POV. John Walker Kills A Terf.

Oof, that’s mistake #1. Never underestimate Megs even if he’s Mini.

Has Grimlock ever gotten in a fight with Megatron?

Yes. It didn’t end well for him (He underestimated Megs since Megs is smaller than him. He had to tag OP in).

He’s still quite sore about it.

John: Stop right there!

*The mysterious clocked man looks back*

John: La- Lamar!?

Lamar: Who the hell is Lamar?

*The mystery man runs away while John stands there shocked*

When did Orion/Oppy get suckered in by Sentinel? Surely Oppy would see through the trash man. Or did Sentinel have blackmail?

Sentinel is a respectable chief cop and actually hides his nasty side quite well, he does have decorum after all and has a public image to upkeep! Sentinel met OP at the police academy while he was scouting for talent, and OP was at the top of their class, so he was immediately a choice candidate for Sentinel to take under his wing.

I’m debating that they might have known each other earlier; In his youth, what drove OP to want to be a cop initially was an attempt on Mirza’s life (Mirza was a political refugee and someone had tracked him down to their new home in Hackney) which was foiled by cops, and I’m thinking Sentinel as a rookie was one of them. Might have even let tiny OP wear his hat and talked to OP to calm OP down while the older cops were arresting suspects and taking statements.

It would give even more reason for OP to trust Sentinel when they meet each other again years later and part of Sentinel might also be flattered that OP ‘followed in his footsteps’, enough so that he takes OP under his wing, because clearly this is providence that they met!

It would also give a reason as to why it takes a while for OP to see through Trash Man, but he sees it a lot earlier than Coptimus does, and it’s not Megatron giving him lofty ideas or Sentinel’s idea of peace through order (even if that order is unfair) that drives his desire for a better world—-it’s the good and bad he learns from both of them and his own experiences working in the Dead End.

He’s his own person at the end of the day,

so the academy is reviewing whether or not to remove Will Smith’s award and here are some interesting tweets about that :)

Imagine John watching his future child pulling a John Walker just like him.

Megatron: He may have been your father, but he’s not your daddy.

Will bumblebee or hot rod see there parents on the decepticons side 🤔 🙃

Highly unlikely as none of them were remotely interested in the Decepticon agenda!

Bee’s father, egregiously, is something of a Functionist, so if it’s one thing Bee and Megs can agree on, it’s punting him into a flaming dumpster.
