Then again, Galvatron (who was also made from Unicron's power) briefly tried to bear the Matrix right before Scourge did, and it didn't mutate him, just showed him some spooky chanting ghosts.

I always wanted the Chinese New Year two-pack with Optimus that came fully painted instead of using stickers.

I was gonna make some joke about maybe the Matrix really didn't like Scourge and the lumps were some form of punishment for him... ...but now you got me actually intrigued aboutt the possibility of there perhaps being some real lore implications behind it, since Scourge was created by Unicron's...

He was just as worthy as Optimus and Magnus. As not, not worthy.

Well, going by TFTM's logic of Hot Rod being the Matrix's one and only destined Chosen One, none of the other Matrix bearers were chosen by it either, so they were all in the same boat as Ultra Magnus. Even Optimus said that he himself wasn't worthy of the Matrix back when he first received it...

And eventually we may have some other "Hasbr-uh-oh" news to discuss that isn't related to the tariffs, so the topic title may inevitably have to be changed back.

He had no personal agenda in that moment, because he didn't know what was going on or who he himself even was. All he knew was that he saw some stranger in danger and leapt into action to protect her, with no ulterior motive.

"Megatronus has fallen! I, Star Rex, am now the new leader of the Unicrons!"

Indeed. They see Shadow as a uncompassionate edgelord and think it good sport, because some people aren't looking for anything logical, like empathy. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some people just want to watch the world burn.

It's a Jerk Convoy.

It's "Grass", not "Glass".

Well, despite losing his memories in Heroes, recall that the first thing he did upon awakening from his stasis pod in that game was jump forward and save Rouge from Omega's attack. He didn't know who she was or why she was being attacked, yet his first instinct was to throw himself into danger...

"And even though we're the ones who did it, we're also charging you with Destruction of Foreign Property. Because we can."

Shadow's game also mischaracterized him as an uncaring jerk. Even in the opening cut scene before the first level begins, he sees the Black Arms aliens coming down from the sky and beginning their attack on the city, harming and terrifying innocent civilians, and he's just like "Whatever, not my...

"Now available with chocolate-flavored windows!"

Lightlong and Leafback's mouths (and whole facial expressions) don't move either. It's a budgetary animation choice.
