"I originally didn't like killing but the more I did it and the more I realized I was good at it, it became more appealing"

If that's what you're getting out of it, I think we're probably not disagreeing on much of substance :-)

"When I hear a character "fell," I usually associate that with "goes evil." It's very possible I'm mixing up idioms. XD;"

Okay, yeah. To me it also has a connotation of like "became sad or tragic," and what I liked about *the way I read* Megatron: Origin was that it seemed like his change was positive for him in some weird way. I liked that because it felt like a break from "evil always somehow secretly pwns itself in the end." (Which is not a bad trope in itself it's just... it's the norm, so seeing something different from it makes me EEEEEEEEEEEEE in excitement when it's done well.)

Which is why I was all HARRUMPH when Megatron turned himself in and became Sad, ostensibly just because That's What Evil Does rather than for what I saw as a clear in-character reason.
