Demo Bot Choice? Ironhide vs. Megatronus

Ok, here's the setup: I've had a 5* Megatronus since he was first released. Never really used him much because my main team isn't a Demo team and my maxed out 4* Ironhide or Galvatron was better than my level 10, rank 1 Megatronus (unduped) and I've been slow as heck collecting demo sparks/ore for advancement.
When that Ironhide 5* crystal came out a few days ago, I had enough shards to get it (if it hadn't come out, it would have been just another spin on the regular 5* crystal). And I got that 5* Ironhide (unduped). With that Fog of War going on, I've got enough T3 Demo sparks to rank up one of my demos, so...Ironhide or Megatronus? Oh, and I also have one of the 5* awakening things to activate their sig. On the positive for Ironhide, I have a 4* maxed out Ironhide that I could also forge into the 5* to make him even a little more tougher. I do have a 4* Megatronus, but haven't done anything with him at all.
Also, I know a lot of players swear by Megatronus but he's not really uber to me. I can take him out pretty easy with anyone in my swordmaster team (even Dinobot, though not as easy) or my Tantrum. I know he's powerful and top tier, but I don't see him as the best bot on the roster either. Point is, I now have a choice between two good 5* Demos and would like some input.

Did you even read the post? He has demo sparks, not tact, which is why he is asking about demo bots.
"pretty" high? Is there a bot that actually does more damage without DOT?
Megatronus without a doubt is the bot to rank up
Naturally high health and damage, and he’s constantly boosting one or the other with his relics. Plus his armor break, dark burns, power steal and life steal are all very strong. And if he’s duped, he now counters everyone. Either they have weaker buffs/debuffs, or they can’t activate any. It’s arguably the best signature around and protects him from all of his “counters.” Whenever it’s some sort of choice between him and anyone else, pick Megatronus.
Because:
Megatronus doesn't need to be duped.
Ironhide is a special critting MONSTER duped .
Looking at megatronus's special damage, it's not AMAZING, as ironhide is better in special damage.
Ironhide crits and burns on every heavy.
Both bots are fantastic, they both deal a good amount of damage and are one of the best demos out where. but for me personally, i would rank up megatronus if ironhide wasn't duped. Otherwise i would probably do ironhide. But it's your choice in the end.
Meanwhile Megatronus just has quite a lot of utility, what with healing, damage capping and 10 seconds of invincibility.
Really whichever in the end because I acknowledge both
DaveJL: Actually, with Bludgeon, I can outdamage Megatronus pretty easily and have done anywhere from 11-27k on heavy attacks, and on basic attacks, I've popped out single hits over 30k damage, and did over 60k damage on an sp2 if I remember right and Galvatron seems to out-Dark Burn Megatronus. That said, I otherwise agree that he is one of the heaviest hitters in the game.
BaRdYaAmN: I like the way you think!
OptimalOptimus_MV1: Neither are duped, but like I stated, I have an awakening thing that I can use on whichever one I decide to rank up. I'm kinda confused by your response. You start by saying Ironhide, finish by saying Megatronus and in the middle give reasons for both.
And I will say its kinda tough decision for me as Ironhide was one of my first bots starting the game and I got good with him early on--my son's first draw was literally a 4* Ironhide, I was so jealous at the time! And admittedly, he's the only Bayverse Transformer that I do like. If not for that, it'd be Megatronus just because he's the G1-ish one of the two. I do recognize Megatronus' versatility, which is also why its a tough decision for me.
Too bad he ain’t a demo
Ironhide is fun too, it feels good when his sig activates during an SP2. But I feel that he is a bit too straightforward to use.
On the other hand, because of his utilities (as others have mentioned), you can be a bit more creative with Megatronus. I only have a 4 star, so I pair him with my 5 star techs, and it's somehow kind of like playing as Robotronus.
Yes IH crits more often if duped but not that much more. He crits more when damaged. His awakened ability is the obliteration damage once per fight. I love IH but seriously Megatronous has way more utility.
I'd say if your fights are done within 50 hits, go with IH. But Tronus' damage is more constant when enemies have a lot of damage reducing tricks.
