The age-old tale. Who is superior? Optimus, the hero, or Megatron, the villain? But I don't want people just saying "Optimus is Godly," or "Megatron is a living weapon." I can literally say either of those things about Mixmaster. But proof gives you some semblance of sanity. And if you want gud sources, here is the best place to find their abilities, with numbers too!

Then there's his Signature. As if debilitating you opponents wasn't enough, Megatron can profit off them, which can be further used to fuel his Special Attacks. Simply put- the stronger an opponent, the faster Megatron can defeat him.
Now, let's bring his Synergies into the conversation. While most Synergies merely increase Armour and Attack Rating, Megatron's Synergies grant him new abilities altogether.Shockwave grants him a fusable Power Down, and only three of these can inflict a pseudo- Power Lock and allow him to steal Buffs very early on in the battle. Starscream allows Megatron to Stun opponents on using his Specials, allowing him to fuse Debuffs at his own leisure. Megatron's Synergies are arguably some of the best in the game.
To sum up, Megatron can:
1) Armour Break
2) Attack Down
3) Shock
4) Power Down
4.i) Power Lock
5) Stun
He's a one Bot army, who can take on a wide range of opponents. He's also very versatile, and the more strategic-minded users would enjoy finding loopholes around Bots and exploiting them using Megatron's skillset. I'm not saying Optimus isn't good(very close second), but his "Heavy-Bleed" gameplay cannot compare to the uniquely fun playstyle of Megatron.
DAS ALL FOLKS
Megatron has this:
Power debuff (syn with shockboy)
Special stun (syn with screamer)
Shock
Attack debuff
Armor debuff.
His specials are relatively weak compared to primes. Yeah, i suppose you could say "BUT MEGATRON COULD STEAL A BUFF." And use a special, but primes damage is fantastic, and typically consistent. Megatron can't heal, while prime can with ratchet synergy. Prime has:
Heal,
ARMOR BREAK
BLEED
armor buff
Attack buff.
Prime is significantly superior over inferior megatron, he would finish a fight quicker.
Armour Buff- countered by fused Armour Debuff
Heal- countered by fused Shock
Attack Buff- countered by Buff Steal
Prime needs to keep hitting to retain the Bleed on opponents, all Megatron has to do is hold the block button down for the rest of the fight, occasionally dodge. You might talk about Prime's healing, but from what I've played with the Synergy and looked at iNightSkies vids, you start healing consistently only at very low health(<15%). I don't think a Synergy is worth taking that much damage.
You're right, Prime starts off the fight as a powerhouse and Megs needs a while to go demonic, but that's where the Debuffs come in. Megs suppresses the opponent while building up strength.
But your points are valid, so an "Agree" from me.
These days Primes bleed ability can actually be used against him with MV1 or Primal. Megatron doesn't hit as hard but he's absolutely a better all around bot.
And a fused armor break with SP1 is a huge deal. With Prime you have to wait until SP3. And if you want to wait to SP3 with Megatron you can fuse shock instead of causing bleeds.
Prime: Prime is great for dishing out damage quickly and is good for those short fights where your goal is to kill the enemy as fast as possible.
Megatron: Megatron is a but slower to start, but is useful in prolonged fights (such as RoK, RoTK) where you will not be killing the enemy quickly and therefore fused debuffs start to show how powerful they really are.
I love Prime, but I have to give this one to Megatron. He’s an absolute beast and while he doesn’t do as much damage as Prime, he absolutely trumps him in those longer fights. (AMs and Special Missions). It’s also satisfying to see Megs pull off 20,000 damage+ on specials against RoTK Primal

Hmmm.... arcee is no match for a similar level bonecrusher simply due to bleeds. I’d rather retain the future use on my phone rather than play the ranged game for the full fight there

Seriously guys.. take a chill pill with your opinion.
I get bored sometimes or just want to read something that doesn’t require thinking on my part.
Megatron wins both, so why bother asking?
You are so, so wrong.
I personally like to use a screwdriver when it calls for a screwdriver and a saw when it calls for a saw.
A bwtter way of framing the question would be, "Which is more useful to you based on the problems in your daily life, a saw or a screwdriver?" I don't know about you, but I'd find more use for a screwdriver in a day than I would for a saw.
Here's the thing... Megatron is this:
wish demo meg could be more comparable to MV1
