Megatrons rated based on how comfortable i'd feel letting them petsit my guinea pigs, Rebecca and Halatali
TFA
this Megatron has at least taken care of organics before–he kept Sumdac alive somehow–but i’m not sure about him being able to keep track of things like safe food lists or handling them correctly. i would only let this Megatron watch my guinea pigs if i knew i was coming back soon, like within a day or so. 5/10

as long as it’s the post-character arc version of him, i think he’d be wonderful. he’s considerate and attentive and a careful reader so i know he wouldn’t ignore my care instructions. i don’t think my guinea pigs would ever like him but i could easily go on a week+ long trip and not worry about them for a second. he’d probably send me lots of update pics too. 10/10

the thing about this Megatron is that he’d just delegate it to Soundwave so this is a Soundwave rating. he would be fantastic with any pet you presented to him. he takes all his missions seriously and would memorize my instructions like it was the Decepticon Manifesto, even if i was only gone for a day. if i had to stay away longer, he’d basically take them on as his new charges. in fact, he might be too good at his job and become too attached to them, deciding to kick me out of their lives. 8/10 points deducted because i want my girls back, Soundwave :/
if this Megatron delegated the task to Knock Out or Starscream, the rating automatically becomes 1/10 for reasons that should be fairly evident
if Shockwave, 5/10 because i’d come back and they’d be alive and in great health! but they wouldn’t be guinea pigs anymore
if Breakdown or Predaking, 4/10 i think they’d both try their best but they’re just too much

i wouldn’t allow him near my guinea pigs. he’d be rough with them and hold them with just one hand. he’d give them sunflower seeds and not get it when i explain why seeds are bad for them. probably would be the type to blow in their faces or deliberately make loud noises to scare them. i’d be better off looking for someone on craigslist. -1483974/10
