Description

Seems like as of late Hasbro is on a “redemption of villains” phase right now.  
Not complaining, just an observation that it’s been happening more often as of late.  
As long as some of other core villains stay evil, things hopefully won’t get too boring.  
Heroes can’t exist without a good antagonist.

It be grand if Autobots and MLP met Maximals and Predacons.
POne way to show Megartron’s reydeeming is he sees Megalocon (the BW Megartron) be a monster of his forging because of his actions, and tyr to change him only to see he’s more insane such as trying to become a god as on Beast War’s Nemesis episodes and the fianle of Beast Machines as well as the Galvartron of Transformers; Cybertron.
It be grand if Diamond Tiara understood Sunset and Megartron and help.

Well, actually, he and the rest and COBRA including the Dreadnoks and the survivors of Cobra-La could still conquer the world and possibly the rest of the universe. Storm Shadow is the only member of COBRA to be defected.

Maybe Cobra Commander can open a flower shop after giving up world domination.

My two cents on this.
 
 
I agree with everyone but Tiara and Silver Spoons reformation.
 
They could have been villains a little longer, rather then repenting in 1 episode.
 
Fanfic did better justice then this.
 
Everything else is fine.

While I liked DT’s change in attitude, I can’t help but feel it came out a bit too fast and…out of nowhere.  
I mean, even when we know where her attitude comes from, it felt as if she just jumped from considering the CMC her worst enemies/insulting them without remorse…to suddenly standing up for them and thinking the world of them in a matter of minutes. It just seemed a little forced to me. I would’ve at least liked a bit of foreshadowing.

I forgot how fyaying BAD. ASS. TP!Galvatron’s design is, even though they never explicitly called him that in Predacons Rising.

Difference? Diamond Tiara held off for five years. What makes her the most awesome of the reforming not super nice characters?
 
She did so of her own free will, she rose up to continue being her own independent pony. CMC only helped her see there were others willing to support her change if she truly wanted it.
 
Best way to turn a new leave, ever. <3

Like I said, depends on your philosophical starting point. If the universe was begun by an act of essential order and is in that state “good”, then disorder is fundamentally negative. What artists do is not chaotic; creating art is logical and harmonious, not chaotic and incomprehensible. Anyone can “create” chaos, or rather, inject chaos into order, but an artist’s work takes specific effort and skill.

First of all, Discord definitely started out evil, so he has most certainly been undergoing a process of reform. As for whether chaos itself is good, evil, or somehow neutral, that depends quite a bit on your philosophical starting point.

I wouldn’t say they reformed Discord. By the definition, chaos isn’t good, nor is it evil, it’s just is. Just like Discord. So instead instead of reforming him, I would rather say, that he was tamed a bit and funneled. He remained the same, just his hijinx are on smaller scale.

I remember many years ago a “G.I. Joe” comic book that had a storyline that ultimately led to Cobra Commander getting killed. It was during the Serpentor era. It started by revealing that CC had a son who was in the hospital for some reason. A lot of pages featured CC, wearing a disguise instead of his uniform and mask, sitting bedside by his son. Midway in the story, he gets a new mecha-like uniform. But then he feels too loyal to his son to keep going on as Cobra Commander, and so he gives up the role. That’s when an underling shot him dead and took over the persona.
 
Does anyone remember the comic book I’m describing? I have no idea if they brought Cobra Commander back the way comic books are always bringing dead characters back.

Considering Prime!Megatron used to be as noble civil rights activist before he went insane with jealousy, and was tortured by Space Satan before being reformed, it wasn’t nearly as far-fetched as a number of the entries on this list.

Chrysalis is still at large, and sombras dead in a can still come back in a convoluted way dead, And they haven’t even recycled all the G1 villains yet.
 
I think we good foh naw.
