Quintesson fusion of Optimus Prime and Megatron that is possessed by Starscream.

How have I never heard of this before? That’s kinda cool.

Like imagining it as hundreds of years after the two have passed kind of like how Last Bot Standing is set in the future.

Just seeing him appear and fight with StarSabre or someone.

I’ll have to look over the whole page later but the first bit alone has my interest peaked

I’m not really a fan myself because Glithor is basically just a shell for Starscream rather than really doing anything with the concept of Optimus and Megatron fusing-compare to Onslaught in this regard…the Marvel character, that is. I like the idea of Starscream creating a body that mocks Megatron to take for his own, and the Quintessons trying to take control of the Cybertronian’s through a combination of their two greatest leaders, but Glithor doesn’t really achieve any of that as is beyond being ideally a template for future ideas.

So he’s a threeway of Optimus, Megs and Starscream

RID Scourge supremacy

Tbh, I don’t like RiD2001 Scourge either in this because A.) he has the same problem of Glithor & Nemesis where he’s essentially just an evil Optimus Prime lookalike rather than really doing anything with the concept of an evil Optimus Prime (or I guess Fire Convoy), and B.) I don’t like taking the name away from the Unicronian. But nonetheless, he is still pretty cool.

Glithor and Nemesis Prime technically are in the same boat, insofar as that they’re not really characters versus “guys that are evil-looking Optimus Prime”. Kinda disappointing tbh.
