It would’ve made Megatron reconsider things, have to actually form an argument for his stance.

Tarn has made himself into the perfect tool, so disposable and good at his job that Megatron canonically didn’t pay attention to what the DJD were doing most of the time, enough so that he was only vaguely aware that Vos had recently been replaced.ĭeadlock on the other hand often didn’t agree with Megatron, and probably was open about it. And its a shame that this isn’t explored because it pulls up a really, really interesting flaw for Tarn’s character - he fundamentally would never gain Megatron’s respect, because he doesn’t understand what it is that Megatron finds worthy of respect. Here he is moulding himself to be the perfect soldier for Megatron’s vision, and Deadlock is enjoying all of the prestige that Tarn’s efforts should be earning him. And which of these two enjoys Megatron’s favoritism and respect? Which of these two did Megatron send agents to chase after and was willing to forgive all of his slights? Deadlock, of course. Deadlock, on the other hand, is a Dead End skiv who operates on impulse half the time, who is notoriously insubordinate and doesn’t respect authority… and who is completely devoted to the Decepticon C ause. The brunt of it lies in the contrast - Tarn is cultured, he’s methodical, he’s a fanatic and a sycophant, he’s completely devoted to Megatron’s every word to the point of building a shrine for him. They were absolutely foils! It’s ridiculously obvious that they were foils! With the drug addiction parallel you mentioned for a start, along with the “being notably good at murder” thing. This DRIVES ME UP THE WALL I think about it ALL THE TIME Okay finally on lunch so I can answer this YES.
