Chris is a Decepticon

[shutupman]

A couple of days ago, someone on the chat (I believe it was Saney) pointed out that Chris uses Megatron to shoot his enemies.
That would mean Chris is a Decepticon, right?
There's all kinds of weird stuff that this would affect.
For instance, Sonchu is an Autobot.

dun dun DUUUUUN!

It would make sense. Chris is an egomaniacal, cowardly jerk. And he has transformed, from Classic Chris to Tomgirl Chris to Greasy(-er) Chris.

 

[shutupman]

I had started writing up little bits about how Chris tries comical plots the same way the decepticons do in the cartoon, and stuff about how Sonchu would do everything he could to thwart Chris, but not actually defeat him - but it started looking like I believed Transformers are real.
The way I look at it though, if Transformers were a real thing and were divided between Autobots and Decepticons - Jerkops, etc would be Autobots, which makes sense even from a very basic standpoint (ie. cops, security guards, etc. are *good guys"), while Chris an all his scheming fits with Decepticon ideology.
He reminds me a lot of the Starscream character in that he knows he's second fiddle, and is constantly trying to usurp the throne from his betters.
Inversely, Adam Stackhouse is definitely an Autobot.

I remember bringing this up. I was trying to figure out why Optimus Prime murdered his sweetheart. And was able to link it all to Chris being a decpticon because of his use of megatron to shoot liquid.

He also exemplifies basic characteristics of a super villain. He dresses garishly, lies, cheats, steals, all of his motivations are purely selfish, makes bold outlandish claims he cannot back up, and is a dictator of a fictional land (which his "enemies" can be view as the rebel forces trying to dispose of him)

And not to double post or sound nit picky, but I think this may belong in "Chris" and not in "general".

I was lucky. I was forged when the Decepticon Empire was at it's peak. We'd overthrown our oppressors, we'd torn down a system that served only those at the top, and we'd turned outwards—refining the galaxy by cleansing it of organic races too backward to reconfigure their inferior nature. And you know what went wrong? People like you. The trolls and the jerks and the pickle-suits—people for whom the war was a convenient excuse to inflict pain. Yesterday, my faith in the Decepticon was restored. I met six CWCki members—and they were average and normal and brilliant, and they fought on my behalf when I really, really didn't deserve it. And I know you look down on them, but each one of them is worth ten of you. So what I'm about to do, I do for them—and for everyone else Chris has murdered. This is for everyone who's ever turned and fled in protest at what the Decepticons have become!

In a more general sense, Chris definitely acts much more like a villain than like a hero.

Heroes stand up for others, but Chris never does. Chris betrays others.
Heroes forgive others for their actions, but Chris never does. Chris holds grudges forever. Chris wants Mike Snyder's store to burn to the ground.
Heroes are willing to talk through problems first, but Chris never is. Chris wants to violently attack anyone who offends him, even if they did so accidentally.
Heroes sacrifice their own desires so that others can be happy, but Chris never does. Chris thinks he deserves to be happy first, and then others can be if there's anything left.

Chris is no hero. Chris's actions prove him to be a villain to the core.

Wow, when I saw the thread title I thought it was silly, but you guys are totally right

Switching franchises, its also funny how day by day Chris is physically transforming into Robotnik

I'm looking at that picture and now wondering how we didn't notice his receding hairline sooner (from the second-to-last pic).

And if Chris is a Decepticon, then that must make Michael Snyder the equivalent of Optimus Prime. Tara Strong can be some random horse Maximal.

And now I present Exhibit B:

Megatron is going Tomgirl thanks to Chris' influence.

He's really more the snively back-stabbing toady than a true villain (that he has no one to which he can be a toady is not important for this analogy). What holds him back (with the occasional vehicle-aided exception) is his crippling passivity, his inability to knowingly and fearlessly commit evil on his own; true villains don't need as much of an impetus as Chris does to act on anything, nor do they back-pedal or rationalize.

It's amazing how much of Chris's personality is based on late 80's/early 90's cartoon villains.

Oh lordy, the irony.

Seriously I'd have to agree with that. And that is pretty much stemmed from his lack of creativity and close-mindedness.

The character I think he fits the most closely with is Starscream. Always trying to be the one in the spotlight, usurp others for their power, use everyone you know for your own benefit, etc.
I don't know anything about the franchise anymore, so I'm sure there's some new character that fits Chris' personality better.

G1 Starscream; from the 80s, likely to have been seen by Chris, all talk and no action, snivels to the one who is more powerful, et cetera...

 

[mendoza]

Transformers Prime Starscream is the same way, only even more whiny and prissy if that is possible.

That's the one I meant!
Haven't seen Prime, so I can't comment. Perhaps when my nephew is older, or born for that matter, I'll have an excuse to watch it.

It's his long legs and the high heels he wears.
