Nitro Zeus (Michael Bay Pentalogy)

Nitro Zeus is a Decepticon from the Transformers live-action film franchise created by Michael Bay. Nitro comes across as little more than a loudmouthed, trash-talking, strutting, self-aggrandizing jerk. He is all of those things, but unfortunately for his enemies, he's got the strength and skill to back up his ego. Though his manner makes his seem like a rowdy brawler, Nitro is actually more the stalk-and-destroy type. He is a powerful, merciless hunter, using his vast arsenal and formidable tracking skills to locate and capture whatever targets Megatron demands.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) Nitro Zeus is a loud-mouth Decepticon and will insult and tease humans, making him one of the only Decepticons to have personality in the Michael Bay pentalogy.
 * 2) Unlike the Decepticons in the films (who are nothing more than evil genocidal maniacs), Nitro Zeus doesn't really care about the war between the Autobots and Decepticons. He just wants money.
 * 3) Despite his bad design, its still somewhat intimidating.
 * 4) He is shown to get along with Mohawk, again, one of the only times where Decepticons had personalities let alone friendships in the films.
 * 5) He is one of the few "hip and cool" characters that doesn't feel generic or annoying.
 * 6) He was one of the only few characters (if not the only) from Transformers: The Last Knight that became a fan-favorite.
 * 7) His relation to Shockwave is pretty cool.
 * 8) His Studio Series toy is great.
 * 9) John DiMaggio did a great job voicing him.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) His design is extremely lazy. Its a KSI Boss with a Shockwave Head.
 * 2) He doesn't get that much screentime due to heavy focus on Bumblebee, Vivian and Cade.
 * 3) He also suffers from wasted potential.
 * 4) He ends up getting killed by Bumblebee in a pathetic way.

Trivia

 * 1) An alternate death of him was that Cogman was going to kill him and use his body, akin to a Headmaster, but that was scrapped.
