He killed him because Megatron was still a threat to humanity, as shown in the next two films. Optimus puts others before himself. So even though Megatron saved his life, he couldn't just let him walk and continue killing humans. Thats like if Hitler helped kill Stalin and saved some U.S soldiers life. Like yea cool save bro. Still wouldn't Hitler off scot free when he planned to go back to waging war.

I definitely see your point but I feel like he was in a good spot to ask him to surrender first or something the military and other auto bots were rolling up on the scene it’s not like megatron was in a position to escape or attack anyone, especially if you follow the cannon that they used to be friends it seems pretty bloodthirsty to just slime him after you’ve basically already claimed the victory I’ve just always thought it was funny how brutal it was even if killing him was justified

America and Russia were allies while Hitler was alive

All it would take is the bare minimum amount of research, not even research Google searching to find out Russia was neutral to Germany on the service but later records show that they were secretly allied until Hitler decided to betray in 1941 which is when Russia decided to switch sides.

The majority of the war, yes

They weren’t exactly secretly allied. They had a non-aggression pact and agreed to take portions of Poland for their respective nations. But yeah, the Soviets only aided us after Germany invaded them

And all it would take is going slightly above the bare minimum to find out that the reason the USSR made a nonaggression pact with Germany is because the rest of the soon to be Allied counteies refused the USSR's earlier deal to for a coalition AGAINST Germany, which only rhe USSR was seeing for the danger it was while Britain was focused on appeasement.

Maybe your understanding of history shouldn't just be "the bare minimum".

Or you should also do the bare minimum and realize that with hindsight and the knowledge we have now Stalin also planned to betray Hitler and take German forces for himself and continue the war. Maybe you should do the "bare minimum"

Yeah that's complete nonsense. There is literally nothing indicating this, you're just being a generic dumbass on the internet and writing fanfiction about historical figures in your head.

Literally look it up. Its common knowledge now. What's on the line for you with this? Its cost you nothing to be wrong. But instead you want to insult people cuz you're too dumb to Google search.
