the audience or to the Decepticons as well? Not sure yet. The idea that Megatron somehow didn't know about this is deeply funny.

And his personality is similar to canon except his role is much tamer, just going around base and scolding bots for breaking rules and insubordination, smacking them around but only in the typical consequence-free G1 way. Undoubtedly has it out for Starscream. He'd probably be the one to get remade into Cyclonus too.

I think we usually make G1 Tarn a bounty hunter but OOOOOO? G1 TARN BEING MEGATRON'S LIVING THRONE?????

There's fun implications there, especially in that "actually this silly thing could be a lot darker than the series intended" G1 fashion

And that would be something Hasbro would do to sell a new toy

And there are very fun ways we can lean into the rules lawyer part of Tarn's personality here in a G1 sense (especially considering the G1 decepticons and how they aren't usually ones for rules)

uhh guys, you know the kids are supposed to be the ones doing the science projects, right?
